i just dont get it. You are at THE University of Texas. You have a blank check to hire any coach you want. You put together a pretty decent offensive staff (even though it could have been better with a true ace at the WR coach position and upgrading Drayton to another ace recruiter. But still, Boulware and Yurcich and Coleman are all positive steps. Maybe not the best, but at least positive.
But then on the defensive side, you recycle Ash. Ok, bad HC but won a NC at OSU as co-DC. He employs a four man front and plays quarters behind it as his base D. Both of which are crucial imo to defending spread offenses. Keep Giles, eh. Bring in the SC LB coach, ok, now we're talking. Hir Valai, WTF? And then Hagan? WHO? What? FUck you. Will it be an improvement over last year's D? Sure, assuming we dont bring a blitzer from 15 yards deep on the hash from the wide side of the field.
But why? Why not go get the best? The best corners coach, the best LB coach, the best DL coach. The best RB and WR coach. WHY WOULDNT YOU DO THAT? I have no fucking clue but our guy just bet $5MM per year on a cast of spares and retreads.
