OC Candidates

[thk23]

I think we can all tell now that what we wish for is not gonna be what we get all the time. Who is possibly an OC candidate? Morris? Herman? Frost?

 

[mesoHorny]

Are there any Malzahn deciples out there. I really the like the spread guys that run a lot like Meyer and Malzahn. I'm not a huge fan of the 70% pass teams.

 

[thk23]

I honestly don't know if Malzahn has any deciples yet. He's barely been a HC and wasn't an OC in college for that long before I believe

Agree we dont need to pass 70%. We need to be 50/50 but run from the shotgun/piston, with spread concepts while running a little bit of an I formation and have a FB/smaller OG to run a few short yardage/goal line formation. We need to be versatile but run a base spread concept bc that is what Texas HS does best. We need a OC and assistants that are conducive to this.

Herman and Frost would be 2 guys that would do very well here. Morris would also, but there are ?s about if he would come and his buyout is very high, maybe more than Strong.

Stretch your imaginstion with some points in this... This is why I entertained the idea of going full rogue and hiring Morris as a coach. Just as one idea in hire. But maybe as an OC in this setup... could be interesting. I like some of the sets in the Clemson - Ohio State game.

Meet Chad Morris, the Hottest Head Coaching Candidate in College Football

BY SANJAY KIRPALANI (FEATURED COLUMNIST) ON NOVEMBER 27, 2013

...Morris detailed to ESPN’s Ivan Maisel on ESPNU’s College Football podcast (around 21:00 mark) last month, he had either played for or won a state title in four of the previous five seasons using an offense that relied on I-formation and shotgun concepts. He heard of Malzahn through a friend of a friend, and then convinced his school’s booster club to pay for him and his offensive staff to fly to see Malzhan’s team in action in a playoff game.
But Malzahn resisted meeting with Morris until he pulled off the same trick a week later and finally earned the trust and respect of a man who has become one of his biggest coaching influences.

As Chris Vannini of coachingsearch.com notes, Malzahn didn’t give Morris a copy of his playbook. Instead, he shared ideas with Morris on how to adapt and adjust to what defenses were doing at the time.

“I was a little leery to be honest with you, at first,†Malzahn told Bleacher Report recently. “But we developed a relationship, and he brought his staff up to Springdale (Arkansas). From then on, we just started sharing ideas. We think a lot alike.â€

Since that meeting with Malzahn, Morris’ teams have compiled a record of 116-16—including a minimum of 10 wins in all four seasons (one at Tulsa and the last three at Clemson) on the college level.

With Clemson 10-1 and ranked No. 6 heading into Saturday's season finale at No. 10 South Carolina, the Tigers have crossed the 10-win plateau for the third consecutive season, which has happened only once in school history.

Let’s be clear: Morris didn’t just steal Malzahn’s offense and put a different hat on it. He has added his own wrinkles along the way, including getting explosive receivers such as Sammy Watkins involved in the run game, as illustrated by Shakin the Southland.

G.J. Kinne, who played quarterback under Morris and Malzahn at Tulsa, and for Kelly in a stint with the Eagles, said that there’s one common link between all three coaches.

“The tempo,†Kinne said. “I think that’s one thing that defines Coach Kelly, Coach Malzahn and Coach Morris’ offenses. (It’s about) getting those guys lined up quick and make the defense show their cards.â€

Two things Morris will bring to his next landing spot are points and yards. In 52 games at the college level, his offense has averaged nearly 40 points per game and less than 10 yards shy of 500 yards of total offense (Clemson is averaging nearly 517 yards per game in 2013).

However, the brilliance of Morris’ scheme is not that it leads to points, but how it leads to points. Its success is rooted in the misconceptions it causes with complex pre-snap movements on the field and the illusion that the system doesn’t emphasize the running game in the film room.

“Where people get it messed up is when they think it's a gimmick offense,†Kinne said. “We do a lot of fun things, like reverses and stuff like that. But if you look at Coach Malzahn's and Coach Morris’ offenses through the years, they are very balanced. We’re a run-first team that sets up the pass.â€

Lincoln Riley(ECU), Tom Herman(tOSU),Scott Frost(Ore),Philip Montgomery(BU),Rhett Lashlee(Aub) and Neal Brown(KY)

No on Lashlee. That's Gus' offense. He just has a title. The rest of them I like bc they call plays.

1. Herman

2. Montgomery

3. Riley

I really thought that briles called his own like I thought he did at UH

 

[LongviewLobo01]

Unless I'm mistaken I'm almost positive Montgomery is the Baylor play caller.

I want to say you're right though it never looks like he's calling plays when they show him on camera I just thought with his offense having no true playbook and it's all in his head that'd he call the plays too or maybe I'm getting him mixed with sumlin not having a true playbook

[CoachBobbyFinstock]

Unless I'm mistaken I'm almost positive Montgomery is the Baylor play caller.

It is Briles offense but he lets PM call the plays level 2

Getting PM would be next to impossible. He is extremely loyal to Briles.

that's a good point, I can't see too many coaches leaving briles' staff
