If we're going to more run heavy blah blah, then it's even more important to develop the TE position. This is yet another reason why I prefer the Christian dude from Houston. He can coach TE. He can coach ST. He's a really good recruiter. That fills 3 important needs with one position. Seems like a no brainier.

Would be a great pick up.
Hale mentioned a new name - Derek Lewis. He is the TE coach at Florida. He is from New Orleans and went to UT. He is a Tim Brewster guy and I guess he and bob talk. I know Hale can be ****sh but he was the first to mention Montgomery so he has a good source I ****ume
Hale mentions Christian as the other guy he has heard about - I also this Jamie would be the best hire, but I would be ok with both. Lewis is from LA which i would love to get a recruiter that can at least try to recruit there
Would be a very solid hire if we can get him. It would also say a lot about the direction of the program to hire one guy away from Michigan and another guy away from Florida. The upside to Lewis (versus Christian) is that he might be a great lead recruiter in the southeast/Florida. Christian helps us out west, but we might not need another California guy on the staff.
I'd be happy with either guy.
Interesting article on Lewis sounds like he is pretty fiery coach

He caught that roll out p**** to beat Nebraska in the CCG i think
Most games, Lewis will gather the players in the locker room for a pregame speech. There are no other coaches in the room. The floor is his, and he fills it. This time, however, things got a little out of hand — literally. Overflowing with emotion and energy, Lewis put his fist through a whiteboard. The aftermath wasn’t pretty.
“I ended up slicing five of my tendons,” Lewis said.
Blood was flowing from his right hand and forearm. The team doctor wanted to take Lewis to the emergency room, but Lewis wasn’t having it.
“I said, ‘Hey man, tape the doggone thing up. Stitch it up. I’ll worry about that deal on Sunday.’ ”
Hire Lewis. Recruit the south. Win BCS NC. Repeat.
He and Mike will get along just fine.Most games, Lewis will gather the players in the locker room for a pregame speech. There are no other coaches in the room. The floor is his, and he fills it.

The old one just took the job at North Texas
Fresno connection
Damn, he just graduated a couple years ago. At this rate our next coach will be some damn high school kid. Lol
so are the top guys for the TE job still Lewis and Christian from Houston?
Trotter indicated on the radio (KREF) that we should keep an eye on Ryan Walters as a possibility.
Walters is not qualified for this position. Either Trotter misspoke or you misunderstood. This will be a ST/TE hire.
I'm sure Walters could coach the TE we don't use.

So Trotter believes a former defensive back GA who left three weeks ago for his first real coaching job is coming back to OU to be the TE/ST coach? It makes absolutely no sense in terms of the previous hires. This is all about getting a good recruiter. Walters may go on to great things, but he is not a candiate for this position.
Lewis, Christian, and Littrell are only candidates mentioned at this moment
I'm sure it would drive everyone crazy but I think a Chuck Long hire would be okay not necessarily to coach special teams but who knows...Not like he would have to call the plays either!
Maybe this has something to do with the coaching search?
Jake Trotter @ Jake_Trotter OU has moved back the start of spring practice three days.
