Big coaching news

Good point.

Unless Rumph actually DT's only.

Get some assistants with Texas roots and we will have an all star staff in recruiting. Strong and Rumph together gives us a southeast reach we've really never had in recruiting.

 

[dmloken]

But can he recruit Texas???

They flipped A'Shawn Robinson from us days before NSD. So yes. I think he can recruit Texas.

247 has him listed with the OT's but his profile has him as a DT. And that was the position we both were recruiting him at (DT).

Alabama's d-line has been their weakness. Switching to a 3-4?

 

[Tlouhorn]

This is getting good!

 

[Texasfight10]

So im assuming this means no Giles??

 

[NLeininger]

I see he played ball at South Carolina, probably when Strong was there.

Rumph played LB at South Carolina from 1991-1994, while Strong was at Florida.

Not trying to be a knot head, but this is about Texas, not frickin Bama. Hook Em

Your right and your not a knot head.

Solid hire.

 

[Chitownhorn]

Great hire. No one saw this one coming. Makes me wonder what else is going to happen that no one saw coming. #texasstrong.

 

[Etex Horn]

It's ironic that 5 Star DT A'Shawn Robinson ditched us two weeks before signing day and instead inked with Alabama...now their DL Coach is coming here.

 

[HornNdriftwood]

Get Wickine and we have something. You win games up front.

You win the battle in the trenches, it don't make a shit who your coordinator is.

 

[coolhorn]

It just opens up space for Saban to replace Rumph with Orgeron, which I saw elsewhere that he is doing.

I agree but it would be nice to have a proven and successful OC

I dunno.

I've said before - Ogeron who has bewn a HC, in NFL, I don't know if he could be servant to a very strong demanding HC like Saban to be only a position coach.

 

[DizzG]

Has there been any real report of Ed O to bama other than speculation? He's not really a position coach anyway. I could care less who bama hires. Texas got a great coach.

 

[KatyKid]

My guess is this situation is similar to their Offensive Coordinator situation (I.E. Saban wants to replace the coach so the coach takes another job). The Alabama boards seem to think this as well, saying that Saban is cleaning house a bit at Alabama. Not sure if this is a great hire or not.
