He has experience having play calling duties stripped away from him while at Bama from my understanding.

 

I’ll take the 5-star recruits and roll the dice on his play calling.

Re: Lupoi as Def play-caller, this is from an article someone posted yesterday.

"After some early struggles during the season, Saban stripped Lupoi of defensive play-calling responsibilities and handed them over to co-defensive coordinator Pete Golding, according to sources. Saban had poached Golding from UT-San Antonio in the offseason in part to alleviate concerns about Lupoi’s inexperience with the secondary and as a play-caller. Still, word is Lupoi seemed overwhelmed during practices and didn’t totally grasp situational play-calling. While he was still heavily involved in the defensive game-planning, there was no question Golding taking over play-calling represented a demotion of sorts for Lupoi barely into the start of his defensive coordinator stint."

Im still holding out for wade phillips

Wade would kick so much ass here but I can't see him wanting to recruit. His demeanor and coaching would be a great fit.

Is Derrick Ansley a candidate -- not familiar with how good of a DC he might be ??

(Maybe he wants out with Steele at Tennessee now...)

Big money requires big work. If he’s doesn’t perform we need to get someone else. That will just be another measure of sark’s tenure here

If he is the hire, the biggest issue would be the lack of personnel on staff with any defensive play calling experience to spell him if he is a complete failure. Not sure that is a gamble you want to take.

Christ. We’re going to wind up with Tosh Lupoi calling plays as the DC. 

Honest question. Is Lupoi calling plays a complete disaster if he has Joseph to help?

He has been in the NFL, he is most certainly a better coach now than when he left college. Maybe he learned something.

He has been in the NFL coaching the defensive line, where he excelled in college. Where he struggled (reportedly) was situational play calling and grasping the interplay between the defensive line and the back seven at an acceptable level, something he just might need to understand as a defensive play caller in the Big 12. Nick Saban already rolled the dice on this experiment for recruiting purposes, and it was a failure.

why are people freaking out all of a sudden?

Aside from Ash to Jax, did anything else change since last night? 

 

wtf am I missing. Is it still looking to be between Georgia DC, Bama DC, LSU DC?

As the article said above, he’s not great at in-game situational shit. Not great.

Wade could just show up like this at a recruits house and they'd commit before he crossed the threshold.

No they wouldn't, most would laugh him out of their house while yelling where are his hoes. And that sweater on the guy in the background. Looks like a 80"s video game threw up on him. That's hideous.

The only thing worse would be Mike Stoops calling plays.

We’re likely minutes away from the Shawn Watsoning of this guy’s run as HC at Texas.

I can only assume you know something we don't.

A little, Lupoi is clearly waiting out the Oregon/Texas DC job process. Frankly our DC search going as long as it has is to our benefit if we wanted to bring him on because there would be less openings for him in the NFL so we in theory would have a better chance of nabbing him as a position coach.

Confirmed.  You don’t understand football at all and are probably at least slightly ‘tarded.

Hutzler turned J. Mitchell into a respectable big 12 linebacker. That in itself could be considered a miracle just not seeing room for him. Hope I'm wrong as I haven't seen any news of him leaving yet other some cryptic tweets from Overshown.

What's happening with Hutzler? Would it be possible to keep him around and bring in Lupoi and they can Co-DC? Or am i a regard for even suggesting it?

Highly regarded with extreme heaviness.
