Oh it can always get worse. Or it can add another year to the rebuild which might not fly. This OC hire is pivotal imo

Nope we are at event horizon. Rock bottom. Our offense couldnt get worse if you were the OC. Time to think outside the box and go for broke imo.

I can confirm that we have spoken with Sark and Chaney off the record a few times...but they wouldn’t be considered official interviews per se. There were some discussions with multiple candidates today which is why I made the comment that things have picked up recently.

The eggs were in the Okie OC basket and that thing sprung a leak late unfortunately for us. It is just another run of bad luck for us but we move on. This search has been well run and very coordinated and only reason it seems stuck now is we felt we had it wrapped up and when it fell apart we were maybe not as prepared as we should have been for the wheels to fall off when they did.

Happy New Year to everyone!

Losing the OK state OC wasn’t bad luck. It was poor execution.

IF! Thats the thing. He is a complete unknown so is it worth the risk?

Honestly, I think almost everyone we've talked about are unknowns.
Yurcich - given his style vs our players and recruits.

Briles - ditto

Sark- here vs USC, where he had one of, if not the most talented rosters in that division.

The only proven SEC names have been Freeze and Chaney. There is an extremely high chance of unknowns coming our way and I'm ok with that.

Taking known "on par" play callers while having less talent than our rivals, doesn't excite me. At least unknowns have the possibility of excellence.

Diaz had a job, took a new job, quit a job, and took another job. Then fired the whole offensive staff and has now hired a new OC.

Yet, here we are...

That sounds like way more of a cluster than us being patient with our hire but that's just my opinion. There's no evidence that we've been turned down by a bunch of candidates. The only one even rumored to have turned us down is yurcich.

I'd like to think we'd learn our lesson regarding OSU but apparently we are indeed that niave and stupid.

It is what it is at this point. We’ve been turned down once, ok I can dig it. But how many other guys have we missed out on because we thought we had him wrapped up?

There has not been one other candidate that we missed out on that I would be upset about. The only good one were Briles and freeze and I think their baggage prevented them either way.

Briles was the guy I was hoping for. FSU took him and I haven’t heard a pep about baggage. Just saying...
