  1. Don't kill the messenger. But yes, Texas is looking to pay for resolution because Beatty is wanted on staff.
  2. Haha, all that with no glory for himself...that's not Mensa-level.
  3. Reverse psychology...he's going to make it so he HAS to call plays and becomes our savior. Now that's some Mensa level shit right there.
  4. I haven't talked to anyone in a few days, so not a clue on how the Ash hire has been received. Mensa and control of the offense is a fact. In public he keeps saying he wants someone to take over, but privately that's not the case. Offense is his baby. At this point he'd be better off owning up to it and just taking over. Herman wants Beatty on staff officially, but that can't happen until the Kansas stuff is done. One way to do that is just pay Kansas the money and cut the ties, making Beatty available. Texas is looking into that option. I've heard nothing on Major, that was just speculation. But I think that's where we are trending with this. He is available, he runs Tom's offense, has worked with Tom, etc. It'll be another comfort hire that'll give ol' Mensa the warm fuzzies, while not threatening his "smartest person in the room" schtick since he's already worked with Major before. I will add, personally, that I also don't like his current attitude on the recruiting trail. I mean seriously, what the f*** with telling recruits not to worry about position coaches because they likely won't be there for a players entire career. Yes, that may be true, but I would think trying to make a recruit feel at ease about that would be because those coaches are moving onward and upward. Our current situation with coaches does not trend that direction. Seriously, Mensa Tom is left holding his d*** in one hand, and in the other he's selling a player to a program where position coaches are just pawns, more or less. I am truly baffled by this guy.
  5. Mensa Tom would not give up control of the offense, so Harrell said no thanks. It's really that simple. Applewhite will be the OC...he's the perfect mouthpiece for Tom. At this point I'm wondering if Applewhite is trying to set a record for the number of times someone can be hired/fired/let go from one university. Beatty is very much in play for a coaching position, Texas is working on just buying out his Kansas contract.
  6. I can say that there is a growing frustration in the locker room for this same reason. There has been no communication about what's going on with the coaches, and players are realizing that they are playing a bowl game for a bunch of coaches who probably won't be here come January. Morale is in the shitter, to say the least.
  7. Defensive position coaches were given very little opportunity to teach technique...most of the defensive time in practice was spent working on the 847 different blitzes we tried to run. Position coaches repeatedly approached Orlando asking for teaching time, and he said no. Apparently he's equal the egomaniac Herman is, if not worse. During games, our defensive scheme was so complex that players spent too much time thinking about where they are supposed to be. Thinking athletes are rarely successful. ***These are all facts, not speculation***
  8. And maybe that's the problem.
  9. **Cough** TEXAS **Cough** I still think there's a good chance he's our version of "Lincoln Riley" if hired. Win or Lose, Herman will outwear his welcome at Texas (he's probably already there), and if Harrell has the offense clicking, he could be in prime position to be elevated.
  10. Torn labia
  11. Warehime and the East Texas plumbing aren't a good mix.
  12. Yep, and I'd lay money it's Texas. Harrell will be liked by all (good ole boy Texas demeanor) and Herman will continue to be despised by most cause he's a dick.
  13. I have a gut feeling that if we land Harrell, we will be getting our own version of Lincoln Riley. When Herman inevitably gets shitcanned, Harrell takes over and away we go. To me I'm just getting those vibes the more I read about the guy.

  15. Sadly, one of those is not like the others.
  16. Who is Witten yelling at? And about what?
  17. I was close, I said it would be Highland Parks number + 1.
  18. Ironically, I just got a text from my inside person (same one that gave me the earful in October about the Eagles issue). Beck and Warehime will stay on through the bowl, but then are out. New hires will be made by the new OC. One of the new hires could be someone already on staff, but that's pending other issues getting worked out first. Hand and Drayton are safe. I asked about the defensive side, and there has been no word on Giles, Washington or Naivar long term. With these they are probably going to be interviewing for their jobs with the new DC.
  19. We have to retain a few coaches who can help get us to the bowl game. I think a second purge will be done right after the bowl game. The only person left that is shocking to me right now is Warehime. Seriously, WTF
  20. If it's Ash (or even if it's not), I hope BC is out on the trail starting at the houses of Broughton, Collins, Fillinger, Dorbah and Umanmeinlen to start the conversation about moving to a 4-3.
  21. I made these two posts on Oct. 28th in the Fire Herman thread: 100% matches up with Anwar's Twitter post earlier today about a certain coach.
  22. I also hope Samples is Southbound 35 right about now, with his best interviewing suit on and ready to go.
  23. My guess is Beck will be the TE coach and remain as one of our big recruiters. I'm wondering why we haven't heard of Warehime's fate yet...WTF is that spare still doing here (as of this minute)?
  24. Which podcast is this? (name)
