LSU hired Austin Thomas which is a great move by their AD. His role will be like that of a NFL GM. College ball is going through a massive change with Name & Likeness, one time transfer rule, and constant roster churn with your own guys hitting the portal and scouring it to fit current roster needs and recruiting targets. LSU is ahead of the game and we need to hire someone as our “GM”. In my opinion, college roster construction is going to be much more challenging than what a NFL GM has to worry about. The players are going to have freedom of movement that will be unsettling. We need to be cutting edge and have offers for endorsements ready to recruits once NIL is legalized and have someone to help map out recruiting and transfer portal strategy. This is the future and the programs that adapt will be the ones who have success.

We pretty much already did that under Herman. Lovo and the support staff weren't bad at all.

Blake Gideon is a very good coach. Good recruiter, too.

Got randomly close to Blake our sophomore years due to a shared history class. Say what you want about his ability to retain information pertaining to Upton Sinclair novels, all he ever talked about was trying to set himself up to coach at a major college football program. I’d love to see him return to Austin now that his role wouldn’t require him to be coach ON the field.

Goddamn, "fuck you" left and right, and no one has even bothered to answer the honest questions. I'd wager that Sark is clean, and I'm sorry that you didn't land Urban Meyer, but have hope.

I'll leave. I was hpoing to post in the UNC / Cult Aggy thread tonight, and celebrate Ass To Mouth losing, but I get it.

You need to realize you’re a sooner who started posting on the day we made a coaching change.  Highly suspect.  We treat some sooners well around here, but they’ve been here for longer than a minute and have proven themselves to be worthy contributors. Ask @ChiTownDoc for the instruction manual.

K, my questions are...
"It's not resonable to think Sark would hire Mike Stoops, as he has not been clean for long enough to be selected as a reasonable choice for DC at UT. Why would anyone think he would be?"
"Don't you think licensed private investigators have vetted Sark's alcohol intake enough to satisfy the powers that be at UT?"
I think UT would be OK with a recovering alcoholic, who won the Broyles, but not OK with Mike Stoops, who needs more time (and for all we know may still be drinking compusively.)
One is more likely to beat their alcoholism if they have hope in life, and I'll bet he's been clean.
I'd have hired Bill O'Brien, but this may not be the catastrophe many of you are making it out to be. 
(Qualifier: I don't want anything to happen at UT that upsets the balance of OU beating Texas at the rate Riley has been) So, take that for what it's worth. Food for thought. 

Mike Stoops should not be employed by UT and Sark should be fired immediately if he tries to hire him as a co-DC.

I didn’t know Stoops was an alcoholic and that has nothing to do with the above.

Assistant coach hires is always the most exciting part of a new head coach hire. I’ve been extremely disappointed the last two times. Here’s to this one is much different.

Anyone know what Akina is doing these days?

Edit: I see he's at Stanford. After seeing so much db regression, I'd offer him the moon.

First and last of all, ou fired Stoops, no way Texas hires a guy ou fired. Stop with that 

Expand  

And we all thought there was no way Texas would hire a good OC who was a two time failure as a head coach after trying a good offensive coordinator with some success as a head coach. You should know, never say never.

The thought of the following defensive staff would be really really good I think.

 

DC/LB - Will Muschamp

Co-DC/OLB - Tosh Lupoi

DE/Defensive - Ryan Nielsen

DT - Bo Davis

Secondary - Cory Raymond

 

 

 

 

As for offensive staff I think Sark will continue to coach QB's or split time and may even act as playcaller but who knows. This potential coaching staff for offense would be good as well. We could afford to pay Flood and Tee Martin around 1-1.25 million each and put the total for OC position at 2-2.5 million. It would be enough to bring Tee back to the college game and keep Flood from going to NFL/lure away from Bama.

 

 

OL - Kyle Flood - Giving him co-oc would increase pay

WR/AHC/Co-OC - Tee Martin

TE/Special Teams - Jeff Banks

RB coach - Samples/Drayton/Who?

QB Coach - AJ Milwee

Expand  

To Follow up

 

This would be a damn good blue blood staff that will do whatever it takes to win and get players to Texas.

 

 

What I'm most interested in is support staff and specifically S&C coach.

If we end up with some of the guys being mentioned, it’s a big indicator to me that Hartzell and the guys in charge are probably sick of aggy, LSU, and Bama taking elite talent by using bagmen.  I hope we see these names.  The ncaa does not care and it’s time Texas flexes its muscle. 
 

Muschamp knows how the game is played.

Someone mentioned and asked about Saints DL coach Ryan Nielsen. Someone tight with him said he has no intention of going back to college at this point. Loving coaching in the NFL.

Our last two head coaches hired as OC Shawn Watson and Tim Beck. Sark can’t possibly do any worse.

I have to believe a big part of Sarkisian's 'appeal' is the staff he hopes/plans to put together.  Obviously a lot of big names being thrown around - but even if those at the top of the list don't hit I have to believe that Steve has enough contacts between his time at USC, in the NFL, and now at Alabama to go 2 or 3 names deep in his list and still get a very high quality coach at each position.

Agree. For all his faults, this was the biggest with Tom. If he'd hired his current staff from the start, we wouldn't be here right now

My CFB viewing has declined rapidly as years of Texas football mediocrity has set in. Really only tuning in to watch Texas games. Because I hate myself. I think the the Bama game yesterday was the first one I watched this year. And on top of that I was not really paying attention to the system and style offense that Bama was running.

With that said, this was just a long winded question, what kind of offense does Sark run. Thanks, i'll hang up and listen.
