Gentleman, we got him!
KC interviewed after 2018 to be WV's OC. Brown (their head coach, then and still now) badly wanted to hire him. They were on the same staff at Delaware, where KC was prior to Rutgers. KC was also the RB coach again at Delaware the year before PJ hired him at WMU (*SHOCK!!!* *HORROR!!!!!*)how is that relevant to KC who is NOT their OC?
Again...still not relevant no matter how much you twist to try and make it sound as such. Good try though!KC interviewed after 2018 to be WV's OC. Brown (their head coach, then and still now) badly wanted to hire him. They were on the same staff at Delaware, where KC was prior to Rutgers. KC was also the RB coach again at Delaware the year before PJ hired him at WMU (*SHOCK!!!* *HORROR!!!!!*)
So instead, Brown hired a guy who was (and is still for them) a WR coach.
All this, of course, proves that Fleck's weak excuse of supposedly wanting a QB coach to be OC, is pure bunk.
Brown still thought so highly of KC, that when he got scape-goated and thrown out on his ass by Franklin after one covid partial-season and barely any pre-season to install things, he (Brown) offered KC the analyst position because he still wanted him on the staff.
If the spot had been open, guaranteed that KC is WV's OC and would continue to be.
Instead, a great opportunity opened up for KC to come back to Dinkytown, and that is a great thing!
Your hatred of the Strib is hilarious. Not intentionally...it makes you look small and it is often misguided.Randy Johnson in the STrib today, wrong again about Sanford's title:
Ciarrocca takes over for Mike Sanford Jr., who was let go last week following two seasons as Gophers co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach with primary play-calling duties.
Hey Randy, check this out: it's called the internet! You can look stuff up, and stuff!

TITLE Co-offensive Coordinator / Wide Receivers
Wrong. I proved it was.Again...still not relevant
Good, I'm glad I make you laugh. You're welcomeYour hatred of the Strib is hilarious.
Indeed, he was. Obvious to anyone with eyes and a brain.Simon was "DeFacto OC" the last 3 games.
Well at least on Twitter Simon isn't coming across as bitter about not getting the OC job. Still a very good chance that he is more than happy to be a position coach at this point in his career and doesn't want to be an OC. I know that is tough for some to understand but not all position coaches want to be coordinators and not all coordinators want to be head coaches.
Did you graduate with Simon from Farmington or are you related? Simon was on the sideline in his normal role while Sanford called plays over the last three games. Was he more involved and have more say in game plan, probably, but he didn't Coordinate the games from the sideline.Is there any surprise, in the slightest, about who is going to be the OC for the bowl game, since KC mutually agreed with Fleck and WV not to coach in the bowl game?
Of course there's no surprise. It's the guy on the staff who already did it in the last bowl game, was defacto the OC the last three games of the regular season, and is 100% qualified to be OC now.
Simon
Lots of OC's call plays from the sideline, while getting assistance from someone else in the box.Simon was on the sideline in his normal role while Sanford called plays over the last three games.
Based on the Tweet (from Simon himself) that GWG posted in one of these threads, Simon isn't going anywhere. Was welcoming KC back and ready to get back to work winning here.Simon has had every opportunity to walk and find a new job if he feels it is in his best interest.
Not saying CAB wouldn't be a nice piece to get back. Obviously would be.Waiting to see if CAB and the O-linemen come back that can. Big for us going into next year.
Not sure why I want to go down this rabbit hole with you as it's like hitting my head against a brick wall, but Fleck wanting his OC to also be the QB coach is NOT pure bunk. It's just his preference and as head coach you go with what you believe in.KC interviewed after 2018 to be WV's OC. Brown (their head coach, then and still now) badly wanted to hire him.

Nah.It's just his preference
Your perception of this makes it so?Indeed, he was. Obvious to anyone with eyes and a brain.
The guy who called the outback bowl from the press box with time to prepare was calling plays from the sidelines in the most important games of 2021? Possibly but unlikely.Lots of OC's call plays from the sideline, while getting assistance from someone else in the box.
Silly if you think that physical positioning disproves it.
Based on the Tweet (from Simon himself) that GWG posted in one of these threads, Simon isn't going anywhere. Was welcoming KC back and ready to get back to work winning here.
Seems like he (Simon) genuinely thinks something special is cooking here and wants to give it some number more seasons to see if it takes off.
He is young, and will have ample opportunity, somewhere, to prove what is already known among many coaches nationally and certainly on this staff: he is well qualified to be, and wants to be, an OC.
Seriously put the guy on ignore. It’s done wonders for my wasting of time on here. The guy has the biggest man crush on a WR coach I’ve ever seenThe guy who called the outback bowl from the press box with time to prepare was calling plays from the sidelines in the most important games of 2021? Possibly but unlikely.
Spot on guyCould be them negotiating a 1 month non compete
Just the first half. By then Gophs will be so far ahead, he might just stay in the locker room for the second half.Is PJ going to even be able to coach in the game after targeting?
Don’t you usually get kicked out for that?
This seems to be a tough concept to get a hold of, particularly for those that think they should be company VP's coming out of college, but some people are self-aware and understand the value of paying your dues while you climb the ladder. Understanding if/when you are or are not ready for the next level is a very good quality.Did you graduate with Simon from Farmington or are you related? Simon was on the sideline in his normal role while Sanford called plays over the last three games. Was he more involved and have more say in game plan, probably, but he didn't Coordinate the games from the sideline.

Well Mpls ain't wrong and kinda sounds like he's living in your head rent free in this threadYour hatred of the Strib is hilarious. Not intentionally...it makes you look small and it is often misguided.
"WHY DOES THE BADGER LOVING STRIB CALL HIM BUCKY!?!?!?!?!?"
(Gopher Radio people call him Bucky, his nickname is Bucky!)
"BADGER LOVING STRIB DOWNPLAYING OUR BOWL GAME!!!!"
(picked the right bowl game)
Now you are being pedantic one post after you blatantly make up that Simon was "DeFacto OC" the last 3 games. Irony...
Is it somehow possible you think the Strib is a good newspaper?Your hatred of the Strib is hilarious. Not intentionally...it makes you look small and it is often misguided.

What is your theory as to why Sanford was fired if it was indeed he who called the last three games?Did you graduate with Simon from Farmington or are you related? Simon was on the sideline in his normal role while Sanford called plays over the last three games. Was he more involved and have more say in game plan, probably, but he didn't Coordinate the games from the sideline.

Or perhaps for the last three games the guy sitting in the press box was there for appearances sake and to avoid questions from the press? Could it be the guy in the box was just sending down observations to the guy on the sidelines calling plays?The guy who called the outback bowl from the press box with time to prepare was calling plays from the sidelines in the most important games of 2021? Possibly but unlikely.
