God bless this thread title. If anyone tries to "fix" it, I will immediately change it back.

Would really like to see someone from the Auburn staff. With our RBs and having EG back it would be deadly!

I think BK will be calling the plays which then leads me to believe he'll just hire from within and at most hire a new position coach. My theory is based on him wanting to call the plays.

Yeah, BK appears to be flirting with the idea of hiring a big-name outside OC, but I've always thought that he will just promote Denbrock and hire a position coach.

Who would be some big name choices for OC?

I wouldn't be opposed to that. Who called plays for him when he was at Cincy and it was a track meet all day long? I'm guessing it was him. If so, what's wrong with that model? I understand it is a different level of competition, but it seems that when you replace our incoming talent vs. Cincy's it would be just as succesful.

Maybe his plate is too full here at ND to call plays and handle everything else he has to handle.....IDK, just thinking outloud.

i'm not worrying about a big name, i'm just worried about having another guy on staff to recruit down the stretch. in theory we're one staff guy short of having a guy on the road recruiting. put's us at a little disadvantage

That's a very good point.

24/7 is reporting BK will interview 3 candidates Monday:

1. Buffalo QB Coach Don Patterson (just hired at UCONN under Diaco too I believe)
2. Buffalo HC Jeff Quinn
3. They are still working to ascertain the identity of the 3rd candidate

I think Quinn would be awesome. Really hope it's him.

Holy shit! I thought Quinn was definitely not an option. That would be AWESOMEEEEE!

If Quinn wants it it'll probably be his with his history with BK....depending on who the mystery 3rd guy is

we just need to get whoever we hire on the road recruiting and in the fold down the stretch

Hopefully we can pay Quinn enough.

I have to think there are all kinds of options right now with the coaching turnover

I wonder what Quinn is making at Buffalo that he would even consider giving up a HC gig for OC...

Also wondering what position group he would coach since he's always coached offensive linemen.
