Just got swept out of Houston with Holgorsen and no P5 experience is not terribly exciting.
No connection to our current staff that I can see though he was at SMU with rumored WR hire Justin Stepp
Him and Stepp get us into Texas. He also has coached ILB and OLB which gives us some flexibility on the next hire.

This doesn't sound too bad
"McDaniel is a native of Bay City (Texas), which is 80 miles south of Houston, and he has extensive experience recruiting his home state of Texas. He helped Houston sign four-star linebacker Maurice Williams Jr. in the Class of 2023. Bret Bielema said on Wednesday that he is intrigued by recruiting Dallas more because there is a daily direct flight from Champaign to Dallas. Illinois recruited Dallas heavily on Bielema’s predecessor, Lovie Smith."
Jerry Jones confirmed Illini fan lol, donate some of your Jerry bucks to the NIL fund please sir.
Jerry probably isn't too cool/happy with BB considering how his alma mater (Arkansas) feels about him. So doubt we are getting too many Jerry Bucks. Though love us getting back into Texas.
Was his source the press release?
Well his tweet came out before the press release….
Illini hire Justin Stepp as wide receivers coach
Stepp has previous experience with Illini offensive coordinator Barry Lunney Jr., history of NFL Draft development

Just saying that the Gamecock fans in the comments are sad to lose Stepp...
...which might be good sign.
...which might be good sign.
Pardon my Whaaaa ? . . . I thought Houston was on the Gulf... so wouldn't a town 80 miles 'south' be under water ? ? and I'm glad coach B is interested in recruiting Dallas, but that's a long, LONG way from Houston...

The good news is in the summer you’re talking about only being 2% more humid than Houston.
My bad... I always thought that beach I was on was the Gulf of Mexico... I guess that was wrong...
I may be wrong, but you could be thinking of Galveston, Texas
So much talent in the state of Texas. We should have been recruiting Texas like we do Florida.

Yes, Bay City is SW of Houston. Also it's not 80 miles from it; more like 50 as the crow flies, and that's to downtown.
