FAU' s o fell apart after briles left. Houston's was a disaster last year and Briles turned it around this year. He's a good young coach.
Willie wants to run the O though. I'm convinced it doesn't matter who he hires. His record says what kinda coach he is.
He improved each year and his offense is close to what Briles is used to

Vernon Heargraves II (VH3's dad) is an assistant at Missouri.....this ain't a good look:

Mizzou football assistant coach arrested for missing court date

Mizzou football assistant arrested for missing court date

COLUMBIA, MO. • Missouri assistant football coach Vernon Hargreaves was arrested Saturday for an out-of-county warrant stemming from a missed court appearance.

The team's inside linebackers coach was pulled over at 5:30 a.m. Saturday for speeding just east of Memorial Stadium, University Police public safety information specialist Sara Deidrich said. During the traffic stop, an MUPD officer discovered an active warrant for Hargreaves' arrest for failure to appear in court in Miller County. Hargreaves was taken into custody at Boone County Jail and released on $1,000 bond.

Hargreaves, 56, was cited for a traffic ticket in December 2017 in Miller County for operating a vehicle without insurance and failure to register the vehicle. Hargreaves, who moved to Columbia from Arkansas around that time, failed to appear at his January court date. A warrant was issued for his arrest at the time.

"We are aware of Vernon's situation and are in the process of gathering additional information,” Mizzou team spokesman Chad Moller said. “Once we have completed that process, we will be able to offer additional comment."

Hargreaves joined Barry Odom’s staff after the 2017 season after spending the previous three seasons at Arkansas.

The Tigers (8-4) play Oklahoma State (6-6) in the Liberty Bowl on New Year’s Eve in Memphis, Tenn.

Leaving Duke to join Muschamp at UF was a bad move for Roper...


NC State: NC State has announced the hiring of Kurt Roper as quarterbacks coach. He replaces Eli Drinkwitz, who left to become App State’s head coach. Des Kitchings and George McDonald have been promoted to co-offensive coordinators.

Then following him to South Carolina just double downed on that same mistake.

Well, by that time he had hit rock bottom and was working as an analyst for the Cleveland Browns. So when he got the call to come to SC as the OC he jumped on it. His biggest mistake was leaving Cutcliffe. He probably could have landed a head coaching job if he had taken the right OC job (vs. coming to UF and working for Muschamp). He did get paid well, having signed a 3 year $1.8 million deal (so he collected $1.2 million), so it wasn't a complete loss.

I think most of us would like to fail at that much. He is 0-1 as a "Head Coach".

This salary is pretty telling that this guy wasn't hired to actually be the OC. If Gus loses more than 3 games next year.....he gone:

Auburn: Offensive coordinator / quarterbacks coach Kenny Dillingham’s contract calls for him to make $500,000 annually and the contract is set to expire January 31, 2021

-----

Hopefully Steele didn't get to meet this guy on his unofficial visit this weekend...

USC: Greg Burns has now been announced as defensive backs coach at Southern Cal.
