Breaking News: Sterlin Gilbert Interviewed This Morning for OC Position

[BevoBlake]

With dead period starting on the 15th, Charlie needs to get this done in a hurry. A year late is better than never.

I am assuming Charlie moved back his in home visit with Shane?

Apparently we want the OC by Friday. If it's not Gilberrt, I could see Strong turning to Traylor.

 

[DMAC]

Yes - one of the pay sites reported that visit has been moved to Sunday.

Thats good.  Introduction to the new OC hopefully.

If Gilbert falls through, I wouldnt mind Traylor as OC.  I would rather have Traylor than Lashlee.

According to Bobby Burton, as of 3:30 today, Charlie had not offered the position to Gilbert but was considering it.

247 also says CS "reaching out to several people who have worked with Gilbert" and will then make a decision on an offer.

Can't blame him for doing his due diligence. This could be the last big hire he makes at Texas if it doesn't work out with the new OC.

LOL, does he reach out to Briles? If so, any chance we can get conferenced in for that conversation?

Calls like that should've been made prior to ever bringing him in. The disorganized Charlie appears to be the truth and not a myth.

Ah yes. The quote from the unnamed parent of some random recruit.

You know that he didn't? It's one thing to make calls before you bring a guy in - but you want to do as much due diligence as possible before actually offering.

 

[drgilbert]

If he didn't make calls it could have been because he thought he had Cumbie in the bag. Then they might of had to scramble to get Gilbert here. Maybe, I don't have any sources though. Sorry

 

[TeamMayhall]

Seems like any other job interview. If they like you, they call your sources and run a background check...Simple as that

 

[Hanna]

How do you know that in the interview Gilbert didn't bring up some names that'd he'd like to bring in with him and Strong wants to do due diligence on those guys as well? With his arse on the line would you expect anything less?

OB reporting Sterlin Gilbert has left Austin.
A formal agreement could come as soon as tomorrow.
Also, Tulsa players should be informed tonight of the decision.

Here is an article about him from Tulsa paper

Thanks for posting. I like the hire.

Why? I've been on both sides of the hiring process and the candidate is always interviewed prior to calling references. You don't waste your time calling references of somebody your mm haven't personally spoken with about the position.
