    Well mark him off then.

    The infatuation some of this board have with Robinson, Tomey, and Akina is strange.  Yes, they did a good job when they were here.  But there are probably defensive coaches under the age of 40 60 that are also good.

  2. All of this GD talk reminds me of a pet theory.  I think he is to blame for mensa tom's slavish devotion to 11 personnel (although that vapid terminology wasn't en vogue back then). GD used to brag about being able to run from under center with a single back and TE.  Then, without substituting, he would go to shotgun 5-wide with the RB and TE split out.  In reality the RB would split out to the sideline, run 2 yards, and turn around to act as a safety valve.  Meanwhile the TE would line up in the slot and lumber around and fail to get open.  Tom seems married to a 20 year old approach that was shitty at the time.

    Other schools are using it against us.  If you go to Texas you're never going to get to the NFL because all they ask their dline to do is hold up blocks for the LB's

    I guess Baylor and Iowa State didn't get the memo

    Never happening. PNW Boise guy through and through and haaaates booster glad-handling (though he's actually good at it, since he's just an earnestly quality dude).

    That was the thought during the 2013 season.  Then he left and went to Washington.

    At this point, I'm pretty sure no one with ties to Tom Herman will be an acceptable hire for most Texas fans. Prepare for a long, hard winter.

    People will convince themselves next year could be better.  It's easier than accepting that we're in a holding pattern and will have to wait 21 months before we see the next regime coach a game.

    Next year, if Herman either excels or crashes, that outcome could decide his fate. 

    But what if he repeats 2018?  No conf. championship or contending for a national title, but a couple of good wins, a decent bowl and a 10+ win season?  And the perception of substantial improvement from a 7-6 or 6-7 season?

    In that scenario, I don't see Del Conte firing him.
