Just saw a tweet saying Mazzone is going to sip as a quality control coach. Wow, they are wanting to stay mediocre. I like it

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe quality control of the urine samples

So he'll get paid 1.1M from A&M while being an analyst at Texas? I guess A&M will subtract his salary at Texas but what do analyst make? 60K?

They are probably hoping he can sway Gunnell

You're not supposed to capitalize t.u. Did you learn anything in school?

Did his offense rank higher than Chief's defense?

I'd guess half that amount for off field support staff. That said, I never thought of Anwar Richardson as having any credibility.

but try as he might, he'll never screw us more than he did the last two years.

We can make fun of Mazzone all we want, but he has value.

Alabama has like 30 recruiters.

Mazzone brought in Josh Rosen to UCLA. He will likely be a 1st Rounder. Likely would have been anyway, but from my understanding, Mazzone impacted Rosen, even before getting to UCLA. Sosa Jamabo was also part of the same recruiting class.

Starkel was WAY down the list of QBs. We had a commit (some guy now at tOSU) and from all outward indications... Starkel is going to be great.

I have opinions about Gunnel. But, Mazzone may have a tight relationship with him and Chase Lane, Jalen Curry et al, from St. Pius. He may also have influence towards other recruits we have on the board.

So... spending $1M on Mazzone just to improve recruiting for 2018/2019...

2018's Jalen Preston might be interested...

What will their OL situation for Gunnel be compared to ours?
Will they ever play on TV...or at least after everyone wakes up?

Probably the same as most QC guys out there, but they are getting him at our expense (quite literally), so not the worst hire in the world. For sure not the most attractive hire, either

You're saying he was hired with the intent to break NCAA rules? QC coaches are not permitted to participate in coaching duties including directly recruiting players.

Can QC guys have any contact with recruits ?

Let me break this before Anwar....

Sources say Jimbo Fisher wanted Mazzone to stay at A&M as his OC but he was already in talks with Texas about the QC job. Texas is Mazzone's dream location and even A&M's considerable financial offer was not enough to convince him to stay on.

Do we honestly think Gunnel wanted to come to A&M because he loved what Mazzone was doing??? Gunnel is a very smart kid. I'd be astonished if that was the case. Any intelligent QB watching what we were doing that wants to play in the NFL would run far far away from our offense last year.

As mentioned above, QC coaches can't coach on the field or recruit.

But this is probably a good landing spot for Mazzone. His biggest problem was adjusting theory for players or game time conditions. So an offline analysis role fits him well.

Didnt he just just finish year 2 of his deal? Thought I read the buyout was $500K for the remaining years.

It will not be with this 2018 class, but starting in 2019 we will be knocking the snot out of tu in recruiting. Every single one of Jimbo's hires are excellent to elite recruiters.

Texas already has a QB committed next year in Roshon Johnson. I doubt they are looking to add a second since they have 4 underclassmen QBs already on campus.

Second, I hear that the biggest competition for Gunnel is going to be Arkansas, I don't remember why they are, but there is a relationship with the Arkansas staff that might sway him away.

If you saw the play calling at Texas last year you would know that the Texas offense is going to need all the help they can get.

As for the Texas oline, they are hosting a few grad transfer guys including an all conference guy who is an instant starter if he decides to pick Texas.

You don't understand why Arkansas? It Morris. 100%.

No, they don't. Only the core group of actual coaches are allowed to do recruiting.

LOL at anyone thinking this move will have any impact on Gunnel.

Mazzone's last 2 QB's had 50% completion percentages. That is WITH throwing a bunch of sideways passes...

I didn't say it would impact him, I said they are probably hoping it would. Big difference. If anything it reeks of desperation.

Wrong! It is family ties. Grandfather played with Jerruh there in the 60's and mother went there.

This has already been covered on here.

True but I bet a good number of their support staff do scouting for the recruiters.
