If you really wanted to show your love to him you’d change her name to Quinn.

I'll have Quinn know that my 17 month old daughter has a natural mullet. We have not touched her hair at all. It just stays a fucking mullett. This is a sign.

to entice a long-shot transfer QB is a weird move.
My point isn't Tech doing it to be enticed, but doing it in return. It wouldn't be a longshot, it'd be a done deal. Now I'm not saying that's what's going on or anything. I don't know the kid. The coaches. Hell, I just know I'd wanna do it for an old ball coach if I could, and we've seen it done before. That's all.

I know these are basically the same story, but just to show the scope. I saw other similar from Phoenix, Iowa, etc...

Eh, it wouldn't be the first time a high profile recruit tried to get a coach hired at an entry position
Speaking of: isn't that an NCAA violation now? Or since Ewers is a year out and transferring, is it okay?

If QE is calling the shots for Maguire on who to hire for his first time HC job, he must be drinking again.
Eh, it wouldn't be the first time a high profile recruit (I'm calling him a recruit still) tried to get a coach hired at an entry position (we don't for sure know which position though QB is rumored). Especially at a university who is out-kicking their coverage on even being in it with said recruit. That, and being the OC at SLC isn't exactly a reach on being able to coach.

Quarterback
Quinn Ewers, Southlake (Texas) Carroll
The Ohio State transfer may be a reach to put in with the high school prospects, but I’m returning him to his 2022 class. Texas Tech and TCU have had Ewers on around camp since Sunday. Ewers met with Steve Sarkisian Friday night. Texas would love for Ewers to get on campus before making a decision. I do not believe NIL is a driving force here. This is all about best avenue to the field immediately, and that’s where trust and a plan comes into play. TCU taking a commit from Josh Hoover minutes after meeting with Ewers isn’t how to win on trust. If Ewers genuinely wants to have a positive effect on a recruiting class with under a week until signing day, Texas will be his choice.Man I love Bobby, but how is TCU taking a commitment from a 3-star QB going to really affect "Trust" or whatever with Ewers? You can consider him a '22 if you want, and I get that, but the fact is he isn't. He's not going to be threatened by a '22 3-star QB.

It's not that I think that Tech hiring the SLC OC would influence Ewers, but it does make me wonder if it might not be the other way around... if that's true.

The law prevents the school from coordinating NIL activities with athletes. They must be hands off. So it has nothing to do with desire or whatnot. They legally aren't allowed to do it
No one was asking the athletic department to coordinate with the athletes, but to at least coordinate with the donors on the outside to get NIL programs going. You think Oregon waited around on Phil Knight to come up with everything on his own, or did they help in coordinating the effort? Hell, look into The Oregon Accelerator.

We have several podcasts detailing the whole thing. Maybe some of you should actually listen to them, they might actually be kind of good.
Dude. Yall did a helluva job. No one is questioning this. This is fantastic. But ffs be patient with some of us. Not everyone’s coming at y’all like Hornlover, and have legit questions and/or concerns. That’s okay!- 3

I think Quinn only cares about Quinn in this decision. The getting players to join him bit seems a little overplayed. This past year he's been acting in his own best interests
I dunno, having great players around him "is" in his best interest, and is part of why he went to Ohio State in the first place.

Thanks.
I have been on the boards since 1997 when I was a student at Texas. We've spent decades as fans and board patrons feeling powerless to create any real change. The Internet, social media, and time building knowledge and money have brought us to the point where we can actually do something about this sport we love.
My expectation is that this does indeed help this staff, the players, future players, and the program. If we could start winning at an elite level again, that would justify the effort we have put in since early July when it became immediately evident that the Athletic Department wasn't going to be a help.
If Texas, its layers of fanbase from the BMDs to the middles to the everyday fans, the city of Austin, and the state of Texas are truly able to harness the competitive advantages within NIL's framework, UT can have an engine built that very few other programs can rival and will put these silly ass, dark market bagman games to absolute shame.
@immamac @RGBIII @SydneyCarton @GlenFromTheMailRoom @SquishMitten and several folks not on this board, including Bobby Burton, played huge roles in getting this going. @texifornia @Burt Macklin @Dbeasy @henrygandorf and a number of other folks (shout yourself out for positive rep if you're not named) helped get this from idea to a germinating sapling as well.
Here's to bigger and better.
I appreciate every single one of you. Well done.

Okay, Ewers: call any 22 OL you want, any transfer OL you want. They'll have a nice bit of dough to screw with.

I do not think it is realistic to think that you can regulate who athletes are friends with, and what they say amongst each other.
I don't either. But that all of these others boosters would be on board and organizing behind the scenes just seems weird. Not saying there is anything under the table going on, but it seems like maybe it shouldn't be this way?
