Tashard Choice Rumors?

Was he actually offered the job at USC? Seems like a ööööty move to accept a job and change your mind a week later and take another job.

It was announced by USC he accepted the job. The Texas job only became available in the last 48 hours sine the previous RB coach took the Temple job.

Did he sign a contract at USC? If so, did Texas cover any pay off. This says a lot about his reputation nationally. Key is the only other coach with any interest from other schools since the Collins regime began.
 
And some of you knuckleheads think his dream is to come back here. Sober up.

He bolted at the first opportunity. I don't blame him at all but I think everyone thinking he will return here are delusional.

He's never coming back.
 
Losing choice to usc and Lincoln Riley somehow made sense in my mind. Trendy, up and coming, legit. Go learn from LR and make money doing it. Come back in 5 years all the wiser as an OC.

Losing Choice to Sark feels dirty. Like he jumped ship from the Titanic to climb aboard the Lusitania. From one ööööty coach to another. I feel like I’ve been cheated on.

Hope the extra money was worth it. The usc move was tolerable because we could tell ourselves that Riley’s tutelage would somehow come back around to GT. But I’m 0% excited about the prospect of learning from Steve Sarkesian to then come back and lead GT in the future.

I doubt Choice's decisions are really at all influenced by the prospects of one day returning to Tech as a head coach. That's just a weird fan thing that probably bears little relation to reality.

RBs are featured more in Sark's offense than they are in Riley's, plus Texas is a state that TC knows well. Even if Sark is canned in a couple years, TC will have other opportunities so long as his unit is producing. Coaches (besides Urban Meyer) don't dismiss entire staffs on bad teams as eternal losers the way many fans do.

Lowkey this has been a little trashy from Choice. I don't think a serious person would take and leave a job the way he did.

Eh, he's a position coach who got a more enticing offer nine months before the season starts. Not really sure staying at USC if his heart wasn't in it would have made sense for anyone involved. People leave jobs shortly after accepting them in every industry, for a variety of sensible reasons. Doesn't make it "trashy."

Ultimately, all it does is force USC to refill a single opening. It's not like a head coach pulled out and took his whole staff, leaving them scrambling to find an entire new staff.
 
But he never actually coached at USC, so did UT really hire USCs RB coach?

Also, seems like bad form to accept a job then leave for a lateral before your first day.
