Next ND Offensive Coordinator - the search

[Irish14]

He says that Klein wasn't ever offered the job, that both sides agreed it wasn't an "ideal fit".

I'd love to know what the staff views as an "ideal fit" is if we're interviewing Tee Martin

 

[EvilleIrish]

This was always the risk with a first time head coach.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Tee Martin has been a lifelong WR focused guy, right? Including coaching up his son Amari Rodgers?

Obviously, he was a QB - but can he coach it?

Hilarious!

 

[Giddyup]

Trust the process

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Loy also just said Tee is "highly unlikely"....

He believes it's a major upgrade over Rees.

Don't think we are, pretty sure Loy was just spit balling. We might be looking at someone from the Ravens offensive staff though maybe.

Greg Roman?

It's amazing that the OC position at ND is not a coveted one. Good O'line, RB's, QB's and a national brand. What more could you ask for? Something is fishy.

It's amazing that the OC position at Alabama is not a coveted one. Good O'line, RB's, QB's and a national brand. What more could you ask for? Something is fishy.

See how this sounds? Alabama was looking for a while. There was posts on Lebby being courted by Alabama back shortly after the national championship game.

It's been exactly 7 days. I'd bet we have a definitive answer by day 14. People need to step off the ledge. This is totally normal.

I agree with this. Especially with a first-time head coach that was on the defensive side of the ball.

I don't recall Alabama not hiring a very good and experienced OC. Check their former hires.

Loy throwing around Tee Martin....

He meant Tee Shepard

 

[EvilleIrish]

On a side note...247 is completely useless at this point. Probably need to cancel the subscription.

They hired Tommy Rees.

I would trust IE posters before any CFL hires.

Cross me off. I threw away my peewee FB playbook a long time ago.

 

[Dale]

and there is the KSU marketing push

OK, everyone go long and stand in the end zone

Dude you are completely useless right now. Go touch grass or maybe a vagina or a cock whatever you are into but step away.

Now we have reports that he was offered and reports he wasn't offered. That should make you pause and wait for something that comes from the mouth of MF.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Spit balling here -
But when I hear "fit" issues - I'm thinking it' not about Xs and Os. I think it's probably OCs not agreeing with NDs NIL approach. It's going to take a special coach who's fine with it.

“ He says that Klein wasn't ever offered the job, that both sides agreed it wasn't an "ideal fit".”

Sounds like damage control. Not gonna fly in the kid if his tape didn’t “fit”.

You sure? Could be Klein had some unrealistic requirements that MF wouldn't agree to. Recruiting requirements, money or possibly wanting to bring his own guys with him.

Bama had to turn to their 4-5th choice for OC. Miami still hasn't been able to hire the OC.

Let's step back from the ledge, fellas.

You seriously think Freeman is gonna comment publicly on Klein?

 

[notredomer23]

I saw some posters had concerns over Klein’s religion anyway. He apparently never kissed a girl until the day he was married.

That’s one more girl than some of you.

Doesn't make sense because Klein is at KSU, where NIL is non-existent.

It's more than likely Klein wanted to bring his own guys. If he wants to bring guys in for roles currently held by Harry, Chansi and Deland, that would be a deal breaker.

Bold of you to think this dude could get laid

Graham Harrell!

Wow, that was a lot to get caught up on from my last post, last night, to now.

Edit: I was really coming around to the Klein hire. High risk/high reward as someone stated before. I felt like that was a risk that Freeman was comfortable with and I was ready to roll with it. A little let down by the news he won't be coming. But, there seems to be a lot of really good candidates out there so let's see what he's got.
