REPORT: TCU Offensive Coordinator Kendal Briles targeted for SEC role
After three seasons in Fort Worth, TCU OC is reportedly the top candidate to return to the SEC

You have to figure Donati lined up the interview being that he was AD at TCU when Briles was hired
If you werenāt a freeloader and were on the insiders forum youād know all of this here lol. Is there a reason not to subscribe?
Briles is NOT garret Riley. Heās turned every offense heās ever coached into a top offense drastically.
Wait. If we weren't freeloaders, we'd be on the insider's board where they've been told the same information that is posted on the free board?

Reminds me of the Garret Riley situation. In another thread, we discussed an article from an enemy site that had him as a candidate for a HC gig. Dabo was encouraging it, so he wouldnt have to fire Riley when he hired the new OC.
This move may be a face saver.
That being said, hes still an upgrade at OC in my opinion.
Meh. When words like premier and potent are used itās not exactly what I would call damning. Mostly word salad in that article; I would have liked to have read some elaboration about the āabhorrentā running game though.
When I first saw the rushing stats, that was a red flag to me. But then I read this article, BEFORE you posted it and felt much better, Briles inherited the OL coach who came to TCU with Dykes from SMU. The OL coach is Dykes guy,
One positive, he inherited the crappy OL, and ran up a bunch of passing stats to try and compensate for the lack of running game.
Time to crap or get off the pot. There is no reason why it always takes Shame so long to do this. Unless he gets a lot of, "thanks, but no thanks," which is what I suspect.
And what will he inherit if he comes here? Not to be a debbie downer, but Briles might be jumping from one frying pan to another.
We need OL, we need RBs, we might need a fresh start at QB, right?
Oh yeah. Im saying he may very well inherit the same thing here. It could be a positive that he adapted to similar circumstances at another school.
I would prefer a creative, pass first offense. The front sevens are too good in the SEC to just line up and run. Carolina needs a unique offensive identity. This would also attract more top end QB prospects.
Dunno what his run game schemes are, but Shawn Elliott's zone blocking/run schemes helped us win a lot of games once upon a time.
We do have a few WRs that have the speed to make plays in the open field if we can just get the ball to them. But as noted about TCU, you still need a red zone running game.
Not completely sold on our OLINE coaching staff. It's probably a combo of coaching and recruiting shortcomings.
To anyone having concern, I would point out that Briles has been Offensive Coordinator at:
Baylor for his Dad, Art;
Florida Atlantic for Lane Kiffin;
Houston;
Florida State;
Arkansas and
TCU.
If his production and reputation was similar to Satterfield/Loggains/Shula, would he have been hired over and over and over again as Offensive Coordinator? I don't think so.

Talk to Drew Cronic at Navy
Just one of many articles out there praising Cronic's offense

Briles or Cronic sound good to me. Looks like he had a āCo-offensive coordinatorā at TCU? Iāve never been a fan of that since Brad Scott had that here and there were issues between the Co-OCās from what I remember. Iām sure Briles would rather have solo title which he obviously would.
Hopefully it's not like when Nebraska "stole" Satterfield from us.
The guy has other history beyond TCU, so I think its safe to say he'd be the best OC hire Shane has ever made. But thats like winning a height contest in a room full of midgets.
USC had a similar approach to that situation; but in place of gaudy passing stats they compiled some impressive sack numbers.
Their rushing attack was better then ours according to espn stats.plus there Qb was top5 and there receiver top 5.
They're not gonna get Briles, too cutting edge. Beamer's looking for another boring fossil.
This is just smoke to excite the fanbase for a little while.

Don't forget we struggled with OL when we had Wolfie. Wolfie went to 'Bama and was just hired by Kiffen/LSU (away from UK).
But also consider scheme. I don't know what we were running with Shula, but the zone blocking scheme that Elliott brought from App St, is what helped Marcus do so well, especially our red zone run game.
That zone run game plus the HBC's Fun'n'Gun passing game was bread and butter for us.
Obviously we need a better offensive line.
However, I noticed a difference this year when Shawn Elliott took over for Teasly.
The false starts were not as frequent and I think we had fewer sacks.
This is the best coaching news I have heard regarding /concerning South Carolina since SOS broke.
To me this is a coup. This guy is a coaching talent. I can't believe SB is bringing in a talent like this....but I guess he figures it's now or never for being upstaged? This is GREAT NEWS.....and I hope it actually happens. This changes a whole lot.
Yes-it'll help recruiting....but with his offense you don' t HAVE to have the elite players to score points, be explosive and stay on the field.

I'd really prefer a block-first offense. Without that, it won't matter much who the OC is.
Maybe recommended by Donati, coming from TCU- and if it becomes official we probably know who our interim head coach is if Shane is shown the door.
No more runs up the middle for 0 yards would be nice.
But you do need a QB who is an accurate mid-range passer. Here's hoping we have one in the cupboard if this ends up being who comes to town.
Actually, that might be an improvement over the negative yardage plays we saw with regularity in short-yardage situations.
