@tvoie asked if he’s a solid coach and recruiter...
@dnc shared some stats earlier and I’ll say this about recruiting. He went on a visit yesterday to California to see Matt Corral (committed to Florida, one of the top QBs in the country) and immediately about a half dozen crystal balls came in for Corral to flip to Ole Miss.

His comments about doing what works and exploiting what the defense gives you is exactly what I want to hear from an OC. Saying isn't doing, but this guy is at most a CO-OC. If he really can recruit, and it seems like he can, this seems like a slam-dunk hire. The fact that he has only recruited in the South I think is actually a plus. If he can recruit there, he can recruit on the West coast, too. And it might give us a shot with some national recruits.

An Ole Miss bag man is exactly what we need IMO

Don't understand this. Why leave Ole Miss OC to be co-OC somewhere, at best? Unless you realize w/ sanctions and Matt Luke you are headed for disaster, I guess. Still, you'd think he could pull an OC gig elsewhere.
Really, though, appears right now to be almost everything I *don't* want: white, on a staff that already leans white. Air Raid devotee. I'm all for getting guys in space, etc., but don't want a pass-happy offense with that mesh shit. Pass. You tell me he's a great recruiter, okay. Do that. But I'd rather be a little boring and thump teams with kind of running game we saw vs. CU, WSU, etc., than run the Air Raid. -
Ole Miss is about to head into a period of massive hell ... that's a dumpster fire if you're any kind of coach worth avoiding going forward
-
Ole Miss will probably be hit with sanctions. He was passed over for head coach by an OL coach with downs. There's a good chance he'd feel slighted by that. Our coaches are wanted commodities. Hamdan got an NFL gig, and now the OC gig. Lubick is getting interest. No-balls is getting interested. Jonathan Smith was hired as a head coach, and he's a somewhat highly functioning autist who looks like fat Kevin Spacey. People want to work with Petersen. It doesn't take a doog to see why he would want to come here.
I don't like that our coaching staff is now bordering on translucent, but if he's a good coach and a good recruiter who gives a shit? Bob Gregory can't recruit because he's too fucking white. We probably should have more black coaches. That doesn't mean we should overlook all white candidates... As for being an Air Raid guy... I'd say he's more of a spread guy. Call it whatever you want, they use a lot of the same passing concepts. This guy says he doesn't want to pass all the time as a philosophy. He wants to run when that makes more sense.
Not that that matters anyway, if he's Co-OC/Passing game coordinator or whatever. He won't be the play-caller. He'll help with the offensive gameplan, and he'll help coach the QB. We want to have a balanced offense, but we also want to have a QB who can fucking throw the ball when we have to. -
Every time I read 'air raid' I shudder and remember Lake's quote. No thanks.

I get that his situation in OM is perhaps not ideal. However:
- He's currently making $600k a year, this year that would put him at 4th highest paid assistant behind Kwiatkowski, Smith, and Lake. Bhonapha made $330k. And none of this is even factoring in the Oxford to Seattle cost of living hike. It's hard to imagine coming to UW would be anything but a significant pay cut.
- He's being mentioned as OC candidate for several P5 schools - Mizzou is one, but there's a ton of talk about South Carolina. Apparently he has ties with Muschamp.
- He has zero ties to Petersen and/or UW. 81% of coaching hires normally have at least some type of tangental connection. And virtually every hire Petersen has made has fit that.
The Twitter action is undeniable and indicates that something is up, but this whole thing is really odd. -

That's the closest connection we've got.
Only thing that makes sense is the two of them kept some kind of connection after Lubick left and Lubick reached back out after the shit hit the fan in Oxford.
Agreed he ain't coming cheap. He actually makes $500,000 this year but $700,000 next year (average of $600k on a two year deal). -
As expected, UCF OC/WR coach Troy Walters is heading to NU with Frost. I assume this means Lubick is staying for now.
