Auburn hires Scot Loeffler as offensive coordinator after recent coaching stops at Temple, Florida
Published: Sunday, January 22, 2012, 6:25 PM Updated: Sunday, January 22, 2012, 6:26 PM
Charles Goldberg/Auburn Bureau
AUBURN, Alabama -- Auburn has hired Tim Tebow's quarterback coach at Florida as its new offensive coordinator, the newspapers of al.com have learned.
Scot Loeffler is coming to Auburn after spending the 2011 season as Temple's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
Loeffler was Florida's quarterback coach in 2009, Tebow's last season, and was also with the Gators in 2010.
He's been a coach for 13 years, including the 2008 season with the Detroit Lions.
He'll be on the recruiting trail Monday morning.
Loeffler replaces Gus Malzahn, 40 days after the former offensive coordinator was named the head coach at Arkansas State.
The hiring of Loeffler completes a reshuffling of Gene Chizik's two most high-profile positions. Auburn hired former Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder as its defensive coordinator earlier this month. The move gives Auburn coordinators with both college and NFL experience.
Loeffler's 2009 Florida quarterbacks led the nation in passing efficiency which included 3,305 yards for 28 touchdowns.
Loeffler, 37, played quarterback at Michigan from 1993-96, and was the Wolverines' quarterback coach from 2002-007. He was Central Michigan's quarterbacks' coach from 2000-01.

Loeffler???? I hardly know her.

I'm not bitching about the hire, but...
Why did it take Chizik two fucking weeks to hire Loeffler?

I'm neutered over this hire. :facepalm:
-
Could be a great hire. But I also wonder about the timing, surely Chizik could have had this guy 2 hours after Gus left. Anyone remember what type of offense Temple ran this season?
-
Temple had the 67th ranked offense. However this guy seems good at developing QBs and lord knows we need that. While not a splash hire, I'm gonna hold on my opinion till I actually see him coach at Auburn.

Nobody knew who the fuck Jim McElwain was until he came to Alabama.

Multiple Offense (Shotgun with under the Center type plays).
Coach Loeffler is a hell of a QB Coach (Big Splash for a QB Coach)....as for the OC? No idea, since last year was his first as an OC at Temple, but Temple did have a very successful season offensively last year.
The reason for waiting on announcing him as the OC has more to do with him not being Coach Chizik's first choice (it was more than likely Cam Cameron or Ver Steeg) and Coach Chizik was going to do everything he could to get his first choice, but wasn't able to land him (IMO).
Coach Loeffler has SEC coaching experience and he's a good recruiter too (landed Ryan Mallett at Michigan).
-
WOW! I am so Meh'd up right now, I just pissed myself.

Nobody knows who the fuck he is now, you goat teabagger.

Yep. BTDub, 67th was better than Auburn, and at Temple. Honestly, I don't care what they ranked, it's Temple. The guy is young had success coaching QBs in college and NFL. He's got a lot of experience to draw from to put together an offense. He has SEC experience.
I do question why it took so long. I'm sure when Loeffler's phone rang as soon as Chiz said, "This is Gene Chizik" Loeffler said "YES!"
I figure other candidates took other jobs, turned him down, OR he got tired of waiting on one of those names still in the playoffs.
Anyway...we now have an OC.

Yup...now he needs to make a stop over in Maryland, on his way to Auburn, and speak to Stefon Diggs....maybe bring a couple duffle bags full of "Love", make Diggs say yes.

I may be ahead of myself, but weren't the 2008 Lions the first team to ever go 0-16?
Yes, I was correct. That is the team considered by many to be the worst in the history of the NFL. I probably wouldn't mention that when talking him up.
Just sayin'.

Still can't see why it took so long, but, well it don't matter now.
Look at this, and it might tell you why he was chosen, and who our QB will be next year.

IMO, I'm happy that Coach Chizik's first choice feel through. Auburn needs a bigtime QB Coach and that's exactly what Coach Loeffler is. The other candidates had zero coaching and recruiting experience in the SEC. Coach Loeffler has Florida ties too. I'm just interested to see how successful he can be as the OC in the SEC.
I guess that would be a question mark with all of the Coaches being looked at.

I would have preferred more OC experience, but the QB coach is intimately involved in game planning and play calling. I do like he's a QB coach. Coached some good ones too. SEC experience, and experience recruiting the south.

i am sooo excited about the potential...bunch of 2 and 3 stars filling out our recruiting class. temple? i thought they were a basketball school.

-

Yeah, me too. Oh well, I'm glad we now have our coaches in place...now Coach Chizik and Staff can now close out this year's signing class and the offensive recruits know what type of offense they'll be playing in.

