OC:

DC:
Will Muschamp
Marcus Freeman (Cincinnati DC)
Andy Avalos (Oregon DC)

Oline coach:
Brad Bedell (Boise State Oline Coach)

So where are you hearing these names from? Boards or actual sources? Not trying to be critical but Names are being floated in these boards but we don't have real leads so far...

Boise State board was pretty critical of Bedell.

How would y'all feel about keeping Bicknell?

He did about as well as anyone could have making chicken salad out of the chickenshit that Hand left him. As I recall he was an 'outside' hire for Gustav.

Good list, I don't think Muschamp is coming.

I like that only one had a connection to Auburn and he knows how UGA recruits. (Yes he negative recruits)

If Harsin can somehow make Marcus Freeman happen, I’d be floored. Would be an absolutely homerun hire

So Derek Mason has interest in the DC job! I think that would be an awesome hire! SIAP

I'd be all for Muschamp coming back. Recruits well, gets players playing with attitude, and players love him.

Even if he was just a "rental" he can set the foundation for anyone coming in. Steele had a cakewalk for example.

As mentioned, I think it's unlikely especially after seeing he told Texas to kick rocks. Makes me think he's still looking for HC opportunity

Hopefully he brings in whoever he wants. If it’s all boise coaches then so be it. Let him do it with what got him to the dance. Forcing him to hire staff is no different than the good ole boy bullshite we are trying to get away from.

FootballScoop reporting he wants Bobo.

I mean Bobo does run a pro-style sorta like Harsin, but man I dunno. What is this obsession with Bobo from all these HC's? Beamer said Bobo was at the top of his list for OC even if he wasn't already on USCe staff. I don't get it. He had a few good years at UGA, but nothing special, imo.

And would Bobo even leave USCe after committing to Beamer? Would be kinda shitty, honestly.

EDIT:

BTW, I am very happy with Mason. He's about as good a hire as I could expect.

Mason's title is just "Defensive Coordinator". No "co".

With all the shite going down at UT and the rumors that the recruit in question was an OL, do we need to be concerned about the Will Friend hire?

Apparently Eric Kiesau has joined the staff in some capacity. At least his updated Twitter account would indicate that. Harsin's former OC/QB coach at Boise State.
