Brennan Marion UNLV OC that many of us wanted the last two times.

He lead UNLV to a top 10 offense making $383,000. He is from Virginia, played JC ball at Foothill and De Anza, before staring at Tulsa, was a high school head coach in Vallejo, coached at Hawaii…. Only 37, smart, innovative, lost his starting QB early and did not miss a beat. Fantastic recruiter with East Coast, Bay Area, Texas, Hawaii ties. Great motivator. He will be a great head coach we would be lucky to grab him.

Also, check out his videos.

My preference is firing Wilcox and getting a low cost, high upside replacement. Rivera if he would do it. However, If we are keeping Wilcox, Marion at OC would give us a shot in the arm and bring us some excitement. He might even know Bloesch from Tulsa connections.

Would be a home run hire for sure. Don't they play today? Crossing my fingers

He will have a lot of good offers and we will need to give him a major deal to consider coming here

That works for me. Of course, we'd be competing against major schools for OC as well as schools, like Sam Houston, that will be interviewing him for head coach.

I have Marion on my list to possibly replace Wilcox.

But I have no idea what it will take to get Marion here for just an OC position. But it won't be cheap.

If we're going to spend an uber amount on a coordinator, I'd probably prefer Lupoi. Who I'd also feel would be a better HC in waiting.

This is my stupid stayed at a Holiday Inn moment, but I occasionally play with UNlV's playbook when playing CFB '25 and it's crazy. Its unlike an offense you've ever seen. It's basically an unbalanced triple option attack

For it to work, you need 2-3 really good RBs, a good Oline, and a QB who can run (unlv QB ran for over 700 yards). It is a run first offense.

So I guess you gotta ask yourself, is that really the type of personnel we're going to have next year?

Sounds like a winner, and someone who is a hot prospect (Indiana vacancy?). It would be interesting if we faced them in the LA Bowl.

Yes, unfortunately 2023 and 2024 were probably our windows of opportunity. He probably goes somewhere that can pay big, especially since Wilcox said he isn't firing anyone.

Just trying to have some hope.

Agree. He was one of the top options over on my "option offense" thread. Makes sense from so many different angles. It's not so optiony that the "option will never work" crowd will be dissatisfied, but it's got those elements at its core, as well as a healthy dose of zigging where everyone else is zagging + he is the creator and true master of the offense. The latter two elements are more important than the option part. And I really believe that colleges often do best when they mimic their local high school/talent identity to an extent. The Bay Area and norcal has always been a bit more run game and star running back oriented year in and year out - hopefully success on the ground would increase the likelihood of the next Lynch, Best, Harris, Mixon, etc crowd staying home.

It's also a good choice among option offenses for a team looking to build around Mendoza. I don't think he'd be well suited an under center option game (too tall), but he's got more than enough longer speed/mobility to run a sprinkling of the option in this offense, which is really all you need. I guess the "downside" is that it's more pro style than other "option" offenses - but it's still unique and HAS AN IDENTITY and has a chance to thread the needle and finally get ahead of the game schematically at Cal.

Lupoi sucks at Xs and Os, he failed as a DC at Alabama despite having top athletes. He is a great recruiter, but a marginal DC. I suspect his main utility at Oregon is recruiting, Chris Hampton runs their defense.

He would be in over his head as a HC.

Talent trumps scheme. Wilcox is a very very good defensive mind. And where has that gotten us?

Why hasn't Lupoi landed a HC job at 43 despite him having been in high-profile programs and in the NFL for the past 16 years?

I'm not even sure if he's a good position coach, given that he changed teams 3 times in 3 straight years as a DL coach in the NFL.

Can Legends just offer him JKS's unused NIL as his OC salary?

The problem is... No good offensive coordinator wants to work with Wilcox.

Was he even a starting DL at Cal? I don't remember. Certainly not one of our best. What could he possibly teach an elite NFL DL?

However, as a DL coach in college it is 99% about recruiting big fast, freakishly athletic young men to relentlessly attack every play. Sure, some technique too, but recruiting trumps everything at DL. That is why Tosh was a good college DL coach especially when he was young, recruiting to his alma mater skirting NCAA rules by using XBox and pretending his name was Polynesian and not Italian. That is why I think Andrew Browning has been such a bad DL coach for us for far too long. I'd much prefer a Cal NFL DL alum with connections in key DL recruiting areas (maybe Alualu?) that could bring in DL recruits with NFL aspirations.

I am pretty sure his standing offer to be the HC at Tulsa will be a lot more attractive.

