Here is Burton on the assistants

Clint Hurtt, who was previously an assistant under Strong at Louisville, is thought to be Strong's favorite for the position.
 
"He will hire Hurtt if Texas will let him," a coaching industry source familiar with the situation told Horns247 on Monday morning.
 
Strong hired Hurtt at Louisville despite an NCAA show-cause for hiring penalty that Hurtt suffered while at Miami because of his dealings with Hurricanes booster and ponzi scheme fraud Nevin Shapiro.
 
After leaving Louisville, Hurtt became the DL coach for the Chicago Bears this past season. The Bears head coach, Marc Trestman, was fired following the season. But Hurtt was recently retained by new Chicago coach John Fox and moved to outside linebackers coach.
 

Point of fact - Hurtt was hired by Strong and Louisville in Jan of 2010.  He was not under a show-cause order at that time, and there was no public (or private that we know of) investigation of Hurtt by the NCAA until the summer of 2011.  Shapiro didn't report his illegal dealings to the NCAA until 15 months after Hurtt was hired by Strong & Louisvile.  Hurtt didn't talk to the NCAA about Shapiro until almost two years later in Nov of 2011.

FWIW, Traylor is in Austin right now.

Jeff Traylor is a well-qualified candidate for the position.  We couldn't be happier for him for getting an interview with the staff.

After reading a few write-ups, I'm pulling for Brick Haley at DL coach.

Alright - so who is the third Texas high school Coach who is under consideration for the TE job?

Think I'll put this here... on this thread about coaching staff... 

Another good NFL crop at Louisville puts Strong in good light

If three first round picks last year weren't enough, Charlie Strong's former players at Louisville are doing it again this year.

Strong had three first round picks off of his Louisville team selected in last year's NFL Draft. (Photo: Brendan Maloney, USA TODAY Sports)Eleven former Cardinals football players have been invited to the NFL combine. That is the second most in the country, behind only Florida State with 12, and tied with perennial power Alabama.

Lot of players in love with A&M this year still don't get it.
