Assistant Head Coach. Sounds good. But what it really comes down to.... Charlie didn't want Watson running the offense and calling plays.

Definitely. Charlie actually kept only a few from his Louisville staff. And both coordinators are from elsewhere.
Did someone suggest that in this thread? Wasn't me.
obviously the highest profile hire is going to be your OC, because he's calling plays.
Heirarchy on a staff is another thing in how jobs are delegated. Titles, as we know, are also a nice way of justifying salaries as well.
I root for all former Huskers to have success.
Be it Solich at Ohio, Watson at UL/UT or Callahan wherever he is...they were all individuals who gave their all for Nebraska, and I see no reason not to wish them well elsewhere.
It's a nice label.
Agreed. It's a nice label, it sounds good, but it likely doesn't mean much more than that.
Watson went from OC at UL to QB coach at Texas. Not an upgrade in position coach (downgrade), but likely an upgrade in pay.
Looks like Wats made about $500k as an OC at Louisville.
Major Applewhite was making over $600k, granted he was also labeled as a co-OC and had been at Texas for 7 or 8 years.
Can I just mention again how mindboggling it is that Louisville dropped $4.5m on Petrino? I hope that it has a clawback for when he's fired/leaves.

At least Wats won't have to pay state income tax.
And he'll be lucky enough to live in what is unarguably the best state in America.
I am applying for jobs all over the country and I cringe every time I hit send to something with a TX in the address. Cringe, and I don't feel good about myself.
Won't argue with that. My mom lived in Texas for seven years and loved it. I never got stationed there but made a number of TDYs to Texas. Love San Antonio and Fort Worth. My sis loves Houston.
You're right... no one could possibly make a compelling argument that Texas is the best in America.
Vance Bedford, Strong's defensive coordinator at Louisville, will fill the same role at UT.

Thank you for the correction. My bad. I was getting live info (some premature) on Austin sports radio this afternoon driving home from work.
Driving home in Austin can be a distracting paradise.
