Anyone in the know have an idea who we lose?

[BTG_Fan1]

I'm guessing that rumor of Mainord leaving, but that was him to Texas(which I believe Tech filled the spot/never opened it)... but I would guess with the success of the DBs maybe Brooks? I would think Ruef and Ek are safe nor would leave without getting a DC job,

I have no info, but if EK got just a position coaching job else where he would take over staying Co-DC? I would think with the defense got ran over at the end of the year, that would drive people away?

Also, you think Orr is ready to be a coach? Not saying he isn't... in those videos he seemed to be great at breaking down film, etc.

If Orr is interested, and it's indeed Ek, then he's at least due an interview.

I'm thinking Mainord though.

Hate to Loose Ek but this is a great idea. Really enjoyed Orr on BTG film study with our LB! Orr could also be a big plus on recruiting!

Can you imagine Orr walking into DeSoto recruiting for NT?    Hello pipeline.

[Mean Green 93-98]

I love Zach.  But c'mon . . . who hires someone as an FBS position coach with zero coaching experience?

I'm really hoping it's not Ek or Reffett, though.

[EagleMBA]

It makes me sad to see this coaching staff start to unravel so soon. There is much to accomplish here and they are on the right track. You can't fault a guy for listening to a yuuuge offer that improves his life and resume...but really...only here for a year?

The Baltimore Ravens hired Mike Singletary as their LBs coach with no prior coaching experience.   Gotta start somewhere.

Again, if Zach has a passion to coach, that scenario (Ek leaving, freeing up a LB coach spot) would be extremely ideal for all involved.

[Cr1028]

I'd guess Mainord based on the last month or two but my sleeper pick is Ek to reunite with Jeremy Pruitt and coach LBs at Bama.

Gotta live it to teach it. An undersized, overachieving NFL LB that was considered one of the top LB in the NFL would be perfect! Oh and an alum of Desoto and UNT!

[GreenMachine]

Unfortunately I believe it's Ek.

[meanrob]

While staff continuity on a whole is a good thing.....everybody on this staff is replaceable. 

No excuses this time, Wren, Littrell and company gotta do whatever it takes to keep moving the ball forward.

...unless Zach struggles to learn how to coach.

Certainly a possibility.   Coaching isn't for everyone...  And for all we know, Zach may not want to coach anyway.

Would Victor Gill give us that Argyle pipeline?

Might be a slight difference?

Don't get me wrong, Argyle churns out some D1 talent for sure, but there's quite a difference between Argyle and DeSoto... not to mention, Victor Gill's name may not carry as much weight at Argyle as Zach's does at DeSoto.

[Travis]

What about Diet Coke guy? it has been a long while and I think he paid his dues long ago.

[Moobs]

I believe I read somewhere that the Ravens are looking into finding a way to keep Zach on staff there.  They like him that much.  Zach may not make it back down to the college levels.

[BTG_Fan1]

While I would like to bring in an Experienced coach, having Zac join the staff right now wouldn't be terrible if Ek did leave. Zac is would have Reff and LB to lean on up the middle. Also, Zac is someone that would bring the energy lost from Ek. I think a lot of these guys also would look up to him as a role model, someone who was doubted everywhere but still broke threw.. Also, Zac is someone who isn't or wouldn't be afraid to ask for help or anything, along with Zacs LBs would most often be going up vs SLs RBs at practice as well or Mainfords inside WRs, that they could help I'm out as well.

What he did in that film breakdown with Robertson and Scott showed he is someone that loves to watch film. Also feel like Zac could help connect with recent grads and present day students who knew who he was...
