Five candidates to replace Stan Drayton as running back coach

As has been echoed, mostly a dogshit list.

That being said, if Chris Gilbert ACTUALLY wants an on field coaching position, I'm fine giving it to him. I'm not sure that dude wants to be on the road making it rain, however. He seems to be doing plenty well from behind a desk with his feet up. But he's young enough. 

Brennan Marion is an interesting name. Although "Could be a plus recruiter" feels like Mike Roach completely made up bullshit because he knows nothing, Snow Cone. 

Recruiting. Rain. Maker.

Probably just echoing Rod Babers since Rod made the case for this guy yesterday on the radio yesterday. Says that guy has taken some kid without much talent and made him an award finalist at WR. He also talked about the guy gaining respect for innovative approach. I would assume Rod was the first to put the name out there and Roach is just compiling of list of names he has heard in different places.

Tend to agree. I like this idea more than Brandon fucking Harris. Can't wait until we get someone actually good at that job to take over that position.

From Marion's wiki:

During Marion's tenure at Waynesboro High School, he developed the GoGo offense, which incorporates principles of old-school triple-option offenses with modern spread concepts.[2] In his first game as Howard's offensive coordinator, Marion's offense helped the FCS Bison defeat UNLV on September 13, 2017.[3] The win by the 45-point underdog Bison was the largest point-spread upset in college football history.[4]

Brennen Marion has 1 year of RB coaching experience, in 2016 at Oklahoma Baptist. Am I missing something there?

He also just coached the Biletnikoff winner at Pitt, so maybe (definitely) he should just replace Coleman as WR coach...

I wonder if Drayton will take Coleman to be WR/Passing game coordinator and Choate to be DC?


That will be interesting and could help us turnover staff without looking like we fired anyone as they took "promotions" at other school.

Definitely curious who Drayton might take with him, but Drayton has a long successful career and has only been at Texas with this particular staff for a year so we might not be so lucky as to have him poach a few undesirables from this current staff.

Drayton mentioned in his intro press conference that the #1 thing he is looking for in his staff is ties to the Northeast region. With that being said, I could see Coleman landing there more than Choate. But who knows.

I think generally RB coach is treated like TE coach - anyone can do it.

Assuming we are replacing Coleman - sure lets give that job to Marion.  Hell, maybe Gerry's sources got mixed up on what Marion was being contacted for.

Though I'm not convinced anyone is getting fired.

Don't know about his recruiting chops, but he's a legit offensive mind. Should be fun bouncing off of Sark and Flood.

Hearing that Gary Patterson is in Austin right now meeting with Sarkisian. Some of the 9.95ers are mentioning it on their recruiting wrap up.

Drayton is his 5th most recent follow (ie person Marion has followed). Would be a logical OC choice at Temple..

JM Jones and Jeff Banks are semi-recent follow, can't tell how recent.

I like this guy a lot as a WR coach. Idk about RBs just bc he doesn't really have experience there.

Seems like they intentionally waited until NSD to move this forward. Idk if that's bc our staff wanted to focus on recruiting, Gary didn't want to mess with TCU's recruiting or what. Guessing we'll find out if it's happening or not fairly soon.
