[QUOTE="1939hotmagic, post: 336381, member: 1792"] Operating on the assumptions that PJ retires when he wants, and that Tech will want to retain an option-oriented offense -- here's someone to keep an eye on is a coach [I]outside [/I]the Johnson coaching tree: [COLOR=#0059b3][B]Brent Thompson[/B][/COLOR], now in his second year as HC at The Citadel. He operates a run-heavy, option-oriented offense, typically either out of the classic double-slot flexbone or out of a "T-bone" (imagine halfbacks rather than slotbacks, and with WRs instead of TEs as in a classic T formation). As an OC, Thompson's offenses were successful and piled up yardage at Div. 2 Lenoir-Rhyne from 2011-2013 and then at The Citadel in 2014-2015, and nothing changed last year as Thompson was bumped up to HC (after JMU snagged Mike Houston as HC from The Citadel). No telling what will unfold in the next few years, but if Thompson continues to either do well at The Citadel, or gets picked up by some struggling FBS program with the uncommon good sense to "get a guy who runs an offense like the academies and Georgia Tech do" and continues to have some success, well -- just keep an eye on Thompson over the next few years.
