    Just wonder if Muschamp will make some changes. Heard Gideon mentioned at one pt (sounds like dead). Travaris Robinson and Muschamp are very tight. There is speculation he may join the staff. Anyone heard anything about the defensive staff recently?

    With Muschamp back as DC, I don’t think Gideon will be able to hold onto the job.

    Moore had agreed to a number heading into last December that people could make sense of, even if it was high and based more on hope for 2025 than anything he’d done up that point. 

    They then waited until Texas had sorted its commitments out to retention, to guys in the portal and the signing class, at which point they doubled their ask, bringing it up massively. The choice was to meet the ask rather than risk not having a replacement and even facing, if I remember correctly, the premise of him leaving before the ASU or Ohio State game (can’t remember which). 

    That ultimately impacted the ability to land other portal guys who had an interest in Texas at other key positions. 

    Now the dude is asking for something like $1M. I hope Texas laughed in his fucking face. I think he is worth backup money to someone else, but they’ll find someone desperate and he’ll get $500K or something. For Texas, having him on the roster and drawing a paycheck puts other players at risk of leaving. So, yeah, fuck him. 

    The money story is fake news.  Moore sees the writing on the wall.  He knows next season Parker Livingstone is getting 90% of Arch Manning's targets and the rest will be fighting for scraps, mostly in garbage time.

    Elko's main issue is he has no rolodex or connections to get coordinators or position coaches.  He'd take those meh coordinators he just promoted with him to his next stop, probably. 

    Yeah, I posted in another thread, but in Looch's post-game show on Saturday he actually tossed aside the typical wait-till-next-season sunshine for a moment and seemed to express some measure of concern that Elko promoted within for OC and DC.  I can imagine a "who would your coordinator hires be" discussion not going over well in an interview.

    Imagine you are a Blue Blood and your OC leaves for *checks notes* Missouri. Oof!

    Not a good look, but in all fairness, he probably knows there's a good chance the new HC will hire his own staff, so he's jumping on what might be the best job available instead of waiting to see how the shitshow of Michigan's head coaching search shakes out.

    Edit:  Js1 beat me to it.
