Promote Sloan.
Perusing the coaches in Louisiana, Michael Spurlock (36) at SLU sounds interesting as WR coach. He's from Mississippi, played at Ole Miss (behind Eli Manning and under Coach O), and spent 8+ yrs in the NFL. He's been moving up in his coaching career.
"A native of Indianola, Mississippi, Spurlock is entering his fourth season of his coaching career. His stints include stops at Philadelphia High School (2015, assistant coach), Coahoma Community College (2016, running backs coach/special teams coordinator), Dallas Cowboys (2016, special teams and defensive backs assistant) and UTSA (2017, special teams quality control/linebacker assistant/special teams quality control)."

What is the career track record for all Holtz' coaches that left?
Thanks for the clarification.
He wanted an opportunity when Skip was originally hired. He didn't get it. I wouldn't say he had any hard feelings. They had no previous connection, and apparently Skip didn't think he had done enough at a lower level to earn a shot. I'd love to see him get come back home, but I'm also not sure how interested he is in taking an QB job that is OC in name only. He wants to be the one calling the plays.

I'm not sure we could afford this guy (he made $300K this past year), but it might be worth a shot.

I think you forgot the link professor.......
Click on “this guy.”
Oh, thanks....I'd love to have former LA Tech receiver John Simon back on the LA Tech coaching staff. He would be a fantastic add.
One quick note: I thought I remembered Simon being with the 49er's for a while? But there's no mention of the 49er's in his bio.
Any OC we hire will suffer the same fate as Les Miles' coordinators.
Skip makes his assistants eat grass too?
Petersen made a lateral move to Marshall and Fitch just got on with a P5. Am I forgetting someone?
His DC’s have a very good track record of moving up.
I agree with Boxer on Sloan. He knows Skip will and the “transition” would be very smooth.
Simon, Kubik, Sloan, Likens. All with good Tech connections. You could sell me on any of those I think.
Local (but not Tech) guy I'd be curious about for DC would be Grambling's Todd. Looks like they've been pretty good against their conference.
But there are also usually several experienced guys coming off of bad seasons and looking to rehab their image some like Diaco or Diaz. I wonder if our budget will mean we have to mix and match - maybe one coordinator with more experience and the other in a first time calling the shots deal?
Get Orlando as DC, just fired from Texas........ sound familiar?
That's actually a good idea. Texas reassigned their OC too. YOU know these guys are talented, or they would have never been there in the first place. Maybe one of 'em needs a clean break.
Skip is very well connected to U of Texas. His son rode the bench there a few years and graduated from there in May of 2019. If anybody could pull one of those guys to Ruston, it's Skip.

Orlando is out, along with outside receivers coach/pass game coordinator Drew Mehringer and inside receivers coach Corby Meekins. All three assistants have been with Texas for the past three seasons, and Orlando also served as Herman's defensive coordinator at Houston.
