Any names being thrown around as OC Candidates? Time frame for filling the position?

Dennis Erickson, Bush Hamdan, there was one other I think but the name is escaping me.
I imagine it will be pretty quickly, wouldn't be surprised if we know something this week, if not next at the latest.

I'd be thrilled with Bush Hamdan, I believe he was Choate's first choice at OC when he first arrived.

Hamdan got hired by Missouri.

He did, but I'm just going by what Colter said on his show which was last week, after he was hired. He wouldn't be the first guy to take a job and then leave within a month.

New offensive assistant Bush Hamdan agreed to a two-year deal with an initial salary of $400,000 ($300,000 base plus $100,000), but if he's still on staff on March, 1, 2021, his non-salary compensation increases to $250,000, putting his full salary to $550,000. He made $750,000 last year as Washington’s offensive coordinator.

I'd add DeNarius McGhee as the most likely candidate if Choate decides to promote from his existing staff instead of hiring from outside.

I don’t see DMac as an OC anytime soon.

He may or may not be ready to make that jump, but I thought that if we're going to throw out names like Dennis Erickson as potential new OCs that he should at least be mentioned in a thread of candidates. That said, my guess is that the new OC will be someone that none of us have ever heard of at the current time.

Unless Colter counts as one of us. One assumes that he knows the names of the major candidates.

I would be fine with DM as OC. His resume is stronger than MM was when he took over. DM has experience reading defenses and running an offense as a player. From what I observed he excelled at it.
Edit ... Just heard the Texans news. CONGRATULATIONS DeNarius. Tremendous opportunity. You will be greatly missed.

What do you think about Jonathan Amosa getting the RB coach job?

Could work. I also heard we aren't retaining Erik Frazier and Nate Potter is a rumored candidate on the assistant coach market in the Mountain West market as well. Only holdover from the offensive coaching staff may be Brian Armstrong.

Oof! Is Frazier just moving on? I thought he did a good job.

Some of the players started following this coach on Twitter. Bio says Montana State Offensive assistant. Think this is more of an intern hire than full time coordinator
