Adding more experience and bright coaching minds to the staff has been a point of emphasis for Steve Sarkisian and Texas this offseason.
Sark hired former TCU headman Gary Patterson as the special assistant to the head coach. It appears Patterson was just the tip of the iceberg.
Texas is reportedly in talks to bring on former Duke head coach and quarterback guru David Cutcliffe to the staff in an off-field analyst role.
Brandon Huffman of 247Sports reported on Monday that Texas has hired former FAU wide receivers coach Joey Thomas to an analyst role. Thomas will flip to the defensive side of the ball where he will work with Texas’ defensive backs.
Former FAU WR coach Joey Thomas has joined the Texas staff as a defensive analyst. Reunites with his college DC Pete Kwiatkowski and has strong ties to Pacific Northwest where he was a HS HC, plus ties to Northern California, JCs and Florida @MikeRoach247

Thomas played cornerback at Montana State in his collegiate career under Texas defensive coordinator Pete Kwaitkowisk. He was drafted by the Green Bay Packers and went on to play seven years of professional ball.
