Per source: Drew mehringer out as OC

[RuSnp]

What a rat bastard punk. He's given the opportunity of a lifetime by Ash and he runs away after one year to take A DEMOTION. Hope to see him fail.

I don't care what kind of budget Texas has, it has to be equivalent at least to tOSU and their wr coach made about half of what drew made here at rutgers as OC.

So without any knowledge at all I gotta think this was mutual or drew was sufficiently concerned about his leash here.

All that sais, perhaps the role is a co oc type deal. In that case it makes more sense

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Giving up an OC position at a P5 program for an up and coming HC to become a position coach speaks volumes.

Follow the money (OC vs WR) and draw your own conclusions.

Will Rutgers stay with the spread offense concept or will the new OC modify the offensive strategy with Ash approval.

Interesting

HAIL TO PITT!!!!

He went to TEXAS, to coach with his GOOD FRIEND, that's it. Nothing so "see here."

We'll go back to a pro style offense since our three pro style QB's are transferring.

 

[RU old timer]

Great news. Not if Ash is gone after next year and we can give Dan Mullen 5 million per year to come back to his roots in the northeast....yippee!

 

[BlockR]

I dropped some hints on here a few days ago..I didnt know this move was happening 100% just that the 'situation' wasnt the best after a few player 'moves' during the season.
This is for the long term best people..it just wasnt a fit.
now..RU cant screw this up..our last two OCs were "up and coming wonder kids" and neither worked out..

time TO HIRE A PROVEN FIVE PROVEN POWER FIVE OC,OR AN EX HEAD COACH WITH A OFFENSE BACKGROUND.

 

[RU old timer]

Dan Mullen without one other coach on his staff could outcoach Ash with 50 assistants!!!!! Get it done Hobbs! Mullen for 5 million a year!!!!!!!

 

[scarletKNIGHT07]

Kevin Wilson?

 

[Block R]

How about Mark Helfrich!

How about never going to happen!

It will be interesting to see who does get the job and how quickly it happens.

 

[BlockR]

THIS IS FOR THE LONG TERM BEST PEOPLE...RU JUST NEEDS TO HIRE AN EX HC OR PROVEN POWER FIVE OC...NO CHEAP ASS MOVE NOW..

 

[G- RUnit]

Yeah uhm this is NOT a "crow-eating" scenario. He left for Texas, didn't get fired, big differences.

Nice loyality to Ash and RU if left on own volition after one year of offensive hell.

If forced out all criticisms were valid.

Either way lots of crow eating as clearly was wrong man for the job as many said from day one of his hire.

Thank God this book is closed.

Please hire someone with real D1 experience.

Plenty of non-P5 OC's out there who would be GREAT hires and what current P5 OC is going to leave their school to come here?

Agree, IF "forced out" there would be crow to be eaten, however, that's not the case. Regardless no need for the bashing here by some IMHO. He's going to a better program, period, it would be hard for him NOT to take that job.

back to the future? hmmm..

 

[Bleed_Scarlet]

We were statistically the worst offense in D1 yards per game

I think we can replace him

Drew simply wasn't ready to be an OC

Does this have something to do with Martin?

 

[Knight Shift]

Darell Hazell. Jersey guy.
WR coach at RU 2001-2002 AHC 2003 at RU.
WR coach at tOSU under Tressel 2004-10, AHC 2005-10
6 years HC experience.

 

[RUhobbit]

Who are some OC'a from non Power 5 that might be candidates/great gets?

 

[Panthergrowl13]

He went to TEXAS, to coach with his GOOD FRIEND, that's it. Nothing so "see here."

He is a big boy who has his own career to think of.
Giving up an OC position for a WR position is a regression.

Not a good move for resume enhancement for future job opportunities.

Now did he take a Salary Reduction to be with his Good Friend.

Follow the money.

HAIL TO PITT!!!!

 

[Rokodesh]

Kirk Ciaaracca ? (sp ?) has great OC experience at WMU now. Daughter still on our soccer team ?

He already sucked here before, no thanks

Nothing worse than people saying "follow the money." You're essentially saying "I have no idea what I'm talking about, hence, this is the answer AND only possible answer."

Believe it, or not, money isn't always the case.

 

[koleszar]

This is not a common place occurrence. 1st coaches don't demote themselves from P5 school to P5 school voluntarily for a bromance or Texas. I have only scene this done FCS to FBS unless fired. What's he going to be a WR's or QB coach, he's not going to be making $450,000 for that even at Texas. If I was to hedge my bets this was a nudge out the door in the nicest and quietest ways possible.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Those of you thinking we're gonna hire someone who is going to run a different type of O, uhm, you can probably forget about it. Ash came in here WANTING to run this O, and he and his staff are building the O (see: recruiting) for this O, so don't get your hopes up fellas.

Watch for Brian Wright, OC at Toledo.
Here's why:
Coached for 3 years as OC under Charlie Partridge at FAU, although Charlie fired him.
Charlie is Ash's buddy.
Wright's offense at Toledo was #4 in Nation.
http://utrockets.com/coaches.aspx?rc=195&path=football
Wright undertook the task of converting FAU to an up-tempo attack as opposed to the pro-style which had been the Owls’ mainstay. FAU made significant improvements in all major offensive categories from the previous season, including total offense and points scored.

 

[Block R]

Darell Hazell. Jersey guy.
WR coach at RU 2001-2002 AHC 2003 at RU.
WR coach at tOSU under Tressel 2004-10, AHC 2005-10
6 years HC experience.

Very little OC experience (going all the way back to the early 90s) and, at least as far as I can tell, no connections to Ash. I don't see him being considered.

This one makes a lot of sense (and I expect Partridge may come on board in some capacity as well).

With all due respect Nuts, that doesn't make a ton of sense. If that was the case, Ash wouldn't leave OSU to come to Rutgers. Lane Kiffin wouldn't be trying to leave Bama. Coaches don't take demotions to go to a better name program unless they see their future is over at the current program. He would also most likely be taking a large pay cut. How often does that happen?

thats a good canadiate Knightshift..WRIGHT.
I have no idea where Capt Kirk stuff is coming from but Ive heard it twice now..could be BS.

 

[Knight Shift]

This one makes a lot of sense.

Remains to be seen since Partridge fired him. However, Toledo's offense was off the charts this year.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

re: going to Texas and salary, Drew might not be taking a dip at all and, if so, it'll be minimal. This is an article from last spring both WR and TE coach earned a base salary of $375K and were up for salary increases going into the season. Also:

"All assistant coaches, Davis noted, receive a $7,500 annual car allowance — yes, that’s a monthly payment of $625 — and a membership to the UT Golf Club, which is estimated to be $10,000, according to their contracts.

Kendal Briles from Baylor is available but probably to risque for RU.

No, what I am saying is you know what he was getting as an OC at Rutgers and you will have to wait to find out what he will be receiving as a position coach at Texas.

The money issue will be able to be determined in due time.

You say there is nothing more to this story other than he wants to be with his good friend.

You also do not know that is the case in this situation.

HAIL TO PITT!!!!

Kevin Wilson?

He's too "hands on"

 

[Block R]

I don't follow this stuff normally so no idea why he was fired but recent results speak for themselves and we've seen with these coaches (and it's true of most other staffs) that previous connections matter.

You're right, I don't, I'm just putting everything together. See my post above about what Strong's WR and TE coaches were both earning.

 

[NotInRHouse]

We set a D1 record in punts...Mehringer was not qualified.

Even a G5 OC is more qualified.

This is great for RU.

Hopefully Okruch can find a spot in Austin as well.
