Garret McGuire Hired as Wide Receivers Coach

Was on the team at Baylor when Rhule was there but barely played as a back-up quarterback.

Has been at Carolina for the last two years as a "Coaching Assistant" then an "Offensive Assistant."

Pretty light on experience.  But was a three-time Academic All-Big 12.  And is a Texas native so hopefully can recruit there.

 
Son of Texas Tech Head Coach Joey McGuire, who Rhule hired out of the high school ranks when he was at Baylor.

So there are definitely some Texas high school connections.

 
Garrett McGuire also happens to be Joey McGuire’s (Texas Tech HC, former Rhule assistant) son.

EDIT: Mavric beat me to it, so my post can be deleted.

I have a difficult time believing Rhule made a good faith effort to get the best possible WR coach, and it just happened to be this child. Biggest assistant $$ pool in program history. Absolutely baffling hire.

Gotta think it was Mickey's until he created his legal troubles. This guy's the backup and it comes back to what Rhule said, he'd rather work with someone that fits with him over an all star name.

I highly doubt this guy was his first choice.

Rhule said he was going to have a young staff. He has proven to have a good eye for young coaches in the past. Would have liked to have someone with more experience, but just going to trust Rhule on this one.

Pretty much this. 
 

We’ll know in a year or two if this works or not.

I would have to think that this is what it comes down to. We will have to keep our fingers crossed that he could learn in the fly. I am hoping the young coaching staff is able to connect with recruits
