Herman Gone? Some possible replacements
- Thread starter JUKEBOX
- Start date
The players hated him, built no chemistry with them and had major locker room issues according to a former starting o-line player who attended my church.
Of course, CPR is going to know better than any of us the situation surrounding him at Auburn.
Thats what Im saying. We dont know a ton about the guy. Rhoads would know more than we would. We cant use the scheme under Tubs as a good indicator.
I like frost mainly because I love the Oregon offense. I would like to see him come in and use the 2 back sets with the misdirection runs to help us confuse the defense.
But I wouldn't be mad about getting Franklin. I just prefer a run first based spread.

Curt what have you heard about Herman? Was he forced out or was it his decision to move on?

The spread offense isn't a gimmick Gary Danielson.

Ah not with a freshman qb who has come along really well with the zone read first offense. Plus Barnett ran it in high school.
Mods, any way we can put this thread and the "***Offensive Coordinator Search***" thread together?
Mangino is very intriguing - was he directly responsible for a lot of recruiting while @ KU - or did he have some key assistants who did this?
Thought Barnett reminded me of Reesing (even before some announcer said it during 1 of the games) in that he was same size, elusive, & had a knack for delivering the ball (Barnett would have to improve on his accuracy for sure to get to where Reesing was / Reesing had Briscoe, Meier among others catching his passes, but let's not get derailed there)
Also, was Mangino a presence in Texas?
Apparently this Franklin has ties in Texas - not quite the resume as an offensive mind directly at the D1 level like Mangino, but that did not seem to hinder Art Briles.
Frost was an option quarterback but has been in coaching for a decent amount of time & has been with a program which has recently moved to the elite status. Has he acquired the knowledge from this experience to be an effective OC like we would need him to be?

He coached their bowl game and won with little time to switch the team over to spread. The next season they started 4-2 and he got canned. They only won 1 more game that year and now everyone in the SEC says a spread offense just doesn't work in the SEC.

Mods, can we combine this thread with the one CW started, so all the OC talk is in one thread? It's a bit tiring having to go back and forth.

Wow. Think Tom Herman has potential, but I don't know if he ready to take his 80th ranked offense to The Ohio State.
