Gerad Parker - Troy Head Coach :)

[zbikowski88]

Anyone see anyone creditable talking about possibly upgrading at OC?

Nope

Anyone see anyone creditable talking about possibly upgrading at OC?

I could see a scenario (probably in my dreams) where MF is quietly trying to find a replacement while moving GP back to TEs. If Deland does leave, he could move Gino to RBs since he’s been an RB coach in the past.

Then again, I could also see them run it back with Gino as pass game coordinator and Deland as run game coordinator.

Shrugs.

I don’t think credible people would put that out knowing Notre Dame doesn’t officially have an opening.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

I looked him up. He seems less experienced than Parker.
ND really needs to get someone with a shyte load of experience so that Freeman can hand the offense over to him completely.

Look again.

In 2019 he was the OC at William and Mary. Now he's the UNLV OC and a candidate for open G5 HC jobs and P5 OC jobs four years later. He's runs an offense that is incredibly innovative and successful everywhere he's been. 36 years old and he's moving up the coaching ladder fast. Doesn't just happen. This isn't someone's brother or son who has good ol boy connections either. He knows ball and he's grinding his way up.

Oh, you guys worried about recruiting? He's very good at that too.

Marion would be an excellent hire. Upper deck home run that sails far and beyond Brian Hartline or Tom Herman.

I, for one, always turn to Hawg Country for my heretofore unreported Notre Dame coaching news.

 

[SoIll]

Dudes got a neck tat. Sign him up

 

[NDPhilly]

About to waste my morning watching UNLV highlights arent I

 

[Ophiocordyceps]

I'm waiting for Slap the Sign. They always have credible articles like:

First domino falls for Riley Leonard to Notre Dame football

Riley Leonard as the next Notre Dame football quarterback has had rumblings for a while now and on Sunday, things started moving in that possible direction...

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

My only concern is turning over the scheme to the GoGo Offense means you might have to scrap it and start over when Marion moves on. But that's small potatoes.

 

[SoIll]

Loy doesn't believe there is anything to this

 

[stlnd01]

Maybe Brennan Marion is The Truth, I’ve no idea. He does seem intriguing. But after all the whinging about eXPeRIeNcE!!, I’d chuckle at dumping Parker for someone with even less of it.

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

Well, that was fun while it lasted.

 

[ThePiombino]

imagine seeing GP mentor a young quarterback.

Pretty sure that's what a QB coach is for...

All he has to do is hire a proper OC.

It really is this simple.

Something to note

Dear Lord Baby Jesus

The difference here is other schools actually want to hire this guy. So it's already an improvement.

ISD says zero chance.

If I had to hazard a guess, it would be that it’s the Barry Odom connection. Odom was Arkansas’ DC prior to getting the UNLV HC job

 

[NDMD]

Something to note

This fucking guy is a “reporter” for the Arkansas FanNation blog.

This is some random fan trying to generate clicks and sharing it like it’s real news is literally making everyone dumber.

Zero chance getting Marrion* or zero chance it's not Parker?

Marrion

 

[pumpdog20]

I don't care if it's this Marrion guy, but I am excited that they are looking.

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Marrion seems a bit too....gimmicky? People are claiming he's transforming football and no doubt, it looks like some of his concepts have been adopted as change-of-pace/trick plays across CFB but... by his own words, it's an offense built on up tempo, 90+ plays, rapid movement built to wear out the defense.

The problem is what this does to your own defense, whether the offense is successful or not. I'm not a football coach so someone with experience feel free to explain why this would be a great hire for ND (I realize it's highly unlikely anyway).

 

[arrowryan]

A year from now, Freeman will look like a genius or he dug his own grave. No in between.

 

[NDPhilly]

I still don’t know if I believe everyone is coming back or if Freeman is saying this until he finds someone who is definitely better. He’s all about not throwing anyone under the bus.

 

[ColinKSU]

Ripperino

I would love it if they didn’t. But when do I ever get what I want with this program?

 

[FDNYIrish1]

He never said what role he wants them back in. (Inhales copium)

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

A year from now, Freeman will look like a genius or he dug his own grave. No in between.

If he brings him back, it's going to be a long, long offseason around here...

Alternatively, if he were to find an experienced OC, the excitement in the offseason would be palpable. I can't imagine Freeman is ignorant to the concerns we all have with Porker running the offense next szn with an inexperienced QB.

We all witnessed him digress with the most experienced QB in the nation.

 

[tussin]

Porker is Freeman's boy. He's too nice of a guy to fire his friend which may end up being his downfall.

Hope I am wrong.

If he’s keeping Parker, I don’t think it’d be the craziest thing if the admins had a Head Coaching Hot Board post in the drafts for two seasons from now.
