Staff updates from 247...

- while Dennis Simmons could be tough to pry away from Norman even with Texas offering to double his salary, there is definitely mutual interest there despite Simmons being named Associate HC at OU in 2019 and he's coached with Lincoln Riley going back the Leach era at Texas Tech.

- Bo Davis is the leading candidate to coach the DL at Texas and has been offered the job, but he's holding off right now to see what other NFL opportunities there may be including what will happen with the Detroit Lions since they will be hiring a new head coach.

- Corey Raymond is open to leaving LSU because of all of the off-the-field turmoil going on there, plus the program having to replace its entire defensive staff.

- Alabama TEs coach, Jeff Banks, is not off the table for Texas just yet, and it's expected that his final decision will come early next week after the national title game. Banks' decision potentially affects what position Blake Gideon will coach due to his special teams experience.

 
Two quick notes from IT last night...

- they believe Corey Raymond is the priority at the DB position despite the new talk of Derrick Ansley going around, and Texas has had more contact with Raymond to this point.

- they agree that Jeff Banks hasn't necessarily made the decision to stay at Alabama even though reports said otherwise earlier in the week.

 
Per Hamilton at IT, Alabama source saying Jeff Banks should be staying in Tuscaloosa.

Not as confident as they were that WRs coach, Holmon Wiggins, will be leaving for Texas.

 
Pruitt being fired is picking up steam by the day.

IT hinting that Derrick Ansley will go to Texas if Sark wants him.
