New OC - throw out some names/statistical anomalies

[Irish4life]

Sorry if already talked about, but after listening to the Irish Illustrated podcast today, it sounds like NDs top 2 targets at this stage are Denbrock and Kirby Moore

 

[Giddyup]

I want Paul Chryst. Make it happen

Brice mentioned Kevin Johns

He did date a porn star though!

Justin Brent for an analyst position. Think of the recruiting advantage we could gain if Lisa Marie brought some co workers to campus

We need some new blood in the room. Lisa Marie has to be doing gilf porn at this point.

I’d be good with this. He’s worked with DMC before too.

I'm sure she has some younger ones she knows. Hell maybe there are some younger fellas that have a lifelong ambition to play for ND and have gilfs show them a good time

Kirby Moore. Make it happen.

 

[Ndaccountant]

Will never happen, but Brennan Carroll would be a good hire IMO.

 

[Pennick44]

Loy is going to bat for Denbrock. Feel like Freeman has him in his crosshairs. If ND poaches Denbrock it is a sign that they aren't fucking around anymore because it's going to get expen$ive.

Pretty sure LSU won't repay the favor to ND by waiving Denbrock's buyout clause like ND did for Kelly.

There is some scuttlebutt that Denbrock hasn't signed his new deal yet.

 

[Pennick44]

I can't envision a scenario where Denbrock would leave BK to go to ND for another stint.

I also can't envision a scenario where Moorehead isn't the first option, especially with Leonard and Minchey in your QB room.

He loves ND and always has.

 

[Pennick44]

If Denbrock is really working on an extension with LSU because TAMU came knocking, it's hard to rationalize how ND lands him without paying him a lot of money. Like ND would have to make him one of the highest paid OC in the country.

They can't afford another Ludwig situation if MF wants Denbrock to be his OC. They will pay him.

 

[NDPhilly]

Freeman was a homerum hire at DC and ND paid top dollar for him at the time in order to beat out LSU. Not like we havent spent big coordinator money before.

 

[IHateMarkMay]

They can't afford another Ludwig situation if MF wants Denbrock to be his OC. They will pay him.

Denbrock at least wouldn't need the tour of campus.

 

[NDWarrior]

Will never happen, but Brennan Carroll would be a good hire IMO.

Yes, I still like Carroll, Slade Nagle, Mack Leftowich (Texas State), CW Jr., (but yes, none likely to be targeted) in addition to Kirby Moore.

 

[sfk324]

There is some scuttlebutt that Denbrock hasn't signed his new deal yet.

Zero reason to think Freeman hadn't reached out BTS to say "hey, look, I can't offer you the job because it isn't open...but there's a greater than zero chance the job will be open soon. So just thought I'd touch base, let you know so you can mull that over if it's something you'd be open to."

Even if he's not interested, Denbrock would be dumb to sign the extension if he had that knowledge in his pocket.

Did Kellen get fired by the Chargers too? He can be an analyst lol

Avoid hockey games at all costs.

He = Denbrock or Moorhead?

 

[stlnd01]

Good arguments for Denbrock are that he'd probably stick around awhile (unlike Kirby Moore who'd probably be looking for a HC job within 18 months), and he has a ton of experience. (Also unlike Moore who's spent one - very good - year at a P5 program).
I do not imagine he is the most dynamic recruiter, but MF seems to put a lot of recruiting on the assistants and on himself (as opposed to coordinators), which is fine.
And his position coaching background includes a lot of time coaching TEs (at Cincy, no less). He's not going to displace Gino, or anyone else currently on staff. (Not that Gino is a "keep at all costs" level assistant but given he's been the guy recruiting Leonard, Carr and Deuce, some continuity at QB coach wouldn't be bad).
As for money, we can't afford to let that be an issue. If he's the sort of guy Freeman wants. I guess that last part is the question. Do you want an old head, or the best young OC on the market?

 

[thekid33]

Hopefully everyone learned their lesson from last year.

No hockey games (or basketball).

Operate in the shadows and no leaks until it's a done deal.

And get the most recent contract

Denbrock is an excellent recruiter

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Riley at Clemson gets $2.05M. Grubb gets $2M. Rees is $1.9M, Ludwig is around $1.85M.

If Denbrock turned down TAMU and was/is negotiating with LSU on an extension after Daniels just winning a Heisman, this is going to cost Russian Oligarch with a concussion snorting mountains of cocaine kind of money.

Even better then.

His current salary is $1.4M, according to this site: See contract details for LSU offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock and QB coach Joe Sloan

I could see the Irish improving on that, but if he's simply going to go to the highest number (which I don't think he will, from all reports), it won't be ND.

[Rocketman84]

I’d love someone from the Dolphins. The TE coach Jon Embree was Colorado HC for a couple of years. I doubt he’d run McDaniel’s offense, though.

We certainly have the backfield for it
