I am not as impressed with Wickline as most on here seem to be. Plus I want every position coach to be a damn good recruiter,and I don't think he is.

Agree with Bear19. I think you let the OC plug in his own guy for the OL. From everything I've read, that appears to be Thomsen.

What's the word with Dalton Santos?

Completely agree.

Cumbie is well-respected by everyone in the high school coaching ranks it seems - great news for Texas on a multitude of levels.

A well-respected HS coach I talked to was extremely complimentary about Sonnie Cumbie, but didn't hold back by saying this:

"If Cumbie comes to UT, $hit is gonna get real interesting."

Well, I like me some interesting shit so that's a good thing.

This is where I am on Wickline as well. Real good coach that came into a tough situation and it did improve, but his recruiting leaves a lot to be desired.

Always nice to see you posting UTK.

Texas reciever development leads me to say let Norvell go.

Last I heard he's taking his MRS and planning on returning for his final year. Can't say I'm excited about what his contribution will bring, although we desperately need an experienced mike.

I'd love to hear more.  What, precisely, was lacking from our WR coaching this season?

Meachem is the play caller and the #1 OC, why aren't we chasing him instead???

Meachem is the play caller and the #1 OC, why aren't we chasing him instead???

Two reasons -

1. Because Cumbie is the better recruiter and QB coach.  Actual play-calling is a very small part of the job - especially for a HUNH/air raid offense where the play sheet is short and scripted.  There is a reason TCU wants to hold on to Cumbie - despite having Meachem as the play-caller - and thats because he is their lead recruiter and is generally the one credited with turning around Boykin.

2. Meachem is looking for a HC job and reportedly has a significant buyout for anything other than a HC job.
