Please tell me what you say last year that wasn’t basically any damn different with what you saw with Charlie. Again, Herman a guy that’s supposed to be an offensive coach was mediocre on that side of the ball and also brought in a questionable OC. The special teams was also mediocre outside of the damn punter who probably ended up being the most important player on offense.

Coaches that were sitting on the couch eating potato chips just like yourself.

That’s a damn lie. The defense would have been just as good as this year considering that the best players on the defense were returning players with a ton of experience and were draft eligible.
-
Yep, before that the only guy that would always get in trouble was Cedric Benson.
-
Yep, the program began to rot slowly with the horrible recruiting classes right after winning the NC. Especially that recruiting class that had the DB that got in trouble from Port Arthur. Because of that Mack Brown relied heavily on the small but great recruiting class that included Colt, and Jamaal Charles. And when Colt and that small but great recruiting class graduated was when the the entire foundation became completely rotted because those recruiting classes Mack signed right after winning the NC were for the most part horrible. Because of that Texas has been mediocre for almost a Decade.
-
And he deserved to get fired. But the fact remains that nothing that I say last year would lead anybody to believe that this program will make steady improvements and get back to national prominence.

That truth hurts.😩

Who knows, maybe if he wins another mediocre bowl game again just to get above .500 they’ll give him a raise. Hell, he got a brand new locker room before he even coached a game when Charlie couldn’t even get a new clipboard. And Charlie still was able to bring in a great recruiting class. When it comes to in game coaching/ adjustments, on field discipline, horrible special teams, there isn’t an improvement at all from Charlie.

Once again, just keep the same energy with Herman as you had with Charlie. So when the guy who’s supposed to be an offensive coach offense stinks again and the team is mediocre I want to hear the same things you all were and are saying about Charlie and Shaka Smart after year two.
-
I’m just making sure you all are consistent because there was/ is people that were calling for Charlie’s job and Shaka Smart’s job after two seasons. So when the football team is mediocre again this year I expect the same.
-
Wow, so this is what it’s come to for Texas. Celebrating a mediocre season and a mediocre bowl win. Herman, who is supposed to be an offensive coach didn’t show anything that said that he knew what the hell he was doing on that side of the ball.

Nope, Just the facts. Herman hasn’t shown any signs that he’s better than Charlie was. And unless that defense some how improves after losing its best players including DeShon and the offensive line magically goes from mediocre to decent this team will be average at best.

Herman needs to be on the same plan as Charlie I don’t see this team being any better than last year.

Texas just had a guy as the hitting coach who was supposed to be great and we saw what that produced. IMO the hitting talent of your players is more important than the hitting coach.
-
Or, she just wasn’t good enough to get minutes.
-
There was a log jam at the PF position anyway. So losing 3 players that weren’t important contributors at that position is actually a good thing IMO.
-
I’ll take the assistant coaches that can recruit. It’s amazing how a coach can look with great players, whether it’s hitting or pitching.
-
Again, nice to see Herman continuing to recruiting California/out of state.
-
Mike White comes to Texas at the perfect time. He has plenty of time to flip 2019 and 2020 recruits. I think he can flip the kid from Texas that’s committed to Oklahoma.
-
Former President Powers was comfortable with the mediocrity. The upgrading of athletic facilities is also something that should have occurred long ago. It’s nice to see that has also changed.
-
Absolutely. The most exciting thing is the actions matching the words when it comes to winning. Especially when it comes to ponying up the money that it takes to win. Texas has always annoyed me with always saying that they wanted to be great but would never spend the money needed to do it, facilitates in particular. Rich people are usually cheap, but Texas was on another level when it comes to being cheap.
-
Agreed. Finally, an AD and athletic department that wants to win.
-
Two great hires by CDC. Texas athletics is finally back in business again.
-
Very impressed. Great hire.
-
Great hire by CDC. Also keep in mind that Floréal coaches some of the best professionals track athletes in the world. So they’re also going to be moving to Austin to live and train. Which also helps when it comes to to recruiting.
