Based on the hiring so far, many of the hires were names that weren't being discussed before hand. What if that's the case with offensive coordinator as well? Here are some decent OC's that I haven't seen discussed much. Any thoughts on any of these being a potential target?

Phillip Montgomery - Baylor - Splash and huge Texas recruiting ties

Dave Schramm - Fresno State - Excellent and Nebraska and Texas State experience

Seth Littrell - Indiana - Up and comer with Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Kansas experience

Dan Werner - Ol' Miss - Very experienced and good, no Texas ties but strong Florida and Miami ties

Jimmy Dougherty - San Jose St. Breaking records, coached under Harbaugh, B12 Missouri experience

Rhett Lashlee - Auburn - Auburn's Lincoln Riley. Championship experience. No Texas ties.

James Coley - Florida State now Miami - Splash, but no Texas ties, however strong Florida ties

Not all of these guys have direct ties to Texas, but it seemed like that was a want more than a strict requirement based on hiring. I personally do not think it matters as long as you are winning and taking care of your recruits. So many Texas recruits wouldn't be leaving the state if having strong ties was a requirement to recruit here. Who would you take and who would you exclude and why? Also, who would you add as a candidate who isn't getting attention but could be a great hire.

Thanks

Dave Schramm I talked about him and love him as possible hire, no one seemed interested so I figured they get most football "knowledge" from insiders and espn. Great post.

I hear ya. Kind of amazes me that people don't want to talk about other possible options even when almost every hire starting with Strong himself was not a leading name mentioned in the forums. Thanks for giving your thoughts on Schramm. I also think he would be a home run (as well as a several of the other names I listed as possible fits). Maybe it will be one of the names floating around on the boards, but I personally find discussing the strengths and weaknesses of off the radar candidates interesting.
