Marion is leaving as OC at UNLV. 
 

What are the top names you’d like to see replace him?

Guess he wanted to be an OC pretty badly.

Yes probably had to go run an offense and be successful before being ready for a head job. Sark is always going to call plays so he wasn’t going to be able to do that here 

[Eastexhorn]

Unrealistic maybe but Hartline, Samples would be high on the list.

We are Texas, can we money whip Sean McVay? Maybe that was the real reason Sark spent time with him last year.

When you hire guys like Marion and Choice you get great coaches that are looking to help the program and advance their careers, the downside of that is they are unlikely to stick around too long.

I would guess Marion must think this is a good career development move, since it seems unlikely to be much of a raise in pay.

[Eastexhorn]

Next step up towardsbeing a head coach. With a defensive head coach he can run his offense mostlikely.

I think I’d like someone who can recruit, develop talent, no negative baggage, and no aspirations to ever leave UT.  Go get him Sark!

Is that the first line of your application for the job? If so, you've got my vote.

Is this the one you're looking for?

IT hearing WR Xavier Worthy will be returning.

Some randomness on the WR coaching search...

- rumor on IT that Sark wants Emmett Jones from Texas Tech

- TFB saying Sark anticipated Marion departing and has talked to Ra'Shaad Samples this week, but is also looking at Justin Johnson from Baylor

- a outside-of-the-box name mentioned is well-known WR trainer Margin Hooks, who played with Sark at BYU and has trained guys like Evan Stewart

TFloss32 is there a problem with the roster table? Or is it just me?

IT also mentioned Samples as a candidate, but they are hearing Justin Stepp of South Carolina as well.

He happens to be married to a Texas grad.

Really refreshing to not have to fire a coach this offseason. Just hiring one because they other left for a promotion. Imagine if actually win 11 games one year.

This is pretty big - looking at the depth chart.  Let's hope he stays healthy.... for his sake, and for ours.

On S Jalen Catalon, worth mentioning that IT said Texas was very thorough with his injury history before deciding if they would take a chance adding him to the roster.

Guy is a hitter, not afraid of contact. Pretty much puts a wrap on the S position
