I'm leary of people who have pet monkeys. Through social circles I know of two females who have them. I keep my interaction with them to bare fucking minimum.

 

Something just ain't right about pet monkeys. Be a normal person and get a dog, cat or tiger.

Maybe Golding has a sex piranha.

Dennis Allen has entered the 9.95 Roulette portal.

The ONLY reason I'm not going to immediately call bullshit on this is due to the fact that Allen's career has stalled out in the NFL. Five solid years as Saints DC and he isn't sniffing HC interviews or getting much buzz at all for openings. If anything his star has dimmed a bit. Plus he will always have that awful time as Raider HC weighing against him...

 

So is this almost certainly insider horseshit with them just throwing out NFL guys that could, in theory, explain the delay in the DC hiring process? Absolutely. But could Allen potentially view college as the only place he will ever be a HC again? And a couple years as Texas DC a prime way to get a cushy college job ASAP? I mean..  yeah, in theory.

I have never owned a monkey, but I have witnessed some chimpanzees do some pretty ludicrous shit, so I’m assuming the behavior would be about the same.  I did know a guy who had a tiger for a little bit, so I’m no exotic animals virgin.

TFB with a weird ass update

So let’s go back a bit. Last Monday, January 11th, in a post titled “The Likely Leader”, we reported the following regarding Pete Golding (link here):

Source also said that it sounds more and more like Pete Golding may end up being the guy at Texas.

***On January 13th we noted that we had begun to hear Jeremey Pruitt as a possible candidate for the DC job at Texas, pending the outcome of his situation at Tennessee (link here).

An added note here, while I was in the process of digging up additional information on the prospect of Pruitt being a candidate, I spoke to someone who told me that Pruitt told one of his transfer kids to hold off on a decision as he (Pruitt) might be able to get said player to Texas. That by itself isn’t dispositive but it certainly felt like evidence supporting the word of those who told me Sark was interested in Pruitt.

***On January 14th, we reported that Arnett was finally set to officially interview with Sark (link here).

***On Friday it was reported by Georgia outlets that Sark offered Dan Lanning. As I said, previously, that didn’t pass the smell test and a source with knowledge of the DC search confirmed that indeed an offer was not made to Lanning – although I suspect he got a raise out of the report.

***This weekend, there are reports on the Bama side that Pete Golding has been offered and the reports indicate the offer was made at a premium.

Before I address this I will note…

***I was told that another DC target who has not been mentioned by us or anyone else is in play for the job. I was asked not to publish the name, yet. So, I will not. Again this isn’t a guy who has been mentioned at all. But said DC’s camp was under the impression that things could get done as early as this morning. That has not happened.

Again, this is not a name you’ve heard. It isn’t Odom or Muschamp or Lupoi or Golding or Arnett or Lanning or Pruitt or, again, anyone else you’ve heard mentioned.

***So, the question is, what is the hold up?

***It very well could be Golding. As I said, we reported last Monday that we’d been told he had emerged as the leader.

But there are a few things to consider…

There are folks in the building at Bama who believe Nick wants to keep Golding. They say Nick thinks that while Golding isn’t seasoned, he is extremely bright.

There are others I’ve spoken to who believe that if Nick can get one of his old guys back (Muschamp or Pruitt) then he’d rather part ways with Golding. I tend to believe this theory. Given the turnover currently taking place at Bama, if Saban’s choice is between Golding or hiring someone completely new to him, then he’d prefer Golding. But again, if he can get say, Lanning or Pruitt or Muschamp, then I think he’d push Golding out.

The other thing is Golding is also in the hunt for the LSU job. A report indicating that Texas is about to pay a premium would be a nice play by Sexton (the agent) to either get LSU to offer Golding faster or pay Golding more (assuming, of course, Nick wants to go in another direction).

What I’m not understanding is Sark being patient and on the cusp of hiring someone outside of the the Saban circle (again, I’m withholding the name per their camp’s request) only to offer a bunch of money to Golding. Sark knows Golding very well. If he knew Golding was that good, why not come out guns blazing from jump?

Now, perhaps he just wanted to vet some other guys. That’s very possible. And I’ll add this, Mike Stoops was offered the North Texas DC job and our ties to Mike told us that he was unlikely to take it (and he didn’t) because he was still waiting on a few other possible things to shake out, including the possibility of going to Texas as a position coach (I’m not saying that’s happening and don’t worry either way – Mike’s actually a good position coach). And, that would only happen, I believe, if he thought Golding had a real shot at being the DC at Texas.

If you don’t see Golding announced to Texas in the very near future or you see him announced to LSU, then I’d say chances are Texas never offered him and they slowed the unnamed DC’s offer in order to help Golding and Nick find Golding a good landing spot.

If Golding stays at Bama then it’s unclear what happened. Either Bama outbid Sark or the report helped Sexton get Golding a raise. Either way, I’d expect them to then pivot back to the unnamed DC.

Should have a clearer picture in the next day or two as even no news on Golding would likely mean an offer was not yet made

It was actually Julio Franco.  At the time it was unclear if Julio owned it independently, or if Ruben Sierra was a co-owner, but the cat obeyed Julio.  I was a teenager at the time, and I just thought it was kind of cool that someone had a tiger that they kept in the back of their gold-plated Mercedes S Class.  They apparently donated it to the zoo when it ruined all of the furniture in the house and the leather upholstery in the car.  It also became very expensive to feed.  I met the tiger once, the backend of the story is secondhand.

