Let’s do it.

Don’t have a name, but I think it’s just like 2015, and we hire someone from FCS.
 
Jeff Nixon. A PA boy who works for Baylor as their OC.
He also went to Penn State like me.
 
Billy Napier
David Yost
Kevin Johns? Preview coming up in like 3 weeks

Not Rich Rod but someone with Rich Rod experience if hes out there
 
I see names are being tossed around out there. The Okie State OC was at Princeton before they hired him last year. Maybe he wants to come back East?

Kevin Daft is the offensive coordinator/quarterback coach at Dartmouth. He has been there two years and has produced incredible offense for them. They average 33.3 points per game, few turnovers, high percentage of pass completions, and a high test running game.

Daft was at UC Davis before joining Dartmouth. He also has experience at California, where he coached wideouts and quarterbacks. Cal was a bowl team when he was there and they had a prolific passing attack.

Daft recruits Texas/Louisiana area and knows the deep south recruiting area. That would be a plus, especially with all the skill kids coming out of there at WR.

Franklin has a thick notebook filled with coaches of achievement. I would not be surprised if Daft is one of them.

I’ve heard Mike Yurcich name thrown around in the past. Any chances he comes back to pa this time?
 
My guess is it will be someone currently on staff.....even CJF possibly taking over the play calling or if from the outside, likely someone we've never heard of.....prompting much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
 
My prediction it will NOT be a common name speculated on these sites. Look at Frankin's history and he has his won list. Hist list does not necessarily match the "common" list: Morehead, Sieder, Limegrover, Corley, Bowen, Parker..... pretty much every name that Franklin hired while at Penn State was not a "known name", or was a "surprise name".

So my prediction is this. Franklin most likely already has his 2 or 3 favorite candidates already being contacted. Most likely, those are names none of us are expecting.

Seider/Bowen co coordinators or Seider/Parker
Seider has been a RB coach all the way. Parker was interim HC briefly at one stop, but has also been a position coach. Maybe they are ambitious, but maybe they're happy where they are. Seider has been quite a recruiting force from what I can tell, so definitely someone to keep happy if CJF can.

I'm sure you're right, but we are ENTITLED to an e-light OC and will run anyone else out of town on a rail
 
Napier may very well be Miss State's head coach at this time next year.

Zero chance he leaves for a coordinator position.
He might be.. but to be a OC at a major P5 > HC at ULL.

If your saying hes a job title chaser then maybe we wouldnt want him. Plenty of HC's back in the OC role. Wilson at OSU comes to mind as an example.
Former OC and HC experience seems to be in order if you want to get over the hump nowdays.

You are probably correct.
 
Not advocating for him but wouldn’t be surprised to see Bush Hamden OC at U Dub with the coaching change out there. Worked with James in the past.
 
I wonder if lazy Sandy will hire a search firm for $500K or so to give her some names? After all, it's the Christmas season and she can't be bothered with work.
