    Why FloridaHorn, are we cross? What an ugly tone. I tell you what, we should have a bet on it. You can take the position that Texas will release the assistant coaching list right before gametime of the college football national title game to "make the biggest splash" and I'll take the position that that reads like fantasy and will not happen. Let's bet something on it. 

    Also, that's the dumbest fucking PR move ever if they actually do that. Tomorrow would be a great day to do that shit. Tonight is terrible timing and just stupid. So, hey, maybe it does happen since Texas always does stupid shit like that. 

    Also also, remember that time right before the Bama/ND semifinal in which they announced Sarkisian to Texas in order to "make the biggest splash?" Yeah, me neither. 

    No reason to stick Texas' name on a defensive coach whos about to give up 40 points minimum and have everybody question the hire all night. Better to have a headline say "national championship winning coach poached by Texas" tomorrow morning.

    biggest agents = sexton? 

    It's boom! holy shit! /overreaction 

    He also represents Pruitt who would be a logical replacement for Golding. That means Pruitt is probably a no go this year for Saban and Boom really does want to take the year off. Or Boom is just slow playing..

    To my knowledge the least three least talked about positions have been tight end, linebacker, and defensive coordinator. At least in terms of legitimate conversations.

     

    DC/LB are likely to be the same positional coach. 

     

    As far as tight end it's just a guessing game.

    If Golding is option 1 then you can offer Raymond and Lupoi Co DC and if one takes the bait then we'll be happy either way. 

    If Arnett is the choice it looks like he'll coach LB and bring a DB coach with him. 

    This is all assuming Gideon doesn't go to TE.

    Of we are getting Dennis Simmons and Corey Raymond so Blake could just go to ST/TE since those two guys are elite recruiters.

     

    QB: Milwee

    RB: Drayton

    Co-Oc/OL - Flood

    TE/ST - Gideon

    Co-OC/WR - Simmons

     

    DL - Davis

    Co-DC/LB - Whomever is the playcalling DC

    Safeties - Terry Joseph

    Co-DC/CB - Raymond

    You still have one more on the defensive side to add. Tosh could help with LB or DL. Think he would require Co DC more than Raymond.

    Roach on Tosh

    I’ve been told there have been substantial conversations between Tosh Lupoi and Texas. From what I know, if he wants a job there’s an opening here from him. He and Sark are close but I’ve been told it is not for any play calling duties on defense. As I reported last week, Lupoi really wants to come back as a DC and play caller to get back on track towards being a head coach.

    One school to watch out for is Oregon. The Ducks have a DC opening and head coach Mario Cristobal is also close with Lupoi. Lupoi also has family in the Pacific Northwest so Oregon would be very intriguing. If Cristobal offers him play calling duties that could be a wrap. 

    I’m told he’s still mulling over options.

    With the DC likely being Golding then that leaves Arnett going to Oregon so Tosh more than likely won't have the option to call plays there.

    Also Oregon 247 posters are excited Todd Orlando could be a DC there so pray for those poor souls.

    Of the potential coaching targets that Josh Brown has followed, have you checked to see which of them have followed him back? If the thought is that JB is in some way involved in the hiring or onboarding process, that would seem relevant since most people have their Twitter account set to where they can't be DM'ed by anyone that they don't follow. 

    Don't think he is involved in a major way but thinking he must have a buddy on the onboarding side that is feeding him stuff.

    He coached DB/Safeties before he got to Alabama. Also - Alabama DB coach Karl Scott is a Golding guy who worked with him at Southeastern and Tusculum before being hired to be a part of Golding’s staff at Alabama. If Golding is the hire and is bringing a coach with him - I’d expect it to be Scott. 

    Karl Scott you say?

    Has anyone checked our favorite Twitter user's recent follows for Terry Joseph or anyone else of note lately?

    I'm on mobile so I can't filter by most recent.

    He did follow Joseph. Think he followed Wiggins pretty recently as well.

    I was confused for a second reading the Freeman hire tweet and couldn't figure out who Bob Hinton was. 

    I then realized: "oh, they have a name for their defensive coordinator like you'd name a stadium or an award"

    They really are a lot like aggy.

    Georgia does the same thing with their DC

  10. Also something to note about Arnett is that he coaches under Leach who, correct me if I am wrong, requires so much repetition of the air raid in practice that the defense usually suffers. The fact that he was able to shine through that and still be in high demand after only 1 year says a lot about his potential.

    Spoiler

    Here's the latest on what we're hearing regarding the staff being put together by Steve Sarkisian at Texas:


    * Oklahoma receivers coach Dennis Simmons, a teammate of Steve Sarkisian's at BYU, is someone to definitely keep an eye on as a possible staff addition for Sark. We reported this in today's Morning Brew.

    Simmons was named associate head coach at OU in 2019 and has history with Lincoln Riley dating back to their days together at Texas Tech under Mike Leach and again at East Carolina under Ruffin McNeill. Could be a tough sell for Sark to pry Simmons out of Norman, but we're hearing there's definitely interest from Sark in Simmons.


    * While Bo Davis is the leading defensive line coach candidate for Sarkisian (and has been offered the job, according to a source close to the situation), we're hearing Davis is holding off on taking the Texas job until he sees what NFL opportunities might be available, including with his current team - the Detroit Lions.

    Davis spent the last three seasons as the defensive line coach of the Lions under Matt Patricia. The Lions are now in the process of looking for a new head coach.


    * We're hearing LSU cornerbacks coach Corey Raymond, who also serves as the Tigers' recruiting coordinator, might be open to leaving Baton Rouge, because of all the recent turnover on LSU's staff. We can confirm there is interest from Sarkisian in adding Raymond to the Texas staff. Football Scoop was the first to report.


    * Alabama tight ends and special teams coach Jeff Banks will wait until after Monday's national championship game to decide if he wants to join Sarkisian's staff at Texas, according to a source close to the situation.


    * Once Banks makes his decision, it will become clear if Blake Gideon is coaching special teams at Texas or working as a defensive position coach in the secondary (safeties).


    * We reported in the INSIDER this week that former Atlanta Falcons head coach and former Seattle Seahawks' defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, Cincinnati defensive coordinator Marcus Freeman, Mississippi State defensive coordinator Zach Arnett and Texas defensive coordinator Chris Ash were all on Sarkisian's short list of candidates for defensive coordinator.

    * We've reported Alabama offensive line coach Kyle Flood is expected to accept the same position at Texas - probably with the offensive coordinator title (even though Sark will call the offensive plays).
