If Rice hires Kurt Roper. they are not hiring Will Muschamp's Offensive Coordintor. Would you, based on our offense this past two years? No. They will be hiring David Cutcliffe's Offensive Coordinator, after talking with Cutcliffe.
When Muschamp was hired, I thought he said he would run an offense similar to Auburn's. Have we run that? I have not seen it.
By the way, I'm afraid if Rice hires Roper, Muschamp will hire Rhett Lashlee, UCONN's OC. Lashlee took a $250,000/year pay cut to go from being Auburn's OC to being UCONN's OC. That does not make sense unless he was told that he had no choice. To say that he took the job because Malzhan is too involved in the Auburn offense, is a questionable reason. Lashlee leaves, Auburn wins the SEC West and UCONN's offense is 52nd in Total Offense. I'm not sure how I'd feel about hiring Lashlee. To me, he would be a borderline hire.
