Or the other way around where Carrington is potentially looking at LSU. Didn't they force a big raise a couple of seasons ago?

Austin Thomas is apparently returning to LSU

Agree 100%. Anyone belittling someone who beat addiction is a fucking moron. 

Look man, no one would bring it up if his head coaching career was stellar. It was somewhere between mediocre and average. And if we're bringing it up, do you think opposing recruiters might?

If Ash is retained why would he get rid of the guy he just picked to be his LB coach? 

Feels like Stoops is a Sark thing since they're both at Bama right now, not a Ash/Muschamp thing. Would be a big red flag for me. 

Ha! Charlie Strong is also on that staff (another of Saban's analysts).   Sark could bring Stoops, Boom and Strong.  LOL

I would think any recruiter belittling addiction would be immediately put into the dick file for a recruit's parents.

Ash isn't sticking around for a co dc role when he's earned the right to the job himself here or somewhere else.  

And fuck stoops....all of them. 

Yeah if I was Ash, I’d be like no thanks. He was damn good this year and earned a solo DC job. No co bullshit

Spoiler

Sources: Part of Sark’s Texas allure is potential staff

As Texas officials worked behind the scenes to bring an end to the Tom Herman era atop the Longhorns football program and find Herman’s replacement as the future of the program, a key point for Texas leaders – from athletics director Chris Del Conte on down – was a coach’s vision for the program.

The Horns’ leaders received voluminous, detailed plans from candidates that addressed their vision for the future of Texas football, detailed recruiting plans, program tenets – and, perhaps chief amongst all items, a projected staff.

It’s in that area in which Steve Sarkisian separated himself, along with Sarkisian’s previous experience as a head coach and his career renaissance at the University of Alabama as offensive coordinator of the Tide’s record-setting attack.

In terms of coordinators, Kyle Flood is a Sarkisian colleague now at Alabama, someone who people close to Sarkisian tell FootballScoop that Sark “likes him a lot.” Flood could be the Horns’ offensive coordinator and a key linchpin on Sarkisian’s staff.

Sarkisian also remained heavily involved in play-calling even as a head coach at both Washington and Southern California, so that’s a key dynamic and one that we’re told Flood well understands with Sarkisian.

Blake Gideon, a former Horns player who started 52 career games in Austin, has carved a niche as a top special teams coach and rising young assistant. Gideon served as special teams coordinator for Lane Kiffin’s inaugural Ole Miss squad, which capped its season Saturday with a win against Indiana in the Outback Bowl.

Sources said there’s mutual interest between Gideon and Sarkisian to join together at Texas.

At the defensive coordinator spot, Sarkisian can help Texas with a number of potential high-profile targets in a year in which defensive coordinators are very much in demand. Sources told FootballScoop that former Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp, fired in November as South Carolina’s head coach, was expected to be in the mix for Sarkisian’s top defensive spot.

Kevin Steele, most recently Auburn’s interim head coach and defensive coordinator, also has emerged with multiple options that could include Texas.

Marcus Freeman, the wunderkind Cincinnati defensive coordinator, has elicited interest from Auburn’s new coach Bryan Harsin, as well as LSU, Michigan and Notre Dame. “Freeman would be an option,” said a source.

Zach Arnett, defensive coordinator at Mississippi State, has surged in national profile and did notable work in his first season with the Bulldogs; he’s considered a name to watch at Texas and with other openings.

Additionally, multiple sources told FootballScoop that a reunion of Sarkisian with defensive line specialist and recruiting guru Tosh Lupoi, who’s spent the past few seasons in the NFL, also has been discussed.

One final coach to keep an eye on is former UT assistant Chris Rumph. Rumph coached outside linebackers for the Houston Texans this season; but a return to Austin could be in his future.

We expect a number of these moves to become clear in the coming days.

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

For the love of god hire Coach Boom. It has to happen. Straight up, ovaries on the table. Texas wins the Big 12 next year and Bijan goes to New York for the Heisman ceremony plus a top 5 recruiting class in 2022 if Boom is hired and Sark calls plays

Man I hope Carrington is retained. Sark will be happy with what we have on offense and defense. His new staff (and hopefully some of the same) should get us 8 wins in year one on talent alone. He's gonna love Bijan, and I bet he'll make Jonathan Brooks more than serviceable. Rojo will still be bad ass. Thompson showed promise, and Card will be good. He'll get us Ewers back, and our recruiting will pick back up just one new coach smell alone.

I finally got a response from my friend who ghosted me during the last 10 plus days. He said to look at the staff hires as a sign for the portal-apocalypse coming.  He fully expects Sark to target a bunch of players in free agency.

I’m cool with ash or muschamp. Prefer ash. Would like to keep hutzler, especially over stoops. 
no idea on flood or most of the others. Lupoi’s best skills aren’t on the coaching side as far as I’m aware, and would his recruiting “style” work here?

I see that tosh was at cal one season and Washington for two, but don’t know how he recruited those years.

and nowhere on that list was s&c that I saw. That’s a big hire.
