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

[StarkVegasSteve]

Also if anyone wants a name added just throw it in the thread and I'll stick it on there and try to get their credentials as well

He probably would but wave 2.5mil under Zach Kittley's nose and ask if he likes the fragrance.

Kittley has already said no to everyone. He's going to be a HC next year. Littrell has said not interested. And we aren't paying $2.5MM.

[Maverick91]

Why do you folks not think kliff would at least interview? I think this would be a nice place to park for a few years while he built his credibility back up. He is going to go somewhere why not State?

[StarkVegasSteve]

Well that ****ing sucks

Yep. Drew is going to be a big loss for us. He was probably the best recruiter on staff and he had connections all throughout Texas HSFB. He was also a hell of a receivers coach and was just named to the AFCA 35 Under 35. Bumphis wasn't if you were wondering. He also has no recruiting connections in Texas if you were wondering.

Kliff has stated on a few occasions since he got to the NFL how much he openly loathed recruiting. Kliff would be a great position coach, but you would have to have ace recruiters on staff to do the heavy lifting on that front and we don't have any at the moment.

Kittley has already said no to everyone. He's going to be a HC next year. Littrell has said not interested. Brikes said no. And we aren't paying $2.5MM. I'm fully prepared for some off the wall OOLF hire now.

Kittley has already turned down an interview. Also we don't need to be giving an OC 2.5 mil. 2 mil is the max we need to be offering. Kittley would be a guy I would've offered that amt to by the way. Along with Briles and Riley

When he turned down the interview I doubt that $2M figure had come out yet. Money has a way of making a person reconsider..

Yall remember when we all flipped out over ******* 2.5 4 year deal in 2010? We are waiving 2 mill for an assistant likes it?s candy now.

I fully expect it'll be Hatcher, Johns, or some OOLF hire. Briles probably ended our big game hunting approach.

He was also a hell of a receivers coach and was just named to the AFCA 35 Under 35. Bumphis wasn't if you were wondering. He also has no recruiting connections in Texas if you were wondering.

So basically Arnett caved to the wishes of certain alums to hire Bumphis?

[BankerDog]

Well that ****ing sucks

Drew was also heavily involved with Sawyer and lead the QB rooms at WSU when Minshew was there and led the QB room here his first two years here. He was the one running the film, drills, etc. was placed on the top 35 under 35 coaching list and is very highly thought of in the coaching ranks. We screwed up on that one.

I mean-people really think we weren?t trying to ?lock down Mississippi? recruiting wise before? It is laughable what some of you believe.

Caved to our new COS if I had to guess. But that's just opinion. Not based in any fact on that.

I'm glad Bumphis is here, but perhaps he's better off if the offense changes, but if the offense changes we have to have a new qb, which would mean getting a sought after portal player.

Not to mention Arizona is going to have to pay him millions to not come to work. He will probably sit back and look for a head job

[BankerDog]

So basically Arnett caved to the wishes of certain alums to hire Bumphis?

Basically there is a certain group of people who want people to be here so they can have ?inside information?. It?s why people are excited to have Peterson back and why Faulk and Hadad were really excited their old podcast buddy is back on staff and why Steve was pushing it so hard the last two years.

Little funny that our ?full control of offense promises? we apparently told Briles led to us hiring Bumphis before we even closed the deal with the OC.

[StarkVegasSteve]

I'm glad Bumphis is here, but perhaps he's better off if the offense changes, but if the offense changes we have to have a new qb, which would mean getting a sought after portal player.

And right now, that doesn't exist. There's no QB in the portal right now that could come and beat out Will Rogers. Maybe one hops in after spring ball, but to put all your eggs in that basket is risking a whole hell of a lot for something that has about a 10-15% chance of materializing.

[BankerDog]

Kittley was born and raised in Lubbock. His dad coach at Tech. He went to Tech. He doesn?t want to leave there. He is literally at his dream job until a HC gig opens up.

Yeah I was hoping we kept him. He was an up coming coach with a lot of potential.

Agree. Kids loved him too. But this board wanted the hot name. Hollingshead can recruit and coach QBs and WRs

[BankerDog]

I?m going Mason Miller at this point or make another run at the CO-OC at Oklahoma.
