There's still some elements of it in his current offense, just spread out and a lot faster. He wanted to run the same offense at USF but it wasn't working and he was pretty close to getting fired. He adapted on the fly to something kinda similar to what they're doing now, saved the season, and it really took off this year after they had an offseason to perfect it.

Speaking of Jeff Brohm, is he looking to move somewhere else or is he just kind of parked there til something happens to Bobby Petrino?

I want to believe someone in the SEC jumps at him in a year after realizing that just hiring all the Saban assistants hasn't actually beaten Saban, but if the guy wants the U of L job, he could be waiting a while since Petrino's probably not winning the ACC next year either with FSU bringing back what they do. I could see Brohm landing somewhere like Tennessee or maybe Ole Miss if they get tired of Freeze since those teams will live and die by the success of the offense.

I've seen his name here and there but he hasn't been coaching very long so he might be better off waiting a year or two. It seems like he's behind Fleck in the current mid major pecking order so he may not make a move until Fleck does. Personally I'd much rather have him than Fleck. He'd be a great hire at Purdue and as much as everyone shits on Purdue, that's a huge step up from CUSA and he'd probably take it. There are only so many P5 jobs. He'd be a good fit at Houston too but he doesn't have any Texas experience so I dunno if they'd go for him

Lipstick Apathy
There has been a lot of speculation about Auburn's OC Rhet Lashlee leaving to take a HC job. Rumors are he is in the running for Georgia Southern and Florida Atlantic. He is also the main recruiter for most of Auburn's QB targets and apparently told former Baylor QB Stidham that GS has not contacted him.

I think he deserves a shot at a smaller school and he probably needs to prove he can get it done without Malzahn. I really don't want him to leave this year though because Auburn will probably hire Kendal Briles to replace him.

I haven't heard Kiffin getting looked at, but Les very much is.

The other guys getting a serious look are Lincoln Riley (naturally), Neal Brown at Troy, and Blake Anderson at Arkansas State. All three are in the Mike Leach tree so it's not hard to figure out who Texas Tech will call when Kliff becomes cheap enough to can.

Was Les Miles a particularly good recruiter at Okie Lite? How much of his talent accumulation at LSU was him being a great recruiter and how much of it was having having the most talent-rich state (per capita) basically all to himself? I don't like the idea of splitting the Texas recruiting pie any more that we already are, but I'd be curious to see what Les Miles would do at a place like Houston. Would he finally come to terms with playing offense, or would he try to make a mini-LSU team out Houston's recruiting pool? Could he get Texas players to play defense?

He got players from Texas playing defense at LSU, so I think so. If he goes to Houston, that will hurt Tulane (and every other non-LSU school in LA.) I imagine Houston would do well enough recruiting from LA and TX.

Riley is a Leach tree, but Neal Brown is a Tony Franklin tree and Blake Anderson is a Larry Fedora guy with no connection to the traditional Air Raid trees.

I expected this the whole time (the quote feature erased what I was actually trying to quote, I meant about the Mike MacIntyre part). What would really be awesome is if he managed to hold onto Jim Leavitt as well. Do whatever it takes! Maybe name him co-head coach or something. I mean, we have co-offensive coordinators and that worked out ok, so why not :haw:

Do you mean GA State? Southern just hired a new coach last year, though I think it was a pretty bad hire. They need to go back to the triple option, their offense was a mess this season. I've been pimping the Navy OC a lot but the dude at New Mexico would be good too. The triple option pistol deal they're doing is super fun and has been running all over people this year.

Ken just hired a new agent so some people think he might be getting ready to look around. He's also held back by the option thing. It's viewed as gimmicky and the transition to and especially away from it can be a huge pain. GT has done pretty dang well with it all things considered though.

Taggart .... Then he went to USF where they went 3-9 in their last year with Skip Holtz. In two years he had them in a bowl game, and the next year he set a school record for wins.

Guy has a great reputation, runs a really entertaining offense and has been successful wherever he goes, which is awful because I'd be forced to hope he fails if he ends up a Duck.

UCF went winless last year in a total clusterfuck, and will go bowling this year. Admittedly they're about the 60th best school in FBS, and have been for much of the last decade or so.

Frost has similar credentials at turning around a program in shambles. But, selfishly, I'd rather he stay another two or three years and see if UCF can can nab the G5 bid.

I do TV work with one of Calhoun's roommates from college. He's interviewed for a couple Power 5 jobs, and was a finalist for Tennessee, but they passed him up for Derek loving Dooley and he apparently told them to gently caress off forever over that. He came really close to an ACC job a few years ago too.

I haven't talked to the guy in a month or so, but I think I still have his email, I should find out what he's upto. I'd love to see us go after him if Holgo's left (I think it's pretty much a done deal Dana is going to be staying here.)

Calhoun's interesting because he runs the Triple Option, but his coaching tree is pretty broad and he has NFL Offensive experience, so he wouldn't run the Triple Option somewhere else. He runs it at AF because thats the talent they get.

I think with Calhoun and Niumatalolo it's not that they won't leave the service academies to take a job at a bigger school. But, that if they were willing to take a poo poo job like Purdue, they probably already would have done it. I thought Troy was gone when Tennessee came calling a few years back, he was the best candidate, and that was an opportunity to good to pass up. You can pass up a poor to middling Power 5 school though. I am really surprised that Baylor hasn't come sniffing around Calhoun though. He would give them an image makeover, and Air Force pretty heavily recruits Texas, so he's familiar with the area.

Service academies are their own thing. SDSU would be better if the Chargers were to build a new stadium right next door to Qualcomm they could use. I'm trying to think of other programs that have sustained success over multiple coaches and tend to produce coaches that get hired up after 2-3 years. There aren't really any schools where success is guaranteed, you still have to be a good coach for each stop.