I posted a similar thought on the insider board. The 2 QBs have over 1000 yds rushing. And threw less passes than Mendoza completed. It is a run first offense that utilizes the QB run a lot. I do not believe that fits the current Cal QB room. Nor the 2 Qbs they just tried to land.

If Mendoza wants to be an NFL QB not sure he wants an offense that emphasizes the QB run game. There will be lots of programs in the portal looking for a traditional passer. Cal played one this season in Syracuse that would be a perfect fit for Fernando.

But you gotta do what you gotta do to win. I know the board is all in on Marion. But I share your concern over fit given the personnel on hand.

He is an ex-WR and was the WR coach and passing game coordinator at Texas just a few years ago. He has been a passing game and QB coach (is the QB coach at UNLV). If you look at his track record and his videos, he is flexible depending on what he has to work with.

Sure. Sark called the plays at Texas. But if Cal decides to hire him I gotta believe his go go offense is the main reason. And it can work here. He is an excellent younger coach. I love the energy etc.

Just not sure how well his go go offense fits the current personnel.

Thst is fair. What was UNLV 's personnel under Marcus Arroyo like? Or at Howard and William and Mary when he got there?

I know this will sound like I'm one of those people that only thinks of guys with Cal connections but I promise I'm not. That said, I'd like to see if Davis Webb is interested. He was a highly sought after assistant candidate and had offers for a couple years before he retired from playing and jumped straight into NFL coaching. His connection here could help with convincing him to come help us out instead of grinding up through the NFL ranks. Giving him an OC position where he can turn around a struggling offense immediately could be enticing for him and help him jumpstart his ascent. Sean Payton has had some guys from his coaching tree go on to great things - namely Dan Campbell with the Lions and Darren Rizzi the interim for the saints (who many people thought they should hire instead of Dennis Allen and who has a great shot at becoming their full-time HC). Davis also did an amazing job with Bo Nix this season as his QB coach and has him progressing faster than many, or any, people thought he would. Davis also played in the Spav system that Wilcox is familiar with from last year and led to our best offensive season in the Wilcox era.

There's just a lot of reasons to think it could be one of those home run hires that maybe we could only be in the running for because of the Cal connection, it could even be a trial run to see if he could take over after Wilcox as a young superstar HC who could change the trajectory of this program for the future

So turns out UNLV has one of the worst red zone offenses in college football and tonight is not faring much better

Boomers have medical hearing problems so they can't hear what you're saying. smh.

Lupoi would be great. But the Boomers here are still bootytickled about what happened and will never allow it.

Elite coaches worked with him and he keeps bagging important coaching jobs, and he keeps handing Cal recruiting losses.

I think that's a common misconception about option offenses - that you need a great run blocking offensive line to make it work. Not so. That's the whole point of the concept. You can have a great running game without a great offensive line, because you are not blocking the pitch keys. Likewise with running backs, the scheme is about creating space and going where the defense isn't, so you can get great production without elite talent.

Of course, it's always better to have great talent as well, but it's not a requirement. In fact, you need better offensive line and skill position talent to win with the spread. The spread is all about isolating and winning one on one matchups. Which means…you have to win one on one matchups. And Cal often doesn't against premium competition. Again, this is not the way it works with the option - you "block" players by making the correct read, and rely less on isolation across the board.

I concede that an under center option offense would not work for Mendoza, but I really think he'd do well in this system. As someone else said, the OC is flexible. This isn't the veer where he'd be getting popped every play. It's also not running the option every play. But I think he has the mobility to run it enough as a foundational concept to make the scheme click.

Quote:

---

Webb's 37 touchdowns and 4,295 passing yards helped him become a third-round pick of the New York Giants. But it was Webb's football-obsessed brain that still makes Spavital laugh.

"It's insane," Spav says. "He's one of the most prepared humans I've ever been around."

. . .

"He will be a head coach in the NFL in no time,'" Spavital says. "And I was saying that when he was still playing for me (at Cal) in 2016."

So, he's a great "recruiter". No one (that I am aware of) has debated that point. Does not mean he would be a good HC. Or coordinator, for that matter. Obviously Saban wasn't impressed.

Well Webb was a senior in Dykes and Spavital's top 10 offense with an amazing receiving corps including a freshman All American and a good running game. Mendoza is similarly a smart kid and hard worker. It would be good to see how good he might be in two years on a great offense.

Marion's offense performance against Boise was a bit underwhelming, they were held scoreless till the last 9 min of the game. I felt that Bloesch's offense with Nando would have done better.

It would be tough to do worse.

The LA Bowl will be a good test of your hypothesis. We will see how our offenses match up. Especially UNLV's offense against our defense. Can they match what Miami did?
