I'm going to assume this is for the special teams spot?

 

[gobigblue812]

If not, then somebody else must be going.

It looks like he's never coached ST or the S position. He's coached LB and been a DC.

 

[O-Ville_CAT_FAN]

They could move and shake the positions around. Not a lock that anyone is leaving or that he has to coach the ST.

 

[gobigblue812]

Do any of the current staff have ST experience? Who's coaching LBs now? Is it DJ Eliot? I can't remember.

 

[O-Ville_CAT_FAN]

Yes Eliot is DC/LB coach. He may very well be looking to hire Buh as ST coach but he could always hire him as LB coach making Eliot DC only.

 

[gobigblue812]

We would still need somebody to coach the S position if he coaches ST and LBs.

West Coast guy, seems like Stoops is wanting to expand his recruiting base to Cali if this is his hire. I'm assuming he has no recruiting ties in our normal recruiting areas. Interesting..

Then he could give Ansley the title of Secondary Coach. Between Stoops and Ansley I'm sure the safties would get coached up pretty well.

Googling his name brings up a lot of articles of him taking the linebackers job at Arkansas just about 3 weeks ago. Anyone know why that didn't happen?

Junior colleges and dare I say, Samoans?

 

[catrecruit]

Did he just get de-moted from a DC position??

Can confirm via source: former Cal DC Andy Buh is among "a bunch of guys" Mark Stoops has interviewed for staff vacancy, "likes him a lot."

[Beavis606]

Given their connections, I can't imagine WKYT would break this story unless it were going to happen. Only exception would be if it were like when Bromley went all Bromley and reported that Braxton Berrios had committed.

 

[southindycat]

This seems shrewd, especially if he has hit it off with the guy. We should have at least SOME staff connection to CA. It has served as well in the past, and can again, particularly at the JUCO level.

Cali JC's have been pretty good to us in the past, and I'll take some Samoans in a heart beat.

Looks like it from Cal website:

Andy Buh is in his second season on the Cal coaching staff in 2014. Buh
will be reassigned as a position coach after spending the first season
of his current Cal tenure as the defensive coordinator and linebackers
coach in 2013.

Did the job get reposted today or did it close out yesterday?
