Scot loeffler a possible oc candidate?
With harbaugh gone this year and weiss gone the previous year, who will bring qb development experience to our offense? I think whoever takes over as OC should have qb expertise and scot loeffler is just down the road. I havent looked at how his qbs have faired over the years or if his offense would fit. its not a hc position for scot, but it gets him back to his alma mater.

No. Lefty has a so-so OC record. If we want a MAC head coach to become coordinator, get Toledo's coach or Joe Moorehead.
January 27th, 2024 at 1:53 PM ^
Logged in to say Moorhead. Dude would maximize the shit out of an Orji/Edwards backfield.
January 27th, 2024 at 2:36 PM ^
That would be an incredible hire I'd think. With Minter gone and a few other key pieces gone, you'd have to assume that the defense will take a slight step back, so improving the offense some would be ideal.
Also, I just find it hard to believe that Michigan is going to somehow keep like seven of the current members of this coaching staff. We'll see if someone like Moorhead would be interested in working with Moore.
January 27th, 2024 at 4:50 PM ^
Gonna be hard to improve the offense. The cupboard is quite bare.
January 27th, 2024 at 5:15 PM ^
The only thing this offense needs is a QB.
We should be strong most everywhere else.
The OL will grow into their talent.
January 27th, 2024 at 6:59 PM ^
The RB, TE, OL are fine. But the WR room is barren.
January 27th, 2024 at 10:18 PM ^
I think Tyler and Semaj will prove to be dynamic.
The big IU kid would have been a great add.
With Loveland…we just need a QB
January 28th, 2024 at 11:23 AM ^
Except that the D is returning more players than the O.
January 27th, 2024 at 3:12 PM ^
I’m not as enthusiastic about Moorehead as many here are. He had a couple of good years at Penn State but he did not look particularly inspiring as Mississippi State or Oregon.
January 27th, 2024 at 3:26 PM ^
Heres a name I have not heard......BRIAN GRIESE.
January 27th, 2024 at 3:47 PM ^
It's waggle time.
January 27th, 2024 at 4:48 PM ^
Good call on Griese. How about Nick Sheridan? If he’s good enough for Bama then he must be doing something right.
January 27th, 2024 at 1:52 PM ^
No way
January 27th, 2024 at 1:53 PM ^
Kirk Campbell for OC and QB coach. I liked what he did this year. The offense seemed to flow well and the playcalling made sense in the game he called.
Opponent caveats of course, but I'd be cool with Campbell assuming that role.
[EDITED TO ADD: I would certainly welcome Moorhead if he wants to jump on board]
January 27th, 2024 at 1:54 PM ^
Not a huge fan of co-OCs but Campbell and Hart splitting duties could be good as pass game/run game coordinators.
January 27th, 2024 at 1:56 PM ^
It makes sense, as long as there is one and only one playcaller during games.
January 27th, 2024 at 1:55 PM ^
First time head coach, first time OC (old dominion doesn’t count) and first time DC(if it’s clink or elston)? Sounds like recipe for disaster. Moore has got to do better than that
January 27th, 2024 at 3:20 PM ^
Campbell aside, I agree with the general idea. Too many internal promotions in one swoop would be risky. Not everyone is going to succeed when they "level up."
January 27th, 2024 at 1:58 PM ^
I would like to get Moorhead in every way that statement could be interpreted if heard verbally instead of read.
January 27th, 2024 at 2:00 PM ^
You are a naughty koala!
January 27th, 2024 at 6:44 PM ^
It should be noted here that nearly every koala has chlamydia. People should be careful before considering giving Joe what he asks for.
January 27th, 2024 at 2:02 PM ^
We already have Orji. Stop being greedy.
January 27th, 2024 at 2:22 PM ^
I would think “Moore and Moorhead” would be a perfect fit for an offense featuring Orji.
January 27th, 2024 at 3:36 PM ^
Get Jake Butt on staff.
January 27th, 2024 at 2:38 PM ^
Genuinely confused how the OP missed that Campbell was, and apparently remains, the QB coach.
January 27th, 2024 at 2:01 PM ^
I would rather a hire blind and deaf chimp to coach QBs.
January 27th, 2024 at 2:39 PM ^
He already suggested Scott Loeffler…
January 27th, 2024 at 5:20 PM ^
Careful. You may offend Mean Joe
January 27th, 2024 at 2:01 PM ^
Brennan Marion from UNLV
January 27th, 2024 at 2:14 PM ^
Yeah, Orji/Mullings/Edwards in that system could be interesting. Apparently he and Moore know each other too... from CMU or something like that.
January 27th, 2024 at 3:19 PM ^
The Don at QB, fllanked by Mullings and Orji. Two can pass, Mullings is the cowbell. Hike it to either Don or Orji to run or pass. Try to defend this trio of talent.
January 27th, 2024 at 3:45 PM ^
That's the prescription for Michigan's offense: More cowbell.
January 27th, 2024 at 8:15 PM ^
Hasn't Mullings completed more passes in games than Orji?
January 27th, 2024 at 2:37 PM ^
Very intriguing candidate!
January 27th, 2024 at 3:15 PM ^
This was my sleeper pick. He runs an interesting offense and the coaches clearly have experience with each other going back to CMU I believe.
January 27th, 2024 at 3:46 PM ^
Marion was never at Central. As best I can tell their paths have not crossed.
January 27th, 2024 at 4:45 PM ^
Marion's tweet said he met Moore at CMU. I guess that didn't mean Marion was a coach at CMU, but somehow they did meet.
January 27th, 2024 at 2:04 PM ^
Absolute no. My son was on the equipment staff at BG. He was not impressed with Lefty and was very frustrated with the offense.
January 27th, 2024 at 3:38 PM ^
Bring back the Lloyd Carr offense! Actually, bring back the Mike DeBord offense. It will completely flummox the OSU defense.
January 27th, 2024 at 9:07 PM ^
BG's a helluva lot better than they were under the previous coach, so he's done something right there.
January 27th, 2024 at 2:05 PM ^
I can't in good conscience consider Loeffler for anything on offense....just no.
January 27th, 2024 at 2:28 PM ^
So you're open to him as DC then?
January 27th, 2024 at 2:09 PM ^
This suggestion is a total "old-Michigan" way of thinking.
January 27th, 2024 at 2:14 PM ^
Fair. I guess we could always see if RR is available.
January 27th, 2024 at 2:35 PM ^
It would never happen, but the offense finally has the right pieces for RichRod's run-spread scheme.
January 27th, 2024 at 2:40 PM ^
Why would you even say that as if there are only two options to choose from
January 27th, 2024 at 2:47 PM ^
Fair. There are more than 2 options.
January 27th, 2024 at 2:54 PM ^
You mean there is such a thing as a triple option?!
