I'm sure the recruiting perks were a big sale, but maybe he would make a potential future head coach. As for Candle being the OC, I don't know.

Agree with your sentiment on him taking on the OC role. It just doesn't pass the smell test for a guy that was named as the head coach - and he wants to retain his former responsibilities. Gives the impression he thinks no one else can do the job as well as he can, but it really takes a huge chunk of time away from his job of being head coach - which includes spending time with the defense, position coaches, special teams, etc., etc. I suppose it could be viewed as a positive if he is ok with delegating that responsibility to the DC and the position coaches - but since we don't have a DC yet, not sure how far along in the process he is in finding one that he can have total trust in to do the job. Hope he is confident he has someone in mind that can do that job. Like I said before, a young Tom Amstutz level of enthusiasm with the wisdom he had in 2000 and the same recruiting skills would be a perfect fit. Who wouldn't want to see the DC come sprinting out of the Larimar complex and doing a belly slide across the field on a rain soaked turf? Or a guy sitting up in the press box at State College, Pa. punching the sky after another Frank Ofili sack?
