Also, Sam Houston State's OC, Phil Longo, has reportedly accepted the OC job.

So HF is serious about never running the ball?

I wonder how many people Freeze had to strike out on before reaching Longo.

McGriff was quite possibly the worst DB coach the Saints ever had

Longo is a pretty innovative hire. They go fast AF at Sam Houston.

McGriff seems pretty meh

Pretty insane leap from FCS OC to SEC OC though.

Longo seems like he's done well on the small stages he's been on. Puts up a ton of points, up tempo, former air-raid guy, but has transitioned to more running this past year.

Will it translate to major football?



McGriff is a terrible hire. Guy oversaw the worst secondary in NFL history and has never guided his own defense. AT BEST he's a total unknown as a coordinator with poor secondary coaching.

I wonder how the Longo hire will affect Cam Akers since Longo runs more air raid.

Pretty sure Akers is either FSU or LSU bound. Ole Miss seems to have faded on that front, even before Longo.

Chip Kelly did it at Oregon
Joe Moorehead to Penn State, though he was a FCS head coach.

He was pretty damn good at Auburn while coaching secondary.

Sanctions must not be that rough if HF is able to convince guys to join his staff.

Way fewer than the number of coordinators who have hauled arse after putting up with Mullen's weird shite for a year or less.

I look at it like the sanctions must be pretty bad if you have to hire a guy from Sam Houston St and a DB coach with no experience as a DC
