You wanna talk about the fan base turning sour against a new hire? Doing this would be a huge start. Strong is a fantastic guy, but there were too many times his defenses couldn't stop drives from becoming long and methodical. Then there's the "3rd and long Charlie Strong" that will likely never go away. Like I said, though, I met him on several occasions, and he was a fantastic person.Nobody knows... Strong for DC has been tossed about but that is all I have heard and there is no way of knowing if that has any truth to it.
I hope whoever the next coach is they give Connor Shaw a role and I assume Beamer would be open to that. Dez deserves a look at staying around as RB coach too IMO.
Weird but he has a ton of coordinator experience and head coach experience, according to a lot of posters here that would make him a shoo inYou wanna talk about the fan base turning sour against a new hire?

By all account she is a good guy, he was actually a good DC here and a VERY good one at Florida, and went on to big success at Loiusville. He failed in two stops after that- so I’d say he is both a good DC candidate and a good example of a coach who had tons of success as both a great coordinator AND big time success as a HC before getting a step up to Texas- sounds like many here would be thrilled with that type of hire and yet it still did not work?? Perhaps Strong would be a good addition to Beamer’s staff though- as a voice with lots of HC experience. He can certainly advise on things that did and did not work well for him.You wanna talk about the fan base turning sour against a new hire? Doing this would be a huge start.

Didn’t know Beamer was ever a coordinator! Is that you Raymond?I think Beamer's experience as a coordinator will help him make excellent coordinator hires.
Is it a coordinator’s job to evaluate and hire coordinators? I’d say his experience as AHC at multiple programs would give him a lot more experience in that regard than any DC/OC would have as he certainly had a front row seat on multiple Asst coach hires of all levels working under his Dad..I think Beamer's experience as a coordinator will help him make excellent coordinator hires.
Garret Riley for offensive coordinator from SMU. Lincoln Riley’s brother.
Who needs qualifications when you hire a HC that hasn’t ever been anything more than what Beamer has? Seems we are just throwing stuff at the wall and hope it sticks.What qualifications does he have aside from his last name?
Not sure but just read it and heard the name from someone in the program that he is a choiceWhat qualifications does he have aside from his last name?
Doubtful on the Strong for DC thing. I believe that he left Columbia because of how him and his white wife were treated when he was here last time.
It gives a different perspective on what it takes to be one.Is it a coordinator’s job to evaluate and hire coordinators?

Yeah, the Strong's weren't fully accepted in Columbia because of their interracial marriage is the word. Strong has apparently said as much privately.Drama! Please tell!!!!!
What qualifications does he have aside from his last name?
Nope....not Riley anyway.Assistant Head Coach at Ohio State?
Nope....not Riley anyway.
I’d call EllisJohnson to be DC. Never understood why some were sour on him. Coached some of the best defenses we had and coached with Beamer. And already in Cola and would accept.he is going to need a very very good staff
We have never had a DC that our fan base hasn’t soured onI’d call EllisJohnson to be DC. Never understood why some were sour on him. Coached some of the best defenses we had and coached with Beamer. And already in Cola and would accept.
Call Brad Lawing for D line
I’d retain Bobo and Connor.
Three of those four coached or played with Beamer. Start of a good staff.
From SMU:Right, Assistant Head Coach at Oklahoma.
Didn't know Beamer was hired.Didn’t know Beamer was ever a coordinator! Is that you Raymond?
Just thought the same thing and vomited in my mouth a little!Muschamp as DC ... and reduce his buy out...
Sorry But Mushbrain cannot nor does he know how to coach or coach dem up.Muschamp as DC ... and reduce his buy out...
Why don't we bring Muschamp back as DC? That makes about as much sense. Look, if we are going this route then the old guard has to fall or the school simply cannot sell this approach to anyone.Nobody knows... Strong for DC has been tossed about but that is all I have heard and there is no way of knowing if that has any truth to it.

I was with you until you said to retain Bobo. Then I kind of soured. Btw, if fans turned on Charlie Strong because he had a white wife (see above posts), would fans turn on Lawing because he had uh...somebody else’s wife?I’d call EllisJohnson to be DC. Never understood why some were sour on him. Coached some of the best defenses we had and coached with Beamer. And already in Cola and would accept.

Sorry, but that's just not true. Before he became a head coach, Muschamp was considered one of the best coaches in the country. Let's not let the fact that he was bad as a HC create a negative bias toward him. Having said that, there's obviously no way he would ever be the DC here.Sorry But Mushbrain cannot nor does he know how to coach or coach dem up.
FACT
Funny I thought you were talking about BeamerWhat qualifications does he have aside from his last name?
Who soured on him? He left for the head coach position at southern miss. All the fans I’ve heard talk about him thought he was greatI’d call EllisJohnson to be DC. Never understood why some were sour on him.
That would be awesome if he was every actually a coordinator. He wasn't.I think Beamer's experience as a coordinator will help him make excellent coordinator hires.
Talking mostly about posters on here who said, after he left, that his defenses were not aggressive enough, too conservative, and we needed to be blitzing more. May have just been a minority of loud posters. Either way, I though Ellis was a very good DC.Who soured on him? He left for the head coach position at southern miss.

Let me guess, you thought Muschamp was a good hire, right?Is it a coordinator’s job to evaluate and hire coordinators? I’d say his experience as AHC at multiple programs would give him a lot more experience in that regard than any DC/OC would have as he certainly had a front row seat on multiple Asst coach hires of all levels working under his Dad..
You’re remembering correctly, some were thrilled we got rid of him and alluded that he was pushed out to the hc jobTalking mostly about posters on here who said, after he left, that his defenses were not aggressive enough, too conservative, and we needed to be blitzing more.

He has been a coordinator, recruiting coordinator, and special teams coordinatorThat would be awesome if he was every actually a coordinator. He wasn't.
Dude. Really? Semantics?He has been a coordinator, recruiting coordinator, and special teams coordinator
