Is there a splash hire we can make for OC?

[18IsTheMan]

Garrett Riley is obviously the name that jumps to mind, but that would be swinging-for-the-fences. I think you have to at least ask. Could we lure with him more $ and the promise of showcasing his offense in the premiere conference in college football? He has 3 years of OC experience and the worst offense he had scored 36.8 ppg.

Riley's replacement at SMU, Casey Woods, currently has SMU still ranked in the top 10 with 39.8 ppg, which is 3 ppg better than they were last year. Maybe that's someone also worth considering. He has SEC ties with previous gigs at Missouri, Auburn and Tennessee in addition to playing at UT. He's probably attainable,. SEC guys like coming back to the SEC. Though not a splash hire in the sense of Riley, it's probably our best bet to snag someone with a top 10 scoring offense.

Eh, his offense at Ole Miss in 2019 only put up 25 ppg.

I guess it would be a splash move b/c of the name but not so much because of his offense.

 

[Prestonyte]

Warren Ruggiero at Wake or Frank Ponce at App St
Neither would be a splash hire but good for the offense and likely to be receptive to taking the job.

I would think Riggiero would at least make our offense competent.

That would definitely generate discussion among the fan base...

We need a "wow" hire (I did not see that coming) for sure ... otherwise, we will NOT pull in offensive HS stars AND we run the risk of losing our current players to the transfer portal ... we shall see how this plays out but we will need to spend top $$$ to bring in a "splash" OC ... I do believe coaching under Beamer would be considered a major plus for such an OC ...

Life is good - Peace!

Phil Longo from UNC. RIght now has the 4th best offensive squad in CFB.
I don't see him leaving his current job, at least not for this team.

There is no doubt that we need a better OC, but wanting and getting the splash hire are two entirely different things.

Not to mention he has one of the top QBs in college football to work with right now.

Some Mizzou folks on Twitter are lobbying for Drinkwitz to bring Casey Woods back to Missouri as OC. If they get a good offense to go along with that defense, look out.

Shoot, I’d take him!

In all seriousness, I don’t think we’re serious enough about football to go out and make a hire of someone with proven OC chops.

Casey woods is the best option to me, ties to the school, ties to Beamer, sec recruiting experience, coaches kid, Broyles candidate, top 10 offense.

Gundy from OK is another name, obviously Beamer knows him, lots of experience, comes with baggage for sure.

Who is Coastals OC? They seem to score a lot!

He seems like a prime candidate to me. Has strong SEC ties. Looks good as an OC but not unattainably good.

Willy Korn. He's probably a package deal with Chadwell.

Oh, shoot, didn't realize he was Sparky Woods son.

That would be weird, considering how his dad's tenure ended here. Of course, that was 30 years ago, so hopefully he wouldn't hold any grudges.

Actually Newland Issac has been with Chadwell for a long time and goes where he goes and gets "Co-Offensive Coordinator" Role and right now that is with Korn. Chadwell makes most of the calls but Korn has been having more and more of a hand in play calls and would be a great get. I dont think the two are package deals (Korn and Chadwell). Korn is learning that system and if we went that route, Doty would be incredible in that system. Rattler would not do as well I dont think because not quite as much his style.

It would add some spice to the Clemson game.
