Because he only wants to coach, not run a team.

There's a clip of him talking about being an assistant or something along those lines floating around the forum.

Wow. Not a SINGLE THREAD speculating on the replacement of a current coach has been removed or edited in almost a week.

NOT ONE.

Sure sounds to me like it will be Spurrier. I would never have thought of it. Never. But he and Sumlin are friends. And I can't quite believe the OBC has lost it in the offensive department. A splash hire, that's for sure. That would also allow him to keep Spav on as QB coach and as the ace recruiter that he is, while having OBC around as a mentor and counselor/consultant in the QB department.
Is this based on new info? Or just stuff from this thread?

so who gets fired then? you can't just hire spurrier and not fire someone. in this scenario of yours, Spav stays on. Where is the cut made, and how do you adjust for the position that the fired coach was responsible for?

I have had a gut feeling that Christensen is out, regardless of what happens with Spav.

McKinney should have been gone when he was demoted two years ago. And Christensen doesn't seem to be on the recruiting trail. Tea leaves say, it's him. Either of those two, or maybe both??

then who coaches the oline? let me rephrase my statement..

so who gets fired then? you can just hire spurrier and not fire someone, because the Aggies have the maximum allowable coaches currently on staff. If Spurrier is hired, and spav stays on, where is the cut made, and how do you adjust for the position that the fired coach was responsible for?

-the answer is to let go of either the DT or DE coach, and make the other a D-Line coach. just wanting to make sure everyone understands that you can't just hire Spurrier on top of everyone already here.

the new OC will either be a QB, RB, OL, or WR coach as well, or you have to lose one of your defensive coaches.

That may be the case. But then who would coach the OL? IF Spav and Spurrier were on the staff at the same time, we still couldn't hire another OL coach.

EDIT: I see 2012 beat me to the question...

IMO, Christensen needs the boot. Dude had 8 months and our o-line looked worse. There wasn't even any improvement throughout the year. If anything they looked worse as things went on.

I'm thinking Spav, McKinney and Hagen are gone (unless Spav is kept to only coach QB's which I think depends upon if he can find another job).

I've heard (take it with a grain of salt) that Christensen is being given the opportunity to look elsewhere and that it is possible that the new OC picks a couple of new coaches on that side of the ball. You realistically could have Christensen, Spav, and McKinney gone.

Banks is the only guy I would be certain is coming back on that side of the ball with Moorehead being a possible second.

EDIT: I see 2012 beat me to the question...

Realistically, do we need an OL coach? Every one of our offensive lineman played like they received zero coaching this year. You know, except for those ridiculously complicated blocking schemes. They might be a better group overall if they coached themselves by watching how-to youtube videos about their position.

I'm thinking that the Irish had to eat dog turds during the potato famine. So you would have less of a problem eating canine feces than most. In addition, you may already have developed a taste for it through regular consumption. Perhaps it's a mental disorder that's caused this. because....

Why else would anybody in their right mind ever offer to eat a dog turd?!?! Under any circumstance, you f-ing weirdo!!

I know the ability to read something and decipher sarcasm is a lost art but did I really need to say sarcasm when I said I'll eat a dog turd if spurrier is hired.

Spurrier is reaching out to Jerry Rice to coach WR and Emmitt Smith to coach RB. Rice is hesitant without seeing the facilities first hand, but is scheduling a visit. We should know something soon.

I have seen pieces of this quote posted here, but not the whole thing, so I thought I would share:

"I doubt if I'll ever be a head coach again, but maybe coach a high school team or something. Who knows what will come in the future," Spurrier said during Tuesday's press conference.

"I don't know if coaching is completely over or not. It's fun being on a team. I might be a consultant for someone. I doubt if I'll ever be a head coach again, but who knows. I doubt it. Being on a team is fun."

He used the word consultant. What exactly is the NCAA's rule on # of coaches/consultants?