Three yards and a cloud of zuzzhazhuzzhmm

Here's what I do like. He's been exposed to lots of different systems and isn't married to the "offense de jure" or some offense he "invented". That said, from that vid I posted, it looks like he's sort of headed down the same road as Meyer/Mullen.
I think it's pretty much a forgone conclusion Frazier is going to be the guy, and Mosley needs to find a new home as far as I'm concerned.
Now, Loeffler needs to stop in Montgomery, pick up some untraceable cash cards from Uncle Milty, get his ass in some living rooms of the Off. players still left on the board, and take Trooper and the bag man with him.
-
The pedigree is there, and renowned NFL quarterback coach George Whitfield believes Auburn landed a good one. "He's well respected in the college and the NFL ranks, and Auburn just landed a very, very talented coach," said Whitfield. "He's a talented both coach-teacher, and communicator. He's a players coach, a young, energetic guy. I think the Auburn fans will be excited."

He probably actually knows about Loeffler, but doesn't understand college football/Auburn fans who were more concerned with a "home run name" than anything else.

Just sayin'.
Yeah, he was the QB Coach...not the OC. His QBs that he could choose from were Daunte Culpepper (came out of retirement), Dan Orlovsky, Drew Henson & Drew Stanton. Those aren't winning QBs.

Tebow's new QB coach: Scott Loeffler
USA Today:
When it came time for Urban Meyer, head coach of the defending national champion Florida Gators, to offer some advice to his new quarterbacks coach on how to handle Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Tim Tebow, the message was pretty simple.
"Coach Meyer said just don't screw him up," Scot Loeffler said.
All well and good. But we know the real reason that Meyer brought in Loeffler: to help Tebow become more "NFL Ready." And Loeffler has some serious bona fides, including his years doing wonderful work with quarterbacks at the University of Michigan (like Chad Henne, Tom Brady, and Brian Griese), though his encore was spent this past season with the Detroit Lions just trying to teach his quarterbacks the simple things, like, you know, not running out of the back of the end zone for a safety to seal a loss.
As I have previously written, Tebow needed to put "becoming a better pro prospect" at the head of his "To Do" list. And many -- including Tebow in the USA Today piece -- cited Loeffler's hiring as a reason he came back. But I'm not so sure that this is the perfect marriage. I mean, I think for Florida Gator fans even a slightly confused or tinkered with Tebow is better than the next guy, but what about for Tebow?

I mean, I think for Florida Gator fans even a slightly confused or tinkered with Tebow is better than the next guy, but what about for Tebow?
Loeffler can definitely help in a few major areas: footwork (avoiding the famed and slightly ridiculous "spread quarterback" label); reading coverages; accuracy; and the ability to make a wider variety of throws than Florida asks him to. But again, as I said before, I'm not so sure that he wouldn't get all this and more actually in the pros. All he turns down is a set amount of money (but not a "fixed" amount because an increase in Tebow's draft stock is purely speculative), aside from of course, more college glory and the "college experience," which did not serve people like Matt Leinert all that well and Tebow has achieved all that is humanly possible in college.
And I still think it ignores a big drawback for Tebow: all the hits he takes. He essentially takes hits like a runningback does, and the studies are voluminous showing that runners deteriorate, not so much over the course of a season, but at some point in their careers.
So the real parties in interest, Florida and Urban Meyer, now must try to satisfy two masters: win games but also make Tebow more of a "pro-guy." Do you try to call fewer runs for him? Do you emphasize different points of the game? Do you take some of the (limited) time Loeffler gets to spend with him and dedicate that to pro-style stuff rather than the immediate gameplan?
Don't get me wrong, Tebow becoming a better dropback passer can only help Florida, and Loeffler is a very good coach and is a great addition no matter what. But for Florida's sake I hope they don't fixate on this too much, and for Tebow's sake I hope he isn't expecting more focus on his pro prospects than might be appropriate. Time will tell.
-
You've sorted out his entire career, yep.
If you're going to say he was successful in the NFL, when his only season in the NFL was on a 0-16 team, I'm going to mention it.

Token, if you take Saban's first 4 years at Mich. St, and 2 years at Miami, he's a .500 coach. Just sayin'.

I'm not judging his career by one job. I'm just pointing out that being the QB coach for 1 year on an 0-16 NFL team does not equal a successful NFL coach.
Really, I was just busting your balls because of your offensive prowess. And I know how much you enjoy someone finding one shitty performance and harping on it. But, my point still stands.
-
Cleveland Browns were 6-10, 7-9. 7-9, 11-5 during Saban's tenure as DC. More suckage.

