UPDATE: Wednesday 3:21

A source tells me that Cal Strength & Conditioning coach Torre Becton is expected to join Steve Sarkisian's staff at Texas.

We were Cal this whole time?

Cal plays hard-nosed, tough defense under Wilcox - they're not a soft team. All I've got.

It isn't a 1:1 reaction.  Mass still applies in space.  But yes, the shooter would begin traveling in the opposite direction.

What if his shoes were nailed to the ground?  Would he flip back and forth like a door stopper?

What the fuck are we paying this guy for? 

Maybe so we can do an aggy edit about our coach winning a national championship.

I've already ordered my Texas Longhorns 2020 National Champions* t-shirt.

We’ve been told the Gideon hire isn’t indicative of anything on the defensive coordinator front. Gideon’s position is open ended and it doesn’t exclude a defensive coordinator who is also a defensive backs coach. Gideon came highly recommended. The only known is he’ll for sure have special teams.

The same person who told us Flood and Milwee were “expected” to be part of Sarkisian’s staff wasn’t as sure on wide receiver coach Holmon Wiggins. He just said Wiggins is definitely an option.

 

But I thought Gideon was the batteries?

I expect them to hire a conditioning guy too. The plan is to split duties like at Bama from what I understand.

I think we will have two S&C type coaches similar to the Bama model

Where are you hearing this? IT? Nobody knows shit right now. I hope they're right, but this hire comes out of left field to everyone, including them.

Except, has anyone connected Peter Sirmon to the DC role yet?

I watched one Cal game this year.  Not the most skilled team but they beat the crap out of Oregon, physically.

I mean - if we want to really up the bag game we could hire FWK as our 'conditioning' coach.

I realize it's sounding like Banks isn't going to make it back to Texas, but while asking around about him, wow.

His girlfriend, that followed him to Bama, is a stripper still actively working. She's poleassassin_ on Insta, for those who want to look and/or post images back here. Also, there's a whole bunch of other stuff on the trainwreck that is Banks' personal life, but probably not worth the bandwidth if he isn't coming here. Some of the stories involve their pet monkey, in any event.

Regarding Muschamp, there's no game being played, unless it's the most amazeballs sleight of hand ever. He's not coming. He thinks the Gideon hire is a really smart hire. 

Flood is a great fucking hire that's now confirmed by numerous parties. He's had a number of chances for his agent to deny the reports and they haven't. The Co-OC title and salary are a big deal, I guess. 

So far we have Flood, Gideon, and Drayton as known. Milwee looks like the same. Now this Becton dude who, outside of the resume reading, I don't think anyone has heard anything about yet from "insiders." I'm interested in hearing more on that front, but right now, we're looking at upgrades to Hand and Valai; stability at a key role with a star player here because of him with Drayton; potentially more along those lines with Carrington; and an overall upgrade at OC/QB Coach because Sarkisian/Milwee is better than Hermanyurc with certainty. Looks like Sarkisian, whatever else we discover, is a pretty fucking solid football mind. 

How will we all react if there's no obvious recruiting rainmaker on staff though? I'm guessing we'll want to burn everything down immediately, me included. So hopefully Lupoi and some others like that make the jump and we don't have to go full Surly until after losing to Louisiana to open the 2021 season.

No, but he's definitely got the Sark connection.  Washington and USC.

So excited for Becton. Thank God. Finally a real S&C guy who is going to take our team to the next level. He's going to be a huge improvement over Maddog Wiley Moorer Yancy.  I always though that sandpit training / working out with the players / the pit / urine hydration tests was a stupid gimmick.

If there is anything - and I mean ANYTHING - that is worth the bandwidth for the noble denizens of the Surl, it is stories involving coaches, strippers, and simians.

Please indulge our base curiosities and proclivities, kind sir.

Looks like Sirmon was the LB coach and recruiting coordinator at USC also.

I googled Banks when this started and even his official Bama picture screams sketchiness. I'm not surprised at all by that info.

Sark seems very serious about recruiting so I have little doubt that he'll bring in some capable guys on that front. DC is my only real concern at this point assuming these offense guys come true.

Sirmon or Lupoi would be welcomed additions as position coaches for recruiting, but no to either as playcalling DCs.

Sark saw firsthand what Lupoi as DC looked like.  Surely he wouldn't try it again.

Looks like a solid LB coach and an average DC. What's your opinion?

He seems to be a Justin Wilcox (who was Sark’s DC at UW and USC and now HC at Cal) guy. He worked under Wilcox at Tenn, UW, and USC, then went to the DC at MSU, got fired after one season, moved to Louisville got fired after one season, and now is back at Cal under Wilcox. So definitely seems like a thumbs down as a DC hire.

Great position coach, terrible coordinator

Similar to a lot of these names

Sorry if it wasn't obvious, but I'm just stirring up shit regarding Sirmon since the Becton guy is on staff there as well. I hope to hell he isn't the DC. Not actually sure who I hope the DC is though, since Muschamp and Odom are apparently out, I don't want Ash back preferably, and the Arnett guy doesn't seem like the primary. Maybe it's Freeman or Mason. What other overlapping candidates are out there from the Kiffin/Sarkisian/Saban venn diagram?

Dan Quinn want to come back to the college game for a couple years? DC under Champ at Florida.

Yeah, I must have misread it. I thought you heard that he was being targeted for the DC position.
