Proven success at quite a few stops.<br />Andy Ludwig (Wisco OC) - Looks like he's had an interesting career path... strangely similar to Borges with a lot of the same stops. Wouldn't be opposed.<br />Joe Rudolph (Pitt OC) - Doesn't have enough stops to draw a definitive conclusion.<br />Paul Chryst (Pitt HC) - If he ever wants to move back down the coaching ladder to OC....

I think Cam Cameron will get a lot of talk but, like for Miles, it's a lateral move at best leaving LSU for the same job.<br /><br />I don't know why you'd go to Arkansas, they've struggled - I don't think Bielema had a great deal to do with Wisconsin's success. Oregon State is another school with ties to the Wisconsin system that has done fairly well with minimal recruiting draw.<br /><br />Stanford is the school that's I'd really look at closely...and talk to Harbaugh about it.<br />Lanknowsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-31264000429233388232013-11-12T16:38:45.651-05:002013-11-12T16:38:45.651-05:00That was as a QB coach, not an offensive coordinat...That was as a QB coach, not an offensive coordinator.

His quarterbacks at Auburn threw 7 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. Mike Gerardi at Temple went from 10 touchdowns and 8 interceptions before Loeffler to 3 and 2 under Loeffler. John Brantley at Florida went from completing 75% of his passes, throwing 7 touchdowns and 0 interceptions in Loeffler's first year to completing 61% of his passes for 9 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in Loeffler's second year.<br /><br />I'm not seeing a whole lot of "development."Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708792562446136381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-43405819280382848262013-11-12T16:13:42.241-05:002013-11-12T16:13:42.241-05:00Thunder, I've been saying this for weeks now. ...Thunder, I've been saying this for weeks now.

And with Loeffler, it's really just the fact that people have been bringing him up as a potential replacement for Borges if he gets fired. I am not a fan of either one.<br /><br />I don't keep track of offensive coordinators much, because I'm not a college football reporter. I concentrate mostly on Michigan. That being said, I envy what Wisconsin has done, and I think Michigan wants to move in the direction of that style of play offensively. I might be looking in the direction of Wisconsin, Pitt, and Arkansas to find the next offensive coordinator.Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708792562446136381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-7699409056370296322013-11-12T15:53:51.990-05:002013-11-12T15:53:51.990-05:00Yes, hopefully he will be.

Any offensive minds currently out there that would want to accept a job at Michigan? Do you think if there were some qualified candidates Hoke would let them run their own offense if they wanted to bring a spread back to Michigan?<br /><br />Are there any OL coaches out there that you feel would be willing to replace Funk?<br /><br />-JCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-67799164898718181472013-11-12T15:23:28.135-05:002013-11-12T15:23:28.135-05:00Hopefully next year, Loeffler won't be in the ...Hopefully next year, Loeffler won't be in the "EX" Wolverines category, if you know what I mean ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-75084605543099248052013-11-12T09:56:00.787-05:002013-11-12T09:56:00.787-05:00As always, I enjoyed this update post.
