OC Wish List

[graystork]

I'll start. I'll take Frank Cignetti. So so year with Pitt but runs balanced offense that eats clock and puts points on the board. See 2011. The only time Schiano had an experienced OC, let him run the offense and they worked well together. Our defense is good but overexposed. We need someone who doesn't run the rhumba offense. ( 1-2-3 kick).

 

[Rufaninga]

See 2011.

Can we get a good sample size from the last decade? I want someone that can win in today's game not 11 years back

Throwing this out there. Willie Taggart, recently fired as FAU head coach. Deep Florida ties. Was making $775K/year as FAU head coach. Was OC at Western Kentucky before becoming head coach.

Why not the other co-OC at Coastal Carolina- Newland Isaac, who has been in the role since 2019?

Light on experience.
Can we get a G5 OC?
Or FCS OC / Coach with proven track record of doing more with less

 

[RUevolution36]

Lincoln Riley

 

[RUTGERS95]

Rich Rod, end of story

 

[rutgersguy1]

Lincoln Riley

OC at RU better than HC at USC 👍😉

 

[RU205]

Ryan Day once he is fired from OSU???

 

[NickRU714]

Why does every list for any staff position have to start with “worked with Schiano, from NJ or passed through NJ on a road trip”?

Willie Taggart checks a lot of boxes.
Played Quarterback at Western Kentucky.
Coached QBs at Western Kentucky, a prolific QB school.
13 years of head coaching experience, three at P5- good candidate for associate head coach
Florida ties, good for recruiting.
Worked with Mario Cristobal, for whatever that is worth, but Mario can give stamp of approval or disapproval.
Good rehab assignment for Willie Taggart- P5 opportunity-what does he have to lose by saying yes?
Runs what is called a "Gulf Coast Offense."

"The Gulf Coast Offense (GCO) combines the idea of traditional power-I blocking and running with the athletes and routes of a spread offense, generally using a Read/Pass Option (or RPO) to attack the match-up that the offensive coordinator feels like he can win.

GCO is centered around an athletic QB and his ability to properly read a defense and decipher the match-up that favors them. The running back has to be able to hit the holes and cut to the open space, while also catching passes out of the backfield and finding green grass. The receivers need to be able to block downfield and have a set of reliable hands."

The Gulf Coast Offense has moved from Tampa to Eugene and now back to the Gulf Coast in Tallahassee. Here we look at what made it so effective at USF.

Casey Woods SMU's OC is someone that needs to be looked at.
He has midwest ties from his time at Missouri, was tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator for 2 years before going to SMU in 2021
Has roots in the south working 3 years at UAB as tight ends coach, run game coordinator and recruiting coordinator when that program was coming back from the dead and became successful doing so.
Also was at Auburn (Director of Player Development (2013-15) and three seasons as offensive quality control ), and the 2012 season at Arkansas State.as their wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator.
He just might help recruit better talent from the midwest and south.
SMU had a great offense (#12 total offense & #3 passing) under his direction this season, but one year on the job is a drawback.
A great plan B candidate, if everyone on the A list is out of reach

 

[newell138]

Unless we get a portal QB does it matter who the OC is?

He has spent his whole life in Texas and Oklahoma. But he might fit in here in Jersey:

add HC in waiting and RU will have the life of Riley on staff and the offense will be running like a Hot Rod Lincoln
Come to think of it, hire Rich Rod as coOC.

I'm in.

Just please, no Greg 1.0 retreads. No McNulty, Ciarocca, etc, etc.

Ciarocca is the OC for the 8-4 Minnesota. Pass on McNulty

Either/or. I like that KORN has QB background

 

[jtung230]

Any of them have a QB or OL in tow?

KORN's first album was killer too!

As for Willy, found this from Wikipedia:

"After seeing some playing time in the garbage time of games his freshman year, he suffered injuries in back to back games, earning a medical redshirt for the season.[2] He received his first start as a redshirt freshman in 2008 in Dabo Swinney's first game as interim head coach against Georgia Tech, but suffered a shoulder injury 14 plays into the game.[3] Unable to win the starting quarterback job from Kyle Parker after his injury, Korn transferred to Marshall after the 2009 season. He spent very little time at Marshall after the coaching staff told him his throwing arm wasn't strong enough and asked him to convert to safety, transferring once again to Division II North Greenville to play quarterback"

And this:

"Upon graduating and following an injury-plagued career with the Tigers, Korn transferred to North Greenville University. He started at quarterback in his junior and senior seasons at North Greenville, earning All-American honors after leading NGU to an 11-3 season and the NCAA Division II quarterfinals in 2011. Korn finished his career at NGU with an 18-4 record and threw for 4,058 yards and 45 touchdowns in two seasons. He also ran 212 times for 944 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Korn led national-power Byrnes High School to two 4A state championships and set numerous state records along the way over his high school career. He finished his high school career with 10,125 passing yards and 125 touchdowns which earned him such accolades as Parade All-American, U.S. Army All-American Bowl participant, Elite 11 QB Camp invitee, and South Carolina Gatorade Player of the Year twice (2005 and 2006). In 2013, he was named among the top 150 all-time South Carolina high school football players by The State newspaper."

Side note- Chas Dodd, who is on RU staff as strength and conditioning coach, was the Byrnes HS QB 2007-09.

He's has a bad OL and 2 ineffective QBs. He'll fit right in.

I want to see a consistent game plan that makes sense. I want an identity.

Couldn't agree more with this. I haven't seen a cohesive game plan on the offensive side of the ball since Kill was the OC. You may not have liked his style but he had a plan.

Jerry Kill is head coach at New Mexico state. First year, he took a 2-10 team to 5-6, and they thrashed Liberty 49-14.
