Luper emerges as a UTSA HC candidate

[TheReal_jayD]

TCU's running back coach* Curtis Luper and UTSA are reported to have mutual interest for HC vacancy. I found it interesting because we mentioned him here on the board as a potential OC when Meacham was being discussed as HC candidate for us. Then along those same lines our new inside reciever coach Tommy Mainord was listed as a hopeful OC candidate before Coker got canned. Here is article http://www.underdogdynasty.com/2016/1/8/10733802/tcu-running-backs-coach-curtis-luper-emerges-as-utsa-head-coach

Nothing makes me happier than when I see a guy we "maybe" wanted as an assistant coach is being considered as a candidate for head coach at nUTSAck. This is too much.

[southsideguy]

we need UTSA to be stronger and we need to be stronger for the conference to get respect.  Yes I want to beat them but I want to beat a good team.  Otherwise we can play Portland State (ouch).

NEVER!  Death to our most-heated rivals! 

You're looking too far past your nose.

Wow, making the jump from player to coach. I thought we took a gamble on Dodge.

Yep. Luper's one of TCU's best recruiters.

Not difficult to recruit to Oklahoma State, Auburn, and TCU. nUTSAck not so much.

No, but on that level good recruiters are coaches who are the head coaches or lead recruiters for players who other big-time schools wanted. And can out recruit those schools. Which he did.

They better bring in the coaching Jesus. Because they have A LOT of catching up to do.

Look... Either way, they're doomed for this recruiting season. 

EVEN IF you get a guy hired next week... How long until he learns how to get the blend of 11 secret herbs and spices right? Until you can trust him not to burn the biscuits or mishandle the gravy?

And then, you put him on the road in his headset and little paper hat to recruit with what, 4 or 5 days to get the job done? I know the motto for UTSA football is "fast and delicious", but I hope they realize you can't recruit a season in 30 minutes or less.

I heard that they found out about the KFC fast track app. The new and improved version is leading the way in their search for a new coach.

I've heard UTSA is looking at young up-&-comers from the likes of Chick-fil-a & Popeyes (for their success on the P5 level) and also Chicken Express & Raising Cains (for their Texas recruiting ties).   They really stand to upgrade either way if you ask me.

[Eagle-96]

Nope. I hope they fail utterly and completely in every way.

This!

The reality is that UTSA is in our conference and therefore needs to be as competitive as possible. That makes for a better conference and a better rivalry. 

Now, if someone can figure out a way to do an even swap with the Sunbelt for Texas State (my preferred CUSA member from that area), then we need to hope for the best for UTSA. We need a rivalry folks. And ideally a rivalry with a school with a large (or at least a potentially large) following that will come to Denton, (with their Band), and buy seats in the "visitor" section, and annoy the crap out of us.........so that we can do the same to them on the return trip.

Some of you here don't seem to understand how that works.

UTSA should have never been added to CUSA. They have no facilities and no track record. CUSA bought into the "TV market" B.S. that is the current state of college athletics, and CUSA will pay for it

I expect UTSA to be a drain on CUSA for years to come, much like UNT has been this year.

And it's what they deserve for short cutting the process.

I heard they have been in contact with Chester's, golden chick, and Bush's for the small town pipeline.

KFC is about THE worst fried chicken joint out there. Appropriate that they are so closely tied to Craphole.

And for all the Craphole fans that will enevitably show up in this thread, I told you this would be your fate when you were busy claiming to be the next S. Florida. 

Welcome to hell.

There's only one name there that's even remotely worth looking at... and we were talking about him coming on board as a position coach or OC if we had gone with Meacham.

[emmitt01]

Anybody got a copy of the list we used to find out cornerbacks coach?  I suspect it's the same as their list of potential head coaches. 

And, could be just rumor, but I'm told the contract will include the language "$600,000 base salary...and a big ol' cookie!"

Cookie is getting ready for the new coach now! It was her New Year's Resolution!
