I have a buddy that just told me that. No idea if true, but he's usually reliable.

To follow up on my above post....I Just asked a guy I know with a Scout membership what Steve Robertson was saying, & apparently he mentioned Thompson as well....
So either this might have legs, or it may be that the same source is feeding misinformation.
Does seem odd that he would leave USC before coaching a game...but it would be a promotion, so who knows
Thompson, I could get behind. Definitely.
Yeah Thompson would be a home run hire in my opinion.
The dismount on that is trickier than it sounds. Level of difficulty sounds solid. Thompson would be a good hire. Personally I think we should go throw cash at retired TCU DC Bumpas - smack Bucky's ass last year and throttled Belima's Badgers in the Rose Bowl. Seems to have a grasp on dealing with spreads in the Big 12
We've been wanting some guys that know how the recruiting game is played. This is an opportunity to make that happen. It's going to take someone like Orgeron who taught Freeze and can counter him or Thompson if what some on here have said about him. Brewster taught us how to get on guys early, maybe some of these guys can coordinate and expand our network.
The difference of who played in the Belk bowl and the Sugar bowl was who won the Egg bowl. It's time we decide once and for all do we want to settle for the Belk or challenge for the Sugar.
Things I'm hearing:
People on Genes Page want to bring the Morgan brothers from Warren Central. Jesus.
This is the type of shit we have to deal with in our fan base.

Re: Another One-and-Done for Diaz
I said it in a post yesterday that I think Dan should at least talk to Josh or Rob Morgan about the recruiting gig and maybe with Josh about the DB position since he actually played that position and played it well. Maybe they wouldn't want the job, but you gotta go ask and see. I think Josh would be a good future college coach, it's just a gut instinct and I think Rob would be a good OC one day too. I think they are both at Warren Central if I'm not mistaken, running the family business of winning at WC.
Another guy to look at would be Jacksonville State U DC. His defenses have been off the hook tough. They almost beat Auburn this past year and now they're playing for the DII National Championship. That too is worth a call. Yes I'm sure that there are other "recycled" DC's out there, but young, new blood, enthusiastic, and good recruiters are what we need.
David and Steve how do you feel about this ?? Morgan's know Mississippi I'd bet because of their backgrounds, so they should know a lot of the High School staffs. JSU well it's just a gut instinct too.
