I read that thread, I won't believe any Caleb Williams news until I see something substantive. He's going to USC until further notice. Didn't he already shoot a commitment video?

Jimmy Sexton really earns every dollar his clients give
.All accounts are that Jason Candle will be Miami’s new OC, but this guy used it as an opportunity to flex Kendall a raise. Salute

Person who broke it is the guy who posted the stuff about Darnell Washington and his HS coach

He also recently mentioned Darnell is still finishing classes at UGA. Someone else chimed in that his grades are a mess?

...no.
If this is the best they can do, everything you heard about Miami being ready to commit and spend big to win is a sham.

Lol how so? A G5 head coach with a history of developing good offenses being hired as an OC. He’s making $1.2 mill right now and won a MAC title at Toledo, plus beat ranked teams. Genuinely curious how this wouldn’t be Miami being serious. Briles was the backup option here....no.

I mean - if we’re excited about a guy that’s had one, maybe two really good offenses the last 5 ears from the MAC, I guess? Maybe I’m misreading the rankingsN41D would you like an opportunity for rebuttal?

posted above.Two of the last three years when he’s finally at a point that he’s turned the program over with strictly his guys and two offensive groups were terrible?
Just feels like a low bar to clear.
I’d rather have Kendal Briles and i don’t think it would even be close for me, honestly.

But are we talking about him having to run your program as a HC or walking into a team with a talented QB and skill position players? I don’t really care about the having strictly his guys, he won’t have a shortage of talent on offense as long as Mario is the HC. It’s not like recruits are flocking to Toledo either.
And if the Briles thing is your stance… we can look at his time at FSU by comparison. There’s few candidates without any “warts”.

Recruits aren’t flocking to the MAC in general - but I’d expect a guy that’s an offensive guy to be able to field offenses better than bottom quarter of America after running a program for 5 or 6 years.

Ranking college football national champions since 2000: Where do 2021 Georgia Bulldogs land?
Georgia broke through Monday night for its first national title since 1980. But how do these Bulldogs stack up against recent champions?

I guess I just don’t get how you can discount the years of good/great offenses though. There’s a hell of a lot more good/really good on there than anything else

I just look at the metrics you’ve posted and see a guy that kind of peaked with Campbell, had a great year in Year 1 and has - at best - gradually taken a couple of steps backward since.I guess I just don’t get how you can discount the years of good/great offenses though.

Is that an issue of being a head coach and just not being able to manage all of it? Or was Campbell more involved when he was the head guy and maybe is where we should attribute more of the offensive progression given the fall off since?
Iowa State is consistently in the Top 20 nationally of almost all the efficiency metrics despite being behind par recruiting/talent wise relative to their conference mates.
Maybe it’s me - but if I’m spending nearly $2m on a OC, I’d rather he not be a mid-major guy that’s never coached outside of Toledo and has been outside the top 50 offenses in the country as a playcaller about as often as not over the last decade.

But how do we explain them having their best year by far the year after Campbell left? If Campbell was more involved when he was the head guy and was more responsible for the success, then having his Top 3 years AFTER Campbell left would seem counterintuitive to that. And after the “step back” he bounced back to 28 the following year. I agree that there’s been some fall off towards the end, but seems like there are murmurs that he’s been ready to get out too. Him and Mario share the same agent, apparently.
Also, he’s a 45-27 head coach.. which isn’t Shabby. I remember them battling P5s pretty well in the times that I’ve seen them, but admittedly not frequently watching MACtion.
Taking a G5 HC who had seemingly been listed when most low/mid-tier P5 jobs open up over the last 5 or so years and making him your OC when he’s got this resume seems like a pretty good deal to me. We’ll see how it plays out, though.

Not a fan of how the coordinator hires have been dragged out like this, more concerned about the DC.
