He may need time off and you have to vet him maybe stronger than other candidates to see what's true and what's sour grapes.Quote:

You may not be familiar with all the shenanigans. Go look em up.
I'm 99.9999% sure he wouldn't do it because he turned down Miami last year but you could make another $2MIL swing at Jason Candle
He just signed on to be on Deion's staff at Colorado.Quote:

That's was Kent State's HC. Candle is at ToledoQuote:

So you're not familiar with any OC's, but the one's listed are bad. Got it. That makes a ton of sense. There's not many up and coming OC's left this cycle. Briles and Riley are at the top of that list though and we will not get either. I mean Brian Hartline would be a grand slam hire from Ohio St. But he coaches receivers and we just hired God's gift to coaching Chad Bumphis to coach that position so we can't hire him. We ran off the best in house candidate, Hollingshead, to bring in Bumphis. This late in the game finding an OC isn't going to be easy. This is best available that is realistic. Graham Harrell would've been good but he's at Pudue now. I mean I could add DJ Mangas, who was an analyst under Brady at both LSU and with Carolina and was LSU's passing game coordinator last year. But the shine has kind of worn off there. I mean GJ Kinne would've been a great hire, unfortunately he took the Texas St HC job. Eric Morris would've been a great hire, but he took the UNT job.Quote:

Kittley has already turned down an interview. Also we don't need to be giving an OC 2.5 mil. 2 mil is the max we need to be offering. Kittley would be a guy I would've offered that amt to by the way. Along with Briles and RileyQuote:

There's only one coach who will get Locke back on board and we dumped him for Bumphis.Quote:
