What're opinions on Todd Monken? With Dell McGee coming with him as OC?
Curious what people think about Monken as a potential candidate. I still believe there are serious candidates in this search that no one is talking about, and I think he could be one of them. Outside of his resume, I’m not familiar with him as a recruiter, but imagine a scenario where he brings over Dell McGee with him from UGA as an OC and a massive recruiter. Keep Caddy as assistant HC/RB coach/Running game coordinator, but I think this staff would turn a lot of heads.
Has coached the majority of his career in the south/SEC (UGA, LSU, Louisiana Tech, OK State, Southern Miss). Has coached in the NFL, too. Bryan Kelly has spoken highly of him (when he was trying to hire him as OC @ LSU.
Head coaching at Southern Miss before taking an NFL OC job:
2013: 1-11 (1-7 conf)
2014: 3-9 (1-7 conf)
2015: 9-5 (7-1 conf), won division title, Monken won C-USA Coach of the Year
