  1. I didn’t bring up Urban to compare the two. Urban was 37 when he got the BG job. Hell, he’s only 4 years older than Traylor RIGHT NOW. I have no idea where the idea that Traylor is some young guy on the come-up is coming from. Some of y’all have been Traylor pilled by IT. I respect what he did at Gilmer and so far at UTSW. He’s a good coach. He’s closer to the end of his career than the beginning though, and he’s yet to prove that he can be an elite big program cfb coach.
  2. Yeah fair enough. Looks like the most recent one was in the 40s, but point taken. Utah was kind of a middling program not in a power conference, but they certainly had a hell of a lot more football tradition than UTSA
  3. Urban Meyer took a Utah program that had 1 ten win season in its 100 year history and went 10-2 and 12-0 in two years there. I don’t know how many top 50 teams he beat, but presumably a few as he beat several P5 teams (or whatever they were called then) during that run. That Traylor isn’t an Urban level slam dunk hire isn’t exactly a hot take. But it’s not unrealistic for a truly elite coach to break through from a small school.
  4. If it’s Elko, I wonder if he would take Kevin Johns with him. Would be a pretty meh hire, especially when he probably needs to nail the OC to have any big time success. He was with Kliff at Tech for a year and then Norvel at Memphis before he was hired at Duke. He also looks exactly like a penis.
  5. Doesn’t matter, got (insert new hireX that Looch is in charge of pumping as the true savior of aggy football here).
  6. I’ll have you know that BurntOrange&White has way more than 15,000 posts.
  7. Got the wins we needed while being shitty enough that only our dumbest fans could make it a QB controversy. No complaints here.
  8. Yeah, it takes time at least. Kiffin had to build his reputation back up in a group of 5 job before getting Miss. Muschamp quickly got another SEC gig, but it was a step down from Florida to South Carolina. Had he been successful at SC, he would have probably gotten big time opportunities again. But like you said, if he was a good enough HC coach to kill it there he probably wouldn’t have failed at Florida in the first place.
  9. How often do situations that you are describing even come up though? You are either talking about a blue blood program that is rolling but loses their coach to scandal/the NFL or taking over for Saban after he retires. If he actually got an offer from them, I don’t see how Schumann could turn the Ags down on the hope that he would be a candidate for a unicorn job opening up in the next few years. Without even a guarantee that he would be the hire if one of them even opens up.
  10. Credit to Looch, he’s was right about the bolded part.
  11. Yeah, if that’s the level they aren’t going to take a current P5 head coach (Leipold/Elko). They’ll be looking at P5 coordinators and young group of 5 HC on the come up.
  12. There is no fucking way that Sankey is going to stick his neck out and basically accuse another conference of fixing their games. As blatant as it has seemed this season, there is no benefit to him or the SEC to kick that anthill. Do you really think the SEC loses any material value over the long-term if Texas (or OU) don’t make the CCG?
  13. I’m not certain on the rules there, but does he have to re-establish in bounds before he can touch it or before he can make a legal catch? If the latter, he sort of does re-establish himself in-play due to the bobble. Half the time time in this fucking conference it seems pretty clear that the refs also don’t completely understand the rules, so if they did fuck up that call I wouldn’t be shocked.
  14. Haha, he is just relentless with his trolling of Jimbo. You love to see it.
  15. This entire post is a straw-man, from the weird coin flip analogy that has zero relation to the analytics of going for a touchdown vs. attempting a fg to the fact that the two decisions being discussed weren’t that late in the game, both of the drives in question started in the 3rd quarter.
  16. So that’s not at all how that works. It’s so weird how posters just add 9 points in FGs to the point total without thinking that the context of those plays have an affect on how the game plays out. Part of the calculation of going for it inside the five is if you don’t get it, as long as your defense holds you immediately have great field position, almost back in FG range. After Sanders got stopped at the 1, defense forced a three and out and we started the next drive on the 49. It took us 4 plays to get back in the RZ. Shitty red zone offense popped up again but they started their next drive backed up again, threw a pick and then we finally got the touchdown. Sark does some dumb shit, but not settling for FGs from inside the 3 really isn’t one of them. “Take the points” is an antiquated take for the olds who don’t believe in math
  17. I thought they picked up the first down watching live, but for all the bitching from Houston (and Aggies for some reason), there hasn’t been a single definitive angle or screen grab I’ve seen that proves that the spot was bad. Because it doesn’t exist, otherwise it would be everywhere.
  18. Not going to happen, but it would pretty sweet if we could get his brother to tag along as Sanders’ replacement next year.
  19. They were three point underdogs because they suck. They lost by 7 because they suck. They owe their coach almost 80 million dollars and he’s peaked at suck. This meltdown is pretty rational as far as aggy meltdowns go.
  20. He played terribly in the first quarter, but he also did play well enough to win the game. His last real drive ended in points and the lead. The defense fucked us.
  21. Rece Davis’ voice sounds like absolute shit. Dude is struggling.
  22. Seems like a lot was made out of Red running scout team qb the week of the Bama game. Did Sark mention him doing that this week at the presser today?
