***Official Update Thread***

[Mike Roach]

Lots of updates will be coming in the next week as Herman is introduced, builds his staff, and recruits. We are going to use this thread for all updates instead of a bunch of different ones.

Saturday 11:50 PM

Sources indicate Houston offensive line coach Derek Warehime will join Tom Herman in Austin. This was first reported by ESPN's Sam Khan Jr.

Sunday 10:50 AM

According to a report from Sam Khan Jr., Houston's director of football ops Fernando Lovo is most likely making his way to Austin. Not a huge surprise, but Houston strength coach Yancy McKnight is also expected to bring his entire strength staff.

Sunday 11:55

Herman flew to Austin today with Oscar Giles and Corby Meekins. Most expected Giles to be back, but Houston TE coach Corby Meekins is a bit of a surprise. Meekins, a former head coach at Spring Westfield high school was a huge help in getting Ed Oliver to Houston.

Sunday 4:30 PM

We confirmed with someone that CB/ST coordinator Jason Washington will join the staff.

Sunday 7PM

Press Conference just wrapped.  Herman said he would start on hiring a staff in the coming weeks, but we know that a lot of his Houston staff will be joining him.  I've talked to a couple of people tonight who feel that Tim Brewster is really close to coming on board.  We were told tonight to expect most of the Houston staff and Tim Brewster to join.  Still working on tracking down some OC info, because the stuff out there on Applewhite is mixed but mostly negative.

I don't know much about Coach Warehime but I'm sure he's pretty good if Herman wants to bring him with. That said, I'm really sad to see Mattox go. What he did with our O-Line this season was nothing short of spectacular. 

 

[Mike Roach]

I believe it's very important to have an O-Line coach in sync with offensive philosophy. Here's a nice article on Warehime

I guess I will be clicking "Refresh" on this thread a hundred times a day until the off-season.

Posted this last night in the "Herman Staff" thread, but it goes here.

There is some noise that UH Director of Recruiting Derek Chang may be joining Herman's staff in Austin.

Would love to have some feedback from Roach, Seahorn and Bazer on this. Have y'all heard anything?

Also, there is a lot of buzz about Tim Brewster making a return to The 40.

 

[Mike Roach]

The buzz around Brewster is very real. I've heard it from just about everyone I've talked to, and no one downplayed it.

I will check on Chang. My UH contact has been quiet since the news broke. They would have solid insight.

Looks like Oscar Giles making a return to the 40, I though he was a good coach when he was here. He developed Sergio Kindle

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Reports are out there that Oscar Giles and Corby Meekins were on the plane today with Herman. Looks like they are going to be joining him in Austin. Meekins is the former head coach at Westfield high school in Houston and played a huge role in landing Ed Oliver.

Don't forget Oliver's brother was at Houston that played the biggest role. Also interesting that Meekins while at Westfield was big time anti Texas. Amazing how things change. LOL

Meekins also had a big hand in it. Texas was locked out of that school forever, and now it's opening up.

I believe Westfield has the highest rated DT for 2018 in Coburn.

 

[MBHORNSFAN]

Sounds like DB coach Jason Washington is Joining Herman at Texas too

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

If Brewster comes back to the 40 as a TE coach then Traylor is our right? A great recruiter, but with Brewster in there's not really a spot for him.

Traylor can coach anywhere on the offensive side if Herman wants him.

We need a special teams coach
