Target? Yes. I think he is a decent ways down the list though. Probably 4 or 5.Quote:

This guy is probably not going to have an official position title.
Kevie is the Assistant Defensive Backs/Nickle Coach - says it right there in the press release.Quote:

Frankly, I would load up on young guys who traditionally have been GA's - ideally our own former players - and give them an Assistant to the Assistant Regional Manager Title and have someone like Knox teach them how to Coach.
It's probably our best way to build a pipeline of coaching talent.
I was talking about the new offensive hire. Yea Kevie is Assistant DB coach.Quote:

I would be very surprised to see Cale Gundy leave Oklahoma. Darrell Wyatt though coached with Lebby at UCF, so I could see that one.
Cale Gundy hasn't coached since 2022. That would be a surprise.Quote:

Yea I like Cale a lot as a person, but his coaching days are done. He hung it up when Venables came inQuote:

I'm gonna cut us off on discussing it further because Scoob will have to come bonk us with ban hammers if we do. Not you specifically Steve, other folks (and me to be fair) got their keyboards revving up once they do the research.
I was trying to be nice. I like Cale so I don't want his entire career impacted by one moment.Quote:

I have an idea where that came from, and it has more to do with finding a name that has coached with Lebby before than it is with being an actual rumor. Wyatt could be legit, but Gundy? No.
Tater is hungover on a Friday? Shocking!!!Quote:

4 day weekend and work suuuuuuucked this week. Also I concocted a ridiculous egg nog mix that does the ****in job. 1/4 Fireball Yule Nog, 1/4 Screwball Peanut butter nog, 1/4 2% Milk, 1/8 Crown Chocolate, 1/8 Crown Vanilla.Quote:

This says Nix is looking at Florida and "one other program".
The other program is us as of now. I think OM may try to get in the mix at some point but for now it's us and Florida.Quote:

Just a quick background: originally from Shreveport. Played at Mizzou for Gary Pinkel and was really good. Bounced around practice squads and the CFL for a couple of years and got into coaching. Was with Lebby at OU in 2022. Just let go at Kentucky and was with Golesh at USF last year.
So it could be between us and Auburn?Quote:

It's interesting that Washington has a history of being a motivational speaker.
All signs are pointing towards L'Damian Washington being the WR coach.
He is at a different place every year except at USF. He was there for 2 years.
A week ago at this time, we got the shocker of all shocking moves announced when Pete Thamel tweeted that Zach Arnett was the target for the defensive coordinator job. Will we get any moves today that are "shocking"?
