this is what a guy named hiphippopotomus wrote on Shaggy:
odified a post I made earlier:
Sterlin Gilbert was brought in as a GA by Mike Spradlin when he was on staff at UH and Art Briles was HC. Thats when Gilbert learned the 'Briles Offense'.
When Mike Spradlin left UH to become HC at Abilene Cooper he brought Gilbert with him to install and run the Briles offense and coach QB's.
Gilbert left Abilene Cooper to become HC at a couple of different HS's - installing the Brile offense at each stop.
When Dino Babers left Baylor (he was WR coach) and asked Briles/Montgomery who he should look for to install run his offense they recommeded Gilbert. Babers hired Gilbert to coach QB's and to install and run the Briles offense at FCS school EIU.
When Babers left EIU to become Head Coach at Bowling Green he brought Gilbert with him to install and run the offense.
When long time Briles assistant and OC Phil Montgomery finally left Baylor to take the Head Coach position at Tulsa he hired away Gilbert to install and help run the offense.
A few years ago when Montgomery was asked who should take over the Baylor offense if he was ever 'hit by a car' he said 'Sterlin Gilbert, that guys a stud'.
Gilbert has been a part of three 'installations' of the Briles offense at the college level in the last 5 years, and was hired by three of Briles formerassistants.
Honestly - if not for nepotism, I half-expect that Gilbert would be the one running Baylor's offense right now.
Ian Boyd has a great article on the X's & O's of what we can expect to see.

Everyone bitches about the lost opportunity of not hiring Lincoln Riley when Strong first started filling out his staff. Gilbert is Lincoln Riley three years ago. He's a rising star that you take a shot on - and if he hits you've got something incredible.
