I’d like Payton, but doubt he’d take the job. I’m wondering if the guys picked the wrong coach but had an interesting idea. Joseph has done well with mediocre personnel support. Could they actually get away with hiring an offensive head coach who needs defensive support.
Not just because the beat Alabama, but Josh Heupel is what Kingsbury was supposed to be. I watched him closely at UCF and he actually is creative offensively. He’s only casually involved with defense, but smart enough to stay out of the way. He’d be a risk, but he worked mediocre QBs into functional players. He likes to gamble, but he’d be fun to watch. If the there‘s any hope of saving Murray beyond Payton, it could well be Heupel. BTW. He’s a former OKLA QB.
