Welcome coach!

Ryan Bartow also switches his crystal ball pick with Elijah Blades to NU.

I would expect Williams to go after Thomas Graham and Greg Johnson (#1 athlete) very hard as well from UA's class. (And hopefully Darnay Holmes).

That's three elite corners folks, and a guy who could play any number of positions for us.

So how does his age and experience compare to the younger assistant coaches on our staff? (Bray and... ummm, guess no one else is that young on our staff)

Will he be paid based off those two things?

His impact should be huge as he is regarded as a top ten recruiter.

Kinda awesome to think about the possibilities. I hadn't thought of the DB numbers this year. Holmes, Blades, and Graham all play corner and Tilford is a RB. I suppose Johnson could be the fifth receiver or even a safety.

We probably won't end up with all those guys, but its sure fun to speculate how to get them all on the roster.

Although its not officially announced, the number that has been floating around is 400K.

Also, I'm curious to hear whether they will announce his hiring for a specific position when they make the official announcement or if they will just announce his hiring with details to come...

Heard on Husker Radio last night talking about it and which other coach is moving positions or leaving for a better opportunity.

Rumor I saw last night was passing defense coordinator (which ALSO puts Banker on notice) and safeties coach.....but they may not make the details official until they sort out another possible change and the potential the NCAA allows teams to add another member to the coaching staff.

What's going to happen with Tavita? All the "experts" were talking that HE was the man in recruiting and next coach. Can they find a place on staff for him?

NCAA will be adding an assistant spot in April. I would expect TT to get that spot.

I don't know why experts is in quotes. You have to get Williams now and let tavita be the tenth coach in spring. Also as clouse noted there may still be staff moves to come

wow...just read this:

Williams was at San Jose State, where he coached the No. 1 and No. 2 passing defenses in the 2014 and 2015 seasons respectively
Arizona also has one of the worst passing defenses this season.
