  1. I think moreso is situational awareness. When a half is running down in an already chaotic way, and the kicking team is stressing over the play clock running down, don't ice them and give them extra time to set up.
  2. I don't know but someone one here was saying the talk was Stoops and he brings venables with a HCIW plan over a few years
  3. Yep needs thread. So the reumor yesterday something was in the works with Stoops and venables getting the band back together.... starting to sound like good info. Clemson might be the biggest loser in this deal
  4. I mean, strong took less than market salary and we paid the difference, have you seen jumbos contract?
  5. Holt shit at Jimbo with 15/1 i mean, he could take the job for $1/yr with aggy saddled with $7.5M, freeing up record setting assistant coach money. Outstanding in so many ways.
  6. It looks like the wheels are starting to come off, and recruiting is starting to implode. Replacing all his dead weight at once is going to accelerate the recruiting implosion Keeping the dead weight is going to accelerate his replacement HCs job #1 is hiring staff and managing them. Replacing underperforming coaches with better ones, and replacing good ones when they leave for promotions with good replacements. Strong sucked at job #1 for a HC and Herman looks just as bad. Herman should have been upgrading 1-2 positions a season and he would be in a better position now. But very much like his predecessor, he has done very poorly at his #1 job function.
  7. That would suck assuming Herman is still coach 2-3 years from now because I think futureman is right about his role in this system. Sure seems like bringing back Samples as a coach replacing (take your pick), and doing it as soon as possible would be a smart move to firm up recruiting.
  8. What are his characteristics that would make him a good head coach? You're a really good coordinator, good at calling plays So I want to hire you to do a completely different job. Hope it works out! The job of a HC is much different than the job of a coordinator. the HC job first and foremost is to hire good assistants. Hire assistants so fucking good that everyone wants to poach/promote them, so you have to keep finding and hiring good assistants. I would argue the HC main job is evaluating talent and recruiting coaches who are good at evaluating talent and recruiting players. Bonus points if they can also coach.
  9. Refs are going in for the hit. PAC nearing irrelevance...
  10. Texags nuked their game thread. Natives are getting restless already WRT Baggins and co.
  11. He's aggy and a racist and he's trolling. Read through his posts, he's not actually disgusted at what Earl said because it's racist, he's disgusted because he can't get away with saying racist shit without getting called out. He's pissed about perceived.double standards. Oh and as an aggy and a Sul Ross apologist he's extremely angry that Earl would dare opine that black athletes are more athletic at football than white atheletes. I mean, they should know their place at the back of the bus right? It's not as if there is any available data such as racial demographics in the US and the NFL which you could compare, so I guess we will never know.
  12. Look at the replay, ball juggled and looks like it hit the ground between the players. Competence of B12 refs, review EVERYTHING except, you know, plays that should maybe be reviewed.
  13. Careful, if you stand up too fast all the sand will fall out of your pussy. He started playing at UT only 4 years after Julius Whittier was allowed on the team. This is not a defense of Earl, it's just a reminder that the 60+ people lived through a different era, particularly in the south. Old people say stupid shit all the time because at some point people stop evolving and settle into the norms which cultivated their identity When he grew up racism was overt and derogatory, a lot of what we currently consider racism wouldn't have registered 50 years ago. I don't believe Earl having the opinion that black football players are more athletic than white football players makes him racist. The PC pendulum has swung so far in the other direction that all the tiptoeing around broken glass appears disingenuous. Its a dumb statement because there are plenty of very good white QBs, and it makes him sound dumb. CTE is also a hell of a drug. But you getting so ragey about it reminds me of the run of the mill racist who goes way overboard trying to prove they aren't the racist they actually are.
  14. Akina is a better coach than any defensive coach we have, but it's easy to forget he had a pass defense ranking in the 90s-100s with 3 NFL starters and a Thorpe. Babers would be interesting as a secondary coach, he said yesterday or day before he would consult or coach or whatever, if someone reached out. And that he would be cheap.
  15. Look no further than injury reports. Bama and fOSU are close in recruiting over the past several years. This year injuries have crept up on Bama, they have 7 guys out for season and several out for shorter periods fOSU has escaped major injuries, LSU is doing pretty well also. We have one of the most beat up teams according to donbest, though Oregon and particularly USC are in worse shape.
  16. Job #1 for a head coach is do a good job hiring and managing your staff. Hire good coaches, hire good recruiters, bonus if they do both. Fire the ones who suck. Job #2 is to do a good job hiring. Because if you were good at job #1 you are pretty much always replacing guys who get lured away or you're cutting dead weight.
  17. I don't remember a World Series where home team lost every game
  18. Don't we have like 25ish freshman walk-ons?
  19. The lightbulb just went off in aggy head........trophies
  20. TCU was dead last in passing, actually still are. Running the ball was the only thing they could do until they played us. Klieman is a better coach than Herman with less talent. He has won 7 national championships in his last 8 seasons. They will beat us in the trenches, they have a running QB, and I sure wouldn't bet on this game because we should win off talent alone but Herman might be losing the team.
  21. He did. He went and got 3 guys who all got fired for going a combined 36-100 over the past 4 years. Obviously they know what his problems are and how to fix them.
  22. I think that was me on hornsfans. Aww look, Katy is fixing to ban me again.
  23. Ok. linemen, go get the QB. LBs, run support and light anyone the fuck up who gets near you. DBs, cover someone and try to get a pick. Basically keep it simple and just go do what you have all been doing for the past 10 or so years FUPM 1.7M. I'm sending in my resume. I couldn't be worse than what we have now.
  24. Don't forget at the cotton bowl the announcers actually said Grinch instructed his DBs to hold our receivers and make the officials call it. It's actually sound game theory, the officials won't throw flags every down and if you set the precedent then they will likely only call the most egregious fouls. And we have tweedle dumb and tweedle dumber coaching our team. Hey coaches, pull your head out of your ass so you can go fuck yourself.
  25. Go full fucking Groundhog Day and hire that coach from UNC who is doing ok and recruiting at a brisk clip. Have him bring a recruiting ace with him. I hate this.
