I'm stoked about this until Macintyre brings his old QB coach along to Oxford

A sad day for Ole Miss. Longo has been dubbed the "new Saban" by most people familiar with him. Mack has maybe 4 decent years left as a coach - clearly UNC is thinking big picture by hiring Longo as OC. He'll probably be the coach in waiting and take UNC into stellar regions once he's HC.

He's getting up there..I don't mind him much, but if I'm not mistaken he didn't recruit when he was at OM before. There was a waiver to allow an off the field guy recruit for him due to family obligations since his wife passed. Think his child MAY (could be wrong here) have Autism. This is what I remember, but could be wayyyy wrong.

Dan Werner has already expressed interest but sure tell yourself whatever you need to

A good trade IMO. He did well as USM and Oklahoma State. Just jumped to the wrong job while he was a hot name. IDK if he wants to get back in as a HC or go the OC Route first but if I’m Ross Bjork it’s worth the phone call.

Werner would be getting a promotion. Fedora probably wouldn't because of UNC money but either one of those two could have eyes on taking over if Luke gets axed midseason. The defense is more likely to be the pressing issue.

I don’t know why you guys hate Longo so much. His offense was putting up points and he was one of the only bright spots on your staff this season.

Ok.. the one name in that group that isn’t like the others. I should have left him off my post. Yes, he is a “possibility” for Ole Miss. the other two? Lol

That offense was kind of a bully. Lots of points against Texas Tech, ULM, and SIU but once defenses with a pulse showed up it was a very different story.

It would suck to lose Werner after only 1 year.
