I'm lazy and busy at the same time so I'm not going back to review the evidence that Mike Stoops was really coming to Texas. But I have to believe this was an artful troll by some pissed off Bama fans who actually own a computer. I can't believe that Sark wasn't  told that some coaches are non-starters, and Mike Stoops is at the top of the list. If it really happened, then I fault Sark for wanting to bring that turd anywhere near our players, and I fault CDC for not getting the message (even if he and Stoops like to nude leg wrestle on the weekends) to Sark that the fanbase would simply lose their collective mind with that asshole on our sidelines. It feels like it was a rumor, spawned by trolls, that went viral. That's what me, Santa, and the Easter Bunny all choose to believe.

I think I know the answer to this question, but do titles like "Running Game Coordinator", "Defensive Passing Game Coordinator", or "Assistant Head Coach" have any real substance to them whatsoever?

If you consider a few hundred thousand more dollars per year in compensation substance, then yes.

It's a way to justify higher salary.

Everyone always parrots this line but I don't get it.  Who are we justifying it to?  We can pay whichever coach whatever we want.  Patterson had the genius idea to call Wickline an OC so that it was a "promotion" and we wouldn't have to pay his buyout.  In all other cases it just seems like silly ego stroking to me.

Of course, but surely the people signing the checks must know it's bullshit--same as everyone else. Is Stan Drayton's day-to-day life at work going to be any different as a  result of being named running game coordinator, aside from earning more?

Don't remember Blake having that much sunshine before. 

I'm going to take the lack of a recruiting coordinator as a sign that Lupoi is coming

I went to the texassports.com site and they still have Herb Hand bio linked to Gideon's picture.  If you click on Gideons name it is his bio, if you click on Gideon's face it goes to Herb Hand....cmon man...

If it's not that, then what is it? I don't know the particulars in intimate detail, but I think it has to do with justifying what we want to pay a coach relative to the broader market of people employed with the same title. It's stupid, but I could see where a state run institution could come under fire for paying a LB coach $1MM/year when the industry average is $350k. That sort of delta might be deemed unnecessarily excessive, hence the addition of titles to justify the higher pay.

I was fresh out of law school when the Joe Wickline/Patterson stuff was going down. I remember reading the pleadings/depo transcripts and being so fucking embarrassed that we were spewing such transparent, obvious bullshit to try and save a few dollars. Steve Patterson is the human version of projectile diarrhea.

Plus it's a way to structure deals to get around contract buyouts that specify a higher buyout if the position is equivalent and not a promotion, and to prevent other schools from poaching your high dollar coaches without paying the higher buyout.  Basically, if a school wants to poach our TE coach without paying the buyout, they have to make him their offensive coordinator.

Seconded. What happened to the rumblings of a Conditioning coach hire? 

Just the typical made up bullshit from Nahlin. 

Sarkisian will add reinforcements and a better foundation with new headcount in the S&C and nutrition programs, but not a one of us has a fucking clue how he's really looking at doing that.

Terry Joseph did not get the memo. Black suit and burnt orange tie.

Already failing to pay attention to detail 😉

Why does it look like Corch K just let a ripper slip out, and he's thinking, "oh, shit! I hope they don't smell it!"?

One of the big positives for me is Sark has the former players tweeting positive stuff for the most part. 

what did you think they were going to do? please tell me there's some other big positives that rank up above 'former players tweet encouraging stuff'...?

Ok I’m going to need to see some more consistency in background, suit, and tie colors. Also, pose positions are all wonky. This is not our standard. Time to do a re-shoot.

I imagine they'll take standardized pictures at some point in the future. Sark's and Becton's at least I know are from their previous gigs.

I'd assume that incoming staff usually gets their headshots all done at the same time and place, but maybe things were wonky this year and they were asked to go get them done separately? Idk it looks like shit though.
