does Boise State run a spread offense?
I like the Utah HEAD COACH!!!
I offered my suggestions in another thread. Yes. Whittingham of Utah and Peterson of Boise State use a spread and could both be good choices. Then again, I would consider keeping UM as HC and promoting Loeffler to OC as early as today and be happy to test it out the rest of the season.

I want Gus Malzahn. He's a spread option guy but he can also tailor an offense to run smoothly with a pocket passer like Brantley.
I had overlooked him earlier. Looks like he did a good job with Cam Newton. Imagine what he could do with a similar style QB such as Trey Burton, or a dual threat Jeff Driskel.

Gus would also be a prime candidate to take over after Meyer leaves. It's only a matter of time before someone snatches him up as a head coach.
I have not heard any market buzz on the guy or his willingness to leave Auburn.

The guy is the real deal. He was a high school coaching legend in Arkansas. So Houston Nutt grabbed him up as an offensive coordinator at Arkansas in 2005. Nutt and Malzahn had a falling out so in 2007 he took the offensive coordinator spot at Tulsa. That's when Mustain and the others decided to leave Arkansas. At Tulsa his unit lead the nation in all kinds of stats with a balanced attack through the air and on the ground. After two seasons, Auburn grabbed him up as an offensive coordinator. Now look at what Cam is doing over there. He's best known for his Wildcat and No Huddle plays. Now folks in the NFL are even adopting some of his methods.
Let's look at your proposals:
We'd do well to make the move to any of these three...when it comes down to what is most LIKELY, from a practical P.O.V. involving willingness, timing and back-channel connections, I believe Wittingham is the best and likeliest.
Of course, maximum flexibility for Foley (the time and cover to work behind the scenes) would be derived from Meyer announcing his own "retirement" pending season's end. Can't expect (or certainly count on) THAT happening, anymore than Addazio "doing the right thing" and stepping aside (demoting himself) so that Loeffler gets a shot for the season's balance--essentially giving Meyer some flexibility AND another chance to show he hasn't "lost it".
No, I'm thinking this is likely to get messy unless someone (best of all, Meyer himself) reacquires some combination of honor, class and/or cojones.
For Meyer (and/or Addazio), it's more the first two. For Foley, more the last.

I think we may see a multi-phase approach from Foley. Just watching other teams, there seems to be three milestones to get to a new staff:
Milestone A: call to arms. This is when the coaches recognize there is a problem. I think this is where we are now.
Milestone B: warning order. This is when the Athletic Director issues a warning to the coaching staff to fix this or else.
Milestone C: the downfall. This is when the current staff or large portions of a staff are fired.
What we never know is what people like Foley are doing after Milestone B. We do not know whom he is calling, which coaches he already plays golf with, and which coaches he will start schmoozing this year.
