    It says "in the offseason"

    The Big 12 royally fucked up adding little schools (UCF, UC, UH) and did a pretty good job getting the 4 corners schools. They bootstrapped themselves with those 3 little guys. When the ACC falls out, won't be able to do much by way of additions.

    What an interesting time in coaching. Looks like after Campbell wasn’t picked he just straight up retired. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Campbell_(American_football)

    Nice, I appreciate all the info. Admittedly, I haven’t actively followed recruiting since “Malikmas”

    See, this is good stuff. We need more of this around here. Can you go in more depth on the bolded above? I'm really interested to learn more about: 1. Darrell Royal was only 52 years old when he stepped away. Did he leave on his own or was it a “please resign or we’ll fire you” 2. Why was Fred Akers chosen to replace him? 3. How the hell was Steve Patterson ever selected as AD? 4. Was hiring Charlie Strong a rogue move by the athletics department? (The BMDs didn’t support?) I know Red McCombs hated it.

    Probably why players like Jesse Armstead ends up in Miami and Tim Brown goes to Notre Dame. Weird time in the region none of the Texas or Oklahoma schools were very good in the 90s.

    Man, the things Texas could achieve without egos of bmd’s in the way. Like damn, were those two really the best Texas could do? Sounds like a comfort hire and a hopeful up and comer hire. Makes my appreciation for CDC even deeper.

    I really wish there was a “Longhorn Football History” thread. I was born in 1988, became a Texas fan in 1998 (Ricky is my favorite Horn) all I know of Royal and Akers era is LHN specials and articles. Aggy loves to gloat about their record over Texas in the 80s and early 90s, to which I always remind them coincides with them cheating their little dicks off. The response is always “sTuPiD SiP eVeRyOnE wAs ChEaTiN bAcK tHeN” looking at our record during that period, Texas must’ve really sucked ass at cheating. I say all this to ask, WTF happened after barely missing another title in 1983? What lead to hiring the Mick’s (McWilliams/Mackovic) The 80s & 90s were Texas football hell.

    With so much young coaching talent out there, how do these re-treads keep getting jobs? This dude was complete ass as a head coach.

    When your arch rival plays for titles in 2000, 2003, 2004, 2008 that you could’ve easily been in their place had you not been a pussy, it’s a big deal. There was a clear path for Texas to play for titles in 2001, 2004, 2005, 2008, 2009. Had that happened I imagine this thread looks vastly different.

    I love Coach Royal and the man he was as a coach. No man alive is without his flaws. It's hard to find many with Royal. I'm definitely interested in reading that book, so I appreciate the suggestion. The only flaw I find with Royal is him helping Switzer and Bryant install the wishbone (more so Switzer) I get that he's an Oklahoma alum and all that. But man, they're an annual opponent, no way I'm just giving away trade secrets like that. One thing at Texas for better or worse, we seem to have success with the "good guys" and have never seen a "killer" type do well here. I'm fine with that. As much as it's annoying, I prefer golly-gee Grandpa Brown over dick head "I'm smarter than everyone" Tom Herman.

    Larry fucking Coker coached and won a title with the most loaded roster of all time and went to back to back titles. Mack Brown was a phenomenal recruiter, a mediocre X’s and O’s guy, and a terrible staff assembler. 2005 won by straight up overwhelming their opponents with their talent and dumb ass Greg Davis getting the fuck out of the way.
  13. RoyalBevo21
    Ya, idk wtf that guy was talking about? When Royal left Texas I wasn’t even alive, I have no idea what the details were. Did he not leave on his own?
  14. RoyalBevo21
    Switzer* (fuck auto correct)
  15. RoyalBevo21
    Did Switzerland really have a losing record to Texas?
  16. RoyalBevo21
    Exactly, this weird Stockholm syndrome some Horns have for Grandpa Mack is cringe.
  17. RoyalBevo21
    Agreed, but that was due to an injury and they fought until the end. 2007 was just straight up an ass whipping.
  18. RoyalBevo21
    There were good times, but there were also a lot of blown dumb shit. 2000-2004 RRSO His entire approach to Red River and acting like a gaping pussy. "Scared to death" awww shucks grandpa we'll give it our best try, attitude. 2001 Big 12 Championship 2007 Kansas St 2009 Not giving Garrett Gilbert playing time for more in game experience. RG3 recruitment Overreacting to Alabama loss and trying to go pro style power run Telling recruits to look around when he knew it was over. There are more, but that's what I have off the top of my head.

    Gabriel’s old ass is one I’d like to avoid. Other than that nobody scares me.
  20. RoyalBevo21
    Maybe he just needs to get drunk and abusive.
  21. RoyalBevo21
    I hope this makes Sark realize we can run the GD ball and don’t have to do all that window dressing cute shit to do it.
  22. RoyalBevo21
    Ok, fuck you Sark. You’re being a gigantic turtling pussy.
  23. RoyalBevo21
    They’re way too fuckin emotional.
  24. RoyalBevo21
    Wtf is happening?…….
