Good. I'm excited and ready to see real Texas football again. Herman is young enough to build something very special at Texas and stay a long time to enjoy it.

Now Higdon is saying Aranda is not happening. LOL.

Don't believe a damn thing you read on coaching hires until you see it announced on the Texas Athletics website.

Higdon said he was going against the grain by picking Aranda. Apparently, their information is bad again or they report hunches. Either way, I don't consider him credible.
 
24/7 confirmed Herman doesn't plan on retaining any of Strong's assistant
 
So I did a search of who the top DCs are in college football and this is who came up.

  • Dave Wommack, Ole Miss. Credit: 247Sports. ...
  • Todd Grantham, Louisville. Jeremy Brevard-USA TODAY Sports. ...
  • Geoff Collins, Florida. Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports. ...
  • Don Brown, Michigan. Credit: 247Sports. ...
  • Bob Shoop, Tennessee. Credit: 247Sports. ...
  • Jeremy Pruitt, Alabama. John Amis/Associated Press. ...
  • Dave Aranda, LSU. ...
  • John Chavis, Texas A&M.
Scratch off Chavis, and Aranda, I won't take anyone at Alabama since we know Saban will always have his finger prints over that defense.

Can anyone tell me about the guy from Louisville and the guy from Ole Miss?
 
I never thought Tim Brewster was all that when he was with us. Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't he the recruiting coordinator when Mack Brown came? I look at the "gold star" recruits he was credited with signing. So many of them were not as good as Brewster himself made them out to be. Cris Simms, Roy Williams, Brock Edwards and a few more. And I never liked the way he carried himself when the team came out on the field before the game. He had this pompous strut about him he acted like he was more important than what he was. I'm not surprised he didn't pan out at Minnesota. Maybe he's been humbled.

Wasn't Darrell Wyatt with Herman at Houston as well? I just don't know what to make of Major Applewhite's time at Texas. I've heard so many stories.

Tim Brewster is responsible for some guy named Vince Young and possibly the greatest recruiting class in Longhorn history.

I haven't heard that many, but 99% of the ones I have involve Tim Brewster. He is widely considered one of the best recruiters in college football.
 
Forget UT and Vince Young, Tim Brewster is one of the greatest recruiters in college football history. That is beyond debate. If you 'never thought he was all that' then you simply never thought.

As others have noted, without Tim Brewster Texas has zero MNCs since 1970.

I don't want to get into an argument but Tim Brewster left after loi day in 2002. He was not around for the development of Vince Young. I guess he was a decent te coach. Mike Jones was a pretty good te under him, Brock Edwards was not. But the best te of the Mack Brown era was David Thomas. Did Brewster recruit him? And even if he did he signed on the same day Vince did which means he wasn't around for David either.

Bo Scaipe was a awesome TE under him.

The thing is you HAVE to GET the kid on campus before you can win. The development is important but if you don't GET the kid it doesn't matter.

Brewster started following Mack and Major on twitter last night.

Not that it has anything to do with the actual topic, but doesn't that seem kind of weird. With their history, I would have thought they already followed each other.

Yes, David Thomas was in the 2002 class.
 
Fans are way too simplistic in assigning development of players to their position coach. Position coaches are more or less paid to recruit not to run drills during practice.

Not sure how Mack handled things but Strong assigned assistants by region. Brewster was given the assignment of recruiting the priority guys. I don't know if he recruited any TEs, but I know after a couple of Knee injuries Bo Scaife was playing at a very high level.

I agree. If you had a mediocre TE coach that routinely pulled in 5-6 high 4 star/5 star recruits at different positions, would you really care that he wasn't developing AA TE's. Strictly from a cost/benefit standpoint.

Pretty much. There are very few just badass position coaches out there partly because they advance pretty quickly beyond position coach if that's the case, but there are some out there. For the most part the badass position coaches we know of are more or less badass for their recruiting not their teaching.

Agree to an extent, but the degree to which that's the case depends upon the position. RB, WR, and TE coaches need to be recruiting rainmakers above all else. An OL coach is at the other end of the spectrum -- useless if he's not a great teacher.
