Maybe, but being an OC means you have a huge amount of time consumed by working with the position coaches and game planning. QBs can't be the primary focus for a coordinator.

USC Practice Week: 14 November Coach Rhule
- Thread starter Red Reign
- Start date
These are shockingly stupid questions. It looks like trolling to 'inquiring minds'.
DH has coached quarterbacks along with being OC at his previous stops. Channeling the offense through coaching quarterbacks makes more sense than diverting your attention from coaching QBs to say, coaching tight ends, for example.
In all seriousness, DH has been an elite developer of quarterbacks. It would be foolish to not take advantage of that.

Coaching TEs isn't really much in the way of position coaching. As a very wise man pointed out, TEs get coached by the Line coach for blocking technique and scheming, and by the receivers coach for catching and route running. It's why we see grad assistants do it with many programs.
We have a guy coming in, unfamiliar with the position coaches and the players, trying to use his knowledge to make an offense, he can't revamp in 3 games, successful. Even if he were to take the job as OC next year, it would be a year of 'training and getting to know the program', so being a full time QB coach might or might not be in the cards.
Agree with this.

I hear you. Might be a bit much on his plate in the current situation. But if as things evolve DH is not working extensively with the quarterbacks it will be a tremendous wasted opportunity.
IMO if DR isn't close to 100% I'd like them to start HH. With time for DR heal and to get DH more comfortable with the offense i think we'd have a better shot at beating Wiscy and Iowa instead of rolling a gimpy DR out there against USC then needing HH to beat Wiscy or Iowa.
Please don't insult other posters. This message board is better for all of us if we keep things respectful.
I informed him of something he may have been unaware of.
Your turn; you worry about you, as I've read enough of your posts to know you may also be unaware of the questionable nature of your posts.
Dana H has a buy out from his previous head coaching job per Wikipedia;
“Houston agreed to pay $14.8 million in buyout money, but his deal includes a mitigation clause which may reduce the amount if he takes another job.“.
I wonder if the reduction is based upon him taking a head coaching job or if it applies to any job he takes? If he isn’t dinged for taking Offensive Coordinator position, or if his mitigation is at a reduced rate for OC vs HC, that may be what enables him to take this job now? Regardless, I’m pleased coach Rhule made the move and hopeful for improved offensive production over the remaining 3 games, all of which are winnable.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe that any reduction in buyout should mirror what they are being paid in their new role. Bo Pelini famously took a very low salary from Youngstown as to put Nebraska in a position of continuing to pay him the lion's share of his buyout. Maybe contracts are written to limit that now.
