HELL TO THE YEAH!!!!
Does he have eligibility left?
Guessing will start as an analyst.
Doubtful. He’ll be in a role that allows him to recruit and work with players in some capacity
Nah. CP talked about how much the kids love him and you want him on the recruiting trail. Analysts can’t instruct or recruit. I’m guessing Sunseri retires or moves to an off the field role. He’s 64.

Maybe one year as an analyst before transitioning into Sal’s spot. He could probably benefit from just being around in a full time role for a year given he has no college coaching experience.
What are the rules around analysts recruiting? I think they can “fill in” for open on-field positions and recruit at times.

So he’s going to fire a current assistant?
You can have a certain number of employees recruiting off campus at any given time. There is no specific rule as to what the title or position of those employees may be, only a limit on the number. Anyone recruiting off campus must have the NCAA certification, but you can have an unlimited number of employees with that certification.
So yes, you can have an analyst out on the road recruiting; it simply means that a position coach needs to not be out recruiting that day.
Maybe. Or a current staff member leaves on his own. There are also other roles on staff that he can fill without being one of the ten AC. Analysts are Pat Shurmer/Mike Zimmer/Willie Taggart types. Guys who have been around coaching, scouting and gameplanning forever. Sapp is completely wasted in that role
I’m sure Prime knows exactly what he wants so I’m not concerned.
Man, I’m sure he has great knowledge. But he’s never coached at any level and never recruited nor gone through the grind that both those jobs require.
I’m not saying he can’t. I’m not saying he won’t be great. But it will definitely be interesting. And who can doubt Prime anymore? Not me!!
Willie Taggart is not with Buffs…I think.
Sapp has been doing a lot of x's & o's breakdowns on his show. He's a technician. He's not ready to be a coordinator at this level, but he's absolutely someone who can coach the DL group, contribute heavily to film breakdown & game planning, mentor players, and recruit.
Which is why I think he’ll be in some position other than Analyst which can’t interact with players or do much recruiting.
It's one of those "the outcome reveals the truth" situations in my mind. If true and he's disruptive in a bad way, he won't be hired. If he's hired, then I trust Coach Prime's diligence and acumen with building an organizational staff for the culture he wants so it would put any "Sapp is toxic" whispers to bed for me.
Big Jim
WTF?
A bit premature to make these statements as if they are fact. He hasn't ever coached so they are unknowable at this time.
