La Tech OC Todd Fitch Leaving for Vanderbilt?

Rob Likens is available, right? If we wanted something a little more Air Raidish.

The only function of a Holtz OC is to sit in the booth.

Pay a grad student 36000 to do it.

Joe Sloan is wayyy smarter than many people understand. Look at his bio. The guy is a great recruiter and an offensive genius. Promote asap or someone else will.

This.

Kellen Moore is, as of now, available.

Says who?! He just had one of the top offenses in the league in his first year as OC!

Louisiana Tech certainly seems like a great place for coaches to get their careers back on track after being fired or otherwise having their careers stall, and for young coaches to develop. And then they move on. Who's up next for Tech?

He's the only coach who has been with Holtz his entire time at Tech. Why hasn't he already been hired away.

This would work. We could also let them be a spotter for Dave. That would help.

Yahoo sports reported Garrett and the entire coaching staff had been fired. Two hours later the article was pulled from their sight. It may have been a little premature. 😁

My understanding is Garrett's contract is up as of midnight tonight, and that is when the ax will fall.

Jacob Peeler would be a good hire. He played here under Bicknell then was a GA under Sonny and went to Cal with Sonny. When Sonny was fired, he went to Ole Miss to coach receivers. Jake Spavital at Texas State (who was Sonny's OC when Franklin left Cal) hired him to be the OC at Texas State. He's on his way up. He wouldn't get to call plays here, but he may want to come back to Tech if the money was right?

Maybe you answered your own question.

[HogDawg]

Kubik would be a good choice.

^^^THIS! Would love to see this progress.

I wouldn't mind getting somebody from Sonny's coaching tree for OFFENSE. Defense, no. But we need an infusion of offensive excitement, and most likely somebody who thinks like Sonny could do it.

I don't think he would ever embrace the Tony Franklin System of basically "basketball on grass" (60-56 scores every game). But I think someone like Peeler could bring some new ideas to get another TD or two per game... which would be awesome.
