    We just fired a former Tech QB. I'm not sure having Tech ties was as an important a factor in this job search as you seem to think.
  2. Dirk X West
    OK. I'll wait and see what happens on the field.
  3. Dirk X West
    I guess the mood of Tech fans now is I want to "Rock with You" whilst curled up in the fetal position.
  4. Dirk X West
    That's the word on the street. I'm pretty sure having a high scoring spread offense was one of the basic requirements for anyone Hocutt would interview.
  5. Dirk X West
    I guess this is what it's like to be an aggy, and I don't say that because I'm convinced Wells would be a bad hire.
  6. Dirk X West
    Already covered, but anyway, Hellraiser97 has implicitly defined McWilliams's short tenure at Tech as sub-"really successful".
  7. Dirk X West
    There's some truth to this, but Kliff was at Tech for six years and had a losing record 4 out of the last 5. He ran out of excuses.
  8. Dirk X West
    David McWilliams was 7-4 in his one year at Tech, so I guess he's not an example of a good coach that got hired away?
  9. Dirk X West
    Right, he's the one, and that was, what?, 32 years ago? He was also a former UT player.

    It's not that big of a rebuild, though. The big question is whether Alan Bowman can get healthy and stay healthy. If he can, we'll have a winning team. The overall talent level is not that bad.
  11. Dirk X West
    Yeah, I think people were excited by the prospect, but I can't say I've come across anyone who really thought it was going to happen.
  12. Dirk X West
    That's not what I asked. Can you name a coach Tech wanted to keep that a "bigger" program hired away? Considering how often people say "if he's successful at Tech, he'll be gone in a few years anyway", you would think it must've happened before.
  13. Dirk X West
    Please cite the last time a good coach was hired away from Tech.

    People weren't particularly hyped about Leach when he started, and even after his first year (where we won 7 games and lost our bowl game), it was "that wasn't any better than Spike, and at least Spike was funny". Wells could certainly crash and burn, but if he wins games, it'll all be forgotten, as always with hires like this. I predict a lot of whining between now and the start of Big 12 play next year, though.
  15. Dirk X West
    Not to downplay what happened with Leach, but which other successful coaches has Tech pushed out?
  16. Dirk X West
    We'll have to wait and see if this happens, but he's the type of coach I thought we should be looking at, i.e. and up and coming mid major coach. A lot of Tech fans will be pissed, as he's not a big name, but that's how it usually goes with college football fans.

    Yep, a lot of these stories popping up all of the sudden: https://sportsday.dallasnews.com/college-sports/collegesports/2018/11/28/report-utah-states-matt-wells-frontrunnerto-replace-kliff-kingsbury-texas-tech
  18. Dirk X West
    I know, it's confusing.
  19. Dirk X West
    Who the fuck is Bum Chillups, and why do you consider him a credible source?
  20. Dirk X West
    Tubby Smith rebuilt our men's basketball program from scratch. How was he a bad hire?
  21. Dirk X West
    Two coaching hires, one of which was made by people not involved with the current one, doesn't really constitute a trend in my mind.
  22. Dirk X West
    Assuming butt is also an RP poster, there are only a handful of possibilities, as the number of people in the world, not just limiting it to message board users, who still defend Tuberville as a Tech coach has to be down to single digits at this point. Anyhow, hover over the profile pic and you'll get a pop up with "Ignore User" as an option at the bottom.
  23. Dirk X West
    Oh, it's Rumypal? I'm familiar with his work. He's a jackass.
  24. Dirk X West
    I think it's something like, "I'm somewhat interested, but if I don't take the job, I want everyone to think I was never interested."

    Who's Honeycutt?