He was not worthy of Lorde Sabinz extended attention and thus had to come to the cow college.
-
I have no idea how good this guy can be, but he's the opposite of the "spark" everybody thought he was going to be.
Why wait for a guy from Temple? Who knows?
But it's going to be very easy to negatively recruit against him over the next few days. It's apparent that unless Chizik already has quiet commitments from our top targets, we can expect to see them go elsewhere.
And Token's right. If Chizik, Loeffler, or anyone else tries to pitch his NFL experience to recruits, they'll be laughed out of the room.
-
I believe Loeffler was the first OC name that was actually confirmed to interview. His name popped up about 3 weeks ago.

So, is being a "who the fuck is that" hire, and coaching Marc Bulger and Gus Ferotte to an 11-23 record over 2 years something you think gets kids excited about going to turd town? Or maybe it was Pussmeier's 4-8 record at Wash. St. that wows recruits.
Jim McElweenie was the QB coach for the 2006 Oakland Raiders. They went 2-14, but then again, that's not 0-16 is it?
Just sayin'.
-

The simple point being made is, you said the guy was successful at coaching QBs while he coached in the NFL.
Nobody is saying the guy is guaranteed to suck ass because of how things went with Detroit. The only point that Token and THS are making is that is a fail statement that you made, because his only year in the NFL, the team that he coached QBs for did not win a single game.

Well, as someone who has eaten his hat on more than one occurrence, I'm content to wait and see on both these hires.
I don't feel bad or good about them. They are both "fine" in my opinion.

Not that my opinion really matters, but I think the DC hire was solid. I think the timing of the OC hire makes it a little bit of a headscratcher, but I wouldn't get too caught up with names. Hopefully with this behind AU, you guys can pull in some recruits. Signing day is in 9 days, and you guys have like 10 slots to fill. Unless Chizik has alot of silent commits in hand (which I'm sure he has at least a few), that shit could get ugly quick.

I said he's been successful coaching in his collective career which includes both NFL and college you goat fucker. And FWIW even bringing up "his record" as a position coach is fucking stupid. But, I predicted just that type of idiotic bullshit before the hire was even made.

Not to defend JR but yall are grasping at straws a bit. He was QB coach at Detroit not the Head Coach or even an OC. See what other coordinators can do with Dan Orlovsky and aging Daunte Culpepper.
QB Dan Orlovsky GS-7 143 for 255, 1,616 yards, 8 td, 8 int, & 7 rushes for 29 yards and 0 td
QB Daunte Culpepper GS-5 60 for 115, 786 yards, 4 td, 6 int, & 12 rushes for 25 yards and 1 td
Just to give an example, Christian Ponder who started in 10 games (and whom I though played pretty well for the Vikings) was 158 for 291 1,853 yards 13 tds 13 int.
as for Culpepper, even Lord Sabinz himself could do nothing with him.

Nobody is solely blaming your guy for that abortion of a team. Nobody is saying he will be a shitty OC because of it. The guy may be the best QB coach/OC that ever lived. The only point that was made was that "successful" is probably a mischaracterization of his career as a QB coach in the NFL. You can quantify the characterization of his success on the college level when you see a guy like Tebow, etc, that he coached. Hard to quantify "successful in the NFL" as none of the QBs you coached while you coached in the NFL won a game.

See and I would say that he was successful based on what he had to work with. Again tomato...goat

Not to defend JR but yall are grasping at straws a bit. He was QB coach at Detroit not the Head Coach or even an OC. See what other coordinators can do with Dan Orlovsky and aging Daunte Culpepper.
QB Dan Orlovsky GS-7 143 for 255, 1,616 yards, 8 td, 8 int, & 7 rushes for 29 yards and 0 td
QB Daunte Culpepper GS-5 60 for 115, 786 yards, 4 td, 6 int, & 12 rushes for 25 yards and 1 td
Just to give an example, Christian Ponder who started in 10 games (and whom I though played pretty well for the Vikings) was 158 for 291 1,853 yards 13 tds 13 int.
as for Culpepper, even Lord Sabinz himself could do nothing with him.
Maybe you're not defending me, but you just made my point for me.

Seriously - its like you write what I am thinking.
When did a QB coach (with 3 shitty QBs) start becoming 100% responsible for the overall record of a team? Belichik himself couldn't have done shit with those 3 QBs. You guys also conveniently leave out the fact that the 2008 Lions team had BY FAR the WORST defense in the NFL that year. They allowed 517 points (32.3 PPG). This is the second highest point total allowed in a single season in NFL history, trailing only the 533 allowed by the 1981 Baltimore Colts.

