Offensive Coordinator hire is now absolutely CRITICAL

[POTFHBTFU]

The problem is the only OC with experience we'll be able to hire is an unsuccessful one in their previous outing.

There are plenty of good OCs calling plays for G5 that would be happy to make the jump to big ten. Also our coaching pool had a sizable increase.

He is set up to fail and will fail. ZERO years head coaching experience using a big ten school as his training wheels.

Kinda like Dabo Swinney…

Why would I coach for someone less qualified than I would be as an OC. Pass

It happens all of the time at Alabama.

Or Kirby Smart or Barry Switzter or Barry Alvarez or Tom Osborne or Ryan Day or ….

Once Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, TCU, SMU, LSU, and others get done with Texas recruits, There are only 2/3 stars left. Seriously, I am sure everyone here keeps an eye on recruiting in the South. Weather, proximity to home, grades, etc.

We've done pretty well with Texas products, especially the unrated/unheralded ones. And it always gets back to the question, is a Texas (or Florida) 3 star an Indiana 4 or 5 star? Biggest and best thing is the competition they play against. They come in a little more prepared for life in the BT.

Plus the Texas HS coaching is the best. Sort of like Indiana HS coaching in hoops.

Bobby Petrino just quit his head coaching job at missouri st to become the oc at UNLV

People mentioning Graham Harrell from WVU as a possibility. That would be a home run. He was great under Leach at TT. I saw him in the Texas HS championships when he was at Ennis. He was a gunslinger. I think he still holds the record for single season and career TDs for Texas HS.
