If it is Meacham who does he bring?

[unt37]

Does he bring anybody from tcu? I was thinking he would bring curtis luper as OC. 

[tmjerm]

I hope so...many of the UH guys he was with stayed on with Herman so possible to promote from that crop as well.  Both schools have good schemes in spite of the frogs injury related troubles this year.   He's got a very wide network after 30+ years...that's another bonus

I would think that Patterson won't allow his staff to be gutted. Meacham would surely need to tap his network of contacts elsewhere.

Which I was told is deep. Wouldn't be surprised to see some dfw high school coaches make his staff either.

If I was a college head coach I would always want one or two high school coaches on my staff.  It can help out in so many ways.

I just want one former HS only  HC on the staff at a time.. but lets just say if they are big pulls in DFW and would give us a legitimate shot in the arm from a local recruting standpoint I could be convinced to have 2

Pssst, John Walsh, want a job?

[UNT90]

He has a list in his pocket that he has had for quite some time. He knows who he wants.

Whether they are willing to come here is another story.

[Marty]

I would hope he would interview Perry & Patrick, maybe Lamarcus Hicks.

 

[southsideguy]

i would keep patrick for sure

[ChristopherRyanWilkes]

He and Curtis Luper go way back too. Played college ball together at OSU. 

[drycreek]

I bet & would hope that Perry would come if offered as DC-----he makes $400,000 now at Kan.---I guess we could match that or go a little above---Meacham & Perry are both from Arlington [high schools]

[TheWestie]

Pssst, John Walsh, want a job?

The only place that'd pull him away from Guyer is Oklahoma State.

Once JW graduates...

[greenit]

So, if we are looking at a currently employed coach for a coordinator, we are probably looking at current position coaches.  I would assume Big 12 mostly, but maybe even CUSA or SunBelt.

Beyond that, the list would likely include any currently unemployed coordinators.

In terms of our position coaches, I would assume the list would come from G5/FCS/HS?

I am assuming we will be in the market for the following assistant coaching positions:  OC, DC, OL, DL, LBs, WRs/TEs, DBs, RBs, (OC will likely handle QBs), Special Teams, GA1, GA2.  On top of these there will be a S&C coach.

Gary Patterson. ...as a GA

[Got5onIt]

The Horney Toads board have speculated Luper might leave. Some GA's who've helped their OL show tremendous improvement might be up for a promotion on Meacham's new staff. I'm all for taking as much as you can from Patterson!! It's like someone leaving the treat bowl out on Halloween. Grab two fistfuls and get the hell out of there quick!

If it's Meacham, I'd like to see him give Luper a chance as OC. 

[MeanGreenTexan]

For those of you clamoring early on for Smiley, here is a good spot for him.  If Meacham cant get Luper to bite, I bet Smiley would jump for a FBS OC job.

[Cerebus]

Getting Curtis Luper would really improve this hire imho.

Could Patterson stop it if Meacham was offering that coach a promotion?

[Cr1028]

[Eagle-96]

Could Patterson stop it if Meacham was offering that coach a promotion?

Depends on if the coaches contract is up or not. Also coaches generally do not stand in the way of people getting promotions.

[EagleMBA]

Could Patterson stop it if Meacham was offering that coach a promotion?

No, I doubt if he could stop it. I was thinking more along the lines of the "goodwill factor", or "coaches ettiquette", or something along those lines involving interpersonal relationships and the future. Patterson knows the game and he knows what we need but he wouldn't be too happy if we threw a wrench into his well-oiled machine. JMO.

[Wag Tag]

Luper or Jinks would be great!

I would also like him to look at Jon Kitna for Qb coach. Success in high school and the pros with 2 tours with the COWBOYS!
