Coach Firings

I really wanted Kliff to work out at Texas Tech. He seemed like the perfect fit for them. I can see him joining some team as OC and helping them upgrade to a modern, explosive offense.
I can’t see it happening but he’d be scary as the OC for Michigan, Michigan St, Georgia, or even Iowa. Instead I can see him taking some lower level HC.

Same here and I have a feeling that guy will be out of work for about 17 seconds.
He will either stick with coaching or get into TV.
Kingsbury needs to stay as far away from the Big Ten as posssible. He'd be a potent OC somewhere, maybe even in the NFL.
I think both Fedora and Kingsbury are viable NFL OC candidates. I think NFL teams are going to be looking for those types this offseason.
Will Georgia Tech go after Ken Niumatololotoualoulululu?
Running out of established triple option guys.

There's always Troy Calhoun at the Air Force Academy.
Read that Kingsbury was visiting with Clay Helton in LA this week??? They let go of Tee Martin
If I am Georgia Tech I would go in a different direction. Georgia is such a talent rich football state I think you could go to a spread type or more traditional offensive scheme and have pretty quick success.
Pete Carroll had Norm Chow at OC and Clay Helton had . . . Tee Martin. Now I know why the Trojans struggled.
Kliff ise a great coordinator. USC will be pretty damn good if they load up on assistant coaches.
Yeah, there's really no reason why they need to stick to the triple option. From what I recall, the main reason they hired him in the first place was not because of the type of offense he ran, it was because he was already a well-known name in the state from his time at Georgia Southern(where he won 2 I-AA national championships). He just brought the offense with him. Of course, the downside to hiring someone who is going to run a vastly different offense is that it increases the transition time.
It might be hard for them to get a good coach who runs a different offense now - much like it was for us after firing Solich. It takes a long time to transition from the triple option to a more modern offense.
True, but you would hope the AD would realize that. Maybe you go with a defensive minded coach like a Venables, or Aranda. With the grad transfer market and JUCO's you maybe able to speed up the transition to a certain extent. Guess it kind of depends on how far you away from the option you go. If you go with a run based spread or some type of power run game you may not have to go completely scorched earth with the offense.
It will be interesting to see what direction they go.
I would think they could get some pretty decent coordinator to take over. Personally I thing G-Tech would be pretty appealing to a coach.
