Just wanted to make this thread so we'll have a place to mention the incoming (& hopefully retained in the case of a couple people) staff as more information becomes available.
Is he ready to be a WR coach in FBS? Obviously he can teach the game to HSers quickly as well as instill a tremendous work ethic and pride into a program. It is very reminiscent of what Kragthorpe did here. You don't take players who don't know how to win and don't know the right way to work and turn it around 180 degrees without being able to reach them and teach them.Originally posted by Chris Harmon:
As soon as Blankenship was fired, Brennan told me he wanted to be on the next staff. He got his resume in over the weekend, and Gragg was supposed to give it to Coach Montgomery.
If anyone in this world deserves success it's Brennan Marion. Wherever he goes I am routing for him!Originally posted by TU_BLA:
Clint Rountree has been retained as Director of HS Relations & Recruiting. Not a surprise. However, one of the tweets that congratulated him was from the MilkMan himself, Brennan Marion and he indicated he would see him soon. There has been some behind the scenes lobbying to get Brennan on staff here. Brennan was extremely successful coaching Waynesboro HS this past year bringing them from 0-10 in 2013 to a district title this year. First district title and first winning season (according to article) in 22 years. Milkman can coach and he put in Malzahn's offense this year.
WOW, good for him!Originally posted by sonofbird:
I talked to Brennan yesterday, and he and his family are on their way to Tulsa to go through the interview process.

Agreed, a GA spot would probably be more likely for Marion due to the experience aspect. I think there are stipulations that would hinder this from happening though. I thought the Milkman was a few credit hours short from graduating? I am pretty sure that this is a requirement in order to GA because you have to be in GRAD school. Without an undergrad degree you obviously cant get participate in the graduate program which will then close out a GA possibility...... As for a quality control position I don't really know the requirements, if any, for that job.Originally posted by rockycane17:
Milkman has all of two years of high school coaching experience, only one in Pennsylvania. Seems unlikely he has made serious in roads there that would help recruiting in any measurable way. Likewise, he has two years of highs chool coaching experience. Seems to me coach Monty probably has some more qualified GAs at Baylor that he's likely more interested in hiring.
All this is not to say that montgomery wouldn't offer him a GA spot. I just don't see him on staff full time.
