Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread

[BurntOrange&White 39930]

Here is the latest from the spreadsheet.

As you can see the possible targets are all very good coaches and IMO if we land any combination of them I think this will be the best staff we've had since early to mid 00s and even back to DKR or early Akers days. The only questionable people on the list would be John Glenn, Valai and Akina IMO.

As an analyst. His son is there. 

Get his buyout paid, lower stress for a year, get some family time in.

I think the story is that Muschamp is going there as an analyst and that he would eventually be expected to get the DC job - either by Lanning leaving or getting pushed out.  I don't know how legit the story is - but I have seen more than a few 'reporters' mention that Muschamp would likely be DC there at some point.

Has anybody reported anything about Sark reaching out to Brewster? Hell, do we need a separate TE coach for his offense?

Muschamp to Ga as an analyst makes less sense to me because that is something he would have already thought about and decided on before considering the DC role at Texas.
 

After hearing CDC and Sark talk about how excited they were about the staff coming, it was obvious they had the coordinators identified. Now we hear of Sark interviewing several other DC’s. That would only happen if the planned choice did a u turn. That’s why I’m thinking it could be Alabama, especially since we heard there was a bidding war, and we heard Saban is potentially booting out his DC or losing him.

Saban has viewed Golding as his next Muschamp/Kirby Smart type protege. I didn’t even ask him when I caught with a buddy working in the Saban regime, but I’ll text to see if something has changed this year. 

The truth is probably more simple. Sarkisian has his guy, whoever that is, and he’ll be here as soon as loose ends are tied up ... or interviewing some of the top names has always been a part of the plan for that side of the ball.

I don’t think the depths have been plumbed for any assistant yet, but certainly WR has been discussed far more than the other spots you mentioned. There’s also been almost no discussion about CB besides a few missives on Raymond and Valai. As well, however the staff on the DL will be configured and who it will be almost looks like we’re trying to avoid the discussion on the boards. 

Everytime we have a coaching search, it’s almost like a rite of passage that Tim Brewster gets brought up and gets the recruitniks excited for a hot minute.  Not this time for me. I hope that fucker is retired by the next time one of these searches happens at Texas.

Regardless of how this staff ultimately shakes out. Horn fans should be excited that we will be led on the field by a coach who wants to wreck shop, not just survive four quarters. “All gas, no brakes” is music to my ears after watching turtle Tom shut things down with a 10 point lead in the 2nd qtr.

Muschamp just went through some pretty shitty years after florida and south carolina. The idea that he would sign up to eat Saban's shit for the next 3 years and endure all that stress seems like a long shot to me. I could be way off base but his easiest path to redemption is back in the big 12 with the good guys. Will to Texas as soon as that contract shit is worked out, fight me.

Hope you're wrong, or at least your reasoning is.  If Muschamp would rather take the Texas DC job than an analyst job under Saban because the analyst job would be too stressful and the UT job would be an easier path, then I don't want him.  Fuck that pussy ass mentality shit.

We should not lose coordinators or positions coaches to any schools.  It's time Texas reminds the college football world we have more money than anyone.  If Bama, ND, or UGA is targeting Muschamp, offer him 3.5 mil (1 mil more than Venables) to be the highest paid DC in the country and tell him to give you an answer right then and there.  If you want Jeff Banks, double his salary from Bama.  Make him say no.  We raised all of this money and got turned down by Urban.  Well what's stopping us from buying the country's best coordinators, position coaches, and support staff?  Let Sark manage the offense and let Will manage the defense.  We're going to have to buy our way to success.  I'm done with coaches that need to learn on the job.  Get the best guys, period.  If they say no, make them an offer they can't refuse.  It's time we pull our dick out and show how big it is.  Let's see if other athletic departments, boosters, and schools will shell out the money we will in a pandemic.  Fuck those schools... let's fucking go...

2. Everyone on here is a culinary wizard, capable for producing briskets that would make Aaron Franklin slit his own wrist.

