  1. I'm sure he has spent some time there, as his dad coaches a pretty important football team in the area.
  2. Uhm that uh, is kinda the point we've been trying to make here?
  3. And if he can still run a 5.0 at 250ish by the time he's in your program for a while, then that's not terrible for a TE, and also not indicative of overall athleticism. But I think I'm kinda going away from the discussion, so I'll tap out.
  4. A lot of decent college TEs who run around the 4.8 or lower.
  5. Not sure if anyone has answered you yet, but I'm going to say it's because he's not interested in us. I hope you finally have the answer you were looking for.
  6. Oh, it's gunna be some heavy bags headed his way. This is so huge for them on many levels.
  7. Not sure anyone really has a gouda answer for you...
  8. Easterby was brought in as your regular ole team chaplain/character coach guy, which wasn't too odd. But he was in the building at the time of Bob McNair's health problems and eventual passing, so rumor is that Cal and the McNairs personally leaned on him a lot, and that it took the relationship to a different level which ended in the Easterby gaining a little bit too much power. So yes, not the greatest judge of things, Cal. I really do wonder his deep down, personal feelings about Texas football, and how connected he feels to it. Just doesn't seem to be as big as I'd have hoped.
  9. Look, we're trying to get Cal McNair to dish out. You gotta understand him first. So he likes video games and christian music. We're almost there.
  10. McCown, also a Jesus guy, was one of Easterby's biggest bro's, who he wanted to bring in as HC (luckily Nick seemed to stand up against that one). As for drafting players because they're Christian or whatever, I don't really see that. It's not like Davis Mills is leading prayer outside of NRG every day. Now on the free agent side, there was a lot of talk of "The right guys," but a lot of players around the NFL are "really wanna thank god" types and such, so I'm not sure how much of that was going on. But yes, Easterby had no business being in the position he was in, and that's a direct reflection of the McNairs. Maybe telling Cal that Texas is God's team will help.
  11. Are we sure if Cal maybe didn't have a bad experience with football at Texas? Maybe he was shoved in a locker or something?
  12. The dude probably sits around and plays video games all day. Maybe there's an opening there.
  13. What do you mean no chance at all to succeed? They kept Tunsil. Extended Brandin Cooks. Went out and got him some TEs. Drafted him an OL in the first round. Drafted him a WR in the second round (who is diagnosed with leukemia during training camp). Drafted him a stud RB who is in the argument for RotY (which he won't get probably). And you don't want to point out the defensive picks that seem to have gone decent so far? Anyway, not gunna discuss it any further on this thread, but holy hell you've overlooked a lot.
  14. Again, there weren't a lot of serious candidates lined up to take the position, because the roster wasn't good, and freak boy QB wanted a trade. That's just the facts. You were going to have to pay someone, and they were probably going to lose.
  15. I dunno, they're about to have 1.1, , on top of what the Browns give them, and then basically pick 32, so it seems to have worked perfectly.
  16. Yep. It had been reported once (and I've the same thing through a couple of radio guys I know) that even after the season the plan was for Cully to stay. Cully had a hard time playing along, apparently. Nick was fine with him leaving because he could hire Flores. then... poop.
