Man, I hope not. Would suck losing him.
I don't see them coming after him for the HC spot though. They need someone with some experience at the college level I would think.

i swear how ever much play money we have needs to be put on the table before Traylor even contemplates leaving.

Traylor needs to gain more college experience before moving on to a small football school like Texas St as a HC. Look how it worked out for Todd Dodge at UNT. He should gain experience and move towards an OC job first IMO. Of course to be selfish he needs to stick around the 40 acres for a few more years please!

Per Chip on HD:
"I've heard there will be a new WR coach, but I'm also told Jay Norvell is still coming to work. So something's got to give there.
On the defensive side, I'll be shocked if Strong doesn't do everything possible to bring in Clint Hurtt. But I've checked in with all the levels that would be involved with that, and either they haven't been briefed on it yet, or they are purposely keeping things on the low.
Not sure who Hurtt would replace. I've heard assumptions that Hurtt would automatically replace Brick Haley could be off base."

Chip Brown update on Clint Hurtt
"Talked to three different sources close to the situation this week and two of them said they believed the thought of Charlie Strong hiring Chicago Bears OLB coach Clint Hurtt as a co-defensive coordinator was a dead end. The sense I get is this is a dead issue until I hear that Strong is really making the hiring of Hurtt a priority with Perrin and/or Fenves."

Does he get a bonus to stick it out through signing day? Does he bolt or become released after NSD? Weird. Not an honest concept to recruits if this is the case. Also, why would Norvel want to stick around if he will be released anyways.....money?

I would love to be a fly on the wall at some of these round table discussions between the coaching staff.

HERTZEL COLUMN: Holgorsen’s choice of Wickline makes sense
MORGANTOWN — That Dana Holgorsen chose Joe Wickline as his choice to become offensive coordinator next season is hardly a stunning turn of events, considering that Wickline helped him conceive the diamond formation he has used so successfully at West Virginia while the two were on Mike Gundy’s coaching staff at Oklahoma State in 2010.
Legend has it that the two concocted the approach on a cocktail napkin during happy hour during the one year Holgorsen served as offensive coordinator at OSU with Wickline as his offensive line coach.
Reports say Holgorsen, who is reshaping his coaching staff again, having ceded offensive coordinator duties and deciding not to renew the contracts of defensive coaches Joe DeForest and Damon Cogdell, is awaiting working out final details on the contract he offered Wickline, currently without a job after serving a couple years as offensive coordinator and line coach at Texas.
Holgorsen spoke about his relationship with Wickline a couple years back on the NFL.com’s College Football 24/7 Podcast and how they devised the diamond formation.
“Those things typically happen at happy hour or at retreats,†Holgorsen said then. “That’s the honest truth, too. We had a staff retreat at Oklahoma State, we went to somebody’s little cabin out there in the country and me and Joe Wickline were sitting there talking ball. There’s nothing else to do at these retreats, so we were talking ball and I kind of threw it out there to him, the whole diamond thing.â€
Holgorsen has always been impressed with Wickline’s innovative look at offensive football, especially in the running game.
“Joe’s one of the most innovative offensive line creators in college football to this day,†Holgorsen said. “We thought about it and we were like, ‘Hey, that’s a pretty good idea.’ So we started dabbling with it in August. It was a huge part of why Justin Blackmon caught like 26 touchdown passes that year.â€
Wickline, too, had much to do with Holgorsen’s move from the traditional “Air Raid†offense that he learned at Mike Leach’s knee and ran to the more advanced and balanced offense he is running now, which includes a strong running game.
“It was a little bit more of a dig your hands in the dirt and come off the ball and strike you,†Holgorsen said. “The more I did that, the more I realized it makes throwing the ball a little easier when you’ve got more people up in the box. We kept our core principles in the pass game with our progressions and the routes that we run. We just added to it with being able to come off the ball and smack you, or create some movement and tempo to be able to run the ball a little bit as well.â€
