There are ways possible- Mason to rb. Will to te. Etc. do I think it's likely? Less than 50-50 more like 25-75. But it's possible

I have no idea who the OC is goi g to be. But he won't be coming from the championship game. We aren't waiting on that. I think we have our guy by Thursday. This isn't as easy as it appears from a time frame point. It will work itself out.

Good to hear you sound optimistic about it.

I keep hearing mason or friend potentially to TE. Seems unless we find an OC soon, it's gonna be hard to get a TE. Our only way is through the portal, and why would a TE come here when we haven't used one in 3 years and no OC in place?

I'm not sure I follow. Thursday is well after the NC game. And who's to say there hasn't already been some contact with whomever is a possibility from the NC game?

Thursday has nothing to do with the title game on Monday. The Coaches Conference is this week.

The reason I ask is he said we're not waiting on the NC game like it's after Thursday. I'll go crawl back in my hole since I don't follow.

I had rather him keep Mason at OL coach but if takes being the TE coach then so be it. I just hope we keep him. No OC is the main reason we are 0 on portal wr receivers too and not knowing what type of offense we are going to run.
