Assuming Pete is smart enough to get a new OC & QB coach at season's end, who do we want?

I think Jeff Horton is a name to consider. He is the OC & RB coach at San Diego State... they beat both Furd & ASU this year.

He has coached OLs in the NFL, and RBs in the NFL

He has a run first offense at SDSU

Maybe a retread with some baggage, maybe too old for Pete to feel comfortable around, maybe not enough of a spread guy if Pete is infatuated with the spread, but I'd love to see a OC like Horton at UW. His experience, with the talent we can get at UW, could be the recipe for an offense that doesn't suck.

You have no idea how much I would give to have Tedford back and be at OC

I don't know... I have the impression Oregon's offense took a dive when Frost left the OC role and Lubick took over.

Yeah but I'm hoping for realistic candidates. He isn't going to leave a HC role to be an OC again.

But the OC role at UW would be a step up for Horton.

Only if it meant giving Coach K and No Balls a huge raise

Bush Hamdan is the only correct answer. HTH.

Not who I want. But it is who we will get.

Very good coach. He might do the same weak bullshit though. I would be happy with him over Smith, but wouldn’t mind an outsider.

Dobie. Bring back the unbeaten streak.

Slingblade is a real possibility given his friendship with Pete

Quite honestly, I don't know much about Hellfreak's prowess as OC. I just don't want Pete to hire a friend and keep him on the job even if he stinks.

Hire a good coach, not necessarily a friend.

True, it's tough to really judge how good of an OC/QB coach he was by himself given that most of his time there was spent working with 2 high caliber offensive coaches in Chip and Scott Frost (who is absolutely killing it at UCF)

That's who I want. Taking off your purple tinted glasses
Oregon has had a top notch offense forever. Helfrich
has been ingrained in it. Perfect offense for Yankoff
and our running backs.

He is Oregons Gilby. Fuck it.

PGOS wants the job

The problem is that Pete won't (and rightfully shouldn't) pick a OC/QB coach now based off of any assumptions as to who wins the QB competition between those 2. Needs to be someone who is flexible enough to build an offense around the better one's strengths (Sirmon's arm vs. Yankoff's mobility).

But he definitely can't hire someone with a rigid offensive philosophy who'd try and fit a square peg into a round hole (see Miles, Cyler and Smith, Jonathan)

Doesn't make much sense then why you'd recruit two
quarterbacks with vastly different styles. I'm at least hoping
Sirmon has some running ability. If he can at least move as well
as Justin Herbert then Helfrich I think would be a hell of a hire.
Just don't let Sirmon or Yankoff run goal line keepers.

Wasn't Gilby a hell of a coordinator?
