Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
HateYouAndMyself replied to Im_smarter_then_you's topic in Football
PK has said many times in the past that he can coach any of the front 7. He just sort of defaulted into OLBs but I doubt he would have any issue moving over to focus more on ILBs if we get someone like Tosh who is more comfortable with OLB. He definitely had a direct hand in coaching and controlling all LBs not just OLBs (more so than just the general way a DC has a hand in everything). -

I envy the lucky mother fuckers who went to bed before the Mike Stoops news broke and wake up / check the internet after its already been refuted. They will never know the emotional scars us survivors of the ~10 hour 'Mike Stoops LB coach' tenure will carry for the rest of our lives. -

Yes. Iirc it was basically that Oregon DC gig and the Cowboys DL gigs were probably the only two openings realistically there for Tosh better than simply being our Co-DC / LB coach. Both from a pay standpoint and from a "what puts him on the path to being a HC?" (his end goal). His previous issue at Bama was a failure to properly understand passing defenses and not being a great playcaller. He could now, in theory, join a staff with one of the best modern playcallers alive (PK) AND one of the most respected passing defense scheme minds in football (Joseph). So for many reasons we are an extremely attractive landing spot for Tosh. I've seen a lot of people take it for granted he could just land another position coach gig in the NFL but those mostly come through direct connections with current DCs / HCs and his last HC is now a DC who didn't want to hire him as DL coach for the Cows so its far from a given he would even have an NFL gig to consider vs taking the Texas job. -

Agreed. This hire would be so immediately toxic to recruiting, especially when we are currently trying to attract LBs through the portal.... no way they would let this float for ever a few hours if fake. It did break late but only like 1030; hardly middle of the night. SOMEONE would have been spamming their contacts to push out 'this is not true' if it were wrong. Also the timing of this coming out fits- cowardly fucks decided to slide it in at the end of the cycle I guess hoping they banked enough positivity they could get away with it? Or they simply wanted to avoid having 10 high profile zoom calls where the first question is "How could you hire that fucking retard?" I guess there is some tiny chance this was being intentionally leaked to gauge the fan/player reactions but that is likely a pipe dream. -

I wasn't following things as closely during the infamous "I'll drag my feet so I can slip in Watson" debacle but this has to be worse, right? I mean the initial reports all said Mike Stoops and we never once were credibly linked to an ILB name otherwise until the past few days. Seemed clear from the jump we were never keeping Hutzler, too. So if you accept that Stoops was always the name you have to look at the timing of this as being abhorrently cowardly. Like he waits till after all the Zoom calls where he knew parents, former players, BMDs, etc would all absolutely fucking destroy him for the Stoops hire and then tries to drop it in at the 11th hour. Cowardly, dickless move. Even if you disagree about how bad a Mike Stoops hire might be the way it came about like this, waiting and waiting to sneak it in, is fucking pathetic. -
Fuck Mike Stoops. Fuck Sark. Fuck all the goddamn morons in our administration who somehow failed to stop this. How could you EVER think that hiring the jackass retarded Stoops brother is going to be okay?? How the fuck do you let a good, well liked, respected LB coach go out the door so you can hire that fucking retard in the first place??? Just fuck every decision maker involved in this and fuck every pussy ass suit who didn't stop it. No wonder we didn't manage to close the deal on the better options- this dumb fuck Sark was just trying to pull a Charlie all along and sneak in Stoops through the backdoor. Watson 2.0.

