Does their off-season routine involve tying women to train tracks?

Texas Longhorns reportedly hire USC running backs coach Tashard Choice to same position

By  AUSTIN NIVISON 22 minutes ago.  247Sports

Quote

Steve Sarkisian has filled another position on his coaching staff. The Longhorns have hired USC running backs coach Tashard Choice, Mike Roach of Horns 247 has confirmed. Matt Zenitz was the first to report the news.

New USC head coach Lincoln Riley had just hired Choice away from Georgia Tech earlier this month. Fewer than two weeks later, Choice is on his way to Austin to join the Texas coaching staff. He will the void left by former Longhorns running backs coach Stan Drayton, who was introduced as the new head football coach at Temple earlier in the week.

Choice has been the running backs coach at Georgia Tech for the last three seasons, and he has been a strong recruiter for the program. Choice was a lead recruiter on four-star running backs Jahmyr Gibbs, Antonio Martin, and Jamious Griffin. He has also worked on coaching staffs at North Texas and with the Dallas Cowboys.

Prior to his coaching career, Choice played college football at Georgia Tech and was drafted by the Cowboys in the fourth round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He spent parts of four seasons with the Cowboys before playing for the Washington Football Team, the Buffalo Bills, and the Indianapolis Colts.

Not that it should matter but didn't Sark credit Coleman with the T Brooks flip?

Fuck no lol

edit: You are probably thinking about Earnest Greene? A large part of us getting back in it with him was due to the relationship Coleman has with his father (overlapped some in the NFL or some shit). But just like every target Coleman went after other than Thompson we will finish second there as well.

Roach brings absolutely no insight to the hire and the title of the article is "Sources sound off on Tashard Choice." What an absolute useless bum

Spoiler

Texas will hire Tashard Choice as the next running back coach.

A former college football and NFL star from Jonesboro (Ga.), Choice signed with Oklahoma out of high school before transferring to Georgia Tech. He led the ACC in rushing as a junior running for nearly 1500 yards and followed that up with 1,379 in his senior season.

After being drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the 4th round, Choice played for 5 years before moving on to Washington, Buffalo and Indianapolis. After getting out of the NFL, Choice served as an intern for the Cowboys and a graduate assistant at North Texas. Choice was named the UNT running back coach in 2018.

He returned to Georgia Tech as running backs coach in 2019 and served in that role through the 2021 season. Choice was USC-bound when Stan Drayton left Austin to take the Temple job, but a chance to return to Texas where he spent many years was too good to pass up.

As a recruiter, Choice’s biggest win was All-American four-star running back Jahmyr Gibbs. Choice also landed four-star backs Antonio Martin and Jamious Griffin. The bulk of his recruiting has been in the talent-rich state of Georgia, but he’s also handled Texas recruiting for Georgia Tech working in Dallas and Houston.

One high school recruiting coordinator praised Choice as a strong evaluator who trusts his eyes and doesn’t wait for other schools to offer.

Another source I spoke with said Choice has been good at fostering relationships with coaches, follows through on communication and is extremely relatable for a guy who played at the highest levels.

As a player, Choice was seen as a leader in the locker room, and those we spoke with in the profession speak highly of him for his ability to lead his room.

Nobody summarizes a wiki bio quite like Roach.
