Sean Gleeson in play for OC

[Bulls On Parade]

Looks like a good OC imagine he would like having better athletes to run his system.  

Not sure how good a recruiter he would be but this type of offense like said would be easier to sell than the HB dive.

White guy from ivy league isnt gonna make recruiting waves for us eh?

He might be an excellent recruiter. The Ivy league has some strong recruiting rules and limitations on student athletes. To highlight a few of them

There is a weighted score that indicates about how the athlete would perform academically at that school. This involves SAT I, SAT II, and G.P.A. This rates the athletes in relation to the average student at the school. Athletes are then classified as A, B, C, or D. Each school can only recruit a specific number of students in each classification. The number of students in each classification is set by the conference and is individually for each sport and school. Thus the Princeton number of A, B, C, and D athletes may be different from Harvard. This means that recruiting is very specific as to the caliber of the student.

Students athletes must be admitted by the dean of the university. Coaches can try to persuade the dean for a specific athlete but most must stand on their own. This is similar to our academic review board.

There is a limit to the total number of student athletes a university can have for all sports. Thus, scholarships must be parceled out between all the sports that the school offers.

They use a most likely letter instead of NLI, which means that student athletes are not legally bound to the school. They can change their minds even after signing a most likely letter.

These rules indicate that he needs to be sure about his recruited athletes academically before recruiting them and needs to secure commits early. Because of the most likely rule coaches need to constantly keep in touch with their recruits to keep them on board. They also tend to emphasize the academics of the school rather than the more traditional amenities. If he is a good recruiter in the Ivy league I think he can adjust to the easier recruiting rules of FBS and FCS.

Not only but the kids he was recruiting had to be sold on his offense and the school rather than NFL aspirations etc. The guys probably kills in a room with a kid and their parents about how he's going to feature them in the offense and make sure thee get a great education. Also, if his offense comes here and tears it up that will do a lot of the selling for him.

The offense is very similar to most spread offenses and should suit USF better than the previous offense.

He probably won't be the best at recruiting Florida but he would be able to open doors to player from other states; New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan.

I don't know many he is responsible for, but there are 12 Florida kids on their roster. Princeton is getting kids from all over the country.

Im more comfortable with and still prefer Bell, but Im cool with this guy. Im impressed with the creativity of our search for an OC. I feel whomever we get will be and one and done if we have any type of success.

Watched Priceton-Columbia. Princeton runs the O out of all kinds of formations. Somebody mentioned the importance of a Dual Threat QB in this Offense, and that definitely would help. Lots of designed QB runs. I still think BB can run this offense, but we do have two Dual Threat options on the roster. A couple of the formations they use look a lot like some of the ones used by Taggart in the GCO.

Princeton finished the season Top 10 and undefeated, and didn't make the 24 team playoff apparently. Looks like their last regular season game was their last game of the season altogether.

But due to Ivy League rules that do not allow its teams to play in the football postseason, the Tigers were not one of the teams getting a chance to play for a national championship.

From that same article:

“I think most of the ADs are on board,” Surace said “We just have to educate because the presidents are brilliant people, ours is. But when Cornell’s president is worried that we are going to have to play Alabama, they haven’t done a great enough job educating their president. We are not in the FBS playoffs. We have got to do a better job educating them because they are brilliant and they are passionate and i love this league. It is an unknown and they don’t know the hurt that our players go through.”

Pretty funny that Cornell's president has no idea that there's an FBS & FCS, or isn't aware of which his team plays in.

That's kind of crazy that there's not an opportunity to be in the playoffs for Ivy league teams though. I guess the same can be said for G5 teams (for now), but at least they throw us a bone and give us the opportunity in a Bowl game of some sort.
