For all who speculate that TJ is the guy, does his resume fit the job duscription? If not, it's not him. Whoever it is has already been hired in all likelihood.

I don't think TJ is realistic,I was having fun, though I wouldn't be broken up if it was him. But we Need changes. Need an offense that looks somewhat like everyone else is running in FBS. The most discouraging game to me was Stony Brook, we needed an amazing punt return TD to avoid losing to bad FCS team because we were just so inept on offense.

Minimum Qualifications:Bachelor’s degree; minimum of six years of full-time experience as an offensive football coach at the collegiate FBS, FCS or NFL within the past 10 years; working knowledge of the correct application of NCAA regulations; strong commitment to the academic goals of the University; and excellent organizational, teaching, communication and public relations skills.

Preferred Qualifications:Master’s degree; experience as an offensive coordinator or co-coordinator at the collegiate or professional level; playing experience at the collegiate and/or professional level.
Salary is commensurate with experience.

TJ Weist does have a master's degree in exercise physiology from Alabama according to wikipedia. Has offensive coordinator experience at the collegiate level and playing experience at the collegiate level too. Aside from the master's degree anyone that is considered for the job would have all these qualifications.

Not standing pat after that debacle last year on offense is encouraging. There were many reasons for the lack of effectiveness but this program really could use someone who looks like a rising star at the OC slot to get some of the energy back. The fans need something hopeful to get them back in the building.

It's the right call, but we are in for another year of offensive transition... Which terrifies me.
In this case the transition can't hurt, since you're just upsetting a system producing one of the worst offenses in college football.

I'm going to guess it's someone who's worked with in the past, someone he trusts. Just like the coaching staff he's compiled here. Charley Molnar might be a good example, but he did get fired as the UMass head coach. He's from NJ, coached in the northeast, and coached with Bob Diaco at ND and at Cinci in '09.

I think it's pretty clear based on all his other coaching hires that this will be someone he's coached with before. I may be in the minority but I would be really happy with Molnar or Quinn. Both have had successful offenses that earned them head coaching gigs. Quinn was a Broyles award finalist for his work at Cincinnati. Molnar was OC for those great CMU teams with LaFervor at QB. Hopefully whoever it is that gets hired can lure in a few recruiting surprises.

Were they the ones calling the plays too? Serious question.

I'd be happy with either of those guys. Truth be told tho, I'd be happy with anyone that provides an actual vision for the offense. Seems like we couldn't make up our minds on what system to run last year. Pro style, spread, fast and exciting or power downhill running game, don't matter to me as long as we show improvement in the W column

No...I'd be underwhelmed with either of those guys...more so Quinn...Molnar maybe not so much....seemed like he was a guy players liked to play for when he was a coordinator

Molnar's bio.
Other than possibly being available on the cheap as an Idaho assistant, what's so enticing about Charlie Molnar? Did he actually call the O plays at Notre Dame before antagonizing past UMess players and the school's few fans?

I wonder about any offensive coach linked to Brian Kelly at Cincy or ND. I hope the person we pick has experience calling plays. We'll see.

There are so many viable options out there, but here's links to bios of the three names as a follow up to an earlier post I made.
Joe Conlin Yale OC profile - came up under Chip Kelly at UNH, in a year has turned Yale's offense into a top 10 FCS unit, has NE ties
Brian Scott ODU OC profile - all they do is score TD's and crank out yards, has NE ties (Maine grad)
Ryan Carty UNH OC profile - NE ties, track record of coordinating productive offenses, recruits N. NJ and parts of MA.
Also, Jagodzinski is now the Offensive Coordinator at Georgia State, transitioning them from start up to FBS. That guy could coordinate an offense.

I know many want the sexy hire, a name guy form a name FBS/BCS/P5 program, etc, etc.... Me, I'll take a proven record of leading offenses that can move the ball and score points. What's more impressive is more often than not the three teams above are doing it with talent deficits compared to their opponants (from a speed/skill/rating pov), and still cranking yards and points.

If BD takes in TJ, I'd say there is a guy with a real set of balls whose willing to set aside ego and get the right guy to get the job done. I think those two would be a great match.

Well...we heard from a lot of people that he wouldn't have the balls to do anything about Cummings. So he probably doesn't do this, but he isn't just monitoring the situation.
