    Not listening to outside criticism 

    At (whatever school) we had all American and we could play every play. 

  2. Harrell is the OC in name but is littrell the play caller like we see so often? 

    The coaching trajectory has been swift for him,  if he had air raid concepts learned from being a qb in it and mix in littrells acumen from working with at UNC, IU, and UofA, he would be nice to have here but I know it won't go as well as we would hope. Because we can't have nice things and all.

  3. It will be tough to keep booming them like this in non Denver stadiums but he will be hitting them with precision inside the 20 for years. 

    Wonder what he thought when he finally got a real special teams coach?

    i hate kendall briles but dude is a badass OC

    It's a collaborative effort in playcalling. Nothing to do with Briles. Everyone calls plays.

    cdc start texting fuentes.

    Then when we hire him it will be that he never won ACC and lost to unranked teams a, b, c. Will be criticized for bringing all his  Vt coaches with no texas ties.  He then will get heat for doing the hook em incorrectly (hang loose man).  He then fails to recruit a top 5 transition class and we have decommits going to aggy. Is paid 7 million a year and never won a conference championship. 

     

    Did I do that right?

    Wake me up when Mensa fucks up a coin flip. I see progress.

    Charlie never had a delay of game to start a game, much less a season. New knee pad rules be damned.

    But the 3 straight false starts to begin a game aren't very good either.

    My dad is an Ex and has lived in TN for forty years and doesn't do message boards, while I live in Houston and do, and so am better tuned in than he is. He asked me a week or so what the skinny was on this year's team and I told him I thought we would be a little bit worse on D (thank to losing our best players at every level of the D) and a little better on O, thanks to a somewhat improved O-line.

    My O/U on wins was 8, and I kinda thought I was being a little pessimistic because of my bias against Herman. I didn't like the guy when he was at UH -- he seemed to me like a guy who rode a good QB and a fluke recruit (Oliver) to a rep far beyond his actual results. I am pretty sure his career record without Greg Ward was 1-2...I pointed that out on the old board and dudes like Rex Kramer shouted me down. The hard-on for this guy was a little bit inexplicable to me -- UH's win over FSU came against a backup QB, and honest, smart Sooners (there are a few) said that it was less Herman's genius than them just laying an egg in that game, and I also pointed out that nobody really knew what kind of recruiter he was, because he'd never really done shit with any of his own recruits, except for the fluke that was Oliver. 

    So I've been biased against him since forever. I stayed in Charlie's corner until Kansas. I still don't think it made logical sense to fire him after that debacle, but I also understand that a UT coach simply can't survive after losing a game like that. You have to just wash your hands of him and move on. My ideal solution was to promote Jeff Traylor to HC and retain Maddox / Gilbert so that there would be some continuity, and we would have three native Texans running the team / O, but I was told that Traylor, in spite of his impeccably legendary status in the most important recruiting region of our state, and his demonstrable success in college, was not our standard. I think because he's kinda cheesy-looking. Seriously. I honestly believe that people don't think Traylor can be an elite HC because you think he looks like a pastor at a Tyler megachurch rather than any results he has proven up in HS or college. And now he is recruiting against us at Arkansas, poaching more recruits out of ETX we can scarce afford to lose. Arkansas had lost that pipeline and now has it back. Great job there fellas. 

    Nope, the hard-on for Herman sprouted by the end of year two of Charlie's ill-fated regime and would rage on all through year three, despite Herman's inexplicable defeats to Navy and SMU. Every excuse was made for Herman. Bad weather and injuries doomed him at Navy. Seriously. Herman himself furnished bulletin board material prior to the SMU game and then got fucking owned, but no, he was still The Answer. Here's your Golden Boy, when still at UH, Hermanoids:

    Pretty good smack but not if you follow it up by losing to that private school up in Dallas 38-16. And springboard that school's coach to a historic rival, where he hires Jeff Traylor, and they are now again ransacking East Texas for recruits.

    Yeah and now I have to back and tell my dad that 8 was a wildly optimistic number for wins. He knows that already. We should get 12.5 percent of the way there next weekend, maybe, so at least there is that. 

     

    Don't want to piss in your cheerios but Traylor didn't prove a single thing as an on field coach here.  Special teams? That was a shit show. TE? He never had any to show any progress. His calling card is east texas recruiting and he was just a couple of years removed from corching texas high school football.  I know people love to romanticize traylor here but he wasn't a good coach. He might be now.  He might have been good here later.  But when he was here he didn't show much outside helping with norvell.

    Who did Ingram piss off so as to not play in the second half?

    I don't know, but Stan Drayton is more than RB coach, he's also "running game coordinator" as well as "associate head coach". I'm sure he's the one who decides which RB is in the game, yet he never speaks to the media.

    He probably didn't hug a big guy after scoring and was punished.
