Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
At this point they are 'hitting' on so many A+ hires that I completely agree; if the biggest question mark we come out of this hiring phase with is "only Gideon and Joseph to coach secondary?" they will still have done a remarkably good job and deserve the benefit of the doubt. The feedback on Joseph is inconsistent anyway. Agger feelings on Joseph (dating back to before we hired him so not stained by just their typical salty retardation) seem to be he was an excellent recruiter but terrible at player development. ND is kind of the opposite; lots of praise for his development of safeties but concerns he isn't a great recruiter (I blame ND being a shitty pretentious playground for pedophiles that kids don't want to leave the south the play for, personally). Everyone seems to agree he has a great 'football IQ' and should help us developing defensive schemes against Big 12 offenses, though.

The perception of him as a CB coach seems to be fairly shit, though, based on his prior stops before ND. Is much more well regarded when it comes to developing safeties. Hard to tell how much of that is reality vs how much is just retroactive 'oh yeah he sucks' after he left those programs or now that he has gone to Texas though. Maybe he will be the kind of player developmental ace our secondary has been sorely lacking for.. a decade, basically, and I just need to stop worrying about it.

Would normally assume all of this is bullshit but now that he is the CDC chosen mouthpiece.. have to say his explanation for the Golding situation actually makes a lot of sense. Certainly more any of the other floated scenarios or explanations as to why the fuck the coaching search is taking so long at DC / who is involved. Hoping he is at least wrong about us potentially hiring a second DL guy to be DE/OLB and DC to do ILB. Really feels like a predictable disaster if we only have Joseph and Gideon handling the secondary and no one with a positive track record working with CBs.

We would have to be damned confident that he was not directly involved in whatever shady shit took place. Lack of oversight I think we would swallow, considering Pruitt's god tier status as a DC and recruiter.. plus with his failing so miserably at Fake-UT he probably sticks here for quite some time at DC. That might make the risk more worthwhile. Not something I expect to happen from his side or ours but holy fuck he is an A+++ hire. Realistically this is just a "If the new Bama OC is fucking stupid enough to not want Banks, we will hire him" situation but I really can't see Saban allowing whoever comes in to kick their best offensive recruiter to the curb. Luckily at the TE role, and with Giddeon on staff able to do ST, we can afford to wait it out.

So how exactly does a Show Cause work? If Pruitt gets hit by one can we just make the NCAA panel watch tape of our defense over the last 8 seasons until they finally relent and are like 'Fucking hell, yeah you guys need to hire him"?

Can't edit anymore~ meant Ansley, not Ayers. I always mix up those two names.

Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
I would love it but this sounds extremely far fetched. Isn't he going to get caught up in all the bullshit with their investigation and scandal? If Pruitt is even an option you throw a blank fucking check at him and Ayers (to come be his co-DC / CB coach) and you call if a done fucking deal. Even if you have to blow apart the coordinator pay record by a cool mill. Just not sure the Fake-UT shit will be resolved quickly enough for us to be able to wait and see how it plays out.

Nothing new on coaching search at all. Milwee, Joseph, and Gideon are on campus but those were all basically confirmed anyway. Flood is flying in today/tonight. Bo Davis is ALSO on campus which is nice to see because there had been chatter this weekend he might weigh other options. Sark meeting wish Boulware (surprising because most of us thought he was fired?) and Giles today. hopefully just to offer them analyst positions.

Did anyone go into the plane afterwards to confirm it was empty? Maybe Golding, Wiggins and Flood are hiding in the bathroom waiting for the right moment to spring themselves upon Austin. (that guy had called the Sark hiring like on Dec 20th so I was somewhat hopeful that MAYBE he wasn't absolutely full of shit when he posted the airplane thing but looks like it was just BS guesswork as expected)

I'm going to just assume that Arnett was there as a secret agent using the pretense of an LSU interview to meet Raymond and see if they can co-exist at Texas.

