Willy Korn? Didn't see this name coming but glad to see BN has been enlightened enough to find someone. He seems to have a decent resume.

it was literally the first name mentioned when Billy was hired 2 years ago before he started his lose-a-thon.

According to Zach A. (can't spell his name) from on3 Florida is 100% not getting Korn. Not sure if that's good news or not?
247 has also said on their insider boards that there has been no outreach from UF to Korn.

Ya know, you might be right.

"He spent five seasons at Samford where he served as the Bulldogs' offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach from 2016-19, while also coaching the wide receivers from 2015-17.

As a unit in 2018, Samford's offense led the FCS in passing yards per game (392.7). The offense also ranked fourth in the FCS in total offense (515.9 ypg.), and eighth in both red zone offense (.898) and in first downs (298). Meanwhile in 2017, the Bulldogs' offense led the SoCon and ranked fifth in the FCS in passing yards per game (33.4 ypg.).

In 2016, Callaway's offense ranked third among all FCS schools in passing offense, averaging 349.4 passing yards per game. They also ranked sixth in the FCS in red zone offense (90.2%), 11th in team passing efficiency (155.24), 12th in scoring offense (35.1 ppg.) and 14th in total offense (446.2 ypg.).

During his time with Samford, Callaway mentored quarterback Devlin Hodges, who earned the Walter Payton Award for the top offensive player in all of FCS football in 2018. Hodges passed for an FCS-record 14,584, breaking the old record set by Steve McNair."
Basically, if we don't hire this guy, he's going to throw it all over our asses in the Swamp next season and cause Billy to get fired anyways.

Are you talking about Russ Callaway, our CURRENT tight ends coach? How is he going to "throw it all over our assess in the Swamp"?
I guess I'm not following this nightmare closely enough. Please confirm that we DO have 2 OL coaches yet not much production from that unit, nor many highly valued recruits. Because that really does feel like a bad dream.

Who’s available that has been terminated for sub par performance
Georgia fired Sale, Hocke, and Grantham. Clemson fired Napier after two losing seasons, and Saban and Butterteeth ( at Col St) refused to promote him back to OC.

We are home for unwanted coaches. Other staffs must laugh at Simple. He’s so bad he can only hire assistants worse than himself. One messed up person.
