New OC - throw out some names/statistical anomalies

[Jiggafini19Deux]

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.

He already turned down more than $2.05M from TAMU or so we're led to believe.

If he really wanted to come back to ND and or the Midwest, they can absolutely make this happen.

Don’t feel like reading through ten pages. Are there any names being reported or is everything speculation?

 

[Rocketman84]

Come on, dude. He's going to be interviewing for NFL HC jobs. He's been in the NFL for 14 years.

Possibly

 

[Pennick44]

He = Denbrock or Moorhead?

Denbrock

Speculation

That's the speculation. He wants to be back in South Bend and the Irish want to make it happen.

I hope it does.

Mostly speculation.... Denbrock is the popular name right now

 

[FWIrish4]

Faulkner turned around a Georgia Tech offense that was quite bad and made it very solid. Also massively improved Haynes King and turned him into a good dual threat QB. I don't think he'd be my top candidate, but if he winds up being the guy I think ND is in a very good place.

There was more complexity for the defense to defend in that one play than we ran all year 😍

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Possibly

There is no possibly. He's highly regarded among NFL players for his relationship building and among front offices for his building of offensive lines and run games.

It's an absolute certainty that he's going to get NFL HC interviews along with an absolute certainty that him going from Dolphins OC to Notre Dame OC is 100% fantasy.

Same. The fact he said no to TAMU, hasn't finalized with LSU, has connections to Freeman at UC and Freeman has an external guy in mind gives me hope.

 

[IrishLax]

It won’t be a money issue for Denbrock. There are donors that will cut that check just to screw with BK. I can tell you for a fact that Rees got $$$ in no small part because retaining him also meant he didn’t go with Kelly. Kelly thought both Rees and Freeman were gonna come with him.

What do you mean by that? Is he in negotiations to extend his contract? Isn't he only in his 2nd year at LSU??

There's some reports that he has agreed to a LSU contract extension in principle, but hasn't actually signed the contract yet.

 

[Rocketman84]

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

A couple years of 5* talent at WR and some speed....Too good to be true

Idk how much weight I can put into your claims because not once today have you threatened to sodomize me for not believing you.

 

[DillonHall]

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.

John Brice said even Parker got $1M+. Surely ND would be willing to pay Denbrock $2-2.5M

Good insight

He was A&M / Elko’s first choice for OC. LSU was able to fend Aggy off and Denbrock and LSU are finalizing a new 3-year deal. I’m not sure if it has been executed yet.

Money should never be an issue as far as the coaching staff. ND doesn't need to build lazy rivers in the Gug but dollars and cents should not hinder the head coach when it comes to assembling the best coaching staff possible.

Assembling the best anything for that matter

 

[IRISHDODGER]

He loves ND and always has.

So does Urban Meyer

 

[Pennick44]

So does Urban Meyer

Urban loves himself and will never coach again at ND. Denbrock will likely be the next OC.

It's highly unlikely that Denbrock has actually signed his extension this soon. No respectable agent would let him do that, because you never know what craziness comes down the pipe during this time of year.

I think ND is in a better spot to nab Denbrock from LSU than A&M was. Sure, money is important, but I think Denbrock wants to be in the midwest. He's a midwest guy and he really likes ND. He's spent more time here than any other school and he's pushing 60. And yeah, I can definitely see ND ponying up the money for this, because A) they don't want this to be another public embarrassment like the Ludwig fiasco was, and B) Because f*ck Kelly.

 

[NDFAN2008]

Garett Riley and Longo are probally two guys on the list

Who are you and what do you know Pennick? 🤔

 

[Sea Turtle]

How would you guys feel about a guy who is already familiar with the roster and just happened to be the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys?

Because the only thing A&M can offer is money. They have lots of it, but really that's all they've got. Notre Dame has a lot to offer, and Denbrock, better than most, knows that firsthand. He also knows Freeman from Cincy, and probably knows that LSU doesn't have another Jayden Daniels running out the tunnel next year.
If we can pay a competitive salary (and I agree we can/should) than it's really a question of A: Does Freeman want Denbrock? And B: Can Denbrock say no to Kelly. That's it.

Let the click-bait posts begin! This is reasonable tho' and pretty much is everyone mentioned here so far from the top (Denbrock) on down (promoting GG)
