No... they have two coaches that were OCs last year and we are going get a third? Don't see it.

Would be awesome though, with that much experience they breakdown defenses lile no other.

If it provides excitement, I don't see why not. Can't hurt since we'll know either way in an hour and a half.

Olson is a legit reporter.

Not a blogger or owner/promoter of a pay site.

But, for the record, I am more than OK with him getting this part wrong.

I sure hope it is true!

Download the LHN app for your smart phone; you can watch it anywhere (almost)!

Do you have to be signed up with one of the cable companies that carry LHN? Can't get LHN in my area, downloaded the app and when I tried to watch it asked who my cable provider is.

who reported this? I dont see a thread

 

[Juan]

LHN still has said nothing about the presser.

Neither twitter nor the site.

I think it's just wishful thinking at this point.

Koenning is now listed in the UT directory. The only reported staff member that I can't find is Shawn Watson...though there is a Steven S Watson listed. Don't want to get anybodies hopes up, could be that they are waiting to see if Watson gets an NFL gig before adding him.

If you know someone who has access they could provide you with their username and password. Other than that the app won't work.

Chambers hangs on.

Watson QB and a slightly odd second title "assistant head coach for offense"

Wickline as OC + OL

 

[Topstarr]

The end is here for all. My Goodness what a TRIP this has been.

 

[Juan]

It looks like Wickline will actually be calling the plays?

And I guess Watson down on the field helping the QBs?

Perhaps LK in the booth.

Just guessing....
