Coaching Changes, Rumors, Misc.

Scanning his Bio on the SC site, seems to have had success coaching ST. At least his returners performed well at previous stops. He also will bring some things he learned defensively from Coach Boom which should be a plus.

Don’t know much about SC Special Teams but I like it? I know he can develop being that he’s coached for muschamp but can he recruit?

 
Was he a good ST coordinator?
I would say yes on that.

"Coleman Hutzler is a guy that was with our staff the first year, understands and knows our special-teams system, how we teach it, our teaching progression," head coach Will Muschamp said last week in introducing his new coaches. "He'll implement it very well. He's a guy that really had a year interview, so to speak, the first year he was here.

:)

Coleman Hutzler, 31, spent the 2015 season as the special teams coordinator and outside linebackers coach at Boston College. During his year in Chestnut Hill, freshman Michael Walker ranked in the top 10 in the nation in kick return average, while the Eagles were second in the nation in punt return defense, allowing just 1.66 yards per return. BC also blocked three punts on the year. Hutzler was also part of a staff that produced the nation’s stingiest defense, as the Eagles allowed just 254.3 yards per game and 24.1 percent of third down conversions and was second in rushing defense at 82.8 yards per contest.

Seems like he's been apart of some good defenses. No Texas ties is a worry, but shouldn't be a big deal since I never felt Orlando was a great recruiter.

 
ANDRE COLEMAN NAMED TEXAS' FULL-TIME  WIDE RECEIVERS  COACH

Remove the "interim" tag from Andre Coleman's title.

Coleman, who had served as Texas' wide receivers coach on an interim basis since Dec. 1, received a promotion from head coach Tom Herman on Monday. Coleman now is the Longhorns' full-time receivers coach.

"We are really fortunate and excited to be adding Andre to our full-time coaching staff," Herman said in a release. "He's a veteran coach who is highly respected, but working with him every day last year gave us a chance to personally see his passion for the game and love for the players. When he stepped in to coach our wide receivers, recruit and work more closely with our coaching staff and players for the Alamo Bowl, we all came away extremely impressed. Andre covers all the bases — he has a great offensive mind, is a tremendous and proven developer of players, outstanding recruiter and just an awesome person and addition to our staff."

Coleman, a Kansas State great and the team's offensive coordinator during the final year of Bill Snyder's tenure in 2018, said he was "excited to have the opportunity" to remain on Herman's staff.

"It's been a lifelong dream of mine to coach at school like Texas that's one of the perennial powers in college sports with such a great tradition and get a chance to recruit the top talent across the nation," he said. "I'm looking forward to helping these guys both on and off the field and helping our program be something our fans are proud of. I've learned so much from Coach Herman over the past year. He's one of the best football minds I've ever been around, and he's one of the best motivators I've ever been around. I'm excited for the opportunity to continue to grow and learn from him at Texas."

After taking over in his interim role last month, Coleman coached the team's receivers during practices for the Alamo Bowl. In the game — a dominant 38-10 victory over No. 11 Utah in San Antonio — the Longhorns' receivers hauled in nine passes for 165 yards and two touchdowns.

"We have a great group of guys in the receivers room," Coleman said. "They're hungry for knowledge, they want to learn and they want to get better. It's a coach's job to take kids to places they can't get to by themselves. I'm looking forward to that challenge of bringing out the best in them and watching their success. As a coach, I want to give them all the tools and all the knowledge that I have so that they can become the best players they can be, both on and off the field."

In addition to his on-field coaching role the past month, Coleman also became one of the Longhorns' full-time recruiters in the lead up to the early signing period, which ran from Dec. 18 to 20.

After leaving K-State following Snyder's retirement in December 2018, Coleman joined Texas' staff in an analyst role in February 2019.
