2023 Texas Coaching and Support Staff Thread

[Newy25 7,668]

Distracted in Boca Raton? By what? Retired old Jewish people? If you have never been there, it’s not a party place. Unless you consider shuffleboard partying.

Don't be scared to @ him,  @Armybrat is pretty cool.

Texas related - Marion still an option for Tulsa

 

[FreeHorn 1,307]

Really going to be interested to see who Herman is able to get to join his staff. Wonder if he tries to get the old gang back together.

Tulsa must have told him no, cause there is no way he takes this job while still in the running for Tulsa. 
 

if we lose Marion I hope the first two calls are to Samples and Jeff Scott.

Those are great options, would Sark take a swing at his buddy Wiggins from Bama?

Will he? I’m sure he will. Sark loves anything Bama. I’m also sure he would like to interview Tee Martin. But truth be told Wiggins hasn’t shown me anything especially these last two years. Recruiting to Bama is easy but that WR room outside of Meechie hasn’t been developed well.

Todd Orlando ended the season as their interim HC

Tee Martin would be a nice get if Marion leaves.

Todd Orlando seems to always turn up on staffs about to be fired.  It’s quite the knack.

I feel like Samples could be fantastic hire and would hopefully help us really lockdown DFW. I still have questions about his ability to develop - particularly since he's been coaching running backs. In any case, I definitely wouldn't complain if they brought him back. I'm also hoping he blocked out whatever he may or may not have learned from Meekins and Mehringer...

How about finally getting Malcolm Kelly from TCU?

McVay had to re-assign another position coach to  assist Samples with the RB’s in the middle of the season this year if that gives you any indication as to how he’s viewed as a developer.

Doesn’t mean he can’t get better and like you mentioned he started his career off working with receivers so maybe he’s more comfortable at that spot, but still interesting to note.

Party Rock would disagree

FAU has an enrollment of about 30,000 students, 58% of which are female, and likely didn’t have the academic resumes to get into UF, FSU, or Miami. Seems like fertile ground for distraction for Joey Freshwater.

I have a tough time seeing them going with Marion. Think they want someone with more skins on the wall, even if that isn't Odom.

He called them Party Rock, as if they were some one-hit wonder, known only by the title of their only hit song. .

These are music industry icons. Besmirch the fine, upstanding name of LMFAO at your own peril. 

[ousux 5,595]

If Marion is angling for the Oregon OC job, then I think that is unlikely as well. Those are the only two roles I have heard him connected with. I like Marion, but he needs to show me more as a coach before I get worked up about losing him. His room was the only one that didn't improve over last year. 

Same, would like to keep him for recruiting purposes, but not 100% sold on his actual coaching.

As long as he has an actual OC that runs their offense.  He is a good recruiter and is personable by most accounts.

FWIW - the only people Marion has followed on Twitter the last two weeks are Tulsa players, Tulsa boosters, and Tulsa area media.

Are there any rumors of Choate leaving? Feel like he could get a G5 coaching gig if he wants it.

He left a solid FCS HC gig at Montana State for this, so he's definitely got something specific in mind.

A P5 Defensive Coordinator position is probably his next best step if he aspires to bigger things.
