Would you break open the piggy bank for this guy?

Well Beamer certainly knows him. If he doesn't go after him, one of 3 things happened:
1. He goes to USC left coast with Riley.
2. USC east coast won't pony up the money.
3. Beamer is to stubborn to change.

If he is good, you’d think Lincoln would take him with him. A strong OL coach is a huge keeper.
This dude would be a home-run hire. Also with co-coordinator experience from one of the nation's more explosive offensive units, that could salvage some of the mess created by the Satterfield experiment.
Just hope he can catch it. I’d be willing to help if he needs itIs that a step further than backing it up??
From what Beamer said when asked about replacing assistants- after the season he plans on sitting down with Tanner to discuss options. With all these other changes I hope that Tanner thought to move that discussion up much sooner…. Like TODAY! Is there anyone worth trying to snag from places that are about to have turn over like Fl or Ok?!?!
Just my opinion, but I don't believe we will spend the money.
The optics of firing another coach making 6 figures is terrible. Both to the public and to the legislature.

I think the optics of not replacing the OL coach would be even worse.
I agree, but even the best players out of high school need good coaching to reach their potential. 3 and 4 stars need even more coaching and apparently this guy can do that. Look at Kentucky, their lines over achieve every year and they are not 5 star recruits. They are well coached. There will always be two parts to the equation, talent and coaching, without either you get mediocre.
The ONLY reason Beamer should have to 'sit down with Tanner to discuss options' would be $$$$. How much is available, how high can he go, and are they willing to pay Satterfield's buyout in addition to bringing in a REAL OC. Beamer, nor the fans, want Tanner's opinions about whom to hire PERIOD!
You would be better suited going for Clay McGuire, the now unemployed USC o-line coach. He is a good one, coached under Leach, Riley, and well respected. He is only unempoyed because of the Riley hiring, not his own performance.
The bigger question is where does Graham Harrell wind up. The USC OC. He was rumored for some fairly good HC jobs in recent years.

Where did you see that? He wasn’t on the flight this morning with the other three.
When he says "options", to Tanner that means money. We've got to get bold on this or the administration will be sending a clear message that they are never going to care about competing.
A couple different places have it listed in their job trackers but here is an article from an OU centric site.

I saw this one earlier. Check out the Tulsa paper's site. Excellent coverage there.A couple different places have it listed in their job trackers but here is an article from an OU centric site.

Damn. Had my hopes up we might have a chance to land a big time OL coach. There are about 4-5 guys that could really change the dynamic of our OLA couple different places have it listed in their job trackers but here is an article from an OU centric site.

Agree wholeheartedly we need to revamp the personnel, but a high quality OL coach is well worth any money he requires.
I was referring to Satterfield. Nobody would bat an eye if we replaced the OL coach. But it would be a scapegoat move.
$300,000 vs $900,000.
Paying Satterfield $900k on a 2 year contract is arguably a worst move than the Muschamp extension.
