OC Hire

[GTRock]

No shade on him, honest question. Anyone concerned that Brent Key went 0 - 11 in his only year as OC for UCF?

Formerly, elsewhere "GTjay"

I like the Brent Key option, he’s a great offensive mind, great recruiter, and he’s a Tech man.

Is he a legitimate option? Would he leave Alabama?

Same question people pose about Ken Whisenhunt I'll pose about Brent Key: If you took "GT" out of his resume, would any part of it stand out to you?

No to Brent Key.

I don’t think this holds water, hiring and firing an OC is usually a much cheaper and easier task than a HC.

That's not the point. Point is: What on Key's resume stands out if you took "GT" out of it? Does his on the field productivity alone even merit him consideration for OC at GT?

I've heard the weird vibe on Matt Canada, but he's been successful pretty much everywhere outside of LSU.

I'd be interested to see whether we go with someone like Bob Debesse who could start transitioning us to a traditional college spread....

Edit to say: I'm an idiot, Will hall was just hired by Tulane, not sure what I was reading. Matt Canada or Debesse both seem to have good offensive minds.

If Saban hires you, then you have some ability.

Great, let's hire him to be an OL coach. OC? No thanks.

His record as an OC to date includes zero wins. GT can afford a proven OC.

Doesn’t Bama have an opening at OC. He’s not up for that?

Yeah Alabama Co-OC Mike Locksley is the new Maryland head football coach and he's bringing Co-OC Josh Gattis to Maryland as OC.

I can see where you’re coming from.

What if GC was to go after Tony Elliott? Makes $850,000 at Clemson because they pay 2 OC's. Normally no way he leaves Clemson for Tech and is probably in line for a HC job in the near future anyway, but to get the "Co-" away from his name and be the sole OC?

Pipe dream I know.

[leatherneckjacket]

Not as critical as DC hire in my opinion.

Disagree. Building a coherent and effective offense while he transitions the roster will be key to this team.

He’s a Clemson guy or else I think he would.

Temples offense was pretty interesting he may come with him.

Temple's offense stunk. They were 97th in drives that finished in a score or at least one first down and 98th in drives of four or more plays. If we run the same offense, expect to see a lot of three and outs, because that all it is good at.

I like robert anae at uva. Part of the Leach tree and he picked us apart.
