buckeyebob Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 He's only interviewing. It doesn't mean he will get the job. I wish him the best, however, and if that's what he wants to do I say go for it. Remember...pillage then burn...screws up if reversed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyebob Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 He was offered more money at Texas to keep him from the OC position at Mizzu. Taking a D1 HC position is a huge step even if it is Texas State. A lot more than just offense and defense. Not sure if just having one year of college experience is enough to go for it. But who would have thunk that Gilmer boy comes home to roost...starts a program...does real well & we love him...named the stadium Jeff Traylor Stadium...fullfills boyhood dream of coaching in burnt orange...he will do well whereever he lands...priceless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefMav Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 As a Texas fan I hope he stays put he's a ace recruiter and his offensive expertise is going to be great to mesh with the new guy Gilbert if he's instrumental in getting a Texas back rolling better options than Texas St will come calling.

BuckNut Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Step up step down who gives a rip if he wants to apply for the job go for it . I don't think he cares what step it is, he is going to do what he feels is best for him. If he feels like the best thing is to come back to East Texas and drive a dump truck go for it don't worry about what everyone else thinks.

nofear13 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Lets see Art Briles, takes assistants job at Texas Tech, one year later Head Coach University Houston, not sure 2 or three years later Head Coach Baylor University. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdJesus Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I'm just trying to figure out what body of work Texas state is basing this off of because UT's special teams was pathetic. Great recruiter though I know for a 100% fact, from first-hand knowledge, that the special teams issues were not Taylor's fault. He urged them to spend more time on special teams, and they simply wouldn't. Can't get better at something if you devote 0 time to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 4to3 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Hmmmm....Jake got accepted to the Red McCombs school of business at UT. I don't think he's going anywhere but if he does I wish him the best for success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportsfan122316 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 If he decides to go to TS, and whatever he does, he will do well at, you might be able to get some of those recruits to follow him. Not saying they would be leaving UT for a better school, but would leaving for instant playing time. Wonder if he would be like Chad Morris and hire some high school coaches?

Sportsfanatic1 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 He will go after Surratt. Surratt had a chance to go to LSU and Texas and turned them both down. Don't see him going to TSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
