In January 2019, CMN had to hire an new OC. At that point, Silverfield had been with CMN for 3 seasons in Memphis (and I think 1-2 seasons with CMN at ASU). Yet, CMN hired Kevin Johns to fill the OC position and didn't elevate Silverfield. Maybe Silverfield will be a better HC than potential OC in terms of team motivation, administrative duties, etc..

Kevin Johns is still here as OC thus far.
Norvell did not take him to FSU...he just re-hired Dillingham.
Between Silverfield and johns...I think our offense should be in good hands.

Absolutely!

Hell, anybody can call plays. Why else would everyone always be bitching about play-calling ?

MN did "elevate" RS. He was the asst or deputy HC, run game coordinator & his pay was "elevated" accordingly. Under MN, someone with OC title would not be a traditional OC but as run game coordinator, RS would be as involved in the play calling as anyone on the staff. As I understood the process RS & KJ would each suggest plays, MN would choose or call another. And even on passes, RS would call protections. Only someone intimately familiar with the offense could do those tasks.

You aren’t allowed to be content about hiring Freeze. Not on this board. The moral police show up in droves. So can it.

Exactly, Hugh Freeze. or Art Briles would be great hires, they know what brings all the Boys to the yard.

When I saw the thread title, I said a prayer to baby Jesus, that Freeze was the one that was chosen. We will all have to live with the disappointment.

I like to picture Jesus in a tuxedo tshirt ‘cause it says I want to be formal but I’m here to party.

What the hell does that mean ?????

OB GYN in private practice and also works at the Church Health Center, I believe.

Chris Vannini from the Athletic was at the press conference and talked with Gaston today. He said Silverfield's wife is in medical school in Oklahoma...was in Chicago.

I stand corrected. I believe what I mentioned are her future plans.

He said in his press conference that he had gotten several p5 offers but had turned them down. With his pedigree in the NFL and at Memphis it seems reasonable to believe that. I suspect it was partially because he felt that Norvell would leave and he would be in line for the HC job here.

But that doesn't explain why CMN felt it necessary to hire from outside for his 2019 OC position.

Maybe calling plays isn’t a strong suite of RS? Maybe he’a stronger in other areas? Easy to see.

Someone note the tile of "Offensive Coordinator" is one in title only, as Norvell assumes all of the playcalling responsibilities during the game.

It was thought that RS liked being involved more with the line and run game stuff and then assumed more administrative and recruiting responsibilities instead of taking a position with a better name but less impact.

^^^This. Coach Silverfield is highly thought of in the NFL and college football as a fine OL coach.
Under Norvell, the OC doesn't call plays...so if Silverfield had been named the OC...it would have been like a step down for him.

I am so big and bad that I police the fugging smack forum.

Delete posts, close threads, and I claim to be a grown up.

Maybe if I become more juvenile, I, too, can become a post manager someday.
