Wonder why this news hasnt been told by anyone else. Football Scoop which is a huge reporter of news hasnt said anything about it.

Agree- went to their message board and their only info on it was Randy’s tweet.

They have. Just buried a ways down on their website:

UCF: Iowa State tight ends coach/recruiting coordinator Alex Golesh is expected to become the next offensive coordinator at UCF, according to the Des Moines Register. Update> Sources tell FootballScoop Golesh is expected to join the staff with the title of co-offensive coordinator.

UCF seems to like to give out impressive titles. They have an Assistant Head Coach for Offense/Offensive Line, Co-Offensive Coordinator/Running Backs, and Co-Offensive Coordinator/Tight Ends. Bottom line, according to this site, Golesh is not "the OC."

Reminds me of the Office. "Assistant to the Regional manager"

So what happened to the UCF OC?

I think Heupel actually calls the plays, but still a great move and step up for coach Golesh

I saw this and actually posted in another thread. I think this would be a great fit for us. He is Special Teams coordinator, Super Bowl Champ, FCS 4 time champ at NDSU (who also beat us smh), and not that it's a requirement but a former player which I think means he would stay here awhile if hired. Also never lost to Iowa!! He could coach RBs (he would inherit a great room) and Manning could move to TE. Thoughts?

I was on the field when Atif climbed the goalpost. Don't remember the game, but it had to have been in 2003, give or take a year.

Not sure how that's related, but always what I think of when I hear his name

2002. We beat Nebraska that day. No reason to climb goalposts in 2003.

I asked a friend in Orlando who is a big UCF fan about this. Here is what she said:

"Heupel likes to keep active with the offense. His background is offense and he was a QB at Oklahoma, so he just has offense in his blood. He knows he can't be an effective head coach and have total responsibility for offense. So, he delegates parts of OC. Plus, I think it is a covert succession planning tactic - spread the knowledge so if one person leaves, there's not a knowledge gap among whoever is left."

Ahhh that makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up.
