Once guys hit OC in the SEC , they tend to stay in the SEC where the pay is more and it puts them in line for an SEC HC Job that pays way more than we do.

Also, we don't know how much is Lebby's Offense , and how much is Lane Kiffin and his QB development background?

He’s coached under Briles, Heupel and Kiffin. I’d say he’s worth the risk.

My point exactly, how much was him and how much was due to those great guys you listed.

Remember all the Belichick proteges that have failed miserably in the NFL, being "under" Belichick did nothing for them.

Dude … you’re exhausting. I offered a reasonable candidate. If you don’t like it…fine. It’s a message board. Nobody from GT gives a crap what you or I think.
 
Thoughts on Drew Cronic, Mercer head coach? He’s had success at every step up he’s taken thus far.

Nice suggestion. I follow Mercer football and have been to several games over the past year. He’s done a nice job there and disappointed they didn’t make the playoffs. He gets a little predictable at times but otherwise has done a great job in Macon.
 
No retreads. Go nuts and bring in Corey Dennis as OC and passing game coordinator with Duece as co- OC and run game coordinator. Lincoln Riley,'s little brother was a QB coach and hired by Dikes when he was announced OC at Appy State. Why not buck the trend and not get a 55+ retread?

Well, that's one strategy...although not necessarily a strong one to pursue.

How about if you can get a 55+ "retread" who has had successful offenses everywhere he's been?

And just because a coach played football and married Urban Meyer's daughter doesn't necessarily mean he knows how/when/where to attack a defense.
 
One exercise I would propose is asking...

If [insert name] didn't attend GT, would they still be a candidate for [insert job] on GT's staff?

If the answer is no, hire someone else.

The alma mater connection means nothing with respect to results on game day. Hire someone who can coach.

And if he succeeds, pony up to keep him.

My buddy's son plays TE for Mercer... he moved with the HC from Lenoir-Rhyne to Mercer. Cronic seems to be a very offensive-minded head coach. I graduated from Reinhardt, where Cronic's first HC gig was at (albeit I was there before him).
 
PressManCoverage said:
My assumption is that any new OC wants input on who coaches the RBs, WRs, OLs

Hiring an OC with no input on who's working with him and for him is a sign that we are in line for a very weak candidate, to summarize, "a discount OC".

Why could it not mean we are in line for more firings? The new OC could come in and decide who to keep.
 
Lame Kitten. I mean, as long as we're throwing öööö at the wall.
