New offensive coordinator?

[mcgov12 1,235]

Let’s get this started, it’s never too early

[mcgov12 1,235]

My initial two thoughts?

Joe Moorhead

Ryan Grubbs, OC for Washington.

disclaimer: no idea if either are realistic

[TexasDomer 1,285]

Charlie Weis, Sr.?  He also has HC experience..

[jessemoore97 1,271]

Whoever he goes after it needs to be someone who shares his vision for the offense and adapt to the personnel we have now.  Ideally someone who has a track record of developing QBs, is good at adapting/adjusting during a game, and is willing to hit the recruiting trail hard.

Not sure who fits that bill currently.

Grubbs just told Saban no and has said he came back for his guys that returned to Washington. He’s not leaving. Moorehead, eh. Doesn’t excite me. 
Ill have to think about who does..

3. Tony Rice

In all seriousness, I think Freeman can make a splashy hire in the minority world. Showing a commitment to increase diversity at the highest ranks of football is a big thing, it may tip a guy like Keeley who is an ND guy all things told towards ND as opposed to Bama. 

Pep Hamilton is an intriguing idea.

Probably for a new thread, but ND’s football coaching staff is full of ‘diversity’, including the head coach.  I don’t think hiring a guy because of his skin color will sway any high end recruit. Hiring a guy who has a great track record, who recruits well, who can work with the coaches ND has, and gets along with recruits regardless of his skin color will attract recruits.  

I’m confident ND will hire a black basketball coach. ND will soon enough have black coaches at every level in their two major sports, including WBB. 

Hire the best person, regardless of skin color. win games. Treat players well. Put players in the League. That’s what will get players to go to ND.

Why not bring in the OC Hartman played under at Wake?   Warren Ruggiero......how would his offense fit with the personnel we have?

Hartman left WF to get away from that system because the pros don't run it, literally no one else does

No thanks to Pep Hamilton.  Had enough of him from when he was a mediocre coach with the Colts.

I just want the best person for the job…any other factor like hair color does not impact how a person calls plays.  Charlie Weis Jr would be great.  There have to be OCs at the lower tier programs who are being productive like Tulane, Cincy, Liberty, or even some of the non-D1 programs.  I love seeing people tutored by coaches like Kiffin.  Think Niamatolo would want to have a little fun just being an OC?  He would get to run his offense out of the shotgun.

What about Joe Brady? That LSU offence was electric in 2019, but was his success more a product of that insanely stacked offence? Either way, he would be a solid hire, but far from a home run. 

[irishwavend 565]

Actually, Clay Helton was a pretty good OC before he got screwed and had to take the USC head coaching position.

I could be wrong, but I think Joe Brady was pretty outspoken about not really enjoying the recruiting and college part of the job. If I’m wrong, he’d be a great hire

Baltimore is after him and no idea that he'd consider college, Byron Leftwich.

I looked at him earlier. 2m a year with Tampa Bay and he looks like he is headed for an NFL HC role.

That is not going to fly with Marcus. Probably safe to cross him off the list if true.

Scott Frost?
