im pissed if this is true

You can like Urban or hate Urban, but when he says someone is one of the best recruiters he’s ever been around......you got to listen to that. Urban really recruited well

Chris Ash is exciting but give me Kerry Coombs to work with Sterns, Overshown, Chris Brown, Jalen Green, Anthony Cook, and Josh Thompson. If these guys can freaking get developed oh my gosh we'd be so damn good.

"Chris Ash is one of the best recruiters I've ever been around, but he just wasn't from there (New Jersey)." - Urban Meyer

Per IT Ash is the floor in the DC search not the ceiling.

Maybe for Texas but not for me as a fan, I like what he’s about.

Who’s the ceiling?

247 seems convinced Ash will be the DC. 

Not sure why unless they're just not getting good info.

Brainiacs say CTH is looking at two on the Georgia staff, Dan Lanning and Glen Schumann. They are co-DCs there and both are being looked at. Schumann was on Saban's staff at Bama and was the first coach hired by Kirby Smart when he went to Georgia. Lanning is a young guy who also coaches LBs. Texas would have no problem topping Georgia's pay. In fact, Orlando made more than Mel Tucker while he was there.

Another name is Mizzou's DC Ryan Walters who many think would be a good fit here.

Apparently, Saban is looking at hiring Barry Odom for his DC. That would free up current Bama DC Pete Golding. 

Brainiacs say if Texas is talking to Ash at all, its because they whiffed on their primary targets.

Yes on Harrell.  He needs to come in, get the offense moving, which will help me forget about his pass to Crabtree.

I have no idea if Walters is the best hire. However, I would be excited if Herman thinks he is.

Nothing Harrell does can help me forget about his pass to Crabtree.?

Pete Golding doesn't make sense. He was a DC for one year and Saban wants an upgrade. Hard to get excited over a Saban reject.

 

[DBOOK23]

Herman has got to make this hire soon so we can close on some guys (Collins) heading into NSD

There's no word CTH is even a considering Golding. He's just available if Saban hires Odom. I mentioned this because Odom's name has repeatedly come up.

I will remind you that Saban hasn't rejected anybody yet and the only thing we know is that Golding was Saban's choice to run his defense.

According to Collins, he's signing on NSD II in February.

I understand. I'm thinking of Major Applewhite. He was another coordinator that was one season and out under Saban.

Odom is probably going to V Tech with his buddy.

In your opinion who is the ceiling?

Thats one name I definitely have no heard at all. lol

 

[primal defense]

A name from the past.

Lamar (FCS – TX): Arkansas associate head coach / running backs coach Jeff Traylor is expected to interview for the head coaching job, per Richard Davenport.

 

[MBHORNSFAN]

No clue but others think anyone but Ash.

Mike Farrell of Rivals was not impressed with Ash.