He was a pretty good OLB coach for his three years at Bama and the way PK's system works there is quite a bit of overlap with usually one of the OLBs on the field playing at the edge position (often two). PK teaches OLBs at Wash but can just as easily focus on ILB instead as he himself has said in the past. I tend to think the Lupoi ship has sailed and there are plenty of other really good options likely less to meddle / interfere with PK doing his thing but from a positional coaching standpoint Lupoi actually fits nicely into the hole we have. -

I don't want him anywhere near the program. He was joined with Sark at the hip during the worst of his antics and so far at least we have managed to create a staff that is free of old Sark associates / enablers from his black out drunk days. Nansen is a good coach, fits our need at ILB, solid recruiter.. all that resume shit fits... but why take the risk? Too many good options there that do not have a shared history of enabling / covering for Sark when he was at his absolute worst. -

I think they were being sarcastic. Like how if FCB puts something out there we immediately go "well we know THAT isn't happening". So this guy saying "It is a done deal" had that poster sarcastically saying "oh well relax then because no ways its true" -

Whoever rounds out the defensive staff really needs to be a great recruiter. Davis is great but Gideon is a complete unknown (I expect him to develop into a great one with all his Texas HS ties but it'll take time), Joseph is an okay recruiter but nothing special, and Peter K is generally considered a non-factor in recruitment beyond simply guys wanting to play for his defense. So we just go hire the best recruiter we can find who coaches LBs or CBs and call this bitch done? -

The timing of this makes me certain we were just waiting out the Pruitt situation. There was always a chance he wouldn't directly get tied into the scandal or they would be lesser infractions not full on Level 1 shit. Instead he gets fired for cause and that pretty much makes him radioactive and then BOOM we pivot to an excellent Option B in Peter K. We still get to wildly speculate about who the final position coach will be at least for now. -

Yeah that "currently has a really good job" line makes me think it is NOT Tim Deyruter. Maybe I need to change my guess. Obviously it is subjective and maybe TFB just has a very positive outlook on the world but I consider Cal a third tier program in a conference that hasn't sniffed consistent relevance in a decade. I wouldn't call that a really good gig. Compared to like fucking UNT sure but in a general sense? Nah. Even if you disagree about Cal's stature, Deruyter is currently in a somewhat awkward position as his HC Wilcox seems to be increasingly favoring Sirmon as his right hand guy instead. -

Someone needs to leak that we are targeting Elko just to fuck with the Aggers before national signing day. Can we deepfake a picture of him playing fetch with Bank's monkey? -

That specific part about the Arnett being Sark's favorite but not a big enough name has to be absolute bullshit right? Surely we are not so fucking stupid as a program to allow the money folks any say whatsoever in the coordinator hire. I mean its one thing to give them sway over the HC search when they are being asked to write so many checks. It is even reasonable for them to put their foot down and be like "No, you cannot hire the retard crackhead Stoops brother" but to think they could reject a name like Arnett is absurd. My guess remains DeRuyter. Kind of threw it out as a blind guess after they first mentioned the mystery guy and the way they describe him here as "a bigger name with more of a track record but still not a HUGE name" fits. I think it will be a brutally underwhelming hire and a step back from Ash but not like a Watson-tier debacle if correct. -

Hire Pruitt as DC then throw like 1.8M at Raymond to be Co-DC / CBs coach. Take whatever is left of that war chest and throw it at the compliance team to make sure Pruitt and Raymond get approved 😂 -

I wouldn't think Ansley qualifies as mystery candidate but maybe TFB are just being really lame. He has definitely been talked about with connection to UT before by some insiders just not as much lately. Schumann is a damned interesting name. Not sure how I would react to that hire.. would be extremely risky but high upside. If we were going that way I would think we just go Arnett who at least has a proven track record? Weird to see that article so bluntly call him a favorite for Texas when no one around Texas afaik has mentioned him before now. Doesn't mean they are wrong- just odd. -

my brain: This will probably be something thoroughly underwhelming like DeRuyter.... Surly discussed him a lot but insiders really haven't so I tend to think he would qualify. Cal defense is entirely run by their HC Wilcox and this would be a C-tier hire at best but if this mystery thing isn't bullshit that is my blind guess. my heart: WE GIVING VENABLES 4M A YEAR LETS GOOOO BRING ON THAT TINY TROLL FACED FUCK -