Auburn just landed Homerun hire with Coach Loeffler and all you fuckers want to try and tear him down before he coaches his first game at Auburn.
At first I wasn't sure about Loeffler, I was kinda meh...but after reading comments from people that know what they're talking about, I think Auburn just landed a Diamond in rough. I'm interested to hear some statements from the recruits that meet him. I gotta feeling that he's going to do real well in the prospect's livingroom.
-
A sensitive bunch, some of you are.

I'm just gonna say this about our new OC. Obviously he is somewhat unknown but he has definitley placed in the right situations and around the right people. He has had his hands in some pretty good offenses and dealt with some pretty damn good players. The guy apparently is well enough known in the coaching circles to get interviews with several big time programs. That tells me he is turning heads in his direction. I mean hell, he has done pretty well for himself even at Temple. He has done well enough to get an interview with Chizik, on the same list mind you as several NFL offensive minds. I think we have something here that many of us will be very pleased with once we see him in action, and see what kind of recruits he starts bringing in. Maybe even for once get that elite QB that we rarely see at Auburn. I am not one that thinks this guy his Chiziks first choice but I certainly can respect that fact that he was a choice and I have trust that Chizik knows whats up.
Also:

Loeffler says Tom Brady called him last night to congratulate him and tell him, "You've got one of the best jobs in America."

It's like I said before, you build up the O-line and get top flight skill position players in place, Loeffler or Van Der Sloot or Daffy Duck will look like jeenyus' at OC.

I don't know how successful he will be. I am hopeful that he will be based on Chizik's track record and one other thing. In the mid eighties we needed someone who could coach quarterbacks. Dye went and got a QB coach that eventually turned into the OC and did well at both.
We forget that moving from a QB coach to OC is a pretty natural progression.

Sullivan also spent five seasons doing radio color commentary for Auburn football games before joining the staff at Auburn in 1986 as quarterbacks coach under head coach Pat Dye. He worked with AU quarterbacks Jeff Burger, Reggie Slack, and Stan White during his six years at Auburn.

Those are three names I enjoy; Burger, Slack and White

Burger might have been the one sacking..but then, doing something like that would probably earn him a one play suspension.

I remember Dye telling the Warden about it and saying that he suspended him the one play because the professor was making a mountain out of a mole hill. He saw the paper and Jeff should have been penalized for not doing his footnotes correctly but that was it. He listed the work he supposedly plagiarized as a source but did not footnote the quote. Shit I'm guilty of doing that before and who truly thinks if you are plagiarize something that you are dumb enough to provide where it came from?

Not a fan of the Temple offense because I want Auburn to recruit bigtime WRs.
It certainly will not suit Pike's skillset.
I like Loeffler's statement concerning special teams and his offense working well with the defense but there is really nothing to see but a bio and some very nice comments from those that he has encountered. There is really no way of knowing what to expect from his resume' based on a fullback transfer.

From CBSSportsblog: Ranking the SEC West Coordinator Hires
http://eye-on-collegefootball.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/24156338/34541884?source=rss_blogs_NCAAF (http://eye-on-collegefootball.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/24156338/34541884?source=rss_blogs_NCAAF)
AUBURN
2011: Gus Malzahn offensive, Ted Roof defensive.
Departures: Malzahn is now the head coach at Arkansas State; Roof avoided a potential dismissal by first taking the UCF DC's job, then rejoining old Duke colleague Bill O'Brien at Penn State.
2012: Temple OC and longtime Michigan/Florida QB coach Scot Loeffler will run the offense, Atlanta Falcons DC Brian VanGorder the defense.
Thumbs up/down? Up. VanGorder is a smash hire with a successful track record both in the NFL and the SEC, the sort of coach who should return the Tigers' defense to respectability in a hurry. Loeffler is a young, highly respected up-and-comer who's been due for an OC gig like Auburn's, but his pro-style leanings and early talk about "helping our defense and special teams" signals a wrenching shift in philosophy from Malzahn's no-huddle spread. Is he sharp enough to overcome what could be some serious transitional hiccups?
-
For what it's worth, I was talking to a friend yesterday who is a Florida booster. I asked him what he thought about Loeffler and he told me that the kid was specifically brought to Florida to work with Tebow...nothing else.
That scared me at first, but later when I started reading off Temple's offensive statistics from last season, he chimed in and said that was impressive considering he was working for Addazio. He had zero good words about him, and still claims they would have won the SEC and MNC in 2009 with even a decent OC.
