TFB on the secondary --
On the matter of Gideon and Joseph, this is going to be something to watch. Based on what I’ve heard, it sounds like their respective roles may not have been entirely clear. Terry Joseph came to Texas as a passing game coordinator at Notre Dame. In other words, he runs the secondary and then will have help from a cornerbacks coach.
It sounds like Gideon was under the impression that he would be coaching both Special Teams and Safeties. But, a passing game coordinator coaches the safeties. And, Gideon wasn’t coaching safeties at Ole Miss.
So, I’m not exactly sure how this is going to play out. But as one source said, Terry Joseph isn’t coming to Texas just to coach cornerbacks. That’s a step back in his career and he’s considered too talented as a developer to go back to just being a corners coach.
