Coaching Changes, Rumors, Misc.

Here's a name I'm hearing . . . Sean Gleeson (Okla St OC). Fast riser, very innovative.

TFB is saying look at Courtney Messingham (Kan St OC). Nothing spectacular, IMO.

Lashlee could be a good option.

I do not agree with you. Let people coach and have some time to get recruits that we need. We had so many people hurt this year. Who know do you want coaching the team. I wish we would give Tom Herman a 10 year contract. That way the alums will not screw things up again by whining about the coach. Let the coaches coach. You really do not know much except how to whine and complain.
A 10 year contract?? Now I don’t know if this is really a poster or a troll or bot lol. Tom has gotten the recruits he needs, they just haven’t been developed. The only person screwing things up is CTH. Who do I want coaching the team?? Idk. I’m not again Herman coaching if he could prove he was actually able to get out of his own way. Someone made a good point once, the team doesn’t belong to the coaches. They are here to help. The team belongs to the players and the fans. Tom isn’t doing anything to show he doesn’t think the team belongs to him and must be ran by him and no one else. As far your stupid comment. Trust me, I know plenty more than just whining & complaining. The great University of Texas made sure of that. Thanks. 

 
I think Harrell can be a good OC, but there is a reason the Leach offense is called Air Raid. Too much passing and not enough emphasis on the run game. Hire Lashlee and you get the Malzahn offense. Hell, hire Kendall Briles and you get the Art Briles offense. Just kidding. Do. Not. Hire. Briles. I want an offense that spreads the defense out and uses the power run game. But Lashlee separated himself from Malzahn because Malzahn is a control freak and would not let Lashlee do the job he was hired to do. Herman might be the same way.

If Herman hires Sean Gleeson then I would say that’s a good course correction & maybe he’s not throwing away his “dream job”. 

 
I have that video clinic saved and watch it at the start of every spring to begin preparing the DBs I coach. I have no idea if he will be successful as the DC at Texas (really hoping he is) but I do know that his techniques work and have made our DBs much better.

Is Chip Long still out there? Last I heard the hogs wanted him bad

  And don't forget offensive coordinator from K-State

 
Sorry if this is redundant...

is there any credible information citing names that Herman is interested in for OC?

Yes a name being thrown out there is Courtney Messingham... and guess what! Herman worked with him at ISU. I can’t wait for that guy to be the hire and people swear Herman didn’t just fire friends & hire new friends. Some tell Herman there’s a UT alum who’s pretty good at this whole offense thing in the NFL. Maybe go talk to him, get some ideas on guys he think can do well. Go get his own Joe Brady. Or hire Messingham. Tell everyone how great the power spread is and then tell us how winning is hard when we lose more games because he’s too stubborn to give up the offense.

Where is Messingham coaching now?

 
For goodness sake, don't let Herman hire anybody he knows or has worked with because they will be a bad hire and obviously can not possibly succeed. Somebody please hire Urban so all the naysayers can be happy. At least until he leaves with another "health"crisis just before the real dirt about him comes out.
