I don’t think so. Heard it’s a familiar name that most people probably won’t be happy with. No not Rob Turner, but a former NFL guy. And yes I know the name but would rather not say, and it’s not baseless.

OK then. Guess we'll wait for the announcement and you can tell us that that is who you are talking about.

Man, you got me looking back at some of the OC's that Lovie has worked with and well :hurl:

Brad Childress would be an interesting fit. From Illinois and went to EIU. Coached at U of I for a couple years when they went to a Rose Bowl and was O.C. when Wisconsin was at the height of their program under Barry Alverez. Something like 5 straight bowl games including two BigTen (co) champions and two Rose Bowls. Also was OC when Ron Dayne was terrorizing the conference. Saw the name somewhere else and it is interesting.
If that were to happen those other two spots better be ace recruiters. I don’t think brad has done it in almost 20yrs

better than Tice, though he's said to be retiring
Think it'd be an intriguing hire, but an uninspiring one. I hope the other two are great recruiters, as you mentioned.

I just heard Brad Childress's name linked to the Chicago Bears OC job yesterday. I doubt someone his age/prestige would come out of retirement to take the OC job at ILL.
Mike Martz or Mike Tice :hand: :hurl:would be dissapointing

My first thought was John Shoop

My brain wanted to think that but I wouldn’t let it.
Damn, glad I wasn't the only one that went there right away.
And if Childress is joining the Bears it's not as OC. They just announced (rather, ESPN) that Mark Helfrich is taking that job.

Beat me to it. I bet we know our OC today as the chips are falling
I still am hoping for the Ole Miss OC. Although that doesn't fit this description. Then the other two would have to be recruiters though. If it was Shoop, I would lose all trust in Lovie.
Not liking that hire for the Bears. Maybe as a QB coach, but not as OC.
He will essentially be a glorified QB Coach, Nagy has full control of the offense and has already said he'll be the one calling plays

It was awful down here, I had to stay home from work, open fires everywhere, gangs of lawless marauding Vol fans lurking about too!

I've been down to TN a few times, this sounds like par for the course

Well ideally we’d have a younger up and coming oc who also is an ace recruiter. An old nfl guy would most likely give us a technically competent offense and play calling but do we want more out of this hire? I think we already have a lot of NFL experience on the coaching so adding another doesn’t do much for us there.
