  1. This is where most people should be at. Like said above, it's certainly possible he ends up being awesome but it's all based on hope, which is fine as a fan. The only thing getting mocked around here is people attempting to act like his résumé is great. On one hand, if A&M had hired this guy we would have laughed as their writers tried to fluff him as a great hire. On the other hand they fuck up everything so maybe the current trajectory of the Texas program helps this guy be what we hope he can be. Like I said, it's all fan hope. Now he has to prove himself.
  2. Jesus it's amazing how many people fall for shit if you just say it often enough. Biden is senile! Trump is a genius!
  3. The internet did not have an image that satisfactorily represented my level of condescending disappointment.
  4. Financial and operational mismanagement? He should have applied to Ohio State, I hear they love that type.
  5. Grad assistant and high school assistant is good, NFL assistant isn't good. Got it. This is one of the dumbest posts in this forum in the last week and that's saying A LOT.
  6. As someone who used to design his own very basic web pages to display ratings pages, I'm already triggered.
  7. He gave lip service to Saban being allowed say in everything and always being welcome so I was wondering if this is ego and his way of trying to show that "when I win here it will be my success not Saban's" or something ridiculous like that.
  8. This is outstanding. I'm not sure which of the 3 references most clearly reveals you're old and it had to be intentional.
  9. For decades the cheaters would constantly claim "Texas pays players just like everyone else." Don't get me wrong, I was vocal about how Texas didn't handle it correctly. They should have either joined the cheaters or turned them in. The tactic of not cheating or turning them in but just whining about it to boosters while not letting them pay players was nauseating. But still, the cheaters would always have the same retort when Texas fans pointed out how they were outrecruiting Texas. "You're just jealous, Texas pays players just like everyone else." Oh really? Now that Texas affiliated interests are actually paying players because it's legal (along with a splash of winning), how's that working out for y'all? Fuck 'em all.
  10. LSU has 9 active NFL defensive backs. Texas has 8. Not quite the situation you're implying.
  11. Well at least I'm pretty sure Terry wouldn't survive that finish. Regressing and missing the tournament is one thing. Going 4-14 in conference off last season is quite another. Right? Please?
  12. Oh they definitely paid illegally for decades, but now that there are legal ways to earn money their bags look a lot smaller.
  13. It's definitely mostly the above. As others have pointed out, Alabama was getting a significant discount because of Saban's track record, players are not giving them that discount anymore. Deboer may be a good coach but he obviously does not have nearly Saban's track record or reputation. Not to mention he apparently is not the biggest fan of recruiting and keeping players right now is a matter of salesmanship and recruiting dozens of guys that you don't even know. A non-natural recruiter can land good classes with hard work and relationship building if he's not good at selling. But in this situation you have to be a salesman because you don't have the relationships. Apparently he either doesn't care for it or isn't great at it, or both.
  14. It wasn't "think of the children," it was the fact that these are adults whose freedom of movement was being illegally and nonsensically restricted. That was at roughly the same time everyone realized these are adults whose freedom to earn income was being illegally and nonsensically restricted. Are you a coach who makes money? You can move somewhere else as often as you like. Are you a regular student? You can, too. Oh you play sports? No, you're stuck. The system used to treat them like children. Now they have the same freedoms as other adults. Sucks to suck if you're not a very desirable destination.
  15. Perhaps it was someone else but I'm going to blame you anyway.
  16. This is the second time you've made a comment like this trying to generate traction. Do you have something you want to say?
  17. Well we didn't win the national championship last year so that should be the goal.
  18. I had a question about this that one of you recruiting honks didn't answer or at least I didn't see it. I thought the NLI bound a player for one year, regardless of the portal, etc.
  19. I don't know, maybe Texas really does have a $100M payroll. Sounds like everyone else should just give up.
