quote:
They brought in Shiel Wood as DC,
If we end up with a defensive minded HC, we should look to the other side of the ball at Texas Tech and Mack Leftwich as our new OC.
quote:
Leftwich is a lifelong Texan who never worked at Texas Tech but had links to the school and the Mike Leach Air Raid legacy through Eric Morris, whom Leftwich worked under at Incarnate Word. Like Kittley, Leftwich is young (30) but accomplished and is working with a mix of returnees, including quarterback Behren Morton, and several notable offensive line transfers. Texas Tech is averaging 52 points per game and 7.8 yards per play.
"I wanted to still keep our Texas Tech identity whenever it comes to offense, but also, there's so many little additions to what he does that makes it really tough to defend," McGuire said. "One thing that makes Mack different, you've got some of the wide splits like Art Briles used to do at Baylor. You got some run-and-shoot and the stuff we do. Then, at the end of the day, his dad's an offensive line coach, so he'll tell you, we don't run the football, he's not welcome to Thanksgiving."

If I was AD, here is how DJ could win the job. First, he should have been preparing for this at least a month ago. Great leaders can read the tea leaves and see around corners.
He should have and should still be spending any spare moment researching and contacting Offense coaches.
He has to beat Vandy and Mercer and it better be a game against Bama.
Go into AD and say, you hire me I’ve already got this top notch offensive staff ready to come. If research proves they really are great, give him a chance.
It all depends on if he saw this coming and was working a plan. If he just started thinking on all this Sunday, it will show and he won’t get the job.
Success is not built on what you are doing, it’s built on what you have already been doing.

I don't know if DJ is the man but him calling recruits on Sunday tells me that tea leaves were read.
