I was going to bring up Robert Annae from Syracuse but NC State just stole him.
I would make a call to Kliff Kingsbury for the OC position. This would be a great opportunity for him to rehabilitate his career in the SEC. He has head coaching experience even if it?s not the most successful. He has national name recognition. He?s a young guy and should be able to recruit.
OC in nfl more likely.Quote:

Would you want him if he said yes?
I don't think KK likes recruiting. And going from NFL head coach to college OC would be a huge fall from grace.Quote:

My question is why was he let go at North Texas? I haven't kept up with them at all. It seems as though he had them pretty competitive.
They never won their bowl games and couldn't get over the hump to the next level. He was 44-44 at North Texas. Had a couple of really good years followed by 2 4 win seasons then .500 the last 2 years.Quote:

If anyone is looking for something to do, here's Coach Littrell discussing the air raid. It's youtube but it's from a podcast (or radio show?). Around the 8:15 mark is important. He says he runs air raid but adapts to personal depending on the QB and likes to mix in more run game. He says at Arizona with Nick Foles they threw 50 times a game but at Indiana had to mix in a lot more QB run.

They have averaged 6 PPG game better than the previous year. Everywhere he's been the offense improved when he got there and dipped after. Except for at USC. Lincoln Riley has a little to do with that.Quote:
