[Goatman93]

It sounds like he's probably going to Tennessee

Yeah. That would be a great hire. He will give Kirby fits .

 

[JacketFromUGA]

Yeah. That would be a great hire. He will give Kirby fits .

Unfortunate from an X’s And O’s standpoint that his baggage is so large.

 

[MikeJackets1967]

Yeah. That would be a great hire. He will give Kirby fits .

I think his baggage would make him a non starter at GT

That was his dad. Nothing ever surfaced on him.

 

[JacketFromUGA]

That was his dad. Nothing ever surfaced on him.

He was there. No evidence showing he wasn’t compliant. Baggage is baggage whether completely fair or not.

 

[kg01]

That was his dad. Nothing ever surfaced on him.

IIUC, he was accused of basically recruiting dudes by tellin them how much sex they'll be having on campus or stte. Which, on the backdrop of what was allegedly and actually happening on campus, is bad optics at best.

over benson?

Depends on his knee. Does anyone know how his recovery is coming?

Kendal Briles is an OC savant. That guy will IMMEDIATELY become the best OC in the SEC. The stuff he did at Baylor, FAU, and Houston is amazing.

Man, that's a grand slam hire by Pruitt. I'm seriously surprised Nick Saban didn't go after him. Briles is going to give the SEC nightmares.

2015 baylor was a passing machine and undefeated till last 1/3 season. Then they lost every qb on team and lost 3 of 4 going into thier bowl game against high scoring unc.
Baylor closed practices and put in a totally new offense. It was a WR based wild cat that passed. 670 plus yds on ground and 250 yds passing as they out scored UNC. Pretty amazing coaching.

The baylor disaster was unfolding at this time . Art senior fired 6 months later for failure to report. As far as I know Junior brilles not involved.

Junior brilles
Would be a good oc if we were ready for a wide open passing offense . As other teams like syaracuse and Clemson ramp up passing over next few years , we should have added team speed and can make the switch if needed.

I am surprised there hasn’t been more development on the OC front. I would expect Collins to be lining up interviews by now.

I would be surprised if he doesn't have things lined up already. He may just be letting CPJ have his final bowl prep with less distractions for the players.

 

[Sarrick]

He mentioned he wanted to let the bowl game be dealt with first.

 

[chewybaka]

this will be critical. Who does he hire? His current guy runs a lot of I formation with old school FBs. I think if that’s probably not going to be the best fit, and will make the transition / rebuild process even worse.

Let’s assemble some good news / guesses on who this OC could be. Not a wish list or crazy expensive coaches we can’t afford, but logically defended choices.

Tee Martin

Tee Martin

Nope. Not a good OC. Recruiting coordinator maybe.

 

[FrostedOrange]

Everything I hear is that a LOT of people from temple will be coming down

 

[GTRock]

Hoping he goes after Freddie Kitchens (Cleveland Browns) if he doesn't get their HC or another NFL OC job. That would be big.

Formerly, elsewhere "GTjay"

What a weird thing to say. I had this dream two nights ago.

 

[ATL1]

He probably won’t announce until after the bowl game.

Also Tee Martin wasn’t a bad OC, I don’t think he’ll be at GT though.

He wouldn’t come here for just a rc gig. I’d like to have him. Best Atlanta recruiter there is. His lack of oc success is a risk I’d be willing to take.

I like Tee Martin also for OC. He's better than advertised, and we can't pass up the chance to have him recruit Atlanta.
