Mark Stoops' hiring of Eddie Gran is most significant, and most promising, not because of Gran's track record. His resume is impressive, but more importantly Gran has Stoops' complete trust.

Head coach in waiting. Sounds disgustingly familiar. Love and kisses at first then a slow moving train wreck.
I am pretty sure "Head Coach of the Offense" has zero correlation with "Head Coach in waiting". I know that experiment ended up failing with Joker, but I don't think you have to apply that with the new hire.
Lol is this post serious? Head coach of the offense is not the same as head coach in waiting. Entirely different titles and meanings. It simply means Gran has 110% control of the offense.
:thumbsdown:
Where in the hell did you get "Head Coach in waiting"
Talk about an agenda poster. Wow.
I didn't see that he stated his outlook one way or the other.....all he said was "wow", which is pretty appropriate considering our team now has two Head Coaches.
So the guy who is making over $3MM a year won't have any input on what happens when his team has the ball. Do you really believe that? Or do you simply believe in blue?
It's probably more about getting more money/responsibility for Gran to ensure that he would take the job.
It's apparent that Stoops lost trust in Dawson as the year progressed...as did 99% of fans.

Blah blah blah. The team has one head coach. Some of you are so lost Magellan couldn't find you. http://espn.go.com/college-football...owments-exchange-namesakes-new-trend-coaching
I don't believe a coach as experienced or as well regarded as Gran would leave a safe job under a stable regime at UC because of an essentially meaningless job title.
If Stoops and Gran have agreed that Gran is the "Head Coach of the Offense", I believe that is exactly what both of them believe. It remains to be seen if both men can make the arrangement work.
***Note: UK has announced that Gran's title is "Associate Head Coach: Offense." That's not quite "Head Coach of the Offense. I still believe the O will be Gran's ship to run. Stoops has to know his job depends on Gran being a success.
