Weiner?

Care to revise your post?

I do not care to revise it. And a good day to you, sir!

The Candle hire would concern me a little bit. If anyone listens to the Cover 3 podcast, they’ve discussed many times how they believe Toledo is actually an under achieving program. They have the most money and resources of any program in the MAC, along with best talent just about every year, but consistently under achieve regardless. We already have a coach who has a reputation of doing less with more, so I wouldn’t be 100% confident Candle would out scheme high caliber power 5 opponents with similar talent. I wouldn’t hate the hire, but I would certainly be skeptical. Especially if we pay a boatload for him.

If we are paying $1.5mm+ I’m still team Ludwig

Followed by Mullen and Littrell

There’s a reason he didn’t get the big fat extension he was hoping for. And there‘s a reason he hasn’t been offered a P5 HC job, despite the last coach getting it.

So maybe he's a better OC than a HC?

I could see Candle being strictly OC, hire both a WR coach and a QB coach then shift Stephen Field to an analyst role. He could still help coach up the TEs (everyone does it behind closed doors), Mario has coached TEs in the past, MIrabal and the WR coach could also help. I dont think you need a dedicated TE on field coach.

maybe. Ideally I would want my OC to also be the QB coach. Regardless who ever it may be I hope there is seamless communication of the offense from top to bottom

Maryland was 66th in scoring offense last year. That's not exactly what I would call "fine".

Locksley calls the plays I thought?

Sounds like it’s right up Mario’s alley

Between @Odysseus and who else was it? @Science?

Might need to re-open Alcatraz or the court and prison cell at the old Veterans Stadium that was used in game days to arrest & process drunk Eagles fans.

Not I. My days of trying to amuse the zoo animals here with humor above their level of understanding went away with Coach Prime.

Guess who’s about to hire Tommy Rees, the guy everyone **** all over Mario for having the audacity to speak to?

 

[USNAVYCANE]

Candle would be a great hire.

 

[407cane]

lmao

if only saban listened to all the people on here who don't want tommy rees

 

[supacane]

Only person i think i would be genuinely excited about is Art Briles. Everybody else gotta show me.

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

Please speak only positives about possible OC candidates. Objective views are only tolerated once the future hire provides the terrible offenses while on the Miami sidelines. Any concerns or possible reservations should be held until then. Only sunshine and positive thoughts are permitted

Thank you very much,

Management

Did we hire a search firm or is this all Mario and Rad?
