  1. There's been a lot of pissin' and moanin' on here about how no coordinator worth a shit would come here to work for Herman because he's on the hot sheet, blah, blah. Bullshit. a really good coordinator will come here for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is the hope to succeed TH if he's really on the way out. Yes, a marginal to ordinary OC/DC might stay put where he's safe, but a rising star will have the chops and the ego to come get in line to succeed TH, or at the very least show that he can excel at a blue blood program.
  2. Herman will most likely be here next year, for sure, thanks to a combination of contracts/money, Georgia, and the (likely spurious) "continuity" argument. Then, to survive to 2021, he has to throw a coordinator plus one or more assistants under the bus as soon as this year's over (I vote Orlando, Mehringer and demote Beck to QB Coach and bring in a legitimate OC) and somehow manage to salvage the 2020 recruiting class and limit the after-season defections into the transfer portal. And of course have an acceptable 2020. All that together is a tall order so, no, I don't think he's here in 2021.
  3. For all the foregoing 107 pages of righteous ragin' nobody but this guy has figured it out: The keys are the recruiting class(es) and the transfer portal. We're already taking on water in those areas. If it gets worse and we lose more in these areas we're totally fucked. That's why we need a housecleaning now, to hold what we've still got. Hell, it may already be too late. . .
  4. Apparently it's possible to bitch without actually knowing the score.
  5. I'm shocked, shocked to find that there's gambling going on in here.
  6. This is the kind of thing that usually ends up biting me in the ass: I had Marshall -3.5 for the first half. If you watched the last couple of minutes of that half (and unless you had money on the game, why in the hell would you?), you know what I'm talking about. Thank you, Jesus. Unbelievable.
  7. What did he do to bump this thread? Cant find anything. Maybe Cam bumped it himself.
  8. Ding! Ding! Ding! This man gets it.
  9. We should reach out to Bud Foster who's retiring at Va Tech--not for DC, just as a consultant. And yes, even in the face of his tippler reputation. He's only 60 and should have a couple of good years left in him. Pay him to come to the ATX and advise TH on the D in the daytime and hit 6th Street at night. About half serious about that. Downside is, I'm not sure how many Big 12-type offenses he's faced over the years.
  10. They seem to be jumpin' around like a bunch o' Kansas City faggots.
  11. "He's kissin' her on th' strikes, and she's kissin' him on th' balls." Headline: X-Rays of Dean's Head Show Nothing
  12. This is what scares the hell out of me. Of course we don't know what the mood of the team is, but the decommits and the transfers sure make it look like fleeing a sinking ship.
  13. I don't want my coach to shrink from high expectations and be content to stay someplace like aggy, where 8-4 is good enough. I want him to just naturally assume he can win it all. Viper: The best driver and his RIO from each class has his name on it. [turns to Maverick] You think your name's gonna be on that plaque? Maverick: Yes, sir. Viper: That's pretty arrogant, considering the company you're in. Maverick: [pauses] Yes, sir. Viper: [smiles] I like that in a pilot.
  14. I was told there would be no math.
  15. "Could you do that? I couldn't do that. Who are those guys?"
  16. Insane futility. (BTW: I see that you graduated with honors from the Ed McMahon School of Straightmen.)
  17. What the fuck happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you're gonna let it be the worst. 'Ooh, we're afraid to go with you, Bluto, we might get in trouble.' (shouting) Well, just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead!
