I am excited about Lupoi, he is a badass. I am probably more sold on him than Ash. But its true that there were some "recruiting issues" with him in the past and I do not remember the NCAA ever coming down on him(lol). Plus, I am not saying we should put him in charge of the entire university. I just want to see and complete and total commitment from Herman to winning. Let us let go of this idea we can only hire people we worked with in the past. It's narrow minded and reeks of insecurity. Let's hire badasses across the field.
That said, 247 Texas thinks that Lupoi was actually interviewing for the DL position, not LB. Which is possible given his background. So there is a split among the paysites on this. We will have to wait for some clarity (bc if it was the DL then we already know what happened there)
Anyway, they say another possible at LB is Dave Huxtable, ex of DC of NC St. And I am willing to bet you can guess who he used to coach with. Need a hint?
at Wisconsin in 2011
Lastly, 247 also brought up 2 possibles names to replace Drayton if necessary -- Frank Wilson and Louis Ayeni (Northwestern)
