I think we can have a productive and interesting back and forth on the pros and cons of various OC candidates, but when the total sum of your mental energy is focused solely on where he's currently coaching there's no conversation to be had. Do some research and form some real opinions. You do know where Lebby was coaching before Ole Miss, right?

Completely aware. That program was fresh off a national title

By the way, the opposite of what I wrote on the previous page is also true. Look at who the DC's are for Bama under Saban, and UGA under Smart:
Pete Golding - hired away from UTSA (where he was the DC for two seasons) to become "Co-DC" and ILB coach at Bama. Promoted to DC after just one season.
Dan Lanning - hired away from Memphis to be the OLB coach at Georgia, he had never been a DC anywhere. After one season he was promoted to DC - again, the first time he's ever been a DC.
Why didn't Saban and Smart hire "big time" DC's? Seems odd that they'd need to reach for inexperienced small-school guys. Or do you think this is the byproduct of the HC in both cases being a hands-on former DC themselves? In which case the defense is actually their defense? In which case it wouldn't make any sense for an already established "big time DC" to coach under them?
Now go look at Josh Heupel at Tennessee. His OC is Alex Golesh who was his "Co-OC" at UCF for just one season the year prior. Before that, Golesh had only ever been a position coach - he had no other play-calling experience whatsoever (and when he was Co-OC at UCF, it was still Heupel calling plays). Golesh is basically just an OC in name only; and whatever plays he's calling, are basically just whatever Heupel wants him to call.

Except Lebby wasn’t at UCF for that season. He showed up in 2018 after Frost left.
He was also the oc only one season before Kiffin brought him to Ole Miss.

I know, I said that only because of who they beat for it, was a joke

True.

At the end of the day I'm happy Gus is gone. And that hopefully an Auburn HC finally has the freedom to hire who HE wants, not who he is told he wants

Just saw the NIL stuff, encouraging to hear we are jumping in.
