greenjoe · January 10, 2017

Isn't Coach Perry John David Crow's grandson (great grandson) ?

GO MEAN GREEN

Yes

I am hearing no to the Traylor rumor. But if name I am hearing rumored is correct. We will def have a new ace recruiter.

Bummer. Was really hoping he would take a lateral position move to take a pay and conference downgrade.

They may rearrange the staff they have to share in the special teams roles. I think they know who they want and what his role will be. Will be interesting.

Why wouldn't he? He took the UT job in 2015 and the 2 years he has there as ST/Tight Ends is all the college experience he has. Given the opportunity to head to Houston with their new coaching staff (also makes sense) and that hasn't happened as of yet.

Had a base salary of $350K. Was a Scout Big 12 Recruiter of the Year.

Texas had a top 10 recruiting class and lead the Big 12 (I mean, it's usually between UT and OU).

He will find a solid spot somewhere at a prominent school willing to pay some money.

This certainly isn't a knock on UNT, but rather that Traylor has earned a very solid reputation as a recruiter.

Aldo · January 10, 2017

Additionally I'd say he'd require an OC position to come here, not ST.

He is currently unemployed, no?

I found the very first post in that thread pretty jarring:

Guys, sorry that we had to kill the Navasota thread. However, per the rules of the site, you can not post something as definite as "Navasota offered him a huge contract" without being able to back it up. That is spreading a false rumor as news, and the thread title was misleading.

...

Boy, would that mod have some fun around here.

jtm0097 · January 10, 2017

The college section on Smoaky is entertaining. There are usually a bunch of T Shirt fans bashing each other. Or a bunch of fans that dont have a clue.

Should we expect an announcement before NSD? Hoping we could get this guy out before NSD to lockup and fill these last 5-6 slots

Sweet and thanks! Guys, let's hope for a very busy and rewarding closing.

My dreamlist would be McNeal, Anderson, Carson to start. One can wish

The Rice OC job is now open. Traylor coached Luke Turner who went to Rice, and has a relationship with David Bailiff. Pure speculation here, but I could see a fit here.

Enough with the Traylor talk, I am interested to see who our new RB coach is.
