OC Wish List

I've mentioned examples before but here's another reference to dispel the notion that air raid spread offenses don't look to run the ball. They take what the defense gives. Leach ran it the least but most other air raid/spread coaches looked to run if it was there and the numbers in the box were in their favor.
From the article:
The Tar Heels under Longo averaged 198.3 rushing yards per game, 290.0 passing yards per game and 36.3 points per game.
UW tailbacks Chez Mellusi and Braelon Allen are as excited as any of the team’s quarterbacks and wide receivers.
Allen added: “It's more spread out, more consistent. And I think it's just going to automatically loosen up the defenses. And I think it will help me in every way possible, put less hits on me.”
Mellusi understands the focus of Longo’s offense has been on quarterback play and the passing game. But he and Allen did their research and learned that during the Tar Heels’ best season under Longo, tailbacks Michael Carter and Javonte Williams rushed for 1,245 yards and 1,140 yards, respectively.
“You know, I think people are caught up on the air raid, air raid, air raid,” Mellusi said of the name given the offense Longo runs. “He runs the ball a lot. Two years ago, he had two running backs go for a bunch of yards. They had a game where they had 500 yards rushing. Me and Brae saw that.”

Air raid? Braelon Allen and Chez Mellusi believe they'll have plenty of chances to run the ball in Wisconsin's offense
Chez Mellusi and Braelon Allen studied Phil Longo's offense at North Carolina. They love that the tailbacks played an integral role.
I heard Schiano is waiting for Bball season to
End so he can offer Pike the OC job, or so it
Was intimated!
That would be better than the coaching he's been getting.
actualy he's waiting for the Patriots season to end and be hired as their OC when they dump the Judge / Patrick duo Because Belichick wants to hire someone who feels more offensive towards the offense then those two do and Greg fits that criteria 😁
Kevin Warren will be our next OC. That story of him interviewing as the next Bears president is just a smoke screen.
If it ends up being Nunzio after taking this long...
I almost don't care who we get at this point, I just want to see us bring in someone and start moving in the new direction.

If that's the case, they should drive the entire coaching staff to the airport.
plenty of other programs you can watch, just go now and save yourself some disappointment .
As for me I won't be happy , but will hope for the best supporting and complaining as the team deserves.
Mu opinion now is Nuzio probably will be the OC and feel Schiano should have hired someone else by now if he could get who he wanted.
Campanile deserves more respect then he seems to be getting by delaying the official announcement of him being OC.
But I'm guessing tjat Greg will be looking for a coOC to share the load, because he can't get a good OC candidate to come, and when he gets one the announcement will be made.
Actually a OC has been hired and the announcement will be made when he arrives on the Banks.
The holdup is :he's flying in on Southwest and besides his flight being delayed, they can't find the plane he's on
The way it’s going there won’t too many people watching the games anyway. lol
Here's a name, Slade Nagle, that I've come across and sounds realistic with regards to GS and a style of offense he might like. Not particularly a style (pro style) I think has the best potential but they've made it work at Tulane this year. Also some excerpts in the article about what I mention often...find a way to make it work with what you have. Also Fritz sounds similar to GS offensively. Fritz lets his coordinators do their thing. He actually hired a different guy, Jim Svoboda, to be OC and then instead gave the keys to Nagle when he split the team in spring and Nagle did better. A demonstration of finding a way to make it work and adapting on the fly. There was a good article on it in the Athletic and the X/Os of some of it.
Excerpts from the article:
His head coaching journey started at Blinn College in Texas, where he won consecutive junior college national championships in 1995 and 1996. He compiled a 103-47 record at Division II Central Missouri from 1997 to 2009, then led Sam Houston to back-to-back FCS national championship game appearances in 2011 and 2012, then went 17-7 in two years guiding Georgia Southern’s FBS transition.
The setback made Fritz’s hiring of his third offensive coordinator in as many years crucial. Fritz has built his brand on special teams and defense. His offensive system is tied to the coordinators he’s hired. He’s had quite a few good systems through the years, from Bob DeBesse’s triple-option at Sam Houston to Chris Ault’s pistol operation at Central Missouri to Hall’s multiple-personnel scheme. And he’s known for giving coordinators full autonomy to run the show, provided they followed the No. 1 rule in his plan to win: Run the football.
In July, Fritz turned the keys to his offense over to Nagle, a tight ends coach with no prior coordinator experience, multiple sources with knowledge of the operation confirmed.
Some may say an offensive shift three weeks before camp is inconceivable, particularly in the high-stakes world of college football. But here’s what you need to know about Fritz: For 29 years as a head coach, he’s become the consummate adjuster, able to regroup and regain momentum when the entire program gets flipped on its ear.
“Historically, he knows how to take the resources he has and find out ways to make things work,” Hall said.
Nagle’s offensive roots were grounded in a two-tight-end pro system, a stark contrast to the 11-personnel, West Coast system Svoboda was accustomed to. It didn’t take long for Nagle to plant his flag. Tulane went back to its core of being a run-driven, heavy play-action outfit. The Green Wave shifted to using more multiple tight end groupings to take advantage of the skill sets of Tyrick James and Will Wallace, lining up in 12 personnel on 40 percent of snaps — 11th most in the country, according to Pro Football Focus.
Nagle also decided to move to more gap and inside zone schemes, which was a drastic shift from Svoboda’s philosophy of using the one-back wide zone principles that he utilized at Central Missouri.
As it turns out, Fritz didn’t get the hire wrong, he just read the room right, again showing a willingness to quickly adapt.
It marked an end to Svoboda’s full control over the offense. And in stepped Nagle.
