SHE acted like a the kid with the basketball, if it don't go her way, she'd take it home. Unfortunately for her, it was not her basketball, nor her COURT. haha But... only the flip side, I do miss making her blood pressure sky rocket.

Back on topic.. I hope the OC is Buckner if the hire comes from within. Anyone who really talks to him about football understands his OFFENSIVE I.Q. He is one of the most offensively minded individuals I know. He would def elevate our offense. He knows/understands/runs many different offensive schemes. I remember playing football on the old Nitendo64, and it asked what kind of play book you wanted and gave you different options. One of those options was basically a shortened version of each scheme wrapped up into one. THATS HIM. And with our personnel this year and coming up, I think it would work perfect. Of course we can and will do the spread. But we can also do the ground and pound, the option etc. Could you imagine how another team would have to prepare for you taking all that into account? It's almost like preparing for UK this year, only multiplied. Each new week, adding another wrinkle. And our players could excel in a system like that with few substitutions doing. Line up in the spread one play, the next your keeping them tight running it up the gut.

If the job goes to someone outside the program, well I don't really know who I would want. A lot of very qualified candidates are behind the scenes of most programs. 90% of you and me could tell you who the OC's for another team is. There's a diamond in the rough out there somewhere. But either way, I want to see Buckner on the sidelines. Because after several conversations with him, I came away that he was a big part in what we do. VERY VERY underrated assistant.

I'm impressed that you are impressed by the Jellico guy.
