Fwiw, the big falling out between Hawkins and Helfrich was that Helfrich wanted to implement a fast-paced offense like the Kelly and Briles systems. Hawkins was against it (no comment on whether it was because that system fit Hansen better than our other QB). After a frustrating season, Helfrich joined Kelly's Oregon staff when it was offered in the spring.
The other thing that happens is that someone like Coach Sanders would think about what type of offense he'd be challenged to play against.
So many great decisions over the years.
Like the similar case when Bieniemy was going to go to the Okie Lite system Gundy runs, spent the offseason installing it, and then ditched it in the first half of the opener when it didn't click and he & Embree were having a little tiff over "creative differences"?
Based on what I got, Bartolone will be an offensive analystSean Lewis as OC. Not sure on position. Probably WR if Bartolone is QB as expected.
Article below says he's bringing Bill O'Boyle.
O'Boyle was a RMAC HC at Chadron State and had a bunch of success. Then went to Colorado Mesa then S Illinois and South Dakota. He's been Lewis's OL Coach at Kent State.

My oh my. This staff is shaping up to be so much more than I thought possible.
I'm hoping for a Poly connection is really my only small critique at this point. So much of the toughness and family environment of great CU teams was from having Pacific Islander talent on the roster.
I mean, I’d you go 3&out in 7 seconds over and over, your defense is going to die.
At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if Kalani Sitake and The Rock will be on staff
Similar off field role at JSU, I believe

I'm not sure why I thought this was Chiv's first season as OC but it was the first thing that came to mind when I heard fast paced.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t see Prime putting an emphasis on Poly at all. Pretty much every offer right now is from the South, TX, and Midwest with a few CA guys. Maybe that’s a function of a short amount of time and leveraging what he knows, but I just don’t see him deciding to go that route just because it was how CU was successful 20-30 years ago
Don't kill my dream of Troy Polamalu filling that open position for a Safety coach.
TP loves living in Pittsburgh. He even glowingly discusses his yinzer children…

Awesome, had to look up "yinzer"!
Very cool, thank you
I think 99% of the board will have to google yinzer
So that's funny. Aye.
**** you, rick neuheisel. **** you twice.
Prime is not the touchy feely type.

Sounds like Lewis will bring his OL coach with him. Bill O'Boyle has experience in Colorado and a killer stache.

He's coming with Lewis, but is it really as OL coach? His resume is pretty light for probably the most important position coach, but maybe Lewis having a guy who understands his offense is more important.Sounds like Lewis will bring his OL coach with him.

For an offense that plays as fast as they do, I'm sure it certainly helps to have lewis and the OL coach on the same page. We are MOVING those big dudes haha
I guess by they, I mean we. Still in shock that Sean goddamn lewis is our OC
if it truthfully went down the way Howell describes, I think most people here would call it "unprofessional" (i.e. beyond "not touchy feely") if any other team had done it
I'm ok acknowledging HCDS is a fallible human being and will learn his job better and better.

That's tough to believe, they had a coaches meeting 8:15 Sunday morning.
Maybe the timing was unfortunate, but Prime even said in the team meeting (If I recall) no one was being retained.
