The OC Candidates Thread

[wnycanesfan]

The buyout wouldn't be prohibitive. We paid more to hire Manny back from Temple.

A lot more which is really sad.

 

[Handsome Squidbum]

I trust Mike Ryan, I believe this is Candle. 247 reporting Candle was unlikely makes me believe it more.

I had a nightmare last night that we will find out the new OC is Coley.

Take Candle in a heartbeat *with whoever he wants* as Co-OC/WR Coach.

Just my pennies though.

Weiner?

Care to revise your post?

Wifey is an ND fan and is praying that Bama hires Rees.

Take that for whatever it's worth, LOL.

 

[AllAboutTheU]

Or Saban knows more about OCs than this board does….

His record def isn’t as flawless as you think. See: BOB this year

 

[Canesforfame]

I bet it's Nick Saben we are gonna get the goat to be our OC, boss moves Mario

 

[L A M P]

Soon.

things are getting serious in negotiations

It’s serious, but is it exclusive

How long he been ND OC. Also i will never discount what the fans who watch these coaches think and feel about these coaches that come over. Michigan man were sounding the alarm about Gattis. Bama man were sounding it about Enos and apparently Temple....never knew they had fans, were sounding it about No D. So if your wife want him gone, please dont bring him here Mario.

When this hire is made, i want his previous team fans opinion, not some man on here analyzing fancy formations.

Mike McDaniel could resign from the Phins tomorrow to be our OC and heads would be ****ed still screaming for Joe Brady

As long as he doesn't bring his QB with him

Not gonna lie - Bama hiring Rees is definitely weird.

Definitely not the kind of pick for a team who supposedly can get whoever they want, especially after Grubb turned them down.

One thing to point out with metrics like F+, SOS is going to significantly impact teams like Toledo. If you look at their raw metrics (not opponent adjusted), they’ve had some very good offenses with Candle. 2013-18 they finished top 27 in points/drive every year. They’re being penalized for playing lower level competition, but their own talent level is also on par with those same teams. So I would say it’s really just an even playing field.

They aren’t being “penalized.”

You could play that schedule and still have a high ranking. They are just being put in context. As they should, and every team should.

According to F+, Toledo was the best team in the MAC this year, coming in at 78. And outside of Toledo, there wasn’t a single team whose defense ranked inside the Top 80. With half the conference being outside of the Top 100.

They aren’t being “penalized.” What F+ is saying is that, in 2022, when every team you played had an absolute sh*t defense, even an average offense would have done way better.

But that isn’t true every year. In 2020 Western Michigan‘s offense finished 10th in the country in F+. The analytics didn’t “reward” Western Michigan. It simply put it in context.

Toledo is number 1 in the 247 Composite talent ranking in the MAC every year. They have a talent advantage over most of the teams they play.

Apparently, John Ruiz was wrong...

 

[kccanefan]

Okay. Napier, Fisher, Locksley, McElwain, Daboll?

Napier was never an OC at Bama. I'll give you the other four, but none of them would be considered top tier OC's. Fisher had to hire Petrino to help him out.
Main Point is Saban is not above reproach on coaching hires and he's chosen some duds as well.

Just tell us . . . will the board be excited or revolt? LOL.

 

[mossmadness]

Nah. The board coaches told me this dude sucks and Mario was a clueless halfwit for even considering him.

He does suck.

This is like when people tried to use Kirby Smart and Saban wanting Enos, as evidence of dumb some of us were that argued Enos was a sh*t hire.

Rees’ resume isn’t super impressive when compared to what Bama has had that last 8 years

For @Bender

Nice. Good song.
