Who should be our OC?

[TrapGame]

I was going to bring up Robert Annae from Syracuse but NC State just stole him.

[Reason2succeed]

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.

[Reason2succeed]

He may want to get back to college football though. I think it is worth making the call at least.

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.

The more I think about it I think Littrell would be the best option. AR pedigree w/ HC experience.

I've seen the Littrell name a lot, and I think he would be a good fit. I like the fact that he's got head coaching experience and could help Arnett out there.

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.

I think the admin wanted new blood. He's a good offensive coach though. He's probably at the top of my list for OC besides Riley.

[Todd4State]

First time HC, first time OC, first time DC.

That's not worrisome at all.

I wouldn't be shocked at all if that's what we do. Everyone gets a mulligan with this so there's no pressure for the administration if it doesn't work out.

I hope not. We are setting Arnett up for failure with that.

I'm just not sold on Littrell. I've watched some film of them and I don't know. I just don't have a good feeling about him. The others I'm fine with.

Yes North Texas had a top 20 offense this year.

[Todd4State]

I agree. But the whole priority so far has been what? Trying to keep things the same as much as possible. Doesn't make sense to me to turn over the whole staff if that's the focus. And Arnett has no reputation as a coach to go off of.

I would look at his time as OC. Where Indiana and North Carolina were before and where they were in just 2 years at each stop. Honestly it's the most impressive of the bunch. Indiana went from 101st prior to 51st to 16th in scoring. His last year at NC they were 9th nationally.

[CoachT14]

Yes North Texas had a top 20 offense this year.

Combine him with the head coaching experience with Arnett and I think we have a really good shot at something special next year. Littrell's offenses have done some big things everywhere he's been.

Chris Hatcher

Saw Cole Cubelic mention him and say go get him.

[Chuck3124]

I understand Harrell running the air raid offense and having ties to Leach, but what I don?t understand is why him? His offense this year at WVU wasn?t that good

[gtowndawg]

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.
