  1. I'm not saying he's a guaranteed winner or that he should be anything other than interim, but we have Chris Ash on hand, who according to his history has called defense for P5 schools in P5 conferences. Like McNeill he's been a head coach and been fired. Like McNeill some of the defenses he coached weren't so great. You make it sound like McNiell was a slam dunk improvement, but he didn't even get to keep the job after the end of season. Nonetheless, Riley saw what he had was shit and was willing to take a chance on a questionable commodity in hopes of improvement. So maybe Ash doesn't turn out to be any good. What's the risk? That we go from having the worst P5 defense to having the worst P5 defense? On the other hand there's actually a chance we might improve.
  2. Because unlike OU we don't coach our guys how to hold and how to do it without geting caught. And that's an indictment of our coaching, not OU. Tech used to do the same thing all the time and never get called. Not coincidentally Leach came from the Stoops coaching tree. If you can condition the refs to accept it from your guys then why not do it?
  3. McNeill was not a sure thing. He coached some poor defenses previously, including at Tech. He was also fired from East Carolina as Head Coach. His resume was no more sterling than some of the guys we have in waiting. Riley just had the balls to know what wasn't working and to take a chance.
  4. I know the options on hand are underwhelming for what we would like, but looking at their head coaching records isn't necessarily an indicator of what they might be able to do. We wouldn't be asking any of them to be head coaches, just competent coordinators or even position coaches. Can they be that? Maybe or maybe not, but I know that what we have in those positions now sucks and there's at least a chance of improving with a change. Particularly at DC. Maybe a new DC could get the existing position coaches to actually do some decent coaching too. A good head coach isn't going to be afraid to make a move midseason if things aren't working. Riley changed DCs midseason last year despite having only one loss because he knew change was needed, and still made the playoffs. He didn't keep Stoops out of fear of making a midseason change, even though you could argue McNeal wasn't a sure success either. There are other examples out there of guys that had the balls to make a move because what they were doing wasn't working.
  5. Great. So our only hope is he does a line of tainted coke off a stripper's ass.
  6. Even that comes back to the OU philosophy of cheating at everything you do. How long has it been a widely discussed topic of how OU's oline holds on every play. 2 decades.. They do it because they know the refs aren't going to throw a flag every play, so just keep holding and overall you gain more than you lose from it. At Texas we try to avoid holding so we don't get penalized and basically play with one hand tied behind our back compared to what OU does when we play them. They cheat at oline play and we don't. And I'm not saying there hasn't been a talent differential, but there's still a portion of it that comes back to OU cheats and we think we're above doing that.
  7. I have mixed feelings on this. While I don't disagree that this is better than the Strong years it's also the same thinking that accepted years of underperformance during Mack's tenure with shitty coaches since, "Hey at least it's better than Mackovic". Underperformance is still underperformance and shouldn't be accepted indefinitely because things have been worse before.
  8. While I don't disagree I question how much of this Beck is responsible for and how much was Herman.
  9. I love his writing in general, but I can't read his or anyone else's writeups of what they think we should do in games. Ultimately, that doesn't matter. What matters is what our coaches are going to do. If these writeups would project what they think WILL happen, and not what SHOULD happen I'd be interested. Otherwise it does nothing to prepare me for what I'm going to see.
  10. Bless you. It sounds like he was a good father that loved his daughter and raised her well. As a father I can understand as my only meaningful goal in life is to be a good dad.
  11. I didn't see the tv broadcast, but on the radio the talked quite a bit about the wind picking up around halftime and Texas going into that wind in the 3rd quarter. They thought it was affecting passes and was a factor in running the ball more that quarter.
  12. -1. They'll call us for defensive holding on ou runs.
  13. Booted from team? So he'll miss the 1st quarter.
  14. We have one actually. See the Golden Triangle. Maybe he thinks we need another one.
  15. I was told there would be no History.
  16. Gonna have to see pics of the sister to decide if this is an insult or not.
  17. Just for clarity what I was referring toand what Cowherd was is past tendancy to not cover the spread in games like this. That track record has neen undeniable. I think we're going to start doing better in that regard, but that's what the past has been.
