Both Stein and Lupoi have been mentioned as candidates for several HC positions for weeks now. DL has had time to think about current coordinators with other teams or delve into his black book for possible OC and DC positions if needed. OBD is a top tier program, and DL could hire a great experienced OC and DC from many other teams if he wanted. Both Mehringer and Hampton have been co-coordinators in the program for a few years now. I have to believe that Stein and Lupoi have been mentoring them for these future positions. DL has had the privilege to personally work closely with and assess both Mehringer and Hampton as potential coordinators. DL has a goal to win a national championship, and he knows that whoever he hires for OC and DC will have to be very good with play calling, recruiting, and player relationships. I don’t think in his mind he would hire less than the best. In Dan Lanning I trust.
