Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread

[Sal 1088]

I probably missed it a few pages back, but has there been any mention of who Sarkisian is targeting for strength and conditioning?

Valai sucks. Our cornerback play was bad this year even late in the season. 
 

if you have a chance to hire Raymond then you can Valai yesterday.

Buddy hires are okay when they are proven coaches. Herman’s and Strong’s were just buddies.

Tom Herman’s initial staff was a fucking joke that all of us openly laughed at from the beginning.  The early indications are that Sark is not trying to make that same mistake.

Inside Texas has learned that former Oklahoma defensive coordinator Mike Stoops, who is currently a defensive analyst for Alabama, is "unlikely" to join Steve Sarkisian at Texas.

"It doesn't look like that's going to happen," a source close to the situation said.

Stoops has been rumored to be a candidate to coach linebackers as well as Co-DC.

It's been completely silent on that front. Which is kinda weird.

Herman probably would have called him “the running back” or some stupid shit till he graduated. Sark seems to actually get it and think this staff will reflect that 

Conversation went like this....,,watch what Najee does to tOSU and that's you.

The prevailing wisdom last offseason was that Ash was taking over coaching duties for the entire secondary while Valai was brought on mostly for recruiting and as a locker room guy.

With regard to Raymond.... are we okay with whatever his involvement was with the LSU mess? 

Yeah... I was pretty meh on this hire but if they land anywhere near the names that are being thrown out, then I'm all in. 

This job isn't as difficult as the last two clowns have made it out to be. Hire the best assistants you can find, recruit like a motherfucker and then profit.

The best thing that Sark has going for him though, is the talent on campus. Say what you will about Herman, but his staff did a nice job on talent evaluation and acquisition. They for sure didn't pull in the 4 and 5 star guys that they should have, but their secondary evals have been on point. We've all bemoaned our offensive line recruiting, especially this year, but what Sarkisian is inheriting on the OL is light years beyond what Strong or Herman started out with. And that doesn't even mention Bijan and a healthy quarterback room and a deep stable of guys on the DL and at DB.  Charlie's cake wasn't baked but this one looks like it's ready for the oven. No reason that we shouldn't hit the ground running.

Corey Raymond has been an elite position coach at LSU for almost a decade. LSU’s failures this year have nothing to do with him.

The biggest issue with Strong and Herman (and even Mack initially) were buddy comfort hires from their current gig.

But are we OK with that here since Bama is the current gig? 

Hiring your buddies is fine if they’re also nationally elite coaches. It’s only a problem when they don’t deserve to be at any P5 school, let alone Texas.

Food for thought...

Urban had success retaining the DC when he took over at both Utah and tOSU,  so it's not always best to get rid of everyone if they're good coaches like Whittingham and Fickell

Had enough of you telling me about urban honestly. You never listened to reason in the urban thread.

Regardless, I’m not saying that they should all be gone. Some may stay. My point is that the best option available should win out.

This thread moves too fast for me to keep up.  Is it a given that Ash is getting shitcanned?  I thought he did a pretty good job with the defense, but then again I'm benchmarking that against Tony Orlando.

Undecided but it appears that Muschamp isn’t coming.  I think people are assuming it would be one of the two.

I think Ash stays. No reason not to keep him if yoy can't get someone like Muschamp

[Pato del Muerto 52353]

Is moffitt still at LSU?  If LSU is really a free for all, we should inquire.

A badass coaching staff is the real appeal of hiring Sark. His connections are to Carroll's tree and Saban's tree. That's as good as it gets in current cfb. If he keeps Ash then he's somewhat connected to the UM tree as well.

IDK, but someone on 247 said he was originally off the table, but now back on according to TOS (assuming IT).

He's unlikely to have a job with the Falcons next year so hes available

Sark has better buddies.  Strong really didnt have many connections. Herman's were unproven and turned out to be very weak coaches, as compared to other power 5 programs of our caliber.

Would be a big pull. Have to imagine Bama would offer significant raises to avoid losing 3 coaches (and thereby players/recruits) to Sark.

If it’s just Flood joining, that’s still a win

Saban probably has a long line of consultants ready to take the job

If Saban was close to retirement wouldn’t Sark just stay there?

If I’m Sark, (and I’m not FYI)...I’m open to making a shit ton of cash to live in one of the best cities in the nation and replacing a “legend” (in his own mind!) as opposed to guessing when St. Saban may or may not retire and having to follow up that LEGEND.  Ask Mike Shula how it fun it was taking over after Coach Stallings.

or Charlie taking over for FUPM

or what’s his face taking over for switzer...

That was supposed to be post 1,000 but if Tosh be passing out bags I’m in to toss in $1000  

If we are going to do this sanctioned cheating thing I think Shaggy ought to pick a recruit every year to buy.  I feel like it would be worth it collectively to this board and within our means to give the next Waddle like 200k

Ifs ok to make some comfort/buddy hires, have to be comfortable...but to fill your entire staff w buddy hires is a problem.

It depends on what circle of “buddies” you run with. Sark runs with some pretty elite coaching buddies.

A top 4 playoff Texas team will generate more hype and money than a bunch of pearl clutching alumni could ever hope to match in donations.

A post like the above from Not a Sock seems to be more about poster posturing than reality. It's not hopelessly idealistic or stupidly optimistic to not embrace outright, wholesale flushing of ethical standards. 

"I just want to win and I don't care how" will ruin this game for me. You have the NFL, leave college football alone. Sure, it's dirty, but that doesn't mean you have to just drown it in shit. If it makes you feel manlier than me to call anyone who disagrees with you a pearl clutcher...well, just fuck the hell off, bitch.

Holman Wiggins would be a lazy hire and speaks to Sark not understanding the Texas job. No one that was with Fuente for 9 years should be considered. This would be the definition of a comfort hire. Couple him with keeping Drayton and you have a very underwhelming offensive staff with no elite teacher or recruiter in either the RB or WR spots.

Sanjay Lal, WR coach from the Seahawks need to get a call. Look what he did for DK Metcalf.

I'm sure there are reasons he's underwhelming, but hiring the position coach for the first Heisman WR wince 1991 doesn't exactly seem like dumpster diving.
