That’s a hell of a hire. Wtf are we doing

Been in works for a while apparently. Their opening was longer than ours btw

 

[SLICKYINC]

That’ll make some people sweat. A defense in the big 12..

We are waiting till the coaches convention like every other major program where we will set up a booth to take resumes

 

[Volator]

And yet.. with alllll that superior talent, and alllll that innovation..he almost got his ass beat despite having one of the best teams ever...

Because his all world starting QB got boo-boos and had a bad day...

Key word. ALMOST and I don’t think his system changed that much when Hurts entered the game. Nothing being written will change your mind will it.

 

[HankHill]

Didn't realize we were looking for a DC?

Obviously talking about other programs making moves while we’re sitting around.

 

[Sleegro]

Except for the guy who actually ran the offense, Helton. He was about as forward thinking as Knute Rockne

He came from a background of it though. Just wasn't able to execute here. Doesn't mean the next guy won't be able to or that Pruitt didn't expect Helton to be forward thinking based on his past.

Your QB gets hurt (no matter the system) and your offense suffers to some extent. Lebby was part of a system that lost it’s top 3 QB’s in a season but still boatraced a pretty salty UNC defense in a bowl game. Peruse.
North Carolina vs. Baylor - Game Summary - December 29, 2015 - ESPN

Perfect hire. He already knows how to mesh with that offense. Worked for Rileys mentor Leach

 

[PYSCHO]

With OU defense Sunseri would be better. Any hire would be a hell of a hire

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Hubbs just said that’s he doesn’t get the sense that Pruitt is close to a decision in the OC search nor does he think he’s in a hurry. Still. This may go till spring

I like Hubbs, but if not related to recruiting I barely listen. He seems ultra vague and always waits until certain to report anything.

Then yornusing wrong example. Oklahoma fired Stoops mid year

 

[revjayp]

Wow. Stinks to lose Yurcich to Ohio St. I’d love to have heard how Pruitt reacted when he got the call. Lol. Probably R rated at best.

 

[SweetasSoda]

LOL. Are you really trying to compare the shape of their program and hires to ours? We are not in a position to grab whomever we want. Doesn't mean we will not end up with someone that can do a good job.

 

[Catbone]

We really needed yurcich to work out. We're in a vicious cycle of replacing mediocre OCs with more mediocre OCs every year.

 

[HankHill]

I’m not going to list the programs who have made HC and coordinator hires while we’ve been vacant.

 

[INKYBERRYVOL]

Has anybody pointed out that Lebby and Nieds are basically twins? Homerun hire imo

View attachment 186921

Heard he has a national championship ring

Shhh you'll ruin some narratives. Some of us realize you can take yer time and make a great hire, but that wouldn't ever gain traction in here.

His offenses at SC were average at best. The only place he coached with success was WKU and it’s quite clear that Brohm ran that offense. We don’t have the first clue as to what Pruitt is thinking

Since mid season even.

Nah the players just came out uninspired and didn’t care

 

[LA Vol]

IMO, this has moved slowly because Pruitt wants to make changes and is exploring options. He's not an offensive guy, so he's probably feeling his way around what he wants and what he thinks will work best. Fulmer encouraged Pruitt to talk to people to get ideas on offensive schemes and improving offensive production. Saban did that, too. It's good advice, and it looks like Pruitt's taking it to heart. I think they meant to move quicker-- just didn't work out that way.

 

[Vol knight]

I honestly am happy that Pruitt isn't rushing the hire. Give me the right hire over a rushed "Dooley type" hire.

 

[revjayp]

Honest question. Have we reached the point of worrying about Pruitt’s ability to hire an offensive staff? When you look at this defensive staff, it’s elite because that’s what he knows. Just curious what y’all think. I’m kinda torn on it as I think it through.

 

[butchna]

That’ll make some people sweat. A defense in the big 12..

Relative great to Pac-12 like at Washington State.

Has the job been listed on craigslist yet?
