Kelvin Shepard (DC for Detroit Lions)
Joe Brady (OC for Buffalo Bills)
Todd Monken (OC for Baltimore Ravens)
Brian Hartline (OC for Ohio State)
Will Stein (OC at Oregon)
Ryan Grubb (OC at Alabama)
Collin Klein (OC at Texas A&M)
Mack Leftwich (OC at Texas Tech)
Buster Faulkner (OC at Georgia Tech)
Glen Schumann (DC at Georgia)
Jesse Minter (DC for LA Chargers)
Eric Morris (Head Coach for North Texas but likely the defacto OC)

Who else?

For reference, here is a link to the national rankings for Total Offense: LINK

Why do people think he wants to coach in CFB? He hated recruiting(AT could do that for him if retained)

Verge said yesterday that he’s looking for a candidate that either is or has had head coaching experience. Went on to say that LSU is a giant entity and the head coach oversees over 140 staff members and over 100 players.

Stein. UGAs D has degraded since Lanning left. Reflag for Schumann.

Hartline or Stein would be my choices. Both have been able to bring insane talent to the offensive side of the ball

Does Ryan Grubb deserve to be mentioned?

Shepard or Harltline…. Shepard if successful we would never leave for any job.

The key is hiring competent recruiters/coordinators/supporting staff. Then consider a Head Coach/Manager who understands the definition of insanity relative to play calls & schemes. BK allowed wash, rinse, fail & repeat with this team all year long.

From Verge:

-Head coaching experience preferred but not required


They may call/interview a couple but seems like a long shot outside of Shepard/Brady

It’s almost 100% dependent on who we hire as HC. Unless it’s Frank.

I’m not convinced Hartline is a good coach. He’s a great recruiter, especially the WR pipeline he’s established.

His first season as OC in 2023 resulted in Ryan Day convincing Chip Kelly to leave UCLA to takeover as OC last season.

In addition to Hartline as the OC this season, Ohio State has a Co-OC, plus two or three former offensive coordinators on their staff, and that’s not including Ryan Day.

Hartline has the title of Offensive Coordinator, but Ryan Day has built an experienced staff around him.

Carl, I clarified my question...it was about what coordinators might we consider for head coach?
