Dallas Cowboys DC Dan Quinn set to speak at Texas Football Coaches Clinic

The first featured speaker for the upcoming Texas football coaches clinic has been announced. The Longhorns will welcome in Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn as one of their featured speakers for Steve Sarkisian's first Texas Football Coaches Clinic since he was hired at Texas.

The Dallas Cowboys' defensive coordinator has plenty of familiarity with Sarkisian and Texas offensive coordinator Kyle Flood from when the two UT coaches were assistants on Quinn's staff when he was the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons. Both Sarkisian and Flood spent two years as assistant coaches on Quinn's coaching staff with the Falcons in 2017 and 2018. Flood was the offensive line coach while Sarkisian was Quinn's offensive coordinator in Atlanta.

This year's Texas Football Coaches Clinic marks the first in-person event of the Sarkisian era after not holding the annual coaches clinic last spring.

The Longhorns will host the annual Texas Football Coaches Clinic April 7 through April 9, and the three-day event will not only feature Quinn as the first announced featured speaker, but will also feature instruction from all of Sarkisian's assistant coaches at Texas.

The 2022 Texas Football Coaches Clinic will be held while the Longhorns are well underway in spring practice, which officially kicks off later this month on March 22 and concludes on April 23 with the annual Orange-White Spring Game. The Longhorns have welcomed a number of new faces to the roster ahead of spring football, including 10 early enrollees — four-star cornerback Terrance Brooks, four-star EDGE Justice Finkley, four-star safety Bryan Allen Jr., four-star cornerback Jaylon Guilbeau, four-star defensive lineman Jaray Bledsoe, four-star quarterback Maalik Murphy, four-star running back Jaydon Blue, four-star safety Larry Turner-Gooden, four-star offensive lineman Cole Hutson and three-star defensive lineman Aaron Bryant — and four mid-year transfers in five-star quarterback Quinn Ewers, four-star wide receiver Isaiah Neyor, four-star tight end Jahleel Billingsley and three-star cornerback Ryan Watts.

The Orange-White Spring Game will be a part of this year's 'Made in Austin Weekend' for the Longhorns, which will feature plenty of UT sporting events the weekend of April 22 through April 24. The spring game is among the events to headline the weekend, but this year's 'Made in Austin Weekend' is also a Big 12 home series for No. 1 ranked Texas baseball when the Longhorns host Baylor for a three-game series starting April 22.

According to the official announcement for the spring game and 'Made in Austin Weekend', the Longhorns will host, "events (featuring) a variety of fan experiences that celebrates what makes Austin so unique: live music, specialty food and beverage offerings, live art installations, and -- most importantly -- the Texas Longhorns!"

Sources: Texas GA expected to be Division II offensive coordinator

After serving GA stints at two FBS schools, Jake Kostner is now set to take over a Division II offense that did not win a game in 2021.

Zach Barnett 7 minutes ago

Texas graduate assistant Jake Kostner is expected to be the offensive coordinator at Limestone University, sources told FootballScoop on Monday.

Limestone is a Division II school in Gaffney, S.C. The Saints compete in the South Atlantic Conference.

Last week, Limestone hired Mike Furrey as its head coach. Furrey returns to Gaffney after four seasons as the wide receivers coach for the Chicago Bears, replacing Brian Turk. Furrey's 9-12 mark stands as the best in Limestone's short history; the program launched football in 2014. 

Kostner is a Michigan native who began his athletics career as a soccer player before switching to football as a high school junior. He attended Michigan, where he worked with the football program, and served GA stints at Central Michigan under Jim McElwain and at Texas under Tom Herman and Steve Sarkisian, where he worked with quarterbacks.

Furrey and Kostner will have their work cut out for them revamping a Limestone offense that averaged 13.2 points and 273.4 yards per game en route to an 0-9 finish in 2021.

As always, stay tuned to The Scoop for the latest.

Arch Manning ain’t walking thru that door for at least 8 months (not sure if he’ll be an EE, but I suspect he will), so no earth shattering disappointment here yet. Yes, adding Cutcliffe now would have seemed like a massive data point in favor of securing a Manning commitment (or proving our commitment to the Manning Machine), but it seems he’s not joining the Georgia, Alabama, or any other collegiate staff, either.

Breaking news: Arch Manning commits to SEC.

Is this good?  

Pickering joined the Lane staff after a dozen seasons in the Mississippi high school ranks. His 12 teams won 11 region championships, five state titles, and all nine of his starting quarterbacks played at the next level.

This is pretty cool, but the fact that the state of Texas isn't absolutely covered with markers is part of our problem.

 

You do know that on the big USA map only the staff spots are posted for Texas.  For the players from the state you have to go to the adjacent Texas only map which naturally has big clusters for the state population centers.

Gotcha. That makes sense. On the big map I did see Bijan’s name on Arizona. Thanks for clearing that up.
