[HORNS GUY]

One thing the Gideon hire for sure tells us is that Chris Ash is gone

Something is up. I say this because you normally see a DC in place before other defensive coaching hires are made.

Yep, common practice tells us a DC has signed off on this.

We shall see.

Per TFB, confirms that Sark and Arnett have spoken. This is happening based on what Sark saw Arnett do when the two teams faced each other this year. Sark was impressed.

Arnett is still probably #3 candidate right now. Thinks Muschamp and Tosh are ahead of him.

Also, he's heard that Bama will change DC's after the national championship game. Thinks Muschamp is their target.

On the Gideon hire, makes you wonder if Muschamp came back in the fold and finalizing negotiations.

Or is he going to hold out for the Bama job?

Tosh was mentioned as the sole DC?

Do any of these other potential DCs have a connection to Gideon? I think someone at some point mentioned Belk from Houston? I think he overlapped with Gideon.

I was thinking about the same thing, but all I landed on was an SEC connection to Gideon for both Arnett and Odom.

where would you go if you were him...I like WM always have, wish he would come back, but given the two choices I think its Bama

 

[longhorn_mig]

Actually, I think someone only mentioned Belk as a possible DB coach.

Gideon was at Auburn same time as Muschamp and his 1st year at South Carolina . . .

 

[TFloss32]

Bruce Feldman added that Gideon would likely coach safeties in addition to his special teams duties.

Correct, but speaking on DCs not named Muschamp.

 

[DBOOK23]

This looks good for a Corey Raymond hire too

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Tosh was mentioned as the sole DC?

Didn't go into detail. He has previously said he thought Tosh would be a co-DC only.

Is Oscar Giles going to remain?  I can't remember to much info flying by.  But if he is retained I think he coached with Muschamp too at Texas.

We should be going after the Auburn DL coach idk if he’s a legacy there or not but besides Larry Johnson he is the best recruiter of dlinemen in the country
