Can't believe he is getting rid of deruyter (sp?). Better hire a 3-4 guy or you won't have the right personnel.

teasips have been following our coaching situation VERY closely, folks.

The biggest 3-4 DEs move to DT in a defensive change along with 2 or 3 NTs on the depth chart.

That'll be one scary transition if we switch defensive fronts going into next year.

Our DL depth would most likely take a huge hit next year. But Sumlin runs a 3-4 at Houston, so he very well might retain Deruyter or hire another 3-4 guy. But I've heard it said somewhere that Sumlin only ran a 3-4 be ause it was harder to recruit top-quality linemen than linebackers at Houston so he was maximizing his talent on the field.

I figured if Sumlin's the guy, he would bring in Stoops.

TOAS (the other aggie site) is also reporting it

As for closely following the search, there is nothing else going on right now.

Don't confuse them with facts, Brandi. Do we have enough 3-technique guys to make the switch? I haven't looked.

Doesn't matter what front you run. Your dline recruiting has been awful. Not sure you can come close to replacing the seniors you lose.

Sumlin transitioned from a 4-3 def. to a 3-4 def. at houston. The 5-7 year was their first year in a 3-4 def, so there is a chance that he continues to run the 3-4 def. I do hope he is open to retaining some coaches here in Aggieland.

Reports are that he has already released everyone.

I don't know what the numbers will look like on the depth chart yet. In general in a switch from a 3-4 to a 4-3 the heavier DEs move to DT with the NT, and then you take OLBs and make them DEs, generally an OLB or two become MLBs, so you need a lot of OLBs, and you do what you can with your ILBs.

Also: Houston's base set 3-4 featured a lot of a LB position they call the OR, I think, but it is really a Jack on the line of scrimmage like a DE in a 4 man front. I haven't thought about the schemes or the charts in particular because the staff hasn't been assembled.

Lurking on not one but two aggie websites.

Something worth obsessing over is worth obsessing well, I guess.

I hope Sumlin is like Chalkie (sp?) White. All he has to do is ask the refs "hey, how's your family doing", next thing you know we are getting all the calls. Won't matter what D we throw out there.

"anyone here know letters?"

You better hope that Chalkie analagy extends to recruiting since, ya know, all black people know each other. [/klanwhorns]

Recruiting is general has been poor for the A&M defense. I'm not sure if it really matters what defense A&M runs. Either way they have to start over.

To the best of my knowledge, he has not released anyone- they are all coaching in two weeks

Rossley had retired- that was planned already
McMillan- is the new Bryan High coach (his alma mater); it was well known he wanted to be head coach at a high school as he thought he could make a bigger impact on kids lives
DeRuyter- new Fresno State head coac
Toth- new Fresno State DC
Dat Nguyen- new Fresno State LB coach
Walters- was probably on the way out regardless of what happened
Tyrell Williams- absolutely will be retained; leading the recruiting charge right now
Turner- TBD; being recruited by tOSU as their line coach
Kennedy- S&C coach most likely will be replaced by Larry Jackson who played LB for TAMU

I hate losing Dat. His experience in recognizing the offensive sets from the booth will be badly missed.

Sounds like cleaning house to me. It can go in one of two ways. Hope you do better, but I have the sense you could be in some real trouble.
