OC Hot Board Version 3-Let's Try This Again

[StarkVegasSteve]

Alright I think I have the list updated with all the candidates that have been mentioned. I'll add more as they come along. I don't know how realistic some of the ones recently mentioned are. I probably shouldn't have added Korn, but Liberty is small enough we could pull him from. Harrell isn't added because I doubt we could pull him from Purdue. Same with Arbuckle at Washington St. Just because we can afford to do it doesn't mean we need to get in a bidding war over some of these guys.

I'd rather us take a chance on a guy like him than some of the other names mentioned. Young, hungry, and the potential to be good beats old, mediocre, and you know what their ceiling is.

Agreed. Give some young and energetic up and comer with some fire. The offensive equivalent of Zach. Korn has had some great offenses at Coastal too.

[Really Clark?]

Yeah they kinda mirror ndsu. Head coach been there 24 years and it's always them and ndsu

Yep. Both are fantastic to watch though.

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.

I didn't know a couple on this list were still alive and never heard of the rest and I saw my first State game in 1963 at age 8. Are we now in a panic mode or don't know how do build an SEC staff on offense!

Agreed. Give some young and energetic up and comer with some fire. The offensive equivalent of Zach. Korn has had some great offenses at Coastal too.

If that?s the case, we should?ve looked at Drew or Miller.

Also- is Brian Johnson in the same boat as Kliff as far as not wanting to recruit? The games he called for Mullen here were pretty good. Good QB developer, which is really what we need.

I like Korn a lot but I want him calling plays first at Liberty. Chadwell calls the plays and is heavily involved in game planning.

I watch just about every ndsu game and have for years. I watch a lot of fcs because it's fun to watch. Kids playing for love of the game and most are well coached and disciplined

It's kinda like the list they were going over at the beginning of the first Major League movie lol

You and I have talked about Brian many times before. The issue I have with him is would he be ok with us announcing him as the new OC, but letting him continue to coach the Eagles. I don't know that we could wait another month to make the hire. But I will add him to the list. I know he will adapt his play calling. Hell look at the transformation of calls from Franks to Trask.

I was wondering about Brian Johnson myself

[BankerDog]

SVS-just for S&Gs?what?s Mark Hudspeth and/or Angelo Mirando up to now? Hudspeth,Bump, BP..getting the band back together

[Todd4State]

I'd rather let fans send in plays live during the game than hire Mike Bobo. Just pass around the Madden controller through the stands

Could be interesting.

[Commercecomet24]

Might as well add Charlie Weiss to the senior tour group of coaches lol

Angelo Mirando and Bracky being on the same campus is probably not good for all involved.

I think Drew is going to kill it wherever he ends up- Western Kentucky?

That seems to be a prevailing thought. I'd also watch for that to be a possible landing spot for Robertson or Locke.

Just saw a tweet linking SR to TCU.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Who are the best FCS offenses? Kansas State hit a freaking home run with Kleiman, maybe we could do the same with a top notch OC from those ranks.

Samford

[BuckyIsAB****]

What does SDSU run?

They never throw it

Good for the young man. Disappointed he didn?t get more game reps, etc. Was looking forward to watching he, Locke, and Parson battling it out in the future. Would?ve been good to see.
