Who's it gonna be? I know Bennett said he wanted to have most of his assistants hired quickly(by Monday I think). Are there any rumors floating around as to who that might be?
I think I can speak for most folks in saying that a good offensive coord. could make the biggest difference in next years team. This is the most important hire, besides Bennett.

He said he wants to have them hired by Monday, but they won't be in here for a while because he also said that most of the assistants on his list will be in bowl games. I like the sound of that.

so is he going to let us know who they are? Or will he wait awhile because of the bowl games?

Sounds like Coach Bennett is constructing a kind of coaches 'Dream Team'. Hope it pans out for him. This is truly exciting. I'm literally glued to this board and the DMN for news.

I can see the headlines now...

Read in the SI article where Dat Nguyen is a close family friend. Wonder if we can get him to join us for spring ball as a linebackers position coach. Hehehehe!!

More than anything, we need a good tactician who will run an offense that will make the most of the skills our guys do have...and will allow them to compete. We have a major challenge ahead in the offensive line, losing the all important left side starters.

Offensive coordinator was one of Coach Cavan's most crucial decisions. It will be one of Coach Bennett's most crucial decisions. Let's hope it turns out differently for Coach Bennett.

I have heard that a coach, maybe the QB/assistant head coach, from Iowa State is on the short list. Anyone have any info on him?

Well Steve Brickley is QB coach and not an assistant head coach, but this is probably who everyone is referring to. He has a lot of ties to Texas.
