Herman Gone? Some possible replacements

Re: ***Offensive Coordinator Search Thread***

Well that was fast, I'm putting my name out there.
 
Re: ***Offensive Coordinator Search Thread***

I say steal another guy like Herman from a non-BCS school.
 
Re: ***Offensive Coordinator Search Thread***

As I said in the other thread, we should go after Todd Fitch, OC now at South Florida. Runs a spread, Florida recruiting, QB coach, history with ISU, everything we'd want in our new OC.
 
Re: ***Offensive Coordinator Search Thread***

Top total offenses from non-AQ schools this season (with overall ranking):

1) Houston
6) Nevada
7) Northern Illinois
8) Southern Mississippi
11) Toledo
12) Ohio

I hope a coach with a similar system as Herman. I really liked the jet tempo we had this year, it kept the d on their toes and was effective at quick stikes.
 
Re: ***Offensive Coordinator Search Thread***


Yup.

I would also say the following should be on our list if we can't get Kliff:
Matt Canada (NIU)
Gerry Gdowski (Ohio)
Matt Campbell (Toledo)

All are Top 20 offenses, with spread attacks in lower conferences.

I think given Kingsbury's Big 12 background, there's a good chance we can steal him.
 
Re: ***Offensive Coordinator Search Thread***

Just a note, we'll have to get someone to coach QB's or else move someone else from the staff to QB. For example, you can't give the job to Loney sicne he was an O-line coach. We've already got Bliel for O-line.
 
Re: ***Offensive Coordinator Search Thread***

Kliff Kingsbury would be a great replacement for coaching both the QBs and serving as OC (like Herman did).
 
Re: ***Offensive Coordinator Search Thread***

Doesn't Nevada run the pistol? It seems like we have the personal to run that offense well.
 
Re: ***Offensive Coordinator Search Thread***

Kingsbury would be great but tough to get IMO. Depends a lot on what Sumlin is going to do. If he stays put, I think it's possible. If he goes BCS somewhere, I'd guess Kingsbury goes with him.

Is to too late for Leach?
