The hire I wish we'd hear some news on which I actually think is a more important hire than DC at this point is Strength and Conditioning Coach.
So what are saying is hottie for Elko over this S&C coach?HonoraryTexan said:
I'd just like to say on record… Elko has done a brilliant job assembling his crew so far. Despite the losses in the portal, I'm genuinely hyped for this coming year. It really feels like he could be building a squad that could do some incredible damage. But the good damage. Not the Sumlin damage.
I hated to hear the news that Coach Moffitt wasn’t being retained at #LSU. I knew this day would come eventually, and I knew it would feel like this. Tommy Moffitt was the person that molded me to be the player I was from Day 1 on campus. #YeahYeahYeah

Do we (you) know WHY it "may take a little longer"?vander54 said:
So far every hire by Elko has been good. I'd give him a solid A on his hires.
DC may take a little longer but I'm looking forward to it.

and a DC hire being expedited would be MUCH more important if our head coach wasn't one of the top DC's in the country for multiple years leading up to becoming a head coach. I'd be concerned if we had an offensive play caller as head coach. Elko will find/get who he needs.vander54 said:whatthehey78 said:Do we (you) know WHY it "may take a little longer"?vander54 said:

Yes and it's not bad necessarily unless you're one that think we have to have a DC to recruit defensive players. Also its not because we're waiting on anyone or been rejected. The closest to a rejection we've seen is Fuller and I'm not sure how far that progressed.
Wouldn't be terrible. The effort our WR played with under him I haven't seen since. Those guys played every play 100% no matter where the play was going.gaudiz said:
David Beaty for WR coach (now at FIU)? A great recruiter, former WR coach under Sumlin, great ties to TX.
I remember getting invited to go watch Spring ball one year and Listening to him coach his guys is the one thing I really remember well. He is a great teacher and explainer of what he wants from his guys at receiver.gaudiz said:
