Hopefully he is better than the other Stanford leftovers we have hired (e.g. Pete Alamar).

FTR, he was "relieved of (his) coaching duties" at Stanford in December 2022, shortly after Troy Taylor was named the Cardinal's Director of Football.

Not surprising as new head coaches typically bring in their own guys, especially offensive-minded head coaches with innovative offensive schemes as Taylor had coming in. Note-- he was not at Stanford while Bloomgren was there. And his stint at UT was both as receiver coach and recruiting coordinator under Mac Brown.
