February 18Feb 18 21 hours ago, Hookem2147 said: Bobby followed up with a comment that Curtis Luper is another name to watch. Sounds like they think Luper, McKenzie and Barthel from Nebraska might be the three finalists. Probably not Barthel [Callahan] Nebraska extends RB coach E.J. Barthel through 2027 Salary jumps from $293K → $450K (Feb. 2025)
February 18Feb 18 EJ Barthel just got extended at Nebraska, per their On3 site. Salary jump to $450k. Edit: See above Edited February 18Feb 18 by Hookem2147

February 18Feb 18 Bobby seems to be hinting that the guy we hire will likely be Norval McKenzie due to his recruiting ties to Georgia/Florida that can help replace Choice.

February 18Feb 18 Barthel coached under Flood at Rutgers. Wonder if the latter was just doing the former a solid by getting his name out there.

Hopefully just some negotiating there Edit: interesting to see if the star position is a nickel corner next year or one of the 3 safeties we bring back plays it Edited February 19Feb 19 by cmontexas
February 19Feb 19 My Ohio State buddy raved about La'Allen Clark "He's gonna do great things with Simmons" which I took as a final concession in our yearlong "Simmons is as good as Jeremiah Smith" argument that had quieted since the Cotton Bowl

February 19Feb 19 247 (FCB) said this is a name to know. If I remember correctly, Gerry likes this guy and said it was a good hire when Jimbo hired him away from Kiffin a few years ago. https://gamecocksonline.com/sports/football/roster/coach/marquel-blackwell/

February 19Feb 19 https://247sports.com/coach/chad-scott-460/alltimerecruits/ Seems like a volume recruiter for his schools. Edited February 19Feb 19 by BurntOrange&White
February 19Feb 19 IIRC, Neal Brown called plays his last few years at WVU so Scott being OC was like Kyle Flood being our OC. Of course, it's an out-of-left-field hire, so I won't pretend to know much about the guy, but I'll take it as a positive sign he was retained on a new staff, and he was the interim coach in their bowl game after Brown got fired, so my guess is the players liked him.
February 19Feb 19 Sark must be getting all kinds of applicants Edited February 19Feb 19 by westexhorn
February 19Feb 19 Run game has held Sark back from two consecutive national title births. Quinn wasn’t great, but he was good enough to capture one. Better then that KSU transplant at Ohio State. Makes sense he’d want to bring someone in coming from a prolific ground game.

I’m no coach but when I see so many guys just looking around while a dude goes past them is infuriating.

February 20Feb 20 I'm rooting for Norval McKenzie. His ties to Georgia and Florida are key. Plus, anyone who's married to a lacrosse gold medalist, and has kids named Storm and Bolt is ok in my book.

February 20Feb 20 Popular Post Welcome, likely new coach and fam.

He graduated from UNC in 2004 with a degree in sociology. He is married to the former Shambrica Jones, who played basketball at Kentucky." The daughter will be a Lady Longhorn in _ years!
