Knowing full well I'm going to get heckled as I should for even mentioning it, someone else will bring this name up eventually:

Kevin Gilbride for OC.

He's in retirement in Rhode Island, and who knows, he might be bored out of his mind, and this is somewhat local to his family.

Coughlin coaching tree with edsall, worked with edsall in the 90s @ Jacksonville, etc.

This is creative and out of the box thinking and worthy of consideration. Certainly has bonafides and credentials. I dont know if he is a passing guy - please educate me.

We don't really know if the defense was a product of Diaco or Dex.

Ok. I guess thats fair. If it wasn't his defense then he should have spoken up and made more of a stand because the defense that we put out there was not good.

I gotta think P'Dexter will not be back. HCRE is a defense guy and will have his own guy in place.

Dan O is not qualified to be an OC but I see him as a QB coach in the not so distant future. Hopefully at UConn. Obviously he and Randy have been communicating quite a bit, both being at Detroit.

Yes, your first job coaching will not be as an OC. But I would not be at all surprised if Dan O was brought in as a QB coach when he's done in Detroit.

DB coach then possibly? Someone with his accomplishments deserves at least an interview.

I also hope he's learned about hiring a DC who can defend the spread and let's him do his thing. My memories are very vivid of Rich Rod making him his b**ch game after game. And with 90% of the teams in this league running the spread hang on if he is the same old Randy.

The best of the WVu teams we couldn't stop, with Pat White, I remind you that no one could stop. Just ask Georgia and Oklahoma.

Oh I know...we also couldn't stop Denard "Shoelace" Robinson and Michigan in Ann Arbor either...the only good experience about that game for me aside form seeing a game there and taking it of my bucket list was tailgating on their golf course. Sitting there in a seat that was about 15" tops and hearing their band play that dumb song over and over again in that 30-10 loss really sucked!

Only way Edsall comes back is as a spectator. Benedict can't afford to alienate most of the fan base that's left.

Sorry you post doesn't make any sense to me at all, but maybe I am missing something. Can you elaborate on your view that Edsall only coming back as a spectator.

Ga won the sec and then gave up 400 yards on the ground to WV

It was 28 to zip at the end of q1

Edsall scores extra points with the fans if he brings in Weist as OC. Either TJ or someone who can run Moorhead's offense.
Expand ...
Does anyone know if Charlie Strong will keep TJ at USF? Seems like he'd bring in his own guys. But he's had a great year at South Florida running their offense. Would be a great hire for Randy to bring come old/new connections together for the fan base.

As for the Diaco era staff- to be honest, I wouldn't keep a single one of them except Matt Balis and his S&C staff.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WOULD EVERYONE PLEASE GIVE UP ON BOTH TJ WEIST (a really bizarre colt obsession here) AND THE BLOCK C (a more reasonable but still bizarre colt obsession here). PLEASE.

It's been a few years...he hopefully has grown a bit. We need to see a game before we can claim SORE (same ole Randy Edsall).

As I have gotten older, one of the thinks I have realized more than anything is if don't evolve you fail. BD didn't learn that...and now he is selling cranberry pants on eBay. (Not that he needs to sell anything).

On top of scheme changes..I also hope he is better with media and fan access. DB is different than JH and won't let RE hide. DB knows that coach engagement with fans and media is critical.

Agree! That was always my big issue with Edsall when he was here, even well before the BCS season. He always was very much disconnected from the fan base and the media. Benedict won't let that happen again, and hopefully we'll see more of Edsall not only in media avails, but also doing more things that connect with the students and fan base. That was one thing Diaco really tried to do.

For the record, I just think the guy has done well this season at USF and has a connection via the PP era to UConn... Would be interesting- that's all. Also, I'm so over the block C and its never coming back. So chill!

I'm expecting Cody Edsall to be named DB coach
Expand ...

Is he a good coach or is it because of family connections? If he is a good coach, ok, but we will need new blood. I want a 100% turnover rate on the coaches and 75% on the players. I'd love to see DO as a QB coach... (or Shane Stafford who is QB coach of the Tampa Bay Storm)

Since they are scheduled to be removed Jan 4/5 - I assume we have people in place then?
 
How quickly this is all coming together, do you think Benedict was out putting together a new coaching staff before firing Diaco and making Edsall official?

Names to be announced 1/5 it sounds like. Likely to be leaked earlier I imagine.

Benedict is not/was not out hiring a coaching staff... Edsall may have had a few more days lead time than is being reported.

So a lot of behind the scenes stuff was happening and no one knew anything about it.

My assumption is that a lot of this was worked out prior to HCRE being announced. I'm guessing DB had some input on his staff in the negotiation process.

This is basically what I was eluding to in one of my previous posts. I thought the same thing.
