Why do you folks not think kliff would at least interview? I think this would be a nice place to park for a few years while he built his credibility back up. He is going to go somewhere why not State?
Yep. Drew is going to be a big loss for us. He was probably the best recruiter on staff and he had connections all throughout Texas HSFB. He was also a hell of a receivers coach and was just named to the AFCA 35 Under 35. Bumphis wasn't if you were wondering. He also has no recruiting connections in Texas if you were wondering.
Kliff has stated on a few occasions since he got to the NFL how much he openly loathed recruiting. Kliff would be a great position coach, but you would have to have ace recruiters on staff to do the heavy lifting on that front and we don't have any at the moment.
Drew was also heavily involved with Sawyer and lead the QB rooms at WSU when Minshew was there and led the QB room here his first two years here. He was the one running the film, drills, etc. was placed on the top 35 under 35 coaching list and is very highly thought of in the coaching ranks. We screwed up on that one.
I mean-people really think we weren?t trying to ?lock down Mississippi? recruiting wise before? It is laughable what some of you believe.
Basically there is a certain group of people who want people to be here so they can have ?inside information?. It?s why people are excited to have Peterson back and why Faulk and Hadad were really excited their old podcast buddy is back on staff and why Steve was pushing it so hard the last two years.
Little funny that our ?full control of offense promises? we apparently told Briles led to us hiring Bumphis before we even closed the deal with the OC.
And right now, that doesn't exist. There's no QB in the portal right now that could come and beat out Will Rogers. Maybe one hops in after spring ball, but to put all your eggs in that basket is risking a whole hell of a lot for something that has about a 10-15% chance of materializing.
I?m going Mason Miller at this point or make another run at the CO-OC at Oklahoma.
As much as you and I disagree, I?m glad you can verify this information. Drew wasn?t just recruiting offensive players, btw, he was also very involved in us getting Brice Pollock and some other defensive players.
We could have dropped SS,Jr. moved Drew to QB coach, Bump at WR, and Mason as the OC. But, as usual, a small group of people believe you have to run the ball 30 times a game like it?s 2010 to win games now and days.
In all, I guess the people who pushed this last year when they tried to hire him for Leach will be happy now. Next they?ll be telling us how Jake Weir is a better QB than Rogers.
Like I said on another thread if we pay somebody $2.5 million for OC we will be paying the highest assistant coach salary in college football. I agree $2 million should be the max on anybody and this would put us in the top 3 concerning salaries.
I'll throw a name out, Casey Woods OC at SMU. SMU finished 12th in the nation in offense. This is his 1st year as OC. He came from Missouri where he coached TE and was recruiting coordinator. He served in the same role at UAB. He appears to be a hell of a recruiter. Was wr coach at Arkansas St. He was also at Auburn. For everyone wanting to bring back the TE, this might be your guy.
This is what is being said is a partial list:
1- Mark Whipple.
2- Mike Bobo
3- Jim Chaney
4- Chris Hatcher
5- Shannon Dawson
Hoping Arnett is not in over his head. Want him to be the man, but Bo figgin Bo?? Really? Whipple?
Woods is the son of Sparkey Woods. I thought I remembered the name. Sparkey is a great dude. Working for Brown at NC
It's wild how we went from being able to "big game hunt" to having to settle for scraps because "nobody wants to work for a 1st year HC" in a day or two.
Our fan base is the kings of getting fired up about one guy and creating a narrative around him, only to find out in the end that we're still poor and undesirable. It's fascinating really.
So basically it was Briles or Dog Shit? King Kong or ding dong? How is that possible? And if the next guy behind Briles on our list was scraps, how were our leaders so gullible as to think we actually had a shot at Kendal? When you're talking to a 10, and the next one on your wish list is a 3....the 10 is playing you, 100% of the time.
We have to be the dumbest, most gullible program in the country.
We can't get Kittley but what about the guys that replaced him?
I know he just took the WSU OC job but would Arbuckle listen to us?
What about Bryan Ellis at Georgia Southern? Was co-offensive coordinator at Western Kentucky with Kittley. In year 1 he has Georgia Southern in the top 20 offenses in the nation. 1 spot ahead of Kittley and Texas Tech. The number 4 passing team in the nation.
Idk why so many people on here are against paying top dollar for a proven OC
Ole miss is paying 9 million for a head coach
LSU 9.5
A&M 9
Alabama 12 or so
Auburn 6.5
Etc etc
We have a first time head coach that we promoted that we are giving him a chance that he would not have had anywhere else to be a sec head coach
We are paying him 3 million
If we are going to compete we are going to have to get him some help by bringing in a proven OC that can handle the offense , you will have to pay 2 million or above to get that and that would be fine because Zach will earn his money as a head coach if he does good he will be given annual raises
Even then that does not come anywhere near 9 million
I?m tired of the poor ole Mississippi state mindset
I like Zach and think he?s going to do great but shit.
Also anyone that thinks promoting Mason miller to OC is mentally retarded.
If Mike leach , who has called plays for 30+ years and had been a head coach for over 20 , couldn?t get this offense to scoring points on good sec defenses.
What the hell do you think his Offensive Line coach would do?
Give me a break.
