You guy’s that are familiar with me going back to Scout.com are aware that I always single out Asst. Coaches at the end of each season that could be upgraded.
Knowing this is the year of COVID which equates to no changes I still have a candidate to keep a eye on in the future:
Sherrone Moore former (alma mata) Oklahoma OG and now Michigan TE coach.
Current Salary: $225,000 #7 Recruiter in the nation (#2 in Big 10) He is absolutely killing it recruiting nationally
John Cooper former (alma mata) Oklahoma OG and now Arkansas TE coach.
Current Salary: $300,000 #312 Recruiter in the nation (#79 in the SEC) Credit for Dax Courtney & Erin Outley
The key for Cooper is his experience in this offense. He’s the coach Briles wants in the booth. Gotta have eyes in sky that mesh with the OC. I am so impressed with what Cooper did with Blake Kern.
We talk about the depth chart (and did a lot late in the season) at LB and DB…and vs LSU, the DL…but no one had a shorter scholarship list than Cooper at TE. He is starting from scratch. It will be fun to watch him build a room of TEs.
