I'm gonna disagree. Wiesner has shown he can't hold up as the back over a college football season. Going somewhere else to be the feature back will only exacerbate that opinion. Staying and being in a rotation as 1B running back at Texas for 750k would have been a better bet for him.

Yeah because he is a head coach and head coaches are control freaks who want to deal with everything. He hires and fires the GM. Unlike in the pros where most GMs hire and fire the coach. Coaches want this control. You think Debore, or Kirby, or other coaches aren't talking on the phone with agents throwing out ridiculous asks for their client? Most NFL coaches would be doing it if their teams allowed them to.

He was 14th in the league behind 2 QBs in rushing yards is a start. Someone can post the advanced stats or whatever. De'Andre Moore was also considered a team leader and first guy in last guy out but you weren't having a fit about him. Oh yeah and he also had comparable yards receiving this year to Weisner rushing yards. The fact is, there are better and more durable backs out there for less money than Tre was asking. Tre should have jumped at the 750k from Texas, because I don't think he will find that out in the market for his services.

5th RB in the portal in 2025 was Fluff Boutwell. Got 600 yards for Mississippi state in a running back rotation. And I guaruntee you they didn't pay him anywhere close to $1million.

Part of that though is the difference in the setup of College and Pros. In the pros, theoretically at least, the GM hires the coach. In College the coach hires the GM. Also most coaches are control freaks, that's why you see Coaches in the NFL jump at a job that gives them GM/personell oversight roles. Most coaches want to have their hands in everything they can, especially player acquisition.

He was one of the worst rated backs in the SEC. He showed up for 2 games this year. His agent came in asking for $1 million. Just cause the agent is your buddy doesn't mean it wasn't stupid.

What excuse? He was asked about dealing with agents in the portal era and he answered it?

I didn't actually have any problem with his answer. He's addressing an issue with college football today that there is no control over who are agents and the issues it causes. I don't think Sark is open fielding calls from agents....but the same thing happens in the NFL when a players agent as for a unrealistic number from a team. Maybe I'm missing something there, but UT has no control over what an agent is going to ask for when talking to them about a player???

Wisner chose not to attend and meet with them. "Originally I was led to think Wisner was going to be present for that meeting, but come to find out the conversation was only between folks from Texas and Wisner's representatives."

Dude they met with him, then after they turned down his million asking price, he choose not to meet with them and just have his representatives meet with Texas.

It adds up to a certain degree. Wisner's ego got involved, he felt disrespected, asked for a big number, got rebuffed on that, didn't attend future meetings, heard the talk about bringing in a bell cow, and it all snowballed. I think Wisner and his team misread his position with the team and didn't like reality.

Reined in how? A salary cap? That just brings the bag game back. If they were paying players when it was illegal to do such they sure as heck aren't going to abide by a salary cap.

This is a bad decision for Weisner. I love what he's done for us, but he has shown he can't bear up as the feature back. Whole he knows the difference between injured and hurt, the nicks he picks up through the season limit his effectiveness. He would have been better served staying at Texas then going elsewhere.
