Ed "LL" Warinner (Run Game Coordinator FAU)

Decker said this line might be better than last year and we have some studs that are starting to figure it out.

FWIW, SI mentions Herman in connection with Illinois, Memphis, SMU, and Tulsa coaching vacancies. Warinner also mentioned re: Memphis.

I say pay Warriner $33 million annually.

are we even sure warriner wants to be a head coach again? maybe hes happy at OSU? hes older than Tom and has been there done that

My advise to Warriner - stay until the title game is on your resume. Every coach's stock will go up next year.

My advice to Warriner - Stay until you're ready to retire. There's no place like home, and you appear to have found a home in Columbus.

Warriner's OSU bio states: "Warinner has 10 years of experience in a coordinator position, including three years as offensive coordinator at Kansas when the Jayhawks averaged 445.5 total yards per game and 35.3 points during that three-year period." I think if Herman were to leave, Warriner (obviously with input from offense-minded Urban and a QB coach to be named later) could make a perfectly fine full-time OC if that's what he would want to stay.

As long as he's still coaching the o-line he can call the defense for all I care.
The difference in player development compared to the Bollrus is staggering.

This thread is one of a small handful that I cringe when it is bumped on the top of the new posts for fear of news/speculation of his departure. Easily one of my all time favorite coaches.

In all likelihood Herman will leave in a few years. I think it would be awesome for Warinner to move to OC until he retires.

In all likelihood Herman is gone after this season.

In all likelihood Herman is gone after this season.

I hope not. The continuity of Herman's presence in the QB room would go a long way to diffusing what is going to wind up being a great big distraction next year.

I hear what you are saying but I am not totally sold yet. Of course, if a gig like Florida comes knocking you can't really turn that down. With the way next year is setting up as a serious NC type year, there are 3 big factors in play and we don't know any of them yet.

IMO, in no certain order they are:

If we get the opportunity in the playoffs, who do we fair? If we win it all, it's easier to leave.
Which school is making the offer? The higher the cache of the school, the harder it is to say no.
How much of a raise will tOSU give him to stay for a little bit longer? The raise is a counter to the above 2 factors.

Warinner is just a cool, straight-shooter.