An added note here, while I was in the process of digging up additional information on the prospect of Pruitt being a candidate, I spoke to someone who told me that Pruitt told one of his transfer kids to hold off on a decision as he (Pruitt) might be able to get said player to Texas. That by itself isn’t dispositive but it certainly felt like evidence supporting the word of those who told me Sark was interested in Pruitt.

***On January 14th, we reported that Arnett was finally set to officially interview with Sark (link here).

***On Friday it was reported by Georgia outlets that Sark offered Dan Lanning. As I said, previously, that didn’t pass the smell test and a source with knowledge of the DC search confirmed that indeed an offer was not made to Lanning – although I suspect he got a raise out of the report.

***This weekend, there are reports on the Bama side that Pete Golding has been offered and the reports indicate the offer was made at a premium.

Before I address this I will note…

***I was told that another DC target who has not been mentioned by us or anyone else is in play for the job. I was asked not to publish the name, yet. So, I will not. Again this isn’t a guy who has been mentioned at all. But said DC’s camp was under the impression that things could get done as early as this morning. That has not happened.

Again, this is not a name you’ve heard. It isn’t Odom or Muschamp or Lupoi or Golding or Arnett or Lanning or Pruitt or, again, anyone else you’ve heard mentioned.

***So, the question is, what is the hold up?

***It very well could be Golding. As I said, we reported last Monday that we’d been told he had emerged as the leader.

But there are a few things to consider…

There are folks in the building at Bama who believe Nick wants to keep Golding. They say Nick thinks that while Golding isn’t seasoned, he is extremely bright.

There are others I’ve spoken to who believe that if Nick can get one of his old guys back (Muschamp or Pruitt) then he’d rather part ways with Golding. I tend to believe this theory. Given the turnover currently taking place at Bama, if Saban’s choice is between Golding or hiring someone completely new to him, then he’d prefer Golding. But again, if he can get say, Lanning or Pruitt or Muschamp, then I think he’d push Golding out.

The other thing is Golding is also in the hunt for the LSU job. A report indicating that Texas is about to pay a premium would be a nice play by Sexton (the agent) to either get LSU to offer Golding faster or pay Golding more (assuming, of course, Nick wants to go in another direction).

What I’m not understanding is Sark being patient and on the cusp of hiring someone outside of the the Saban circle (again, I’m withholding the name per their camp’s request) only to offer a bunch of money to Golding. Sark knows Golding very well. If he knew Golding was that good, why not come out guns blazing from jump?

Now, perhaps he just wanted to vet some other guys. That’s very possible. And I’ll add this, Mike Stoops was offered the North Texas DC job and our ties to Mike told us that he was unlikely to take it (and he didn’t) because he was still waiting on a few other possible things to shake out, including the possibility of going to Texas as a position coach (I’m not saying that’s happening and don’t worry either way – Mike’s actually a good position coach). And, that would only happen, I believe, if he thought Golding had a real shot at being the DC at Texas.

If you don’t see Golding announced to Texas in the very near future or you see him announced to LSU, then I’d say chances are Texas never offered him and they slowed the unnamed DC’s offer in order to help Golding and Nick find Golding a good landing spot.

If Golding stays at Bama then it’s unclear what happened. Either Bama outbid Sark or the report helped Sexton get Golding a raise. Either way, I’d expect them to then pivot back to the unnamed DC.

Should have a clearer picture in the next day or two as even no news on Golding would likely mean an offer was not yet made

Remember when we told you it was going to be Golding? Well, it might still be Golding, so remember we told you that a long time ago.

But!

It might not be Golding and it might be someone you have heard us say, or it may be someone else that we of course know but can’t tell you.  So remember we said that too.

And as do I. But truth be told, I hold you SOB’s in higher regard than I do any $9.95er...so take that for what it’s worth.

Are there any guesses as to whom may be said unnamed DC??? 
 

my brain: This will probably be something thoroughly underwhelming like DeRuyter....   Surly discussed him a lot but insiders really haven't so I tend to think he would qualify. Cal defense is entirely run by their HC Wilcox and this would be a C-tier hire at best but if this mystery thing isn't bullshit that is my blind guess.

Could the mystery DC candidate be Glenn Schumann (GA) or Derrick Ansley (Tenn) ??

This Tenn SI article says :  "Schumann has emerged as the favorite to be the defensive coordinator at Texas, which thins the field down."

I wouldn't think Ansley qualifies as mystery candidate but maybe TFB are just being really lame. He has definitely been talked about with connection to UT before by some insiders just not as much lately. 

Schumann is a damned interesting name. Not sure how I would react to that hire.. would be extremely risky but high upside. If we were going that way I would think we just go Arnett who at least has a proven track record? Weird to see that article so bluntly call him a favorite for Texas when no one around Texas afaik has mentioned him before now. Doesn't mean they are wrong- just odd.

Sorta seems like Pruitt is out, then it's between Pruitt to Alabama and Golding to Texas, or Pruitt to Texas. I'd bet the former.

Don't remember who, but one of the 9.95ers said Pruitt wouldn't want to go back to Bama because it'd be too much of  a career setback (going back to the same place he was a few years ago) or something like that. Fingers crossed the compliance department at Texas is in a good mood this week.

Hire Pruitt as DC then throw like 1.8M at Raymond to be Co-DC / CBs coach. Take whatever is left of that war chest and throw it at the compliance team to make sure Pruitt and Raymond get approved 😂

[clapclapclap 9000]

Hello, fellow Insider kids.  I know who the next DC will probably be, but unfortunately I've been sworn to secret.  It's a name nobody has discussed before.  However, if a competing 9.95er names him/her/it, I will be allowed to confirm that we heard that, I mean this, name first.
