Why not Phil Longo?

I wouldn’t be against, way better choice and fit than Harrell! I’d still prefer Lebby and honestly wouldn’t be totally upset over Calloway. I’d like to see some continuity of what our O did the last couple games with Max.

He has done well with talent

Think they are very balanced
284pass/177 rush

Don't know if he would leave carolina. He has howell coming back

How many are on the list lester?

And is in a mix of NFL and college CD?

Based on???? His offenses with the exception of this year have been more pass heavy than GH. Give me a reason why he is better please.

Harrell’s run game was dead last in the PAC12 this year. I’ve gone and watched interviews with him and he never even mentions the run game. We can’t compete with that style in SEC, Leach proves that!

Not a fan of harrell either.

Seems like they are going after name more than substance

Longo would be more of a qb coach than oc on this staff

Ask why Ole Miss fans were glad to get rid of him.

He didn’t perform well against top SEC competition, which is why most of their fan base was just fine with him leaving for another job. Longo runs a simple offense very fast, which doesn’t work as well against a top defense. And if you didn’t care for all of the sideline Go routes from E’s 2018 offense, then you really won’t like Longo. That’s his go-to.

He doesn’t face many elite defenses in the ACC, hence the gaudy numbers. However, anyone who has slowed their run game down has caused them major problems. As for the rushing numbers this year, they look great, but that was not a big feature of Longo’s offenses before UNC. You can bet that is at least partly because of Mack Brown.

We have a few better candidates on our wish list. Look beyond the big numbers be shite teams and Longo doesn’t belong on it.

USC’s running backs are pretty slow, at the same time they have Slovis and St. Brown at receiver so it’s pretty obvious why they leaned on the passing game

Longo had elite talent as well and still couldn’t do anything against a decent defense. AJ Brown, DK Metcalf, Jordan Ta’amu, Jordan Wilkins, Demarkus Lodge, Dawson Knox, Jordan Patterson, Greg Little... Dawson Knox had more touchdowns as a rookie than he did his entire ole Miss career

so going back and looking at stats, what game(s) are you referencing that Phil Longo couldnt do anything on offense?

His stats are pretty damn impressive at UNC. Not so much at Ole Miss atleast not vs ranked teams.


vs #2 ND this year
pts:17
total- 298
passing- 211
rushing- 87

vs Miami
pts-62
total-778
passing- 224
rushing- 554


vs VT
pts-56
total-656
passing- 257
rushing- 399



vs NC State
pts- 48
total- 578
passing- 252
rushing- 326


thats all the ranked teams they played this year

BTW here is an article on Phil Longo's offense

Notice a trend? Can't score enough on the better teams in the league. He will light up ULM and Vandy though

thats what it looks like when you deep dive the numbers. Seems to be better at USC though.
