Texas Longhorns are in disarray because they could lose a significant player.
It looks like the Texas Longhorns could lose another key assistant to a head coaching position.
When assistant coaches are being considered for head coaching positions, it is one of the best indicators that your program is succeeding.
Numerous head coaches have been produced by Nick Saban, and Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian has also seen a few staff members advance to more important positions.
As Kyle Flood’s name was mentioned as a candidate for the Boston College head coaching position in a CBS report on Thursday night, it became apparent that he might let go of another coach to take on a head coaching position.
The decision by Boston College head coach Jeff Hafley to join the Green Bay Packers as defensive coordinator came as a startling revelation. According to reports, he and other prominent coaches like Nick Saban are not happy with the direction that college football is taking thanks to NIL and the transfer portal.
A person close to Hafley told ESPN, “He wants to go coach football again in a league that is all about football.” “Coaching in college is now about transfers, NIL, fundraising, and building your own team. It is no longer possible to coach football.”
Regarding Flood, this would be his second attempt at leading the team as head coach if he were hired. From 2012 to 2015, he led Rutgers to a 26–22 record as head coach, but he was eventually dismissed. It would be a huge blow for the Longhorns if Flood, who also serves as their offensive line coach and possibly their top recruiter, were to leave. Jeff Choate, who is currently the head coach at Nevada, was already lost.
In addition to spearheading the recruitment of four-star players Neto Umeozulu, Sydir Mitchell, and Cameron Williams, Flood is recognized as the main source of recruiters for five-star players DJ Campbell, Brandon Baker, and Kelvin Banks. Since Flood played collegiate football at Iona and is originally from Queens, New York, he is well-versed in the Northeast. He worked as a staff member at Rutgers from 2005 to 2015, so he also spent a lot of time there.
