  1. He was good, but ultimately not good enough. An important player in changing the trend line of the program, and he left it all out on field. Hook 'Em Quinn.
  2. I've been vocally critical of Quinn since he came back from the injury, but a lot of the these comments are fucking pathetic. Quinn was the reason we were even in that game. That was a really good D and they won a healthy majority of the 1 on 1 battles. You hang this loss around Sark's neck for going completely brain dead at the 1. Quinn was a flawed player but he left everything on the field tonight.
  3. And that’s on Sark, so we’re clear. That 2nd down call was an all time terrible call. Just atrocious.
  4. That third down throw sailed because they managed to get pressure despite rushing 3. I think Cam got beat inside and there was no way to step into it.
  5. Good job seeing the pressure and knowing he had to go hot. He’s been far from perfect, but we’re in the fight despite the fact that we’re generally doing a shit job of beating the guy across from us on most plays.
  6. Time to give up on that idea. Arch hasn’t seen meaningful live action in 3 months. It’s not going to happen here.
  7. I know nothing about our basketball NIL but I can't imagine the money wouldn't be there if/when needed. But the people providing it want to feel like the ROI will be there, and I don't think RT inspires confidence that it will be.
  8. You are trivializing that season to suit your narrative by focusing on how it ended. Terry took over before conference play, held the team together, won the Big 12 tourney (emphatically), and had the deepest tourney run we'd had in 15 years. And every player on that team stumped for him to get the job, iirc. For the record, I had real reservations that he would be able to sustain that performance, as did many others. There was no home run option out there, which meant that every possible hire carried a level of risk.
  9. It's a virtuous cycle. Better players want to feel confident that they are going to be developed and prepared for the next level. That takes a great coach. You can get a few mercenaries if you're willing to pay stupid money, but that's not a recipe for sustained success.
  10. Show you work. CDC makes the coaching hires, last I checked. I could infer that you are suggesting there was a mandate made (presumably by Hartzell), but I seriously doubt he'd take such a strong stance. More likely it was a decision that the two of them arrived at together. My experience with people at the C-level of any organization is that they try really hard not to tell their leadership team who to hire/fire. That sort of thing would make our AD job a hell of a lot less attractive.
  11. I'm a decade younger than CDC and could easily retire if I wanted to. But I'd be bored and I like making money. You said "Decisions made out of fear are rarely good ones" (among other things), which I could only assume was pointed at CDC's decision to hire Rodney Terry due to the optics of making a different decision. Go ahead and tell me what I got wrong there and then I'll give some thought to fucking off.
