vandyvoot 8 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 58 minutes ago, Gr82batigr said: What's the scoop on Randy Sanders, co-offensive coordinator, FSU? Former SEC QB and current QB coach fo D. Francois. Coached Winston in 2013. Coached Reggie Cobb at U.K. 2 National Championships with UT and FSU. Early 50's, so may not be looking to jump to a HC position any time soon. Knows the southern landscape. Would he be interested in having the OC position by himself? I did not know much about his resume, so I had to go back and read. I would be ECSTATIC with this hire. He fits EVERY mold we're looking for in a QB coach. He has history as a play-caller, to include more of FSU's play calling in 16. AND he was recruiting coordinator at both TN and KY during, one would argue, each team's heyday. Also have to wonder how pivotal he was in the recruiting of Winston and Francois. My ONLY fear is looking back at last year and seeing how bad trying to poach from FSU came back to look on us. Not saying I am disappointed with the hiring of CKS, I just hated the light we were painted under. http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/17469723/randy-sanders-florida-state-excited-starting-deondre-francois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be a great hire. The problem is he just took the job last year and is now coaching with his brother. VERY tough pull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if you're asking posters on this board as if they are sitting in meetings and can slide your suggestions in I'm LMAO! I think most are just questions with not much else to talk about, obviously nobody has a clue whats going on at this point in time, and they may very well include our coach.

I think, and I don't wanna speak for others, that fans like to put together their own personal short list. Not necessarily viable candidates, but more coaches that, in their minds, would/could make good candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUEngineer2016 407 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 IMO our top candidate right now SHOULD be Sterlin Gilbert. Pros: Success everywhere he's been, specifically has shown improvement year after year Focus on playing fast Very good at QB evaluation and development Experience mixing high powered pass/run offense (see Texas's D'onta Foreman this year, over 2000 yds rushing) Young guy with lots of energy, but has a lot of play calling experience Coached under Art Briles at Houston in 2005, familiar with his scheme Cons: Moved to USF this offseason with Charlie Strong, might be tough to pull him away Could be a HC candidate next year (is that really a bad thing though?) I can't find anything that suggests he shouldn't be our top target. Can anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like setting some offensive records to help get you a HC gig. Look at Gus' resume. (That was for Gilbert's ears.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 No one needs to get to worried. Gus already has a fool-proof plan B in place. One of the young GA's has agreed if Gus can not get anyone else, he will take the job and call whatever Gus tells him. He said his selling point to being picked was probably his remark to Gus about how much he admired his play calling especially the FB whirly-bird play. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there might be a small SG fan club starting on this board. I know I'm one of them... Credentials wise, he seems to be on par with KB...but with a little more (non-nepotism) experience.

WarEagle2423 357 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I think Sterlin Gilbert would be the best possible get out of any candidate we've discussed, other than Lincoln Riley. Even if he did get a HC opportunity soon. He could come in and change our offensive culture quick, sort of like Muschamp did with our defense.

ScottsboroAuburnFan 462 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Sterling Gilbert Improved Texas from 92 to 16th nationally in total O Bowling green from 44 to 4th Tulsa from 101 to 59th It's sounding like Gilbert is the guy. Supposedly the wait has been on Lincoln Riley to make a decision, it was said Marcello told someone he was offered like 1.4 a year and Gilbert was back up to Riley.

triangletiger 1,599 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 If y'all keep referring to him as 'Sterling Gilbert' rather than his given name of 'Sterlin Gilbert', you're gonna jinx the deal. That's what happened with Mike Yurcich. Too many people on here kept referring him as 'Yurich', and he got mad and decided to stay in Stillwater.

autigeremt 6,569 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Personally I like Gilbert....but I really like Riley's offense as well. That said I would rather have Gilbert because I "believe" it would continue to utilize the downhill style of the run game but vastly improve the passing game in a way that best suits the talent we have right now.
