Mississippi State hires Kevin Barbay (App. State OC) as the slobbering Pirate Bulldogs' new OC. Look for Miss State to continue their Leach tradition of (mostly) a high flying offense. Barbay is one of the picks of the litter for OCs. Miss State got a steal.

Sonny will do the same thing he always does. Roll with a QB who can carry the load (Morris) and reload with transfers. I honestly don't believe Riley had much to do with their skill position success this season.
 
Or...
Position coaches at a powerhouse like Bama have as a resume enhancer the fact that they worked under Nick Saban. Nice feather in the cap, but potential future employers might question how much they actually helped the well established Bama machine.

However, position coach for Saban PLUS another stop at a place like Texas, where you may get credit for helping with the growth trajectory (assuming it happens), and you've got a better resume that may help to earn you a coordinator's job...
 
While having worked for Nick Saban is a huge plus on the resume, the stench of being associated with Bill O'Brine is an anchor around their neck. Try as they may, the BMDs Tuscaloosa can't find anyone to take their cash and outplace O'Brine.

May be the only group this side of Garden City JUCO that would hire him, although you never know what the Haslems or Danny Bot Snyder are thinking.

Question is who will take the job on Kirby?

I really believe that there’s something to “The curse of VY.”

Basically the Texans done very little with excellent picks, due to their usual underachievement. True, they did go 11-5 in 2018 (and then lost in the WC round), but they have never advanced beyond the Divisional round. And since the VY snub, they have had 7 losing seasons + two 500 ones.

It’s an embarrassment of a franchise.

Brian Hartline (Ohio State WRs and pass game coord) promoted to OC at Ohio State.

"It took less than five years for Brian Hartline to go from a quality control coach to an offensive coordinator at Ohio State."
:clap::clap::clap:
(this man is certainly on the fast track, so kudos to his accomplishments---even for a much-despised team that I personally don't care much for...)

“Brian has been successful in every football capacity for which he has been engaged,” Day said in a news release. “He has progressed incredibly well from college to NFL receiver, and then from quality control coach to wide receivers coach to passing game coordinator. He figures things out quickly and he is more than ready to now transition to offensive coordinator."

If only we could ever get an Ohio State Offensive Coordinator to be our coach someday!
Their OCs are real good. It takes a genius to succeed on offense in the Big 10.
We'd probably win the conference every year.

He just got a guaranteed contract extension before the season and is getting paid $5mil and possibly more per year thru 2027. I'd buy a one way ticket to Thailand too if I just hit the lottery jackpot. If he were to coach as a coordinator he'd still be getting paid $5mil, but why do the work if you're getting paid the same anyway. After he rests a season or two someone will scoop him up if he decides to come back.
