Texas will hire Mark Hagen, Indiana's assistant defensive coordinator and defensive line coach, as the final member of Tom Herman's revamped coaching staff, a source close to the situation told Horns247.com.

Hagen, who has been recognized as a high-end recruiter, will join current Texas assistant Oscar Giles in coaching the defensive line, the source said.

Before returning to Indiana in 2016 for his second stint as a Hoosiers' assistant coach, Hagen coached at Texas A&M under Kevin Sumlin and served as defensive coordinator in the Aggies' 2014 AutoZone Liberty Bowl victory over West Virginia.

Defensive line coach? Hmmm... good thing thing defense isn’t needed in the Big 12.

Sparty has its man!

This guy coached the Bears' defense a few years back and they were awful -- historically bad, at least for Chicago. Bears fans wanted to hide strap his a$$ to a pine rail and send him out the South Shore line. ... Guess he has worked his way back into respectability since then.

This Mel Tucker drama is equally entertaining and depressing. Colorado fans are livid and in full meltdown mode. Tucker tweeted just a few days ago that he  turned down MSU and was sticking with CU, was making public appearances about it, and even had a donor event lined up. Then out of nowhere he flips on his word and signs with Sparty.

The way this played out really highlights the disadvantage many non-Big10/SEC schools have, even if they are Power 5.

The thread on the Colorado board is worth a read. The new breaks on page 23. And yes, they tracked flight statuses. https://www.allbuffs.com/threads/mel-tucker-leaves-cu-for-michigan-state.143217/page-23

Tucker is entering the cesspool that is MSU athletics.  He is going to have to be transparent and overt about cleaning up the mess.

He’s entering the cesspool in a very grimy, MSU way too though. He’ll fit right in (and in my opinion, it will not go well).

Am I the only one who gets really, really annoyed by this crap from the BTN? ... Maybe so, but I feel like ranting, so I'm gonna rant. Johnny Rodgers NEVER PLAYED IN THE BIG TEN! And the BTN always does this. It's had TV shows reliving Nebraska's 1994 and 95 national championships -- that had nothing to do with our conference. It had a show naming John Cappeletti one of the conference's best running backs of the 1970s. Cappeletti was NEVER a Big Ten running back. It actually named Ndamukong Suh as the conference's best defensive lineman from 2000-10. He didn't play one single down in the B1G. It had a show looking back on Rutgers' 1976 basketball season (anybody remember who the undefeated NCAA champ was that year?) ... Let's stick with the time Penn State, Nebraska, Rutgers and Maryland actually were in the league. What they've done previously is somebody else's history -- not the B1G's. ... OK, rant over.

Either the people in charge of this stuff are very young, or they're running out of programming material. Maybe both. 

 

But it doesn't surprise me that the Big Ten would try to claim Nebraska's accomplishments as a Big 12 school. This league will stop at nothing to try and claim superiority over other conferences.
