At this point we are either clearly replacing Lubick with Phil Longo and just waiting for the early signing period to finalize it, or this guy needs to be arrested for stalking. He's following every target we are serious about, a ton of our players and many of our coaches.
He got to Ole Miss last year to replace Lubick. He's an Air Raid guy. Known as a tireless recruiter, etc. My guess is he's our choice. He fits the profile of what Pete likes in coaches in that he's white.

I fucking hope not.
Longo helped Sam Houston to the FCS Playoffs in each of his three seasons, while shattering the record books. The 2016 team went 12-1 and boasted the nation’s No. 1 total offense (547.3 ypg), No. 2 scoring offense (49.5 ppg), No. 2 passing offense (368.3 ypg) and No. 37 rushing offense (179.0 ypg) out of 122 FCS teams. The Bearkats scored touchdowns on 80.3 percent of their red zone chances, also best in the nation.
Sam Houston had more than 4,500 passing yards and 2,000 rushing yards in 2016. No FBS team accomplished that.
In Longo’s three years on head coach K.C. Keeler’s staff, SHSU won the Southland Conference twice (2014, 2016) and compiled a 34-10 overall record. The Bearkats advanced to the semifinals of the FCS Playoffs in 2014 and 2015 and quarterfinals this year, while rising as high as No. 1 in the FCS national polls in both 2015 and 2016.
The red zone was a key area of success for Longo’s offense. Over the last three years, no FBS team has had more red zone touchdowns than the 145 scored by the Bearkats.
Despite featuring a pass-heavy attack, Longo’s units also ranked top 10 among FCS teams in rushing in both 2014 and 2015. Sam Houston produced 1,000-yard rushers in 2014 (Keshawn Hill) and 2015 (Corey Avery) and a 900-yard rusher this past season (Remus Bulmer).
In 2015, Sam Houston’s 7,975 total yards set a Southland Conference season record and ranked third all-time in NCAA Division I FCS history. The Bearkats led the nation in total offense (531.7 ypg) and first downs per game (27.6). They ranked No. 5 in scoring (41.1 ppg) and No. 9 in rushing (254.5 ypg), while also ranking 14th in third-down conversions (45.7 percent).
The 1,275 plays run by Longo’s offense in 2015 was also a league record. Three times in the past three seasons SHSU ran more than 100 plays in a game, including a school-record 118 plays in the 2015 NCAA opening-round victory over Southern Utah.
In 2014, Longo’s attack led the Southland in rushing (241.6 ypg, 9th nationally) and red zone offense (90 percent, 8th nationally).
Regarded as an outstanding recruiter and quarterbacks coach, Longo helped Bearkats QB and first team All-American Jeremiah Briscoe set a school record with 4,602 passing yards in 2016, while Sam Houston had the first two 1,000-yard receivers in school history in the form of junior Yedidiah Louis (1,152) and freshman Nathan Stewart (1,004). Briscoe led all FCS players with 57 touchdown passes (to 10 interceptions), while ranking second nationally in passing (354.0 ypg) and third in total offense (349.9 ypg).

Complete unknown as a recruiter, but if Coach Pete thinks he can develop QBs, that's worth considering when you consider how little Browning has actually progressed despite being a 3-year starter.
this place is gonna need to get a media pass soon.
Fixed
This is an odd situation, but I'm intrigued.
This guy is cut from the Lubick/Ed Orgeron cloth in terms of recruiting. He has fucking 18k followers on twitter. He's follows our recruits' parents.
I have heard that OSU is expecting some UW coaches to come with @Babushka - I'm guessing those coaches are likely to be one (or more) of: Boner, Paopao and Gregory.
OSU has not hired a RB coach yet. My bet is Boner is set to go to OSU after signing day (gotta hold on to that Fig Newton commit!!) and Longo will come here and take over RC duties.
I think probably the reason Boner is waiting is that he is RC and that would be intense to have him leave prior to the 20th.
That's my best guess.
But since you want everyone to know... Coker's gay lover was the first person to come up with this idea. I'm like Thomas Edison in this bitch. Tesla died in obscurity and no fucking brand of cars named after him is going to fix the suffering that he went through. Remember that.
