  1. I'd really like him on staff for recruiting, but if he's demanding play calling responsibilities and oregon will give him that, you just have to move on. The recruiting isn't worth sacrificing the entire defense.
  2. You're a quick study.
  3. Anyone asking if this staff is better than Charlie or Tom's initial staffs based on the hires so far: do you see Shawn Watson on the list? Tim Beck? Simply not having those two means this staff is better, no matter who else is hired.
  4. I agree, but the only thing that makes it not a pipe dream is the shit show happening at lsu right now. It has to be the most dramatic collapse of a program following a nc in history. You'd have to think anyone on that staff would at least have a conversation at this point.
  5. This is my thought. Very odd that there are still new "reached out to x for the dc role" rumors coming out when we've already hired someone to the staff. If we actually don't know who our dc will be, hiring Gideon seems...strange.
  6. I know about Brewster but don't know a lot about McGuire. Anyone who has strong feelings about the two, who should we want more? Why? Are they equally good gets, or one significantly better?
  7. It said he's staying at bama.
  8. Anyone gloating about people in this thread setting themselves up for disappointment never really understood the point of this thread. Sure, we all really did want urban meyer to be our coach, but after the news broke that he said no hopefully most of us knew it was an extreme longshot at best. It was still fun in a time when not much about texas football has been. In the end, the only outcome that I would've been unhappy with is Herman returning, and that's not happening. Hopefully sark can give us more than a ridiculous thread to enjoy about texas football, but for the tail end of this shitty season this has been a fun distraction regardless of the outcome.
  9. Texags is a blast this morning. The entire first page is threads directly or indirectly responding to their embarrassment that a bdf team boatraced their best win. The highlights include everything from reminding each other that ou faced a full strength sec team in the cotton bowl and lost (because 2012 is very relevant now) to complaining that the opt outs are being social justice warriors because the schools and bowls are seen as "the man" trying to keep the players down. Only aggy could find a way to respond to a disappointing bowl outcome with thinly veiled racism.
  10. Yep. It's pretty obvious what happened here. We were using Mullen as negotiating leverage for Meyer, so he pulled strings and arranged for Mullen to get a show cause and eliminate our leverage. That's the most obvious explanation, and just further confirmation that it's happening.
  11. Please don't.
  12. Brian Davis reading this idea right now...
  13. You joined right in the middle of our urban meyer media fiasco and claimed to have been "trying to sign up" for 3 years and only now suddenly figured out how, but you're surprised anyone has labeled you as potentially fishy?
  14. "Finding a place that offers 2 margaritas and an appetizer for $9 is really, really hard."
  15. It's certainly starting to feel like you do.
  16. The reaction in this thread is why you need to be certain Meyer will say yes before anything becomes public knowledge. Kelly is a fine coach and a clear upgrade from Herman, but once everyone is anchored on urban meyer, your only options are to land him or disappoint a lot of people. If the search news started with Fickell or Harsin and suddenly Kelly's name entered the mix, I imagine the reaction would be a bit different.
  17. Do you even sec, bro? If he wins games, those fine Baptists would worship Satan for him.
  18. Fucking hilarious, this is exactly what we had. Don't get to Chicago often these days, but LM delivered will do in a pinch. Merry Christmas ya filthy surly animals.
  19. cdc: here's our offer, $12m/year Urban: hard pass cdc: ok, here's our new offer, $12m/year PLUS a special meditation room Urban: where the fuck do I sign???
  20. Cut the aggy some slack. They just had the best season they've had in 30 years, and the best they'll have for the rest of Jimbo's tenure, and were left out of the playoffs because no one has ever or will ever give a shit about aggy. That is a hard realization to process for them. They will never beat alabama again, and this year proves that unless they're able to do that, there's no championship in aggy's future, ever. They obviously thought by going to the sec, they'd get some of that one loss and still in the playoffs love. They didn't realize those rules only apply to sec teams that matter to the conference (and country, for that matter). aggy is not on that list. aggy has never been and will never be on that list. No amount of conference changing, coach hiring, or political posturing will ever make it happen. In cfb there are big brothers and little brothers, and aggy is painfully realizing that moving to the sec and hiring Jimbo's has only made them a little brother who runs his mouth louder and to a different group of friends. He's still a little brother, and always has been. So, if this dumb shit mouth breathing red ass fuckstick needs to ease his pain by spamming our board, I say have at it. I smile at every post as each one reminds me how painful it must have been to see osu and nd on that final four list. But hey, at least you get to lose to mack brown again as your consolation prize. Or "not want to be there," as I'm sure you'll say after.
  21. Yeah, that article smells of a Tom Herman sponsored storyline. Interesting that this story comes from the same person who asked Tom the obvious planted question about the Urban rumors. By all accounts, Ewers committed to Yurcich based on the offense he sold him, and decommitted after seeing an offense that looked nothing like what he was sold. Strangely, it also looked very little like what Yurcich has put on film before, and a hell of a lot like Herman's offense. Funny how that works. With this set of information, we're supposed to blame Yurcich for running off Ewers? Tom and Anwar need to come up with some better spin to sell.
  22. So he's already giving nc bulletin board material? Fantastic.
  23. Mea culpa. I blame being too high on aggy misery.
