If he does leave it would be of the norm for him and his brief stay at UNLV. 
It will probably change somewhat once he gets his HC gig. But still his longest stay of 13 years in coaching over 12 schools is 1 time at Howard when he was there for 2 seasons. Always looking to find ways to the next level. New year, new school 

Yep, for sure. And we knew that going in, it’s just been really fun to watch his offense play out. Nothing boring about it, lol.

Would be a solid choice by UTEP if they go with Marion

If UTEP can get him.  He should have some decent options.  

UTEP is a tough gig - Good luck to him if he takes that job -- My thinking is the next step would be OC at some power program where he can see if his offense is really all that 

UTEP tossing the HC'ing job his way is a bit of a flyer IMO

Former Baylor OC Grimes, who is out of a job and has El Paso connections, might be a good fit. 

Marion has better options.   Best fit would be Penn St OC and then head coach P5 after 2 years.  If he can help Penn St score and win against Ohio St and Michigan, he would be looking at blue blood HC jobs. 

Bye Bye, Best of luck! !! May the MWC survive, and prosper

100% agree - Think Marion would be better off in the long term to take a P4 OC job & then if he clicks there he's a shoe in for a HC job at a solid program

Bit risky to take on something like UTEP as your 1st HC gig where success is going to be tough  --- if he flames out at UTEP,  he's back to square one in about 4 or 5 seasons

Marion has worked wonders wherever he has been.   He really is great   

But leave UTEP to someone else.

The problem is Marion’s resume is pretty thin. Any decent job is going to require a little more, ditto a total program rebuild like Utep. A local El Paso sports reporter seems to suggest Marion is a finalist at SDSU. 
 

He’s got a lot of competition for each of those jobs as well, so it’s no guarantee he is gone. Feels like it will be Utep or SDSU, two rebuilds and schools that would take a high risk chance on him. Keep in mind, he interviewed with Tulsa (as did Odom) last year and didn’t get the gig. Odom supposedly turned it down because they didn’t offer enough for staffing.

Marion to OU as OC?

https://sports.yahoo.com/unlvs-brennan-marion-emerges-ou-152508890.html

A pretty good fit.  Marion is a cowboy at heart and usually wears a cowboy hat walking around and owns a ranch.  

OU has a history of adopting innovative offenses and has talent and speed.

Bye Bye, Best of luck! !! May the MWC survive, and prosper

Dan Hawkins retiring from UC-Davis to spend time in Idaho with family.

Tim Plough (former Boise OC and current Cal TE coach) in talks to become next Davis HC. I wonder if he’d consider AA for DC, LMAO.

Also have to wonder if Hurricane Hank is looking for a solid UC-Davis MBA to finish his football career.
