Good for him but damn, one of the assistants I didn’t want to lose. 

This will hurt with a Rueben Owens

Sark has the chance to either get a upgrade X's and O's guy like a former OC or HC from somewhere or a volume recruiter, volume recruiters are hard to find. Hes likely looking for a new WR coach too.

Sure but Drayton was one guy who we knew had his position locked down both in coaching and recruiting. Best position group on our team by far right now.

No doubt Drayton is a big loss. But there's still an opportunity to upgrade. Thats all i'm saying. Not sure you'll get a better developer than Drayton but he was not excellent in all areas.

Five candidates to replace Stan Drayton as running back coach

Five candidates to replace Stan Drayton as running back coach

Mike Roach
 

Stan Drayton is off to Temple to be their head coach. Texas had a lot of stability with Drayton as the running back coach over the last few years. Where can Texas look next? Here’s a look at five candidates who could fit at Texas.


Brandon Harris – Internal promotion


Harris has been looking to move his career to an on-field role, and his work as an assistant with Stan Drayton during his first few years on campus would allow him to transition into the room seamlessly. Many coaches get their first on-field experience at a position like running back, and Harris’s ability to get on the road and use his strong recruiting skills would help the Texas staff. There is a possibility that Drayton chooses to take Harris with him as a position coach at Temple as well. Texas could look at other coaches in the personnel department such as Chris Gilbert for this role as well.

Chris Gilbert - Internal promotion


Gilbert has been fantastic behind the scenes as a recruiter in his first year on the 40 Acres.  A long time offensive coach at the high school level, Gilbert is a veteran coach who could help stop the drop-off Texas would feel in recruiting.  Gilbert would be a dynamic recruiter in Dallas where he was born and raised, but his former status as an executive officer in the THSCA would allow him to reach all over the state of Texas.  There will likely come a time where a school tries to poach Gilbert with promises of an on-field role.  Texas could head that off by elevating Gilbert and benefitting in the recruiting realm.

Brennan Marion – Pittsburgh


Marion has been working his way up through the lower levels, but he’s starting to gain some national acclaim for his work. A Hampton, Virginia native, Marion played at Tulsa and spent a little bit of time in the NFL before moving onto his coaching career. Marion spent time at the high school level before moving up to Arizona State as an analyst and then Oklahoma Baptist as a running back coach. After stints at Howard and William & Mary, Marion was hired at Hawaii in 2020. In 2021, Marion joined the Pittsburgh coaching staff and helped lead the Panthers to the ACC Title. Marion has been recruiting Texas and Oklahoma for quite a while, and he’s one of the best young innovative minds in the game. The creator of the Go Go Offense, Marion could add some new offensive ideas to Steve Sarkisian’s playbook. Marion is a receiver coach at the moment, but he does have history as a running back coach and could be a plus recruiter.

Keith Bhonapha – Washington


Bhonapha was born in Oakland and grew up in the Bay Area. After a college career at Hawaii, Bhonapha moved into the director of football operations role at Boise State. Following a three-year stint, Bhonapha was named running backs coach and recruiting coordinator. He followed Chris Petersen to Washington in 2014 to serve the same role where he helped recruit Hawaii, Washington, California and Texas. Bhonapha’s time at Boise State and Washington overlaps with Pete Kwiatkowski and Jeff Choate, and that familiarity could help him land the job.

Nate Scheelhaase– Iowa State


A former four-star recruit, Scheelhaase played quarterback at Illinois after being named a four-star prospect. After his playing career ended, Scheelhaase was named to the football operations department at Illinois as an assistant. He was later elevated to running backs coach for the Illini. Scheelhaase joined Matt Campbell’s staff in 2018 as a running backs coach. After serving the 2019 and 2020 seasons as a wide receiver coach, Scheelhaase had his role expanded to include running backs, receivers and the running game coordinator title. At Iowa State, Scheelhaase coached David Montgomery and Breece Hall. Scheelhaase was named to the 247Sports 30 Under 30 as one of the biggest rising stars in the profession.
