    A few things: -If Harrell is the OC, and the rumors are legit but don’t take anything for granted until ink is dry, then Traylor could make a return. Herman would be admitting to a mistake in let

As for Samples?  I wouldn't be excited about him as a WR coach.  He hasn't exactly demonstrated an ability to coach WRs.  He's a goad recruiter for sure, but I would imagine we would want someone in that position that has a longer history of developing receivers?

Even discussing an OC who runs something other than our absolute shit “power spread” system makes me happy.
Same for a DC who (hopefully) doesn’t run an exotic zone blitz scheme.
I still have faith that Tom can fuck it up but at least we have a chance.

Just know that whoever comes in on offense isn't going to run "their" system. At most, they're going to add some concepts they like to Herman's system and have play calling duties. Which isn't necessarialy bad. We've seen Herman's power spread be effective when called well. Just don't expect the air raid if it's Harrell.

Defense should have pretty much free reign, obviously.

You want to recruit a rich, young guy to leave LA for Texas and you bring him to... Houston? Bold move, Cotton.

There's going to be a lot of fired coaches in the NFL this year too. So, given the paucity of options in D1, I wonder if we'll see some trickle down, not that it's necessarily a desirable thing. Innovation seems to trickle up these days, and I'm not even sure if NFL coaches at the college level are as big a draw to recruits as they used to be.

As if we didn't drop enough punts.

Supposedly when all the crap was flying around with Kingsbury and Harrell last year, one of the concerns was Harrell being willing to live in LA.  It wasn't seen as a major selling point for Harrell as opposed to Kingsbury if I remember correctly, but I have definitely slept since then.

 

Plus, its not like Harrell isn't familiar with the state.

Well the Mainford info isn't too pleasing.. if Traylor is on board, it eases me a little with recruiting.. But I would feel much better if they hire Samples as a co WR coach.  Maybe Beck gets let go completely and Harrell doubles as OC and QBC

Yesterday I was listening to this week's episode of Chip Brown's Horns247 podcast & a beat writer for USC was on as guest. 

Based on the stuff the USC beat writer  was saying, we should all want Graham Harrell to also be the QB Coach. It reminded me of the positive stuff we were hearing about Sonny Cumbie when UT was considering hiring Cumbie after the 2015 season. 

If Beck is gonna remain part the on-field coaching staff, he needs to move to TE coach or something.

Apparently Harrell (as well as Mora) has interviewed for the UNLV HC job as well.

Then why is he still recruiting for usc?

So assuming the UNLV interview is true - guessing we don’t hear anything until they let Harrell know one way or the other.

Check Harden's instagram around midnight, they'll probably be in the background somewhere.

Doing lines off a strippers tits is how Herman seals the deal. Harrell is as good as signed.

Graham is in a really interesting position. Two flailing coaches, at high profile schools, competing for his services, and only one year to right the ship at both.

Herman may or may not be on life support, but Helton most definitely is.

Anyone who doesn't turtle on a 1-score lead, uses the full playbook, is willing to assess and attack opposition weaknesses rather than "impose their will", anyone who will do those things, is going to improve our situation dramatically.  I don't care what system it is.  Therm proved he can't pilot the plane and serve the peanuts at the same time.

Harrell is enchubbening.

If Texas is truly about to offer him 2 mill a year guaranteed for 2 years,  there is no way I don't see this happening if they are actually meeting.  I am certain Harrell wants to come back to Texas anyway, and I don't know that SC will be prepared to throw that kind of money at him to keep a coordinator from a staff that they may or may not can, but who knows.

 

Also, our own fanatical attitudes aside......I would have to believe that Herman is in a much better position than Helton....Maybe I am wrong, but frustration and such aside, Herman has so far been far superior to what Helton has been serving up.

Chip Brown actually said $2MM guaranteed for 3 years

You serious Clark?  Coaches recruit for their current school until the minute they take a new job then just switch hats.

Because that is his employer right now.

 
i think that is backwards. Lashlee played for Gus in high school, was a GA at Arky & Auburn and was the OC at Ark State & Auburn. was basically with him from like 2000 to 2016
there was *no* Lashlee offense that wasn't derived from the Malzahn offense 


Ah right my mistake. I thought he had coached at one point under one of Mike Leach’s coaching tree disciples.

What are his ties to Gundy? Is he an Okie lite lifer, or would he be willing to take a chance, in your opinion? Thanks for giving the name. 

Is Harrell a good recruiter? Will it help any that Harrell went to high school in Ennis?

I could go for that......although the last time we poached an all world coach from Okie lite results were somewhat disappointing.

Yeah, but if you're talking about Wickline, he was kind of an ass, and everyone knew it. This dude at least develops WR's that can/have gone high in the draft. He's done some amazing recruiting.

And even with Herman on the ropes, Texas' recruiting class can be described at worst as "disappointing".  USC's is more in the "abysmal" category. I'd think that would factor into Harrell's thinking, but we'll see.

Just now, Spider2YBanana said:

Good news is he's moved around, but the bad news is he's been there for 8 years. But can it be done? Money talks...and we do have talent. 

Maybe after 8 years he's ready for a change?  Who knows, but he sounds like a possible....

That's my hope. A new challenge with some highly rated recruits and see what happens. The guy seems to have done well everywhere he's been. It would be stupid for Herman not to reach out (assuming he hasn't).  

So if Graham comes to Texas that means we get Bru McCoy back, right? I always thought he had a few more transfers left in him.

Saw this from a trojan fan site.

 

The idea of there being “interest on both sides” backs up the earlier reporting from Zach Barnett of Football Scoop suggesting Harrell would be interested in leaving USC, regardless of Clay Helton’s status.

He was already there on a recruiting visit. Herman went to him.

He needs to keep that shit on the down low

I would think the mullet protects from sunburn.

I don't know what today's kids would think of it but Ennis was a 4A powerhouse when Harrell was there.

So we shouldn't adopt an offense that produced 2 Heismans in a row and got Jalen Hurts over 4500 yards this season? 

we should adopt an oline with NFL draft picks all across it every damn year.

If Colt goes into coaching, I would love to see him back here as HC one day. Has a Matt Campbell humbleness to him.
