Not to pat myself on the back, but imma pat myself on the back:

FWIW, my friend in the AD who gave me all the Chavis info has said that from May to July Sumlin, Christensen and Spav have met personally with multiple offensive coaches from the Pac-12, ACC and American conference to swap ideas and Chavis has been in on dozens of offensive meetings to point out ways teams slowed our offense.

Two names he specifically threw out regarding meetings were Rich Rodriguez and Bobby Petrino. RR apparently gave them everything he had on Arizona State.

Foster was my choice for DC, and I though he was coming.

But on a scale of 1-10, the Chavis hire was a

Bobby Petrino is an arse, but that man knows him some offensive football. He's probably going to be glued to the set when we play Arky.

I laugh at all the people who don't think coaches share info.

Yeah, coaches talk for sure. And I think they are more interwoven that a lot of people realize. Coaches hop jobs to move up the ladder and to get to this level, they cross paths in a million different ways not even counting conferences and the like.

For instance, just vs ASU:

- Sumlin and Graham faced off three times in CUSA when Graham was at Tulsa and Sumlin obviously at Houston. But they also squared off in 2007 when Sumlin was the co-OC at OU.
- in 2008, Jake Spavital was an OCQ for Graham and prepped Tulsa to play Sumlin's UH (the OC on that Tulsa team was Gus Malzahn btw)
- in 2009, Spav was a GA for UH and prepped them to face Graham's Tulsa
- in 2010, Spav was a GA for OSU when they played Graham's Tulsa
- in 2011, Spav was QB coach for WVU who played Graham's Pitt
- last year, Christensen was OC for Utah as they took on ASU. I don't know but I certainly wouldn't be surprised if they squared off somewhere during his Mizzou tenure
- this past off-season, Graham hired Shawn Slocum, son of RC and former A&M assistant who worked with Sumlin at A&M during his first tenure

The coaches in this game have a host of history and wealth of knowledge on each other. But they've also worked with, are friends with, talk frequently with, other coaches that have coached both with and against each other. It's going to be really tough to surprise each other. And this isn't even an inbred conference game
