Usually the Assistant Head coach is a non-coordinator coach and I think it is presumed that Shane is the heir to the DC once Wally decides to retire. The Assistant Head Coach title I think will be used to entice K or Sturdy to stick around if they are not the new OC. Or it could be used to hire a higher profile outside non-OC coach to come here with K or Sturdy being the OC.
I could be wrong. The only thing I ever recall was CW saying things he'd heard second hand, and I don't remember him even saying who had actually heard that from Mangino. Like I said, it does seem unlikely.
He assists the Head Coach
.Seriously I think it is more a title (and higher pay) than just a position coach and would probably be acting head coach if the head coach had some illness or something like that (See Kill at Minn.) in which he couldn't actively coach for a short time.
The only obvious conclusion from the long wait is that our new OC is still coaching. This can only mean our new OC is Gus Malzahn or Jimbo Fisher. Color me unimpressed.
If our new OC is on any of the following coaching staffs: Oklahoma State, Mizzou, Clemson, Ohio State (Herman comes back? LOLOLOLO JK), Florida State, or Auburn, it's going to be a position coach getting a huge promotion (unlikely)
Otherwise according to your theory, he is on the Vandy, Houston, Ark State, or Ball State staffs...
Vandy's is an OC/RB coach, has experience coaching QBs -> possibly
Houston's OC went to TCU so NO
Arkansas State just hired a new HC and OC so NO
Ball State: just promoted a new OC so NO
My guess: is that the OC is Coach K. They are waiting to hire the other position coaches... Some may no longer be employed by a team and are recruiting during the dead period.
No. I assume we are getting either Malzahn or Jimbo. Not someone from their staff. One of those two will be our OC. What other explanation could there be?

Does it involve anything extra, or is it like being Assistant to the Head Coach?
What, these guys got fired?
There are dozens of other explanations for the long wait for the OC hire announcement.
Pick any one besides the one you're offering.:wacko:

So you mean it won't be Malzahn? He good.
So with Texas losing most of there coaches due to the coaching change, really wonder what the chance would be that we could get a name like Major Applewhite.
