LB Coach Galen Scott leaving for UTSA

[KajunKrazy]

Haven't any of you ever entertained and accepted a position in another part of the country? Lots of factors considered when making that sort of move...including will my wife and kids be happy etc

True. But most coaches don’t up root for a lateral move unless there are issues at the current school.

There is an assumption here that he is not getting a nice bump in salary, lateral or not.

Jeff Traylor is likely to be a P5 coach next year. Hitch your wagon to someone successful.

When Des was hired, one of the knocks was that he didn't have deep ties, so his assistant coaches weren't top notch.
After Year 1, when no coaches left, this reinforced this knock as people said, See ... no one wants these assistant coaches.
After Year 2, with two coaches leaving, one for a P5 position the knock is now that the rats are leaving a sinking ship.

The only thing I know for certain is that no one on this board knows the answers, but it won't stop any of us from trying to use information to support what we already believe in.

Wasn't Galen Scott & Jeff Norrid carry over from Napier though ?

LOL at your last sentence.

No idea, but doesn't change the narrative.

A. They must not have been good enough to go with Napier to Florida.
B. Des doesn't have the contacts to find good coaches that could replace these guys (reinforced by the fact that Des hasn't replaced the OL coach yet). Historically a lot of assistant coaching moves happen AFTER the AFCA meetings in early January.

Kinda does though. 2 coaches that wasn't directly hired by Dez is the only 2 to get offered equal or better jobs.

Once again, we don't know if they are the only 2 to get offered. The only thing we know is that they are the only ones to move on ... so far.

I am pretty sure that we aren't hiring a second OL coach, seems like we are hiring a OC instead

At this point, UTSA ain’t a lateral move.
