The best job in America.... I agree.

Make it so again.

For perspective, we just fired a guy whose best record at UT was 9-4 to hire a guy whose best record in 7 years as a P5 head coach was 9-4. I hope Coach Sark learned valuable lessons under Saban's tutelage while at Bama. I guess UT's leadership thinks this experience is worth the investment.

But, I won't start drinking the Kool-Aid until we're 3-0 in non-conference play with convincing wins against overmatched teams.

IT reporting Stan Drayton will remain on staff.

OrangeBloods confirmed as well.

[TFloss32 2,345]

Per Burton at IT, Will Muschamp is not expected to be on the new staff.

[TFloss32 2,345]

OrangeBloods saying there are at least five programs interested in hiring Bryan Carrington right now, including one that would possibly groom him to be an assistant coach.

All of this via Carrington's agent.

[TFloss32 2,345]

Scratch off the possibility of Mike Stoops joining the new staff, per IT.

I'm happy to scratch baby Stoops off.

Could Steve Sarkisian be taking a key assistant with him to Texas?

TFB has a Washington source telling them they'd "bet a lot of money" that stud recruiter Tosh Lupoi will end up joining Sark at Texas.

They were at Washington together.

[TFloss32 2,345]

OrangeBloods mentioned this is a guy to keep in mind for the new S&C coach.

He was with Sark at both USC and Washington.

Alabama sources told OrangeBloods they're hearing Jeff Banks, Kyle Flood and Karl Scott as additional names possibly joining the new Texas staff.

Scott is native Texan, a great recruiter and would coach DBs.

[TFloss32 2,345]

Burton at IT saying AJ Milwee is in the process of turning down Arkansas State for their OC job.

He would coach QBs at Texas.

Hard pass on Ivan. We can't afford injuries all the time.

 

 

 

Strength and conditioning coach Ivan Lewis’ past problems have caught up with him in Seattle

https://www.fieldgulls.com/2019/12/24/21035251/ivan-lewis-strength-conditioning-coach-seattle-seahawks-injuries-bad-season-soft-tissue-carson-brown

 

 

While a coach leaving to the NFL is usually a downer for college teams, Trojan fans will rejoice at the departure of Lewis. After a season wrought with injury that decimated USC’s defensive corps, many began to wonder what USC’s strength and conditioning program was doing to set players up for a healthy playing career.

Saban was 34-24-1 at Michigan State. Lucky for LSU they did not care when they hired him... The rest is history.
