That's not worrisome at all.

Arnette will still really be the DC. Not worried about that at all. A Defensive HC usually wants an offense that runs the ball a little more than ours has under Leach. I would look for that aspect also

See in my opinion if he?s gonna just dip out after improving the offense he can?t be trusted to stay longer than 2 years. And for that reason I?m out. But I?m also one who believes you make Garrett Riley say no several times before moving to option #2

If your coordinators aren't leaving after a few years, you either have a rare dude or you are living in mediocrity.

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.

Sounds a lot like Leach

I just feel like we can get a better OC than Harrell is all I?m saying and I could be wrong and would admit it if I am

There is a such thing as circumstances. Right now he probably doesn’t have full autonomy. And he’s on a skeleton crew that’s liable to be fired next year under no fault of his own.

If he comes here it’s prevent being fired on a staff that he wasn’t originally with and to have full autonomy. It’s kind of dumb to not pursue him for that.

If he leaves after 2 years I imagine it’s a step up. Not lateral. It means something for coaches to be hired away for better jobs. As a coach it should be your goal to get those guys promoted even though you selfishly want to keep them.

Who? He’s easily a top 10ish OC right now.

Usually, but it seems that defensive minded head coaches who have had an air raid offensive coordinator tends to keep the air raid system. Bob Stoops hired Mike Leach at Oklahoma. He kept the air raid offense except for a brief stint where he went in another direction. He then went back to the air raid when he hired Lincoln Riley.

Ruffin McNeal was Mike's DC at Texas Tech. When he got the East Carolina job, he brought in Lincoln to be his offensive coordinator. Mike Stoops was on staff at Oklahoma with Leach. He took the Arizona job and hired Dykes and Littrell to run the offense away from Leach.

Jake Dickert is a defensive head coach who hired Eric Morris to run the Air Raid as Washington State.

Now is not the time for your asshat character. Nobody is being classless and haven't all week, until you show back up.

The real question is who should be our QB if we do not accept eight or fewer wins again in 2023.

My question: Who is going to be the QB coach. It was Leach. Will it be the OC? I don't think this issue has been discussed, if so I missed it. What do y'all think?

Give us some names of who you think is better and could possibly be attainable...

Graham is going to Purdue and not State. He was never in serious consideration for our OC job (from either side)

Yeah it was just announced a little while ago but it was in the works.

Also, Drew Brees is going to be an interim assistant for the bowl game. That's a pretty cool idea.

Yes it has. Leach was HC/OC/qb coach. Hence whoever they are saying is going to be OC is going to be the qb coach unless we promote from within for OC .
That's the problem with Seth littrell, he has never coached qb so pretty much rules him out unless we lose a coordinator on offense
