Ha!
Akina did make the list!
He was a lot better DB position coach than a coordinator.

Joe,
I am curious your thoughts on the recruiting chops of this offensive staff. I have heard good this about Sark's ability to recruit. What about the rest of the offensive staff. Having the best offensive minds in the business only gets you so far in college - need those 'cruits.

BTW, Stan's latest follows are
Milwee
Gideon, and
Wiggins

If so, then the dream of Keary Colbert to Texas is dead
I corrected it.

Sark is a solid recruiter
I wrote this on the recruiting board
FWIW, Sark is a good recruiter. His 2015 USC class was really stacked -- four 5-stars and 12 players ranked in the top 100.
He even did well at Wash, including Shaq Thompson who I think is the highest rated player that program has ever signed. He also landed several guys that made the NFL from there -- Kevin King, Sefarian-Jenkins, Desmond Trufant, Danny Shelton, Marcus Peters, Bishop Stanley, Dante Petrie, John Ross.

Flood was a big part of Bama's OL class, including the Brocks, Jaeden Roberts and 5-star JC Latham. And he was already working on these Texas 2022 OLs -- Devon Campbell, Neto Umeozulu, Kelvin Banks, Cole Hutson, Jaylen Early and Kam Dewberry, which should help as we absolutely must nail 2022 OL recruiting.
Wiggins was part of landing JoJo Earle and 5-star WR Jacorey Brooks but is known more as a good position coach than he is recruiter. He did not recruit DeVonta Smith but he did coach Smith up (first WR Heisman since Tim Brown) so you would think that would count for something with recruits (like Drayton and Elliott) + he had 4 1st round picks in 2 years (so, there's that). I admit was hoping for USC's Colbert at WR. But, there is also something to be said for staff continuity.
Milwee was only an analyst at Alabama so didnt recruit for them. He probably did recruit at Akron.
The defensive side is where you will find the names the real recruiting pipehitters -- Raymond, Lupoi and Davis are all top shelf recruiters. It's unlikely we would be lucky enough to land them all and, to be fully honest, I am not sure we land any of them. But it would be really something if we did. It would be a new day for Texas Football, in more than one respect.
My sense is that college football has changed forever. NCAA enforcement is more lax than ever. They just dont seem to care at all anymore. The powers that be at Texas all seem to realize that we may no longer have any choice but to get down on the SEC's level just in order to beat them in our own state. It's a new day. If you think about who has had the most successful bagmen operations in CFB, I would say Carroll at USC and Saban at Alabama. Sarkisian was in deep at both. Just sayin.

Told you it wouldn't take long for some of our classier brethren to throw out reference's to Sark's issues and his recovery.
Remember their names.
You sure about that? It was pink for me.
That guy has been a sorry POS as a poster all along, No surprise to read that coming from him.Told you it wouldn't take long for some of our classier brethren to throw out reference's to Sark's issues and his recovery.

Sponsor or take your BS over to surly where you belong.
I'm color blind in my day dreams.
He must feel like a real winner surviving all of this. Give that man a medal
LJ Johnson has moved TX back as his leader due to Drayton being retained, oh that and a new head coach.
Hope you are right but just don't see this move. Jeez there is a lot of smoke around a coach still at another school.
I have my favorites but like what I see. Concerned current Alabama coaches are just getting raises at Sabin's request and as parting gifts for letting Sark play through.

I dont think so with Flood or Milwee, but it does look like Odom was able to pull it off from Ark

I'm trying to see how I can get my name out there and leverage my boss for a pay raise. Think I could get my name planted out there long enough to get Golden or Bohls to report something and make it happen. Only problem is....the boss is me, so....those debits and credits....

From our side, the idea seems to be that the hiring of Gideon was evidence that Muschamp was Sark's first choice and they had already reached some type of agreement. Boom approved Blake
Some people think Saban then weighed in that he wants him for eventual DC
And we did start talking to other potential DCs (Odom, Arnett, Freeman)
Then the idea popped up that Boom would spend a year at FLA to be able to spend that time with his son who is there
And his name has also been mentioned with a list of other schools

To be fair I don't understand how this works, but it seems very collegial for Saban to allow are next coach to play in the championship. Seems more than practical....
OrangeBloods saying another name they're hearing for the new S&C coach is Torre Becton of Cal.
He worked under Sark at Washington
Torre Becton - Football Coach - University of California Golden Bears Athletics

I was not stating a conclusion, I just post what I see that I think is interesting
I dont know if he is a realistic option or not
We will all find out together

Some quotes --
"I'm excited about the opportunity at Texas. It's a tremendous one for me. But the commitment I made to Coach Saban two years ago was the same commitment I made to these players. That's focusing on this game and giving this game the attention it deserves."
"My week, for me, would be a normal game week as if I hadn't taken the Texas job. My focus is on the game, I'm prepping for the ballgame. Any spare time that I do have, that's getting my attention for the job at Texas, whether that's staffing or recruiting."
