The Herald Times put out THIS LIST of potential candidates today.  It is for subscribers only, but I think I'm OK listing the names without the info/comments in the article (MODS - if not feel free to delete):

Robert Weiner Co-OC/QBs Toledo

Make Hart RBs Michigan

Kirk Ciarroccca Analyst W. Virginia

Justin Frye Co-OC/OL UCLA

Rod Carey ex-Coach Temple

Zack Kittley OC/QBs W. Kentucky

Also mentioned Grant Heard and Deland McCullough as 2 potential internal candidates

 

I literally thought this list was a joke. Matt Weaver did a list for Peegs it was a lot better than this one. Heard, Frye, McCullough, Hart have all never called plays, so why would we go with a bad play caller to someone who hasn't even done it.

Hart called plays situationally when he was here and I believe Heard has too. I don’t want either of them as the OC, though.

I'd be pretty good with Frye if we're keeping the other assts. I know he hasn't called plays before, but he's been around guys that do it well for awhile and he has OL bonus experience.

Heard is co-OC so I'm assuming he called plays from time to time.

He’s also the passing game coordinator and we’ve seen how that works out.

Promoting from within would be such an IU move. Because what could go wrong if you promote someone to fix the offense they were apart of.

The Kittley guy from Western Kentucky is the best off that list really. He obviously knows how to get WRs into actual space and not just to the sidelines. He's young at 30. But it'd just be nice to have an OC who can actually scheme to put guys in a place to succeed for once.

Do we think Dolson can deliver here like he did with the basketball staff? TA has limits but if we can get strong coordinators TA can fill the role at the top.

It appears he know what he is doing.

That's what I like about Willy Korn from Coast Carolina as well.  Korn was a quarterback that played at Clemson (made a start as a redshirt freshman but suffered a really bad elbow injury and was never the same.....transferred twice and then ended up at a D2 school by the end).  At Coastal Carolina, he was the wide receiver coach for a few years at a very young age, then was the quarterbacks coach, and I think the last three years has also been their co-offensive coordinator.  He's only 32 but with the path he's had to take to stay around the game (he was the #3 dual threat QB in the 2007 class and the #69 recruit overall in the nation....but loved the game so much that when the arm was shot went down to D2 to play) says a lot IMO.

Sounds like Frye is taking DeBoer's spot at Fresno.

This is heavy message board/Twitter chatter, but sounds realistic.

One of the mods on the 247 Fresno board is saying that's not happening but the UCLA board is saying that it is so who knows lol

He actually coached at IU before -- was OC during DiNardo's final season.

FWIW, A new list of candidates from TDH. 

Many of these names have been mentioned in this thread ...

Yeppers. Lot of experience, but probably not an exciting brand of offense and not a QB coach.

I don't think this is a bad idea myself.
