Just an idea. Was OC and offensive analyst at Alabama recently and is now OC at South Alabama. Lots of Texas ties which would help recruiting.
First-year offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Major Applewhite comes to the South Alabama football program with experience as a head coach at the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision level as well as multiple years working as a coordinator including in a Power Five league. In addition to helping lead his programs to 15 postseason bowl games since entering the coaching profession, he also guided Texas to four straight bowl appearances while posting a 22-8 record as a starting quarterback for the Longhorns.
For the last two seasons, Applewhite served as an offensive analyst at Alabama, where he was part of a staff that helped lead the Crimson Tide to a 13-0 record, the Southeastern Conference championship and the College Football Playoff national title. Alabama’s offense ended the year ranked first in the country in completion percentage (76.2%), team passing efficiency (198.99 rating), third-down conversion percentage (58.9%) and total first downs (365), while finishing among the top five nationally in scoring offense (48.5 ppg, 2nd), passing offense (358.2 ypg, 3rd) and total offense (541.6 ypg, 4th). Alabama scored more than 13 points in all 13 outings, highlighted by seven contest posting more than 50 including accomplishing the feat in both the SEC and national championship games.
