OC candidates

[Todd4State]

Not sure of his coaching abilities but his recrootin' ain't what it was hyped to be, DeShea Townshend either..........

Jesse Jackson? Jamoral Graham?

Deshea helped us get Brandon Bryant, Lashard Durr, and Chris Rayford.

[Todd4State]

Even though he is Bobby Hall's son- Will Hall wouldnt be a bad choice. Coach's kids usually turn out to be pretty good ones themselves

Bobby allegedly told someone that if he has a question about offense, he goes to his son.

The Urban Meyer tree seems to be producing for us lots right now. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Haha people on twitter petitioning for brett favre..very unlikely but would be grand slam imo

It would make the USM games a little bit more interesting. I would be afraid he would be getting into it thinking he would be doing it to just have something to do, and Dan is NOT going to let him or anyone else just fart around.

[engie]

Why would anyone think Favre would be a "grand slam" OC? What inclination does he have to work 60-80 hour weeks and kiss ass of 18 year old kids? What inclination does he have of learning the spread offense? He might be good as a QB coach -- but that's about it really.

Our fanbase is slaves to familiarity.

He might be good as a QB coach -- but that's about it really.

I'd question whether he'd even be a good QB coach.

He certainly could be, but there's a reason they say c students make the best teacher. How much of what Favre did can be taught. I'm sure in the grand scheme of things his mechanics weren't terrible and he was good at things like going through his progressions and those things can be taught. But he also had a rocket of an arm and I would say a knack for improvising. Even somebody like Peyton Manning, who's greatness probably does rely a lot on preparation and learning what to look for pre-snap, I'm not sure that many qb's really have the mental capacity to spend that much time preparing and to be able to retain and use what they learn during the game.

[Saltydog]

ever offer him a job (which they won't but his was during the Croom years), he'd wear maroon/white it in a heartbeat........We all know the man doens't like MSU but if there's one thing he loves more than UM, it's winning............He'd help Will all he could.............Will Hall would make a great coach and great recruiter.....He knows this State....

[32 Dive]

Rosebowl just weighed in on Koenning:

He said that he is hearing that Mullen will promote Gonzales to OC and, for QB coach, hire a guy that was staff at Utah. Rosebowl won't release the name though.

Google the OC at Utah when Urban was there, and Dan as QB coach. Not saying it is him. But I always wondered of Mullen would have a spot for him, after he got canned at UNLV in 2009

I'm not sure what you were expecting, especially from guys in their first year here. Neither one are Tim Brewster, and I don't think anyone expected that. Unless you're an absolutely elite recruiter, you're not going to just show up anywhere and get studs.

Everyone is constrained by where they are. I think they will both be the kind of guys who can go get guys generally on the top-end of the kind of players the school that employs them is generally able to get.

So at State, if they're here long enough, I think they'll settle into the kind of guys who can go get 2-3 4-star guys, even from out of state. That's doing really well here.

But I don't think either one is going to bring in 5-star studs that everybody is after.

[TheDogFather]

Hud.

This should be good.....

[Coach34]

Recruiting begins long before a player's Senior year. Hard to make much of an impact in one year

[gravedigger]

He has to mesh personally with Mullen. HUD didn't bc he is a head coach at heart. If the emcc oc is the Type of guy trying to be the next hc of Msu too aggressively, Mullen will not consider him. This is *cough**cough**cough**cough**cough**cough**cough* ship.

Your logic is sound. But it won't come to fruition unless Mullen is comfortable with him.

Is this a joke? I thought all Townsend had to do was tell'em he played in the NFL and show that superbowl ring and the recruits would sign the LOI in December.

[Fred Garvin]

But ... but ... but he's from Mississippi****

[Belegal]

Sorry coach but I'd never hire a Hall! Know them to well and their morals! We are above them!!!

[Martianlander]

Under consideration maybe 60% chance. Gonzales-OC. Mullen QB coach (Mullen true OC) and hire special teams coach. Might be a good move especially special teams coach hire.

Can somebody explain why and when the *cough*'s are inserted? I've had it done to one of my posts and have no clue what it was supposed to be blanking out and I don't see the context here either.

[Coach34]

make sure you include the apostrophe in Mullen's- if you forget, you get *cough**cough**cough**cough**cough**cough**cough*

Marcus wood would be great..if we got him..I would have lots of wool for 2014
