Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 1163174, member: 27"] I still think Shafer would be more comfortable with Cubit as the replacement OC. It would be good for Lester too as he played under Cubit and is presumably tight with him (he has talked about how they were in synch when he was playing QB under him). Cubit is 61 and probably only wants to coach a few more years. Have Lester learn under his top mentor for a while, maybe make Lester a co-offensive coordinator if need be and then toss him the keys to be the OC when Bill retires. Quinn would be a nice fallback plan. He has great qualifications and I for one was a big fan of his/Kelly offense when they were at Cincy. I am guessing Brian Kelly will want him back with him at ND as their new OC though. They have a new guy with only part of a year of experience as Kelly's OC right now. Even if they only offered him a job as OL coach, they still could probably offer more than we could pay him as a full blown OC. [/QUOTE]
