It is somewhat, regularly I see the OC named and shortly after an OL coach he’s worked with or currently works with and sometimes it’s announced together. Longo and Bicknell came pretty quickly 1-2 one after the other, both from UNC.

Looks like the Petrino A&M trial balloon may have popped. He's heading to UNLV as OC instead.

Vegas seems like a good place for Petrino. Sin City.
That's a reasonable contract and should be more ubiquitous, specifically for most unproven first time P5 HCs and retreads.
It's still millions of dollars.
And another Leach tree coach into the B10.
Also Neal Brown is on shaky ground so helps for job security too.

He was in Indiana, but wonder if he would come to NJ. His head coaching record was not terrible. Surprised he was fired.
Any others?
I’ve mentioned Bill Bedenbaugh in the past. He’s the OL coach at OU. He’s never been OC before but he has talked about being capable of it but hasn’t ever gotten the chance. He’s been OL coach for Leach, Riley and now a Briles guy in Jeff Lebby. If you’re gonna take a chance on a first time OC that’s the kind of background that’s a decent gamble IMO.
Wes Welker (a former Leach player coached by Holgorsen at TT) is another one I've mentioned a handful of years ago as one to keep an eye on. He was just an assistant to a position coach for the Texans at the time. I was wondering if he couldn't be a WR coach in college, possibly for a Leach HC and then eventually be like a Jim Leonhard type. He ended up staying in the NFL and has been WR coach for the 49ers and Dolphins these last 4 years. He'd be a first time OC and I have no idea what his offensive philosophy would be or if he even wants to coach in college. There's the Belichick connection though being a former Patriot player.
Good for him. One of Ash's coaches:
You’re welcome to start one.
Side note: one of those billionaires Ishbia just bought the Suns
I've retired from thread starting.
Work has been a meat grinder this week. Finishing up all the unfinished stuff to take a nice vacation next week.
