    Herman had a better season last year than Rhule has this year. If Herman blew a lead like Baylor did against OU, Texas fans would be calling for his head. Let's tap the brakes on anointing Rhule as an example of the type of coach that can be successful at Texas. Thinking like that has got us in this mess.

    Look don't get me wrong Rhule is a great coach but he has not beaten a highly ranked team yet. This year they flew under the radar but when you have the target on your back, we don't know how his team is going to do. They took a huge lead on OU in the first half but could not close it out. This is a good year for them but the jury is still out as to whether they can sustain it at the top. Again, these examples are rare and definitely not the norm.

    Look at our most successful coaches in recent history and where they came from. If you are going to hire a coach from a small program, make sure he had a long and sustained success there, which takes away the sample size bias. I am not sure why this is so hard to understand.

    Riley and Ryan Day were handed programs that were at the top. They spent some time in the program before taking over. Texas needed someone with experience running big time programs. For our situation we made wrong hires.
  5. ShowMeALoss
    Yes but Baylor doesn't recruit like Texas.

    CDC is a great salesman, which is half the job. He has energized our boosters into opening up their wallets so that we could upgrade our outdated facilities. He also has done an admirable job in improving the game day experience for the fans. Whether or not he is good to great at the other half of his job remains to be seen. We have to give him time though.

    I keep thinking why head coaches like Strong and Herman who were very successful with lesser talents shit their pants at Texas with an abundance of talent. The answer maybe very simple. It takes different tactics to motivate 2-3 stars to play hard than it does to 4-5 stars. Herman tried the same approach that worked for him at Houston but it didn't work here. When you bench a 5 star to teach him lesson, he reacts differently than a 2 star. It's time to act like We are Texas and make a big time hire.

    It starts at the top.

    For a head coach who preaches alignment, his team is the very definition of misalignment. Nobody has any fucking clue as to what the play is.

    Our rate of regression is astronomical, much greater than Mack's last few years.
  11. ShowMeALoss
    They have. We are running more negative plays now.

    Winning is hard.

    Correlation doesn't imply causation. Yes, we have had poor results and coaching turnover over the past decade but that doesn't mean coaching turnover caused the poor results.
  14. ShowMeALoss
    This is such a bad take. If the coaches were great in the first place, Texas wouldn't have to replace them. If things didn't show upward trajectory in the first 2-3 years, what makes people think that it's going to magically improve in years 4 and beyond? Alabama changes coordinators almost every year and they don't skip a beat but sure blame our sucktitude on not keeping the worst coordinators in football long enough. Surely if we gave them 4 years, they would have turned us into a national championship contender.

    "we are not where we were after the KU loss." We may not be where we were after the KU loss but we are closer to that than we are to being a program like Alabama, Clemson or Ohio St. That's the frustrating part. Tom has been given every opportunity to succeed here but he is acting like a homeless person being invited to a mansion. Instead of choosing the master bed with ocean views, he chooses the maid's quarters.

    We are starting to sound like Aggy. I guess this is what losing a lot does to you.

    Good coaches remind players of what not to do at critical moments. Players run high on adrenaline, so they can forget the simple things.

    What's mind bottling is that he doesn't get the fact that it really doesn't matter whether you give the ball back with 2 or 3 minutes left when all they need is a FG to win. You absolutely run your regular offense to score a TD to put the game away at that point in time. If they had failed to get a first down while running the offense that was working, then so be it. Running out an additional minute with 2 straight run plays when everyone knew it was coming would not have made a difference.
  19. ShowMeALoss
    Remember, they play against each other in practice. It's easy to see why they overestimate what they can accomplish.

    It's funny how CDC goes MIA on twitter after a bad loss. Mr. Cheerleader, it's time to be a leader and fix our athletic program.
  21. ShowMeALoss
    By that logic, as soon as you take a lead, at any point in the game, you should only try to run to end the game? That's some Mensa level genius!
  22. ShowMeALoss
    Also, depends on who we hire. If we get a top tier coach, I doubt we would have too many decommitments.

    It's lot more difficult to change the university than to find a coach who would thrive here. Being successful at Texas requires a lot more than coaching acumen. It's certainly not for someone who hasn't managed a big time program before. Tom Herman doesn't check most of the boxes to indicate that he would be a successful coach here, yet he was the only guy we went after. We will see how good an AD CDC is. It's one thing to waive the pom pom and be a cheer leader, and another to be able to make the tough decisions.
  24. ShowMeALoss
    You don't know that. Tom and Charlie both did very well at smaller programs, and yet their success elsewhere didn't translate to much at Texas. Our next hire should be someone with a proven record at a major program.

    Does anyone else think Tom Herman gives terrible pep talks? I can't imagine his players getting fired up after hearing his pep talks. When you start every sentence with "aaa", it's hard to listen to the rest. Great motivators/speakers don't use "aaa" to connect sentences.
