@johngranato: @CoachDavidGibbs is one of the great bowl coaches of all time. A big job is waiting for him and @zspav. They'll be missed here.

Other guy is Zac Soavital...DB's coach at Houston

You have to be kidding me. His defense leads the nation this year and he is considered one of the TOP DCs in the nation PLUS (even though the AllBuffs wisdom says DCs don't recruit) - he is a top recruiter.

I would take him in a heartbeat even with the Million $ price tag.

Interesting stats you show, but just to clarify, it wasn't his defense in 99-03. That would be the other Stoops brother (Veneables had the "co" title, but focused on linebackers).

BV was the dc from 04-11, but there were only 2 decent years during that span. He was "allowed" to pursue other opportunities so that bobby's brother could come back as the dc.

Nice to see he's doing a bit better at Clemson.

Very interesting. From today?
 
Yep. And John Granato is fairly plugged into the UH scene. I think this is our guy unless that comeback win has given Gibbs second thoughts. Even then, Herman will likely want to hire his own DC anyway.

Yep. Apparently the guy is a big UH booster

That it is, was on the wrong column

Granato is a sports media guy. He's hosted sports talk for quite a while and has gotten into radio management. Like I said, he is plugged into UH athletics. I think his info is legit unless Gibbs has second thoughts.

Are we sure that tweet would not have anything to do with Michigan?

Doubt it b/c I don't think he has been identified anywhere as a possible candidate for Michigan and obviously Harbaugh can get almost anyone on the market. D Gibbs is a great candidate this year but I don't think he is a top choice for UM.

It could, however, be for TT where he also interviewed. So far noone seems to reporting anything on Colorado, in fact I can't find any scoop sites (outside of Rivals) that have formally reported who CU has interviewed. However D Gibbs interview with TT was public knowledge and reported in numerous places. I think RG and HCMM are keeping things on the down low.
 
There is some bashing of the SEC going on in major media while praise for the PAC given that we are totally dominating the bowl season at this point.

One season will not completely change the national mindset regarding the strength of the PAC vs. the SEC but it is certainly opening people's eyes. I wonder if it could have any influence on coaching decisions if not this season, in the coming seasons. Still the SEC is seen as the place for the conference with the best all-around talent and best coaches. But this season could help change that, making the PAC more attractive for up and coming coaches.

You would think of all the coaches that might be attracted to the PAC, you have to think a DC who thinks he can outreach any OC, they would love the challenge of proving it in the PAC with the crazy talented offenses and the significant variety in offenses to scheme against.

I hope the power shifts for recruiting. Coaches are smart enough to see through the bull****, but 17 year olds for the most part are not.

This is not an argument but a question. How many athletes from the core PAC footprint (not including TX since there are no PAC teams in TX and there is an SEC one), choose SEC every year? Is it like 5 or more like 50?

Does this mean you are giving credence to the rumor we might be looking at him? I am not sure I am opposed to him, but if true, it is certainly concerning that we may have struck out with our top 3/4 candidates.

Well, I really like the recruiting aspect of his bio

From Rivals last year:
Marion Hobby, Clemson
Buzz: Hobby took the lead on Ebenezer Ogundeko, and their relationship helped to lure the four-star despite a late push from in-state school Syracuse. Hobby was the lead recruiter for four-star wide receiver Mike Williams, one of top talents in the state of South Carolina who also helped fill a position of need in this year's class. Hobby's in-state work continued when he reeled in versatile athlete Jadar Johnson and helped to keep him despite late pushes from other BCS schools.

Clemson D was salty, but not sure how much of that was Venables and how much was Hobby. Also, doesn't look like he's coached out west to this point in his career.

I will laugh so hard, if after all the speculation that the Buffs will get a stud defensive coordinator, they end up hiring Marion freaking Hobby
 
I would say that it sounds like we missed on our primary targets if we end up moving to Hobby.

Not sure how else you could read this. Unless perhaps it was a guy HCMM was quietly pursuing and noone (like Rivals) got a whiff of it.

Go play intramurals, brother. Seriously, you are to this board what Hawkins was as the coach.
