re: List Of Potential OC and DC

He's going to have to keep or bring in guys with recruiting ties to the South. Keeping Daronte Jones helps accomplish that somewhat since he's been on the trail for a year. OC should be interesting, Kelly seems to like a more multiple offense but all the Southern guys are running spread these days.

Might as well strike Rees and Freeman off the list. They are staying at ND

OC
1) J. Lebby- Ole Miss
2) K. Briles- Arkansas

DC
1) D. Lanning- Georgia
2) J. Knowles- OK State

I mean if we have a wish list, this would knock it out of the park!

What no Venables for DC?

Don’t think he’s leaving ND, you can scratch him off the list and there are better OC’s than him.

Didn’t realize that Mark Whipple coached in the USFL. Not many coaches can say that, but not sure how much cred that gives him with the young men he’d recruit and coach. LINK

Why would Briles leave Arky right now. He has KJ Jefferson returning at QB and I assume a better O-line (year 3 of pittman). He's gonna ride that dude to a HC job after next year. LSU QB's suck and can in no way run a Briles offense. Also isn't Kelly know to be an a-hole to his coordinators, which is why he was always hiring new ones every year and none came with him to LSU.

Kendall Briles would be a great get!

Not sure why his name keeps coming up. I think he is benefiting from a bunch of 6th year seniors.

Up until this year, he defenses have been pretty average.

The durkin and Kelly jokes would write themselves