You have to read between the lines. TFB isn't saying we are going to hire a mystery candidate. They are saying our candidate is a man of mystery. Its a hint. -
Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
HateYouAndMyself replied to Im_smarter_then_you's topic in Football
The ONLY reason I'm not going to immediately call bullshit on this is due to the fact that Allen's career has stalled out in the NFL. Five solid years as Saints DC and he isn't sniffing HC interviews or getting much buzz at all for openings. If anything his star has dimmed a bit. Plus he will always have that awful time as Raider HC weighing against him... So is this almost certainly insider horseshit with them just throwing out NFL guys that could, in theory, explain the delay in the DC hiring process? Absolutely. But could Allen potentially view college as the only place he will ever be a HC again? And a couple years as Texas DC a prime way to get a cushy college job ASAP? I mean.. yeah, in theory. -

I know I'm a bit late to the discussion but since people seem genuinely confused: Director of player personnel: (Chang's old role now filled by Hughes) This is the married friend who identifies all the hot fuckable women who will be at the party and warns you which ones are crazy and which ones have herpes Director of recruiting: (Carrington) This is the female friend who plays wingman and helps talk up the single friend to the non-crazy / preferably disease free fuckable women Coaches: The single friend who actually has to close the deal and gets to fuck Carrington has very little say/role in actually identifying the targets just as the personnel director has basically no role in trying to close on them. Evaluate Carrington by *how many targets walk through the door and evaluate Hughes by which targets were given the invitations. Two very different roles. -

No thanks. I don't want anyone from the BiG. The BiG is the special Olympics of power conferences. Sure their coaches might look good on defense but its only because they are going up against actual fucking retards. The only halfway decent offense in that conference is OSU and even they are up and down more often than not. Is he probably a great coach? Sure. Will someone like Hippo probably come along and fart out a lot of advanced metrics to say this is a terrible take? Probably and fair enough if they do... but I personally only want a coach who has shown at least SOME semblance of competence actually having faced offenses like they will in the big 12. That narrows down the candidate pool drastically but it shouldn't stop us from still finding someone who is actually used to facing elite athlete and not corn fed white people who run a 4.8 up and down the other side of the field. -

I swear at this point Sark is just hiring anyone he can find with direct Muschamp ties in order to troll fans. He has not been personally linked to the scandal AFAIK (at least nothing public indicates as much) and he would not be personally responsible for a lack of oversight or anything like what will probably land on Pruitt once the NCAA wades in. -

I've seen several mentions that Pruitt has been on the phone and potentially even flying out to do in person visits with some people this weekend to smooth concerns about his situation and make sure folks know he is coming back and nothing has changed. There is even buzz around Fake-UT that one of the other coaches is likely going to be the fall guy and Pruitt will stay. Could be nothing but all round there seems to be a definitive tonal shift following the Pruitt meetings with the investigators and school lawyers on Thursday/Friday that would imply he is likely staying. Or in the very least HE thinks he is staying. -

Okay so lets assume you are not trolling and making an honest point: it is still a bad one. Bo Davis is someone you kill to have on your staff and any DC who wouldn't want him is an actual fucking retard we should never hire anyway. If we had delayed his hiring by even days he would have ended up at any of the dozens of other places in college and the NFL killing to have him. Joseph was a similar deal; either snatch him then or miss out. He wasn't going to be available by the title game let alone now when we still haven't made the DC hire. The only other member of the defensive staff, and the only one that is arguably a questionable hire, is Gideon. In retrospect had we known Banks was coming it is likely we would not have pressed so hard to get him as quickly as we did but he had plenty of offers out there and likely would not have been available. Considered a rising star, fuck tons of connections with HS coaches (something Texas badly needs to repair) and a lot of people our decision makers respect consider him basically 'the next great up and coming defensive coach'. Plus you really need at least one guy on staff who actually knows what its like to be a student at the program itself and he fits that bill as well. TLDR You have to be actually fucking retarded to take issue with Bo Davis or Joseph hires, DC in place or not, and Gideon made a ton of sense at the time (and still does) as well. DC can still bring along one underling.
