Looks like one name that had ties to Lanning is off the board as Georgia Tech OC Buster Faulkner is headed to Florida.

I want someone just like Dan Lanning: Young, smart, and a driving force in recruiting

Chip is only 1 year removed from winning a NC as an OC. Doubt it happens, but I don't think it's necessary or even wise to have recruiting specialists at the coordinator spots. I'd rather have X's and O's guys.

Wouldn't surprise me if he heads back to Ohio State with Hartline gone.

What about Stutzmann from SJSU?

“Spread and Shred”

I’d hope he at least gets an interview.

Why would anyone want Chip back? I loved his time here, but no thanks. He had the top two rookie RBs at Ohio State last year, and both looked average most of the year. And It took until the playoffs for him to to figure out to throw to Smith. No thanks to Chip, Dan isn’t running a coach restoration program.

Didn't realize he had a connection Marcus Mariota as a JV coach at Saint Louis School while MM was there.

I wonder if Mack Leftwich from Texas Tech is a candidate, since his brother Cutter Leftwich is on staff. Lanning even mentioned the brothers during yesterday's press conference when asked about the games this weekend.

His track record as a college OC is absurdly strong. He is literally the most recent OC to win a college NC.

He is a shitty HC candidate. Doesn't recruit, fundraise or do media. Will 100% tank a program.

But as an OC? He's probably got the best resume out of anyone in college football.

With Ryan Day essentially having been Chip's protege, I can't see Chip being a college OC anywhere other than under Ryan Day if that option is available to him.

Chip's playcalling in playoffs last year was legendary.

But ya, let's not bring him in unless it's as a position coach.

It's not out of the realm that the OC is someone who will be able to help coach Dante/QB's and in the NIL age and new recruiting rules, the emphasis on having an Ace recruiter can be less important than getting a great teacher and play-caller.

If you want a wild card there's Jon Gruden!

This is the guy I'm hoping for, at least, so far.
