So Underwood who was let go as a WR Coach is going to be hired as an OC?

He wasn’t let go, he left to pursue the Pitt opportunity. I agree it’s a stretch to let him call plays, just brainstorming people from Schiano’s past.
there was more juice on the Schiano hire 3 years ago which is why we landed Gleeson. Will be tougher to attract a proven P5 coordinator this time around.
He threw a lot of shade our way in social media, no thanks
Really hope Nunzio succeeds and can be the guy.
Brainstorm? Nunzio is the only viable candidate on that list.
dream scenario: Nunzio turns out to be the best OC in the past 20 years and takes over as HC when Greg goes back to the NFL.
Because it’s like Charles dickens “A Christmas Carol”. Schiano is Scrooge .
ghost of Christmas past
Yes, that means the season is a success and we score & win some games
Flood will make $1.25 million in 2023. Don’t think we could pony up enough to lure him back anyway.
VerSteeg did a fine job until 1.0 inexplicably fired him before the Texas Bowl IIRC, hiring McNulty. Think VerSteeg’s success and independence challenged Schiano’s ego.
After getting ‘chopped’ he had a long nfl offense assistant job. Schiano won’t hire him now for the same reason he axed him back then. Cvs wont be a puppet.

I would be very happy with that hire, which is why it won’t happen.
Not sure that’s accurate. I believe McNulty was already on staff in 2006 and GS moved McNulty to play calling and moved Ver Steeg to RB coach. Ver Steeg left at the end of 2007 to be on the Ravens staff.
Underwood was the guy who Narduzzi publicly threw under the bus saying that the WR had no clue what they were doing. If he the answer for OC at Rutgers then is in deep trouble. He probably will be available for cheap because he probably will be let go at the end of the season.
Guessing the WVU game. Underwood isn't a realistic candidate anyway so it's moot. Their OC would be more realistic, since he's worked here before, than Underwood.
Pat Narduzzi Critiques Pitt Offense vs. West Virginia
Pat Narduzzi said the Pitt Panthers' receivers and offensive line have to improve this week.

It was after the GT loss. He talked about WR not knowing that they were doing. Going to play one position. He also made comments after the WVU game also.
Just gonna throw this out there. What about one of the offensive coaches from Monmouth U? Take a look at their O output this year. Soph. RB Jaden Shirden is leading ALL OF FCS in rushing yards, by an almost 200 yard margin, and they are 7th in scoring offense at 39.5 pts/gm.
I've been to 2 games (daughter is a frosh there) and am going to a 3rd on the 29th. They are a fun team to watch. (Their team D isn't the greatest, so they end up in shootouts... but we're talking OC here so no matter and it makes for VERY entertaining football.)

The hard part is that any outside hire who finds success is going to use it to springboard into either a head job or a job elsewhere. Someone internal is more likely to stay if they have success I think. Obviously have to find the success first which is a big ask but success plus continuity would be nice.
The "stepping stone job" always comes up - HC, OC.
That's a good thing. It means they were successful.
There is the idea that "Rutgers AD can't be trusted to make a second good hire".
But wouldn't they have hired the successful HC/OC who is jumping ship?
The best way to ensure offensive continuity is to hire a HC who is running the offensive. Then if the OC leaves, you have the person in charge. Or if the HC leaves because of success, the OC who presumably has been helping run the offense could be considered for HC.
Unless we are hiring Schiano's children directly - any OC with success is going to leave for a HC job within a year or two of said success.
Number 1 qualifier is they have be italian. All else comes second.
Sanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu should be the next OC. Make it so.
Okay, yeah, sure… he has no experience. But he’s done brilliantly at every other job he’s done on offense. So of course he’d be a great OC.
My logic unassailable. Unimpeachable, even. The brilliance of this is manifest.