To join Meyer in the NFL (if that happens)? Yes. To go be co-DC in FU with that shitty Grantham? Hell no.- Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
I think Golding was only ever going to happen if Pruitt was fired by Fake-UT and avoided catching a show cause or otherwise getting caught up in the stink of that scandal. Sounds like Pruitt is absolutely fucked and fully implicated in whatever nonsense they had going on down there, though. Minor silver lining with Arnett is if LSU is trying this hard to get him maybe they bend and let him bring that CB coach? Even if they won't force him out it might make them bid a bit less hard to keep him anyway.- Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
I don't buy that Football scoop article claiming Arnett is or has always been our top target. If that is true we have gone about this in a profoundly idiotic way. Could have locked him up days ago before Oregon got involved and certainly while LSU was still jerking itself to the idea of Freeman. We could still get Arnett but now it'll come with a 3 way bidding war driving up his price. So why wouldn't that have already been taken care of? Were we holding out for Quinn? That would be a pretty fucking dumb reason as him staying in the NFL was predictable as hell. The Raymond ghosting stuff is just bizarre and I'm not even going to bother trying to understand it until the hiring process is over. I'm a bit concerned we are trying to slow play him because Sark prefers Tosh and knows there isn't room for both plus the primary DC but Raymond is the kind of a guy where if you are getting a yes you take a yes and just write off whatever your 'alternative' plans were. Ash ultimately being the guy would feel like a bit of a dick punch but I went into this process reconciled to his return and being mostly okay with it so despite some sexier names having come and gone I guess I can't bitch if he is the choice. Especially if we just keep Hutzler. Would make that Joseph hire.. just fucking weird though since he isn't that great a complimentary piece to Ash. Lots of overlap in skillset and specialty.- Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
Maybe Sark is traveling by hot air balloon so he can pick up Brees for that analyst role without ruining the surprise- Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
I'm a bit surprised nothing has started to leak about Golding (if he is in fact our DC hire). You would think right about now is when Bama insiders would be told to leak that shit so they can get the initial shock over with amidst the celebration of the win and then pivot right into a replacement announcement late tonight or early tomorrow. Certainly doesn't mean its 'not' happening, but I was expecting something just like the O'Brien story that got put out there around kickoff.- Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
- Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
I wonder if Bama hiring O'brien makes it more or less likely that Banks will walk and join us in Austin. I would think O'Brien has 'his guys' he will want to install in at least a few positions, right? I still think Banks is the white whale of the various Bama coaches who could potentially come with Sark (Flood would be I guess but I take that as a given)- Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
When did Crowder trade in his balls for the most feminine and dainty of vaginas? NTTAWWT- Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
Yadier Molina couldn't find an MLB gig so he is instead joining us an QB analyst. He will split the load with Drew Brees- Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
This is probably bullshit but I'm choosing to believe its real until proven otherwise edit: just realized this probably the wrong thread for it but oh well- Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
We just need to pretend we are hiring Golding, find out whoever Saban is going to replace him with and then offer THAT person like 4M a year to be DC- CFP National Championship: Alabama vs Ohio State
Can we hire whoever at Bama is able to use this black magic fuckery to always take out the opposing team's best offensive player on the first series of the game?- Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
Personally would have preferred Arnett + Raymond over Golding + Scott but both are fairly great outcomes. Even if Golding underwhelms he should help Sark establish that Bama winning mentality throughout the program. A lot easier to impose all those small things that Bama does that give them an edge when you have both coordinators having just been coaching there. I don't care if we end up a shameless copy of the Bama program and their methods; it fucking works.- Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
Simmons decides to stay with Sooners (was probably only ever fishing for a raise), Wiggins is a no, can't really get Tee Martin because of the scandal / ongoing investigation and then the USC guy is really not THAT dramatic an upgrade if at all over Coleman.. I can see in that circumstance just giving Coleman his shot with this different scheme and less ass surrounding him at other coaching positions. I do think we need to land big at TE coach, though. Flood is a solid recruiter but I'm not sure he can be 'the guy' to drive shit home and Coleman / Drayton are competent but not needle pushers. If anything at all maybe some player we were hoping to flip declared he is sticking with Bama / going there instead but I fully agree its dumb as fuck to believe that Saban would risk pissing off or alienating the guy about to call his championship game by dramatically flipping a coach from him an hour before kickoff - Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
