    Heres a little info on OC Fuente

    Fuente is the CO-OC for TCU and has produced some impressive attacks his past two seasons since being promoted. He's a young guy likely looking to grow his career and was a candidate for the Clemson OC vacancy until Chad Morris was hired. TCU ranked 10th in rushing and 53rd in passing this year, while putting up an impressive 41.64 points per game. He's given much credit for the development of Andy Dalton and previously coached QBs while doubling as OC at Illinois State university. As OC he commanded an offense ranked in the top 10 in 2005 and 2006. Offense would be described as a "power spread" which seems to fit Miles' tastes very well.

    Positives
    -Young, hungry coach with something to prove
    -Rising star in the coaching industry
    -Has coached RBs and QBs and runs a balanced attack


    ....from Tigerdroppings .com

    Negatives
    -Perhaps lack of heavy competition... but his offenses have produced at every stop thus far.

    You really should link to the source when you post these cut and past items and cite the author.

    Yes, you would. TCU has run a very balanced attack over the past 2 years.

    I think this would be a great hire when you consider what this guy is credited for doing with Andy Dalton.

    IS FUENTE GONNA BE GOOD FOR US OR IS IT BETTER TO GO WITH BILLY G OPINIONS?????

    I like the idea of Fuente but I also think billy g deserves a chance.... if im not mistaken i heard he has a pretty big say in the play calling but maybe its time for a change...

    Really?

    Passing game coordinator. He was 100 % responsible for our ability to PASS the ball this year.

    Jefferson has 17 TDs in 2009. He had 3 in 2010 (I still don't count that 1 yard forward pitch on the option play a passing TD).

    Seriously?

    Aside from what he was able to do with Andy Dalton, as OC and QB Coach at Illinois State, his QB Luke Drone led the conference in passing and was named to first-team All-Gateway Conference honors.
