MEEN2018

I agree. It seems like Harrell and Littrell put together a good game plan but then Harrell sticks with it even after the defense adapts. I think he just needs to learn to better adapt and have confidence to deviate from the game plan.

I think that Harrell is a great QB coach as evidenced by Fine’s growth. The problem is that unlike being a QB coach where he can directly use his playing experience, play calling takes time to develop. I think he has a lot of potential as a coach but I think the frustration stems from his play calling not developing as fast as many fans would like. The offense has been good but has left a lot of points on the board from suspect play calling at times.

All of Mean Green Nation right now:

Which 2018 and 2019 recruits do you expect to make the most impact next year?

I think Harrell is a good QB coach as we have seen how much better Fine has gotten each year. He just needs a lot more development as a play caller and unfortunately I think that to live up to their potential this team needs a better play caller. Yellock doesn’t surprise me. Amazing improvement on the dline this year. If he leaves I wish him the best of luck! Biagi seems like a future star with his coaching and recruiting. I think he would be the best candidate to replace Seth down the road if we promoted from within. Choice is in the same boat as Biagi to me. The players seem to LOVE both of them and it seems like every key recruit posts a picture with Choice, Biagi, and Mainord. I would not be surprised to see Choice as a HC somewhere in the next 5 years. Glad to hear on the rest. The only coach I’m on the fence about is Langston. Not impressed with his results but the online recruits for this year seem better. Oline takes a while to develop so I’ll trust Seth on this one. I know a lot of us wanted Reff gone last year and then he turned into a star this year so patience may be a virtue.

Would this be as a Co-OC with someone like Mainord or as the sole OC? I mentioned him yesterday but didn’t know if he was ready for sole OC yet

Oh I agree! (I posted it right above😀). Just looking at potential options. If they went after someone like him it’d probably be more of a Co-OC thing. My choice would be Mainord but with having to bring an extra assistant in Riley would be intriguing with working under Lincoln and makes sense with a prior connection to Seth

I agree! Let’s hope it’s OC/QB coach. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Mainord move up to OC and a QB coach come in. Not based off of anything but just makes sense to me

I did see that Lincoln Rileys brother Garrett has coached the QBs and TEs over the last couple of years at Kansas and it looks like 1 of his years as a player at Tech overlapped with Seth’s. Was an offensive assistant at East Carolina when Lincoln was OC there so maybe an option?

Let’s hope! I would have thought that a guy like Mainord would be promoted but maybe not

Wren just started following this company on twitter: http://ventura-partners.com/sports-management/ it looks like they do executive searches and the Clemson AD is quoted on the page saying that they help find good coaches...😕

And he actually had a crazy amount of success as a recruiter. Mccarney still doesn’t know what the word recruiting means...

This is why KSU never made sense to me. Eventually the NFL money will persuade Lincoln to go and even if Littrell was able to have quick success at KSU they would make the buyout so high because they know that he wants to go to OU that OU would probably look elsewhere.
