OC...

[Jake]

The way Shafer spoke today, sounded like "we're going to take our time and get the right guy" was code for "we know who we want and he's not available yet because he's in the NFL playoffs".

Makes me think Alex Van Pelt might be our guy. Purely a gut feeling on my part.

 

[Marsh01]

Not sure. Rumor is it is supposed to be a wow hire. AVP is not a wow hire.

TOS reporting that Alex is out

 

[Jake]

Hmmm. K. Didn't see that.

 

[phil77]

Did he say it was a WOW hire or a name we are not expecting?

A name we are not expecting is a WOW hire IMO

 

[tep624]

I think it's going to be someone from his past - someone he trusts. He said he wants to be on the field with guys upstairs he trusts. Doubt it's someone he hasn't worked with before.

 

[SUinNYC]

Fine guys. I'll admit it. It's me.

 

[jekelish]

If it's someone he worked with in the past, and someone who can help sustain a creative and explosive offense? Well, that's easy...

Which means the only logical new OC is...

 

[Frozen]

The new OC? You guessed it......

Frank Stallone

Reading the Scout list of candidates...none of those excite me. And none seem like they'd be a real splashy hire. Of those, the one I'd most like to see, based on age/experience/ties to Shafer, is George McDonald.

 

[Chris02M]

reading his bio he would be a good candidate

Not excite is being kind.

 

[phil77]

Didn't McDonald just go to Arkansas or am I thinking about someone else?

 

[JarHeadJim]

George McDonald?

Is Cubit to Illinois official yet?

 

[CUSU]

PAUL HACKETT..

 

[Franz69]

Is Cubit to Illinois official yet?

Nope. A bunch of reports a few days ago that he was supposed to be their guy, but no official announcement yet. Perhaps that's the holdup here, that Shafer is trying to get him?

 

[orange79]

Is Cubit to Illinois official yet?

Everything that came up when I Googled him says 'Report' or Source says'. Maybe it's not official yet.

 

[OttoForLife]

Was TOS onto our new DC hire?

 

[crales44]

Was TOS onto our new DC hire?

Not even remotely.
