Confirmed Interviews

[Randy Carson]

I'd like to open this thread for reporting on and discussion of CONFIRMED interviews only.

Other threads discuss possible candidates; this thread is for conversation about ACTUAL candidates only.

Of course, everything may be kept under wraps until the announcement, but who knows? FACTS may leak out hear there. So, if you have it on good authority that someone was interviewed, please share it.

I look forward to reading what others may post.

The only thing I've seen that's actually been confirmed was that we reached out to Godsey but nothing came of it for one reason or another. Everything else seems to just be speculation.

Chip Long

I just researched him a little. I like what I read. I think he would be a could hire for Tech.

Anyone have thoughts on Lindsey or Long? I know Lindsey was at Auburn and then just got fired at Troy. Reputations? Results? Again, can't be much worse than what we've had the last three years.

I'm liking what I read about Lindsey. Solid resume as a QB coach, OC, and recruiter:

Chip Lindsey - Football Coach - Troy University Athletics

Chip Lindsey, one of the nation’s most innovative offensive minds, begins his third season as Troy’s head coach. Lindsey, 46, has been the architect of some ...

"Lindsey’s offenses, on the other hand, have been much more pass-heavy, even employing some of the Air Raid philosophies made famous by Washington State head coach Mike Leach when he was at Texas Tech."

What will Auburn’s offense look like under new OC Chip Lindsey?

Sitting next to just the second offensive coordinator he has ever hired as a collegiate head coach on Saturday, Gus Malzahn made clear that his decision to cede offensive play

He's currently the leader in the clubhouse.

If that is the case, who do you think would take QB's? I've mentioned it before but I'd love to see Dennis from Ohio St come in for QB's and Long just at OC.

Why in the world would Long be the front runner? Did anybody in the Athletic Department even research his offense this past year with Tulane? Seriously, it was atrocious...

Why would you take a lateral move from Ohio State to GT? Seems highly unlikely and does not make much sense.

And his offense at Notre Dame made the playoffs. The reality is probably in between. You can't just look at one data point. Maybe he was a bad fit for Fritz. What kind of players did he have to work with? His track record overall is solid.

Because I'm a fan and I'm allowed to dream big.

If players are the reason his offense was bad, why not get Kittley or Korn who seem to have done more with less?
