The Captain 19 371 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Suspect Gino will call plays in the bowl game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessemoore97 1,271 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Gino gets the OC nod or bring in an experienced OC? Grab the Duke OC, may help with Riley? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian_nd88 89 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 I wonder if coaching at Troy is that great of a gig from ND OC. In other words, was Parker pressured to move on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnTostal 762 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Great for him. Really. I hope he does great at Troy. I also hope ND brings in an experienced, creative OC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgov12 1,235 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Woah wasn’t expecting that one. Gotta say, I agree with you here it sounds like an “I’m not going to fire you but you should find another opportunity” type moves.

Big23Head 2,249 Posted December 18, 2023 Author Share Posted December 18, 2023 I don't think Parker was forced out. He isn't a top level target for P5 so Troy makes sense. He also has prior coaching/playing connections with Troy. Good for him and good luck. Sounds like Denbrock may be a target. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denbrock would certainly be a great hire, but didn’t he just sign a big extension with lsu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be at best a lateral move for Denbrock to come back to ND as OC? What would be the attraction? Why would he leave LSU? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldy 1,225 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 I just saw all this news, so definitely surprised as well! But hey, I wish him luck! For Notre Dame, nail this next hire for OC!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessemoore97 1,271 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Denbrock, he knows the landscape having been here for two stints and is closer to his roots/family perhaps. Has experience. Not the hire I would look for. For me I'm looking to get away from the Kelly tree and his offense. I get LSU was really good on O this season and their QB made huge strides from his ASU days. Obviously just a name at this point anyhow... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrown_9999 1,006 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 What are the chances that ND's next OC just happens to already be on staff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaithInIrish Forever 4,701 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 @tneun89 and i discussed this happening in the one thread! This is the equivalent of Charlie Molnar to UMASS. Looks like anyone who didn't want Parker in year 2 got their wish. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbrown_9999 1,006 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 BTW, Troy University is in Troy, Alabama, in the SE portion of the state. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrown_9999 1,006 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Might not be about money for Parker since Troy was paying their old coach $1M https://www.wsfa.com/2023/10/04/sumrall-highest-paid-coach-troys-history/ Based on market rates, Parker should have been making more than that as the Irish OC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
