Honestly, if Texas ends up with Sterlin Gilbert, Matt Maddox and Luke Wells (of Utah State), I'm not sure Strong will be the HC at Texas in 2017. I have seen nothing of Gilbert/Maddox that would make me excited about those two (if hired). I don't think any of them has what it takes to save Strong in 2016, unfortunately.
But I have the weekend off, so I'm going to watch a lot of Tulsa this weekend. Sigh.
OrangeBloods says they're hearing TCU OC, Doug Meacham, has landed the head coaching job at Tulane.
Makes more sense that Cumbie decided to stay at TCU.
Tulsa had a great offensive year, but Strong has more problems than just offense.Quote:

Looks like there may be a third candidate-

Rhett Lashlee Just got a text from a friend, saying he is interviewing this afternoon

Bobby Burton just said, that it appears that Doug Meacham is the next HC at Tulane. That might explain a thing or two.

Apparently there are reports that Doug Meacham & Tulane were happening…sources tell FootballScoop that Meacham is not even a candidate.
Meacham in Houston recruiting and hasn't even talked about the job, much less interviewed for it. Some 3rd rate guy in Louisiana threw that out and everyone believed it.Quote:

They're also hearing the Tulsa football players should be informed tonight of the decision.
Not excited at all about this potential hire. But anything is better than the current situation.Quote:

After some research I found that Tulsa's Total Team Offense ranked 16th this year in production amongst all FBS schools. Not bad considering the situation we find ourselves in, in the same rankings Texas was 94th. Hope Gilbert's picked up some of the play calling knowledge. Tulsa also put up the most points on the playoff bound Sooners so there's some positive vibes.
OrangeBloods with one more report that Gilbert has informed the head coach of Tulsa that he intends to take the UT job.
The potential assistants he will bring with him remain the same: Matt Mattox (OL, Tulsa) and Luke Wells (WRs, Utah State).
Correct.Quote:

Any more info on Brendan Ferns, the ILB from Ohio. Kind of strange if Texas doesn't follow up on his interest in the program being that he's a highly touted player at a position of need.Quote:

Dalton Santos returns next year, the only other ILB I can think of.Quote:

I definitely think Texas would take both Dontavious Jackson and David Reese, and it seems like they feel confident in both (according to 24/7, that was the impression Ferns' father left).Quote:
