Will Friend has not been retained
Besides Tyson, all senior S & C coaches will not be retained.
Duby is interesting. Been a student coach since his freshman year in HS when he threw out his shoulder. Best I can tell graduated HS in spring 2021. So.... he's an undergrad coach???

Jon cooper would have been at OU when Lebby was there. Likely TE coach i would think

Was Jon let go from OU? Or is UNT OL coach a step up?
Are we really about to hire Arky's OL coach? It might have been the worst OL in college football this year
Sounding better that we get the Oregon asst s&c coach and the director of speed...
That is who Lebby worked directly with. I mean this was not a sitting HC with a staff built out. Also some of these analysts could be position coaches at G5 or D2 but choose to stay at the blue bloods because they are around more exposure. This is not 2009 when we were hiring Dan. Analysts are big these days. For example, Holecek has been with Lebby as an asst QB coach since OM. He could go be a position coach at a G5 or an OC at a lower level but has chosen to stay with Lebby because he knew what the payoff was.
If he?s the OL or TE coach that?s a pretty bad hire (I?ve liked all the others mentioned so far mind you, before you think I?m bashing or being negative, just realistic).
He was TEs coach with Heupel and Lebby at UCF. But Heupel didn?t bring him to Tennessee (first red flag).
He then takes the TE coach with Pittman in 2020 (makes sense with Briles there). He is fired less than a year later (second red flag) and goes to be the OL coach at FCS Western Carolina.
In 2022, he?s goes to Oklahoma as an offensive analyst. Then leaves this year to be North Texas OL coach.
Almost every main recruit his had has either never seen the field or transferred out. So he?s not a good recruiter and that is the rumor of why he was let go at Arkansas. AJ Green was his best recruit and the only one who did anything in college.
Hopefully he?s coming to be an analyst because he loves Lebby and not an on field role. Seems to be a below average coach and recruiter.
Is Mele getting retained? He is tweeting out State graphics with Tulu and Zavion
Meh- here is where you have to defer to Lebbo. Urban demoted Hevesy and then Mullen made him the OL coach at State. While Hev was a jackass- he was a good OL coach and recruited well except when they let him talk to a WR. Hev should have been banned from talking to WR recruits. But Hev had a great relationship with Dak and others on the recruiting trail that didnt play WR.
Pumped up dude
