I've heard from someone I know that has a working relationship with some of the coaches that this guy is one of the front runners for the OC job at the moment. He also has significant interest from Northwestern.
I'm currently watching him coach the FCS National Championship against Montana and I would definitely take him. He runs a more modern offense out of the pistol/gun that incorporates some read option and RPO's. However it is still a run first offense that fits with Kirk's values.
