He might go with Harbaugh. 

Back to square one or stick with NFL. You had mentioned Zarnell Fitch at Tech before. UCF has a good coach as well in Kenny Martin for the D line.

Let’s see what Sark decides. Again, I don’t think he rushes decisions like this. 

Coaches always have a list they  can circle back to. It will be interesting to see who plan B is. I still hope we get an NFL guy.

I feel like the NFL decisions are delaying everything. I understand Sark taking his time but it also takes time away each day from the new DL coach for recruiting and building that rapport with the existing players. 

Rodney Garner the Tennessee DL coach

Anyone have insight on what happened with the Raiders on Okam?? He seems like the floor in search.

Do we know that Wright was plan A?

No, I personally don’t. I still don’t know if he’s going to be elevated to primary DL coach with the Texans.

He’s at Toledo now. No telling what happened at a franchise like Las Vegas really. 

We need someone who has ties to recruit either the SEC or our Texas high school teams. Of course, if we get a coach off Harbaugh's staff and we are able to compete in Big 10 country that would be a great asset.

I will say that retrieving a Dline appears to harder than at first glance.

I am surprised that the recruiting aspect and some loose ends weren’t already tied up with Wright. 

On the surface the Bo Davis departure left us by surprise.

Rodney Garner lots of SEC connections. The best DTs are mainly located in the old SEC area.

It was surprising. The week before he said he was staying. 

Texans All Pro DROTY Will Anderson might be a big reason Wright wanted to stay in Houston. Anderson mentioned him twice in a season end interview. Super young man to get to work with, with an arrow up organization.

So it looks like we are getting Kenny Baker from the Dolphins? Any idea on his recruiting ability?

One thing to keep in mind, NFL Coaches have very attractive pension benefits. It can be a tough pull. There is a former Texas QB that was an elite NFL special teams coach that l know well. He was approached during Mack's run. Pension kept him in place. 

Had no idea Vince was a ST coach

I think your on to something. That would be badass. VY's kickers would be nailing it from 80 yard ls out.
