Day might be the key to the offense anyway. I'm certainly not in the position to tell.

I like last sentence: "Narduzzi appears to have options, whether that be staying at Michigan State or exploring future Big Ten openings."

Possibly referring to UConn as a future Big Ten opening?

I like your optimism.
 
New coach will make the call on who is on his staff, but any coach who doesn't interview the current staff is an idiot I don't want.

TJ is more attack attractive as an OC than HC. If the new coach runs a similar scheme and doesn't have his own guy, the TJ has a shot.

I won't sweat the outcome, TJ has proven himself hireable as an assistant or lower level HC. He'll have plenty of options.

What if he decides that he wants to run a 2 tight end offense that emphasizes running the ball, and short, quick passes to the tight ends and receivers? A west coast style? I don't think there would be anything wrong with that. (except for the fact we need to find two tight ends, and a running game, lol).

We just went through 2 1/2 years of hell with two coaches who tried to mold the talent to their system instead of the other way around. Why Narduzzi would want to abandon concepts that are clearly beginning to work? Besides, he hasn't coached offense in 20 years.

Does Narduzzi have any relationship with Coach Weist? If not, why in the world would he keep him on as the OC? He is going to want to go with someone he is comfortable with.

He is a DC. There are probably only a handful of O Coordi ators he even knows personally. If TJ wants to stay, he would get a interview with the new coach. If they hit it off, then the new coach would likely see the benefit of having ofensive continuity starting his new job.

Honest question because I have zero idea what the answer is. But is there an example of a new head coach coming into a program and keeping the offensive coordinator on staff?

No way this happens. If a new head coach comes in, they don't retain the old head coach. I would think it would be a distraction having the guy you replaced on your staff. I could hear some players now, "That's not the way coach Weist did it".

Maybe a distraction for about a day, or until the coaches including (hypothetically) TJ explain the situation and remind them they're here to play football and to win.

In all seriousness though... What B1G jobs are open/in consideration for Narduzzi??

A similar situation at Ohio State but on other side of ball...Urban Meyer retained then interim HC Luke Fickell who is the current Ohio State D.C./Linebackers/recruiting. Fickell had interviewed for the H.C. position. (Sound familiar)
 
Agree keeping TJ on and i hope it occurs but I give this less than like 10 percent chance.

Not sure what the retention rate is for position coaches but I think we need to keep John Wholley. Sio and smallwood speak highly of him and linebackers have always been a strength for us.

Not sure what else Manuel could be expected to say publicly. Seems like if he's going with Narduzzi Narduzzi would not be doing his due dilgence by getting a sense of having TJ as the OC would work.

Remember, if TJ doesn't get the head coaching gig here there are few places where he can make as much or more money than he can here.

Say what? Many schools pay coordinators $750K-$1mil +

very, very, very few coordinators in that range. Don't think TJ can make jump to that level if he goes elsewhere

Les Miles kept Jimbo Fisher for 2 years before Jimbo left to go to FSU.
