Thought I read that some of the assistants had their deals structured similar to the way Strong had his contract. So we kept the pool small in the first couple of years and Texas picks up a portion. 

Would explain the lower pool early in the contract.

Vance Bedford Defensive Coordinator/Secondary -----Horns demote DC Vance Bedford
Brick Haley Defensive Line------Missouri hires DL coach Brick Haley
Brian Jean-Mary Linebackers/Recruiting Coordinator----ESPN names Texas coach as top 20 recruiter
Jay Norvell Wide Receivers---head coach of the Nevada Wolf Pack
Tommie Robinson Running Backs --Tommie Robinson Returns To USC As Running Backs Coach
Jeff Traylor Tight Ends/Special Teams Coordinator named one of 2017's top early recruiters
Chris Vaughn Defensive Backs---Strong fired him
Shawn Watson Assistant Head Coach for Offense/Quarterbacks---hired by Indiana
Joe Wickline Offensive Coordinator/Offensive Line --------Hired by West Virginia

 

------------------------

Basically, his former coaches at Texas are all gone. Only Brian Jean-Mary and Jeff Traylor are available.

He demoted Vance Bedford and fired Chris Vaughn. I don't see him bringing these two to USF.

 

 

That is not the 2016 Texas staff.  They brought in Sterlin Gilbert and Matt Mattox for QB/OC and OL respectively.  Clay Jennings was the DB coach this year and has already been hired at Houston.  The WR and RB coaches were different but not sure what their availability right now is.

I'd like to retain Hiller and Weist if possible.  They've both done a fantastic job with their position groups.

They are hired already and they are timing the announcement.  That is my guess.
