Gone for just over a year? Welcome back, CG. If finalized. 

Excellent news

Strengthening that DFW pipeline

thanks for the info

Wonder what recruits this could impact post and if Gilbert will have more responsibilities outside of just recruiting

This pleases me.

Not sure if any. Perhaps some guys in South Dallas in particular. 

Yes, please...

Would be a great move getting Gilbert back to Austin. 

This would be HUGE. Hard to find many more respected among Texas High school coaches. 

NICE!!!! love this hire! 🤘

What was/is his role at UNT?

Asst. HC and TE coach.

Big hire

Huge!

Lock down DFW.

Hopefully he can help Baker get going asap. Can be coach DL as well? JK but sure helps with the Dallas Area. Again I'm still confused on what Coach Fenner is bringing to the table since he took Gilbert's old job. Hardly anything written about him and how he has adapted to the job.Oh well we got Brandon Harris tweeting tonight so all is well🤣

Love this.  great to have well respected TX HS coaches on staff.   Hope some day we can get Todd Dodge on the staff in some capacity after this next run at Lovejoy.

I feel pretty good about our situation in south Dallas. Even in Mack's heyday I never felt that way.
