My opinion is y'all keep saying only 9 assistants on the field true but how many are in the press box during the game 3-4. I think he was getting his position coaches first and now he's working on the OC. I haven't heard anything about Texas getting a OC. I have the LHN nothing and when other teams get a OC or DC ESPN would post it but nothing on Texas. So if you're 100% let me know.
Are we 100% sure Strong is done filing his staff?

You can only have 9 assistants. So the staff would seem to be filled out unless someone leaves or takes an admin position.

No one is 100%. The only people saying an OC has been named or is already on staff are the far from infallible football "insiders". Nothing from anyone at UT has confirmed or spoken about a OC or appointing one from someone already on staff.
The only 100% hires we have on the offensive side of the ball are Wickline and Robinson. Koenning is not official yet. Watson and Chambers are in the UT directory and on staff in some capacity that is not yet entirely defined. However, if Watson stays there's no way he would be in an off-the-field capacity, so you can count him towards the total # of assistants.
------HC---------
Charlie Strong
----OFFENSE----
Tommie Robinson (RB)
Joe Wickline
Shawn Watson [if retained]
---DEFENSE----
Vance Bedford (DC)
Chris Vaughn (DB)
Brian Jean-Mary (LB)
Chris Rumph (DL)
That totals 8 confirmed of a total of 10 allowed (including HC). That's it. Chambers is the only one we know is at UT in some capacity, but may take an off-the-field position.

Until I see a press release from UT I can't assume the staff is complete and he is not still talking to others.

He asked if we knew 100% the staff is done.
The list you provided is speculation, and includes information and a coach that has yet to be confirmed by anyone but subscription websites. They sell speculation. It is not done until an official announcement is made, or at the very least until the the coachs themselves, Patterson, or Strong confirm the areas where there is still uncertainty—that is, (A) the roles Watson and Wickline will have; ( B) whether Chambers will hold an on the field position; © whether Koenning has been hired; and (D) whether we will pursue an OC not on staff. We do not have the official answers to those questions.

Yeah, that's not true and you know it. You can say it like it's a certainly even though it's just your belief, and you could certainly be right about the composition of the staff in the end, but for the time being there are many things that haven't been confirmed and could easily change.

No it's not, because you're assuming two things: (A) that Chambers will hold an on-the-field position (TE); and ( B) Koenning has been hired. Neither has been confirmed, and the only thing we have had confirmed is that Chambers will be on staff in some capacity. If Chambers were to take an off-the-field position then it creates an opening (for an OC?), and obviously the same goes if Koenning is not hired.

You keep making declarative statements like it's officially confirmed fact. Can you please provide me with the source of this announcement or confirmation from UT or one of its employees?

He played WR for UT back in the day and his father is a legend in the realm of HS football here in Texas. Mullen and his staff's time at MSU may be coming to an end soon, and many speculate he would be making the jump to a new coaching staff to have a fresh start and at the very least a few more years of job security. He would also be returning to his home state and alma mater.

Correct. There are at most 9 assistants on the field during any given game, and then the head coach—so a total of 10 max. There are other coaches in the press box that wouldn't count towards that number.
I'm with you as I'm not sure he's done yet either. If he were, it would be announced. Simple as that.
