Christ. We’re going to wind up with Tosh Lupoi calling plays as the DC. 

Seems like things are trending in that direction, which would not be good.
 

Each of Golding and Arnett carry high upside but a not insignificant amount of risk. Personally I’d rather make another run at Barry Odom, but seems like that is dead.

Re: Lupoi as Def play-caller, this is from an article someone posted yesterday.

"After some early struggles during the season, Saban stripped Lupoi of defensive play-calling responsibilities and handed them over to co-defensive coordinator Pete Golding, according to sources. Saban had poached Golding from UT-San Antonio in the offseason in part to alleviate concerns about Lupoi’s inexperience with the secondary and as a play-caller. Still, word is Lupoi seemed overwhelmed during practices and didn’t totally grasp situational play-calling. While he was still heavily involved in the defensive game-planning, there was no question Golding taking over play-calling represented a demotion of sorts for Lupoi barely into the start of his defensive coordinator stint."

He has been in the NFL, he is most certainly a better coach now than when he left college. Maybe he learned something.

He has been in the NFL coaching the defensive line, where he excelled in college. Where he struggled (reportedly) was situational play calling and grasping the interplay between the defensive line and the back seven at an acceptable level, something he just might need to understand as a defensive play caller in the Big 12. Nick Saban already rolled the dice on this experiment for recruiting purposes, and it was a failure.

Wade could just show up like this at a recruits house and they'd commit before he crossed the threshold.

No they wouldn't, most would laugh him out of their house while yelling where are his hoes. And that sweater on the guy in the background. Looks like a 80"s video game threw up on him. That's hideous.

why are people freaking out all of a sudden?

Aside from Ash to Jax, did anything else change since last night? 

 

wtf am I missing. Is it still looking to be between Georgia DC, Bama DC, LSU DC?


This reminds me of when I was in class when 9/11 happened and found out an hour after everyone else

Are we doing the Surly thing where we make an assumption that something is going to happen based on zero evidence and then freak out about it?

A little, Lupoi is clearly waiting out the Oregon/Texas DC job process. Frankly our DC search going as long as it has is to our benefit if we wanted to bring him on because there would be less openings for him in the NFL so we in theory would have a better chance of nabbing him as a position coach.
