Tom Manning OC
- Thread starter Brandon
- Start date
Well I did say from a successful program. And while I'd rather have an OC from a successful team. I do think I'd rather promote the qb coach from Ohio State than the qb coach from San Jose State.
I'd rather take the better coach of the two, not just based off of the name on the jersey. Every coach starts off at a lower level.
Obviously I would too, but I don't think it's a stretch to say that someone working at a hire profile job may be better than someone who isn't. Obviously I hope he succeeds, and I trust Coach Campbell's judgment on this more than my own. All I'm saying is it makes me a bit nervous.
I'm going to put this in my signature because, after reading this thread, the only conclusion I can come to is that people need to be reminded of this fact every fifth post.
I'm not sure if anyone has said it in here or not yet but was Campbell the OC at Toledo before Candle?
Every time I see Londo post:
LOL, had never thought about that. Thank you for finding my new avi Gunnerclone, I was looking for a suitable replacement!
Rhoads brought in numerous OC's with varying backgrounds; the "rising star" with OC experience (Herman), promotions within (Mess, Sturdy), and the veteran nationally recognized (Mangino). All which have performed from terrible to mediocre.
At this point I see no special formula on hiring an OC. Except I think it's important that MC gets the OC that will run the offense that he wants/best fits this team. If only Rhoads could have figured that out in the beginning.
Manning seems to be that OC, maybe that's why MC hired him.

All I'm saying is that there is no need to create arbitrary criteria for the OC. The only thing we do know is that the staff should work well together, which is a good start.
Just win man. We need proven winners. Winners. I want winners and guys that know how to win and guys with HC experience that win. Like Bill Belichick before he took over the Pats.
I agree with this, also I believe if you want to bring in your guy at HC, you have to let him build his staff the way that he believes will give him the best chance to win. I am amazed how many people are questioning and harshly critiquing the hire of a top OL assistant who had OC duties and ran the system our HC wants to implement...
My point was that you can't put too much weight on lack of experience being a concern, because things still hit the fan with some of our previous coordinators who had experience. From what I've read, Manning will be a good coach and at this time I have no reason to question CMC trusting Manning to run the offense.
I got you. For all of us, I hope that I have to change my user-name.
Hoiberg had never coached 1 second of college basketball as an assistant or head coach. CMC has a lot of coaching experience so he doesn't need a Bobby Lutz type.