3. No poster (Vic Mackey excluded) has ever fucked less than a 10...12 if you grade on a curve.

4. We are better talent evaluators than most of the free world, regardless of what we are evaluating.

I mean, the obvious answer is that the guys writing the checks were willing to write checks for Urban Meyer. Once you move on from a Ferrari to something less than that, well, price tags and expectations are adjusted accordingly. It's not like everyone venmo'd a bunch of money into a checking account a month ago and told Harztell and CDC to do what they do. This shit works on handshakes and trust. 

I signed a commitment letter to commit money to the AD. Actually signed something. And during covid, I talked to our AD contact and discussed whether we might need to defer a payment or extension. And he pretty more or less said "Yeah, man, I mean we can't actually make you pay anything, so...we understand. Do your best, we'll work something out if we need to..."

And I guarantee you no Boosters signed any piece of paper, be it simple or complex, committing them to monetary responsibility...especially BEFORE anyone was hired. And probably not ever.

Seriously?  You think Saban and Sark agreed on what free agent coaches Sark is allowed to chase?  Having some respect as to who he poaches from Sabans staff is one thing but there is no reason they would have any conversation about what coaches outside of Bama that he is allowed to hire?

You don’t think there was a moment where they bounced DC ideas around?

Uh just to be clear, CTJ never guaranteed Urban to Texas and I was the sole non-troll in the Urban or Bust thread to actually state repeatedly that he said no and wasn’t coming. And at the same time I reveled in the greatness of the Urban or Bust thread praying I was dead wrong.

I almost fell victim to that commitment. Stuck with my LL seats and centennial club seats. Figured I’d buy a game or two in SEZ for the experience and still come out ahead. Good on you though. Know who to ask if you ever want to unload those seats for a game or two.

That’s all absolutely true for Surly as a crowd sourced entity.

By that token we’ve also worked for BMD for years and years, know their families or are members ourselves, have methed out bi-sex orgys, married the most fucking batshit crazy strippers, fucked our hot (pics provided), thirsty 20 something assistant while our marriage was on the outs, fucked our neighbors girlfriend, have open marriages, been and are alcoholics, smuggled gold across Europe, all while being hypocritical and judgmental moralists.

The value in all that is that crowd sourcing offers a merger of all those experiences and buried within all that shit is not only the answer you were looking for but also the question you never thought to ask.

Awesome! We will definitely try to unload 1-2 a year, I'm sure. We didn't have any Season Tickets beforehand, so it seemed like a good opportunity. But I would be lying if I didn't think Texas was on the way up and it would be as much of an investment as it would be a chance to raise my son in the light of Burnt Orange.

Second, Gideon’s hire is a nod to Texas football and its heritage and provides institutional knowledge to a staff unlikely to have much of it. With coaches Oscar Giles and Jay Boulware unlikely to return, Sarkisian still recognizes the need for institutional knowledge of the University and the state and he definitely gets that in Gideon. Remember, Gideon’s father, Steve, is a long-time Texas high school coach, so I’m not only talking about knowledge of the university but of the state’s all-important high school coaching fraternity.

Given the high marks Muschamp and others have bestowed on Gideon as a coach, and the background Gideon has playing at Texas and for a national championship, I feel like Sarkisian’s hire of Gideon was particularly astute.
 

I'm not pissing on the Gideon hire, but it seems like Bobby is inflating the value of his "institutional knowledge of the University and the state."  I get that he's the son of a high-school coach.  But how does that and four years as a player a decade ago translate into this valuable "institutional" knowledge?  Of course playing football for the Longhorns and being on staff are vastly different experiences, and most of his coaching experience has been in the SEC, with only one year in Texas (2019 on Holgo's Houston staff).  

If you're trying to hire coaches with this "institutional knowledge," I'm not sure Gideon brings the value that Bobby is touting.

Agreed - think Wiggins is the best technical teacher of the candidates and will have Devonta Smith as a trophy on the wall for recruiting. We’ve never had problems recruiting athletic receivers, just problems teaching them to get open. If you go back through scouting reports on most of the Bama receivers (Jeudy, Ruggs, Smith, Metchie, Waddle), they seem to indicate all were athletic/ball skill freaks but needed to improve route running. Now, nearly all of them are getting drafted for being freakish route runners. I’d rather have that and have Sark/TE recruiting witch hire take care of the recruiting side.
