With the offensive problems with his current staffing, he is being guided as we all know from others who have reviewed the deficiencies he allowed to occur. "Guided" How far has the apple drop from the tree since 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thought of a homerun hire would be one that would generate great success with our football team. That being the case, for it to be better it has to be someone that can work within the Gus confines. Another words it has to be someone Gus has trust in and is truly willing to listen to. As much as some might wish, we can not make Gus trust someone, so he has to find that someone. Is such a person out there ? I don't know but our sake and Gus's I sure hope so. WDE I have no idea how the 3rdgeneration sig came up, so please excuse me for that being in my comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope we would have sent out feelers, and had a clue who might be interested, before we told our previous OC to take a walk. It doesn't look like we have done that. As I've said before, this has been in the works for a couple of years. Rhett has applied for every small HC position that has come up since 2014, and has come to realize that he's not going to be able to move to the next level until he gets out from under Gus's shadow to prove himself on his own. No one was fired... no one was run off... there is no bad blood. This is all Rhett doing what he needs to do to further his career and Gus supporting him as he always has.

In order to answer that, one would have to know who the possible candidates are... as of yet, the only people who know that are Gus, the AD, and whoever they have confided in... none of whom post here.

BlakeWDE 3 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 It'd be neat to see a list of each potential OC discussed in this thread with pro's and con's. I've come to accept the fact there is pretty slim chance that I'm going to be super happy with the outcome, but I will remain optimistic and hopeful.

I agree in order to move up Rhett had to fly on his own, therefore I think he left on his own. As for the new OC...Gus has always led an effective offense, it's only been slowed by lack of talent at QB. I don't think it will be an OC, who is very far from his philosophy of hurry up no huddle, with an emphasis on running the ball and play action passing.

AUsince72 11,084 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Theory as good (and bad) as any... The hire will he an NFL QB coach, probably currently still in the playoffs or JUST got expelled from said playoffs. His job as OC will be (not necessarily in this order) to #1: develop the QB, #2: develop a sophisticated passing attack to go along with Gus' already solid run game. I don't think that there's much wrong with the run game that a solid passing attack, to compliment it, can't fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I_M4_AU 7,801 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Whether Rhett was run off or left to further his coaching career really doesn't matter. The fact that he is gone and Gus seems to approve, goes to the feeling that Gus has taken a step in the right direction for Gus' evolution as a head coach. The mystery is who Gus will hire and it is entertaining to see us speculate who that may be without knowledge of Gus' thoughts. I hope everything works out, should be a very entertaining Spring.
