New OC - throw out some names/statistical anomalies

[IrishLax]

Denbrock would be super competent and close to a "home run" all things considered

 

[PANDFAN]

Charlie Weis jr?

i honestly wouldn't be upset with this

 

[Katzenboyer]

Faulkner is interesting. I would like that.

 

[greyhammer90]

I would be thrilled with Denbrock. Familiarity with ND, good offensive resume, recent experience with SEC and his QB just won the Heisman.

He's a very high floor with a very high ceiling. If Golden is sticking around I'm more interested in the high floor.

 

[IrishLax]

Another first year OC? Cool

Don't think it'll come to fruition, but weirder things have happened.

 

[FU BK]

Denbrock would be a great F U to BK and could be sold to recruits:”Denbrock left LSU for ND”

I like what you did there...lol

 

[EvilleIrish]

Don't think it'll come to fruition, but weirder things have happened.

Hartline is interesting because you know his recruiting will be incredible, but how long would he even be around?

 

[Irish Knuckles]

i think it's Hartline. makes too much sense.

 

[DomerInHappyValley]

The back up QB for San Fran who's also a Madden twitch streamer.

It's an upgrade.

 

[Irish Knuckles]

Hartline is interesting because you know his recruiting will be incredible, but how long would he even be around?

these days, a good oc is prolly gonna be around a couple or so years unless you get a guy who's older. moorhead would be a good choice for stability.

 

[LifelongFan]

Hartline bringing in the offensive talent with what we've already gathered could be too good to fail honestly.

 

[Grahambo]

I’d prefer Denbrock over Hartline. This is not the time to have another first year OC/play caller.

 

[Irish Knuckles]

moorhead would be the perfect choice with leonard at qb.

 

[Kingbish01]

i think it's Hartline. makes too much sense.

I like the list mentioned above, minus Buster. With that said, the relationship between Freeman and BH will make him 100% a candidate and I'm sure MF will make him say NO. Young OC or not, his recruiting chops would balance the scales.

 

[MacIrish75]

Top of the list has to be Lance Harbor...

I heard Bud Kilmer was also available. Not a very outside the box thinker though—prefers his quarterbacks to stick to the basics.

 

[NDQuebec]

Bring back Rees! Or Denbrock! Or Charlie Weis Jr! Honestly, all 3 would be good.

 

[Katzenboyer]

I’d prefer Denbrock over Hartline. This is not the time to have another first year OC/play caller.

Agreed. Nothing I saw from OSU's offense this past season particularly wow'd me, with the exception of some ridiculous plays from MHJr. That LSU offense was a machine.

 

[jprue24]

I mean, Denbrock just developed Jayden Daniels into a Heisman winner and had the #1 overall offense in college football last year, in terms of total yards.

We would be upset with that?

Yes, I would.

Parker had great stats too (top 10 yards per play)

 

[ab2cmiller]

Parker is basically Charley Molnar in this situation. I’d bet money that Freeman told him to look for another opportunity. In the meantime Freeman covered for his buddy. Wouldn’t surprise me if the new OC already has a deal in principle.

 

[FU BK]

I heard Bud Kilmer was also available. Not a very outside the box thinker though—prefers his quarterbacks to stick to the basics.

He'd definitely allow wangers on the glass at the Alano club

 

[thekid33]

Hartline might end up being great. But, with the talent we have returning/coming in the next few years and the playoff expanding to 12 teams I don't think this is the time to be giving the car keys to another first time coordinator. Give me experience.

 

[Luckylucci]

I would be thrilled with Denbrock. Familiarity with ND, good offensive resume, recent experience with SEC and his QB just won the Heisman.

He's a very high floor with a very high ceiling. If Golden is sticking around I'm more interested in the high floor.

As I said in the other thread, he wouldn't be my number #1, maybe partly because I haven't given much thought to who would be. But, I'd be very excited about him developing next years offense.

People also tend to forget that he was very good with WR development during his time at ND. He's just an all around very good coach.

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

Please no to Charlie Weis, Jr. It has nothing to do with him as a person or a coach.

 

[Grahambo]

Yes, I would.

Parker had great stats too.

Denbrock has a long track record of developing talent going back to his first stint with ND. Not saying he’s the best OC in the country but you could certainly do worse.

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

I would just be thrilled with a name that indicates ND is willing to expand beyond the ball control, under center, phone booth football we saw this year.

 

[Katzenboyer]

As I said in the other thread, he wouldn't be my number #1, maybe partly because I haven't given much thought to who would be. But, I'd be very excited about him developing next years offense.

People also tend to forget that he was very good with WR development during his time at ND. He's just an all around very good coach.

He's also 59 years old. I'm not sure he's getting a head coaching job anywhere in the P5, so we could see him here for 4-5 years if he comes back.

Coaches TEs. Had a great offense last year. Previously coached at ND, and previously coached with Freeman. It makes sense.

 

[Katzenboyer]

Yes, I would.

Parker had great stats too (top 10 yards per play)

Difference is Denbrock's offense did it against the best competition last year.

In the loss to Bama, LSU still put up 475 yards. Their lowest output in terms of points was against FSU Week 1, and they still put up 460 against a very good defense.

LSU's offense was incredible last year. I can't believe people would actually have a problem with Denbrock, LOL.

 

[CIrishWin]

Short List

Mike Denbrock
Slade Nagle
David Shaw
Tom Herman

 

[Giddyup]

If Snot Nose Weis jr is hired I quit. Obviously Lane is the offensive guy there. CW jr is the errand boy.

 

[jprue24]

?? We could have done worse than Parker, too. That is weak.

Now that BK is gone, the leadership on th 2016 staff should be a "never again". Denbrock was an integral part of what led to 2016.

No thanks.
