- After his NFL career he coached juco ball until Dykes hired him at Tech in 2010.
- Texas Tech, his alma mater, hired him after the 2012 season.
- Texas Tech fired him and Holtz picked him up again. He made $100K at Tech for two seasons. Not bad for a guy who had just been fired.
- He was loyal to Dykes who was obviously desperate for a DB coach. We'll never know how much SMU paid him, but it was never about money. He owed Dykes.
Of course Diaz chose to take the easy way out and bash Tech, but offers no solutions to the perceived problem.
Re: Dykes steals a coach from Tech
I'm not sure what area Curtis was responsible with, I'd bet Tank can pick it up. He probably has some good contacts in Texas and Louisiana. The guy is young and full of energy.
He has been climbing, this opening should fit him quite well.
- Former Tech football player/alumn
- All-WAC Defensive Back
- Played on 2008 I-Bowl Team
- Played Pro (CFL and AFL)
- Assistant at Morgan City and Patterson HS
- Assistant at UT-Permian Basin
- DB Coach at UTBU
- Promoted to DC at UTBU
Re: Dykes steals a coach from Tech
I'm not sure what this is about (I could be reading too much into this post), I hope it's good news that he's our DB coach.

Skip Holtz may have helped him get that job. I'm sure Skip is still very connected there.

He was here from 2007-09 under Dooley. I just posted here since Tech was mentioned.

Joseph’s first job at the FBS level came as the secondary coach at Louisiana Tech from 2007-09. He also served as the recruiting coordinator for the Bulldogs during his time in Ruston.

Re: Dykes steals a coach from Tech
Easy hire. Call DC/ST coach Calais, he's been in west and east Texas for 3 years or so. Also he spent time as FB coach in south Louisiana (Patterson and Morgan City).

we all know Skip is great Recruiter of players but we tend to overlook the coaches he brings to Tech.
Re: Dykes steals a coach from Tech
Good hire. Really wanted Tank for selfish reasons, but he's still super young. Still, hope to have him back in some capacity at some point.
Speaking of former players coaching the former position they played at Tech... anyone know what Quin Harris is up to these days?

A relative of mine noticed him in Denver. I think he's doing really well with his career (but I don't know exactly what it is).
