[h1]Applewhite in running for job on the Longhorns staff[/h1]

AUSTIN -- Former Texas quarterback Major Applewhite, the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Alabama, is in the running for a job on the Longhorns staff.
Texas, which needs a running backs coach, cannot announce a hire until Wednesday night at the earliest because of job posting rules, school officials said.
Applewhite is one of several being considered for the job by Longhorns coach Mack Brown. The Austin American-Statesman reported Applewhite was on the Texas campus Tuesday to interview for the job, but a school official said Brown was out of town recruiting during the day.
Brown has already done some shuffling on his staff, hiring defensive coordinator Will Muschamp from Auburn and moving former coordinator Duane Akina back to his role as secondary coach.
The current vacancy was created when assistant coach Ken Rucker moved to the athletic department. Greg Davis, Brown's longtime offensive coordinator, remains in his job.
Applewhite, 29, has been a rising star in assistant coaching circles for several years, moving from a graduate assistant at Texas to the full-time staff at Syracuse and Rice and then to the Crimson Tide within the last four years.
Applewhite was the starting quarterback for Texas during most of 1998 and 1999, then split duty with Chris Simms in 2000 before being relegated to a backup role in 2001. He still holds a handful of Texas passing records, including career yards with 8,353.
I've heard he accepted the RB job, but I haven't seen it confirmed anywhere yet...Originally Posted by dreClark
So he accepted the job????
You think he's gonna be groomed for the HC job in the future????
-sidenote-
You know your getting old....When people you remeber vividly playing on ESPN, have been coaching at 3 different schools...
I just don't get how Pryor would not choose Michigan, with the offense RR runs. I mean he comes there he's gonna be the big man on campus from day 1.
Because he still has to visit Oregon on Feb 2-3
Pryor has now put LSU On his list. and nice job pryor getting a free bball game out of pittthats how you play your cards in recruiting
I read somewhere something along the lines of this: LSU's OC is Gary Crowton, who was an OC at Oregon last year. Crowton didn't do wonderswith Dennis Dixon and his development. I think somebody wrote it in a blog somewhere but I can't remember.
I also read somewhere that Tressell was saying he would revamp the offense to fit Pryor's skills? Basically It's a three-way with OSU, Michigan, andOregon. Maybe LSU gets in it, but at the moment that's what I'm seeing. Pryor has two visits left: Michigan and Oregon, so we'll see what happens.

I'm pretty sure it's mainly just UofM and osu.
ahhh countdown to the NFL Draft.
That's what I'm saying.
I'm ready to watch the combine 24 hours a day next month, too.
