bigbird 61,284 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 ...if the Offense doesn't improve before the end of the year and Gus decides to move on to another OC after the season, who would you be interested in?

bigbird 61,284 Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 I think Hugh Freeze would be a tremendous hire. HF and Gus are good friends and Gus respects HF's abilities. That is the biggest difference compared to the other OCs under Gus. The OCs so far under Gus don't really have a track record of success. I really think Gus thinks of them kind of like a teenager with a new license. In as much as he trust them with the car, but when he thinks they've become a little careless or reckless, he quickly takes away the keys. I think Gus needs a more experienced coach, like Steele, that has the acumen and experience to be able to stand up to Gus and not allow him to interfere.

AUApostle 8,191 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Hugh may very well be the key to Gus' legacy. He runs Gus' system better than Gus does, IMO. And...I feel like I've seen this topic somewhere on here before..can't put my finger on it.

thrustmaxwell 413 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Also, why is some mod running around shutting everyone of these threads down. This seems to be a fairly common practice over here I've noticed, I'm just not sure why. I appreciate a MOD opening up the floor for us to have a discussion like adults instead of running around playing childish games like the other one seems to be.

Brad_ATX 13,654 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Hugh Freeze or Mike Yurcich would be my top two choices. But for the record, Chip Lindsey is not the problem.

corchjay 5,311 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 This is awesome. I think if Chip were to be let go and that only happens if we finish worse then 8-4 in my opinion that Freeze should get a look a long with baby Briles. However, long term I think Freeze would be the answer and get the respect from Gus that might tip Gus to letting go even more of the offense. However we would not be Ole Miss offense we would run the ball a lot more.

You know I recoiled at the idea of Hugh Freeze but you made the case well. His ability to not be controlled by Gus might just be the biggest selling point. You could bring in a God of Offensive Coordinators and Gus would still keep his thumb on him. The connection might just be enough to keep him from doing it. Let Steele run the D and Hugh run the O making Gus essentially a GM of sorts.

Yeah, it'd be another coach trying to run some hybrid of Gus' offense along with minor pieces of their own and with Gus determining the playbook and practice structure. If ole BuddaTeef ends up coaching at AU I'm done, for the record. He's a true piece of human garbage and just one more sham who uses their religion to hide that fact.

Hey coach, I trust your expertise and have done so since you started posting on this site. Realistically, who do you recommend that could be the best OC for us. What about Kendall Briles or maybe Matt Canada? I know Canada is his own man, but maybe that is what Gus needs to give him a kick in his pants!

Oh, both probably fit the bill but at least I don't have to think of Petrino as some sort of proselytizing hypocrite. Also, Petrino knows the importance of a running game so that puts him head and shoulders above Freeze in my book. I don't care if our coaches knock on some strange, I just don't want to hear them crowing about religion the next morning.

I know Canada is his own man, but maybe that is what Gus needs to give him a kick in his pants! Canada is not in the trust tree. My guess is both are smart enough not to come here. More than likely our options are Kiehl Frazier or Tyler Queen to WR coach and Kodi to OC.

There are a lot that I like but about the only 2 I could see working well within the footprint of the offense is K. Briles and Freeze.
