Let's Predict the Staff

[badboy783]

I have no clue where he goes on offense but I'll throw this out for defense.

Charlie Strong - HC

Jerry Gray - DC & DB's

Randy Shannon - LB's & Recruiting

Ed Orgeron - DL & Recruting Coordinator or Bo Davis

Oscar Giles - DE's & Recruting

Most likely you don't have DE and a DL coach most have said that position will be consolidated no matter who the coach was gonna be

 

[o5prey]

It wont be Chad Morris at OC

I doubt we get Orgeron if it's not as a DC - and I don't like that position for him.

 

[TheContractor]

Hopefully Ed O can get the co-DC title

 

[Hablue65]

Vance Bedford may follow from Louisville for DC.

So Chad Morris has a large buy out for a lateral move. Would hiring him and Asst HC and OC be lateral, currently he is OC and QB coach at Clemson

 

[sotxhorn]

Scott Frost (Oregon) for OC

 

[4th_and_18]

I like Matt Campbell as a possible OC

Wouldn't be surprised to see Greg stick around as DC one more season. Not that it's a sign, but he is one of the two who weren't transitioned to the special assistant title.

 

[Akersaway]

Laughable that we are going to get top assistants. We hired a tier 2 or 3 coach and now we are going to get tier 1 assistants to join him.? Step out of fantasy land we are in mediocrity and with this hire we just committed ourselves fully to it.

Texas is a fast track for HC jobs as a coordinator.

I'd love to see your Tiers list. Fact is, Strong is a badass defensive football coach, who will inspire these players and stop our team from playing like a bunch of softies. I think it was a good hire, provided he can get a stud OC to give us an offense. Make no mistake, Texas will have a MONSTER defense under this guy.

Yeah everyone is looking for a HC from the Charlie Strong coaching tree.

Or is it just the Texas entry on the resume? I guess a lot of programs are just dying to get their hands on the next Will Muschamp.

Saban, Harbaugh or even Fisher have some serious cachet to offer incoming coordinators who aspire to great head coaching gigs. We're going to get the middle of the roaders just happy to cash in and suck the UT teet dry.

 

[RoyalCrowns]

Vance Bedford will most likely come back home. Hook Em!

 

[acropora]

I'll play.

OC: Tom Herman (Ohio state)- Started at Texas, 98-2008 in Texas, also Scott Frost (Oregon), Philip Montgomery (Baylor)

RB: Applewhite: I still think he is among the elite recruiters on our staff, allows some continuity, running backs did well under him

OL: Searels - I personally felt he did a good to great job on the offensive line, tireless recruiter, also Bob Bostad (currently TB bucs, may be looking for a new job

WR:Dugans (UL) - Wyatt did a great job but likely looking to be an OC now

TE: Brewster - a huge part of our success, elite recruiter

DC: Bedford - another native comes home

DL: Hurdt (reportedly Strong's best recruiter) or Orgeron (a staff with Orgeron and Brewster is unfair, both with ties to California and Florida)

LB: Sal Sunseri (not going to happen but one of the best in the biz...maybe FSU can't pay him enough to keep him)

DB: Travaris Robinson (UF): Elite recruiter, great results, young

S&C: Shannon Turley (Stanford)

 

[acropora]

okay, assuming that the whole bringing his staff thing was a bluff/negotiation...anyone else have any thoughts or insights?

Hurtt will not work at Texas, so Orgeron.

Applewhite no way Porter be RB:

 

[utisdabomb12]

I have friends connected with Morris at Lake Travis. Apparently, he absolutely loves the Austin area. If he isn't offered a head coaching position, I think Texas could make a run at him if they were willing to pay big money. Throw something ridiculous at him, I think we get him IMO. If Texas spends the money on buyout and throw a huge salary out there, they can get him. Why not we are rich?

 

[Davharjac]

Would love Morris at OC, but I could see Miami making a run at him (I have no "sources") and he would not pass on that. I like Scott Frost, Jerrod running ability is similar to Marcus' and it would be awesome to see him cut it loose. I would also like to see a coach that uses the TE position and work the middle of the field, Swoopes would/could be a monster as a spread TE.

I just read on Louisville247 that Strong is going to bring Tom Herman with him as OC. I like that choice, hope they are right. I know that Morris is the guy that is going to get the most play but I believe he will be a HC somewhere soon and he has a huge buyout if he leaves to a non HC posistion.

 

[Boobie Miles]

I do not want Major to stay. Not to sound rough or blunt, but I feel like Mack brought him back to compensate from his playing days. His only good season was at Rice.
