  1. He joins Jeff Banks, Chris Jackson, and Johnny Nansen bringing our total to 4 former Washington State lettermen on staff. Banks’ rolodex is the gift that keeps on giving.
  2. Luper with the UT logo is very interesting. The dude has been recruiting Texas for ages and has some very strong connections in DFW. He is a favorite of many high school coaches and has coached a good number of guys who are on currently on staff at some big time schools. I don't know anyone who knows him that doesn't like him. He served in a "High School Relations" kind of role while he was RB coach at TCU and organized all of their big camp stuff. I bet that he's a Gary Patterson recommendation.
  3. According to a level 3 source in Fayetteville, this is another name to keep an eye on. He fits the Sark profile of young energetic up and comer and does have some overlap with Brandon Harris at UT. He was a finalist to be on Sark’s initial staff. He’s never coached running backs but seems to be loved everywhere that he’s been. https://uwbadgers.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/kenny-guiton/2364
  4. Wow we are really building a Death Star with the support staff. Very impressive
  5. Ryan Day gave up playcalling two years ago and gave Brian Hartline a shot. They really struggled, that’s why he brought in Kelly. I chuckle when I think of what would’ve become of Ohio State if Bill Obrien never got offered the Boston College job. That’s a fun alt history. The Sark playcalling conundrum is fascinating. Sark is a very emotional playcaller and that’s what makes him great. He uses not only his scheme stuff but he relies on his relationships with his players and his knowledge of what they are confident in(very baseball-like). He’s mentioned this being a big part of his philosophy and he said that it was the main reason why he made PK come down from the press box after his 1st season. All that being said, the 3rd quarter stuff has got to get fixed because it’s unacceptable to be as bad as we were. We never scored more than 7 points in the 3rd quarter against a P5 opponent, yet we tripled our opponents in 3rd quarter yards lmao. It makes no sense. As far as the redzone stuff is concerned, Sark has got to have a plus run game or he becomes a prisoner to his creativity. The Bama and SC offenses were historically elite in the redzone because they had backs who could do it on their own. We were great in years one and two with Bijan and we’ve fallen off since. I think simply that without an elite back, Sark just has some serious Redzone demons. His redzone struggles cost 2019 Bama vs LSU, Atlanta as OC in the playoffs on a 4th and 1, and at Texas he threw a quick screen on 4th and an inch to Xavier Worthy in Dallas and obviously the semifinal endings in back to back years. I don’t think it has to do with him being the HC I think it’s just who he is.
  6. New year, new thread. Sark just signed his extension and we are going to get to see what a remarkable 5th straight year of staff continuity yields. Should be a fun year to follow the analyst/special assistant movement. Texas is now a prime destination spot on both sides of the ball.
  7. I bet these next two weeks will be focused on opening up the downfield passing game.
  8. Outstanding hire! He’s a Craig Bohl guy. I am very interested to see what he and Nansen will add to the PK scheme. It also doesn’t hurt that he knows the Michigan offense quite well.
  9. Aggy pitching commit https://www.perfectgame.org/players/playerprofile.aspx?ID=672296 https://www.prepbaseballreport.com/profiles/NC/Samuel-Cozart-6925103874-3701894562
  10. Leaving Austin for Denton will do that to you. Lol. Great to have him back!
  11. Excited to see the DL hire but I’m more excited to see how we fill out the support staff. I bet that some of those Bama support staffers are going to end up in Austin. Hopefully we can get some of their recruiting and player personnel people too.
  12. I am seeing some smoke on twitter about the Eagles letting go of most of their Defensive staff, but it seems like the vast majority want to retain Rocker so I guess we shall see.
  13. Todd Grantham is another name that comes to mind.
  14. how it started: But once they showed him around:
  15. Another support staffer gets a full time job.
  16. Ed O seems to be the splashy choice. Apparently Bo was the ‘enforcer’ on the defensive staff as well with PK and the other coaches having a more laid back coaching style. So whoever we hire needs to have some hardaas in him
  17. This is the type of move that big boy programs do. Reminds me of Ohio State snagging Alex Grinch from his DC job in Pullman to make him linebackers coach
  18. This would really be something. I imagine that the aggys would go full FSU and attempt to get congress involved.
  19. After reading some of the meltdowns on Florida and Aggy boards I just want to say that it feels so great that early playing time is not our top recruiting pitch anymore. Lmao we have come a long way
  20. I agree. Plus, if our culture is truly as good as it’s being made out to be, then i trust that it can police itself. One thing that I do know is that A&M had a bad culture and Jimbo has a history of not caring about his players off the field as much as he cared about their performance on the field. So, if Sark thinks the kid is redeemable and worthy of a chance here then I will trust him and root for the kids success. Ultimately, it could end up saving the kids life, and that makes it all worth it to me. And if Sark decides to punt on it, then I understand and support it 100%.
