JBiGGiE 2,488 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 He was a pretty successful head coach in the AAC so I don't know that he would necessarily feel like he has to take a P5 coordinator job over an G5 head coaching position (should one open up in the next few days or possibly next year).

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,676 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I think Alabama would call him before we would, but it’s be a fun acquisition. Would do a good job of maintaining the Texas pipeline  Only thing is he comes from that Urban philosophy where you just keep hiring either guys you already worked with or clones of those same styles. He had like 3 different OCs who ran that damn QB power based offense with Ehlinger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they turn and hire a new coach in less than a day. This was all in the works. Exactly . Kind of how I expected ours to go lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caleb1633 1,418 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Would his offensive style fit with Harsin's? I don't see him being a stickler for a particular style, like Gus was, but I'd think he'd want to maintain some consistency in system for recruiting and development purposes.

My point is, you can’t hire based on long term expectations, rather maximizing the short time you have them. Then keep a list of potential replacements.

When has AU ever done things like this, at least in public perception, smoothly? Our normal time in days between firing-hiring a football HC is 9-10 days on average.

Respectfully, because I like to give our new AD and leadership the benefit of a doubt. If the expectation wasn’t going to be that then we shouldn’t have been feeding into in the beginning like it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â No. Having a taste of a HC, at his age, he will only take another HC job. No way he goes back to OC just bc of Tex cutting him loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
