    UM has gotten to marinate on our offer for a long time now. I guess he could be shopping it around the NFL. No school out there can match what we threw out.

    A corch who wants "total control" over personnel ain't looking for a NFL gig.

    I'm curious who you think on our 2020 schedule ran out a better QB against us than Ehlinger. Brock Purdy perhaps.

    Pregame? Nobody

    But, I'd have probably traded Sam for Duggan, Sanders, and Purdy postgame.

    I assume there are lots of QBs who take too many crippling sacks.

    Without looking at statistics, my half-baked comparisons were made with good runners/inconsistent passers in mind. But, as a few pointed out, I overrate Sam's running and underrate his passing. Maybe he's one-of-a-kind...

    I get that there isn't a large sample of mobile white QBs to compare Sam to, but Hill had wide receiver speed and Sam runs like a fullback.  Sam's TD/INT ratio and QBR are also much better.  Really the only thing they have in common is the whiteness.

    Well, Texas' defense sure made Hill look like the 2nd coming of VY. /noracist

    I don't know what their 40 times are, but Hill definitely looked faster. Good to know Sam is/was the better passer. That should excite UM.

    Is Arizona a good job?

    Serious question.

    How do you win there?

    What’s the formula?

    Get the SoCal 3*’s and below that weren’t taken by Cali schools+Oregon, and try and keep the 4 and 5 *’s form Arizona?

    A ‘System guy’ coach that uses Air Raid or Triple Option? Rich Rod had some success, I guess.

    I don’t have enough info to have an opinion. Curious if anyone else does.

    No

    But, a 5-star Tucson native like Bijan Robinson can probably answer your question in more detail as to why.

    Or he's just a better runner. He had more carries for more ypc for more touchdowns. I'm not sure that UF's OL between 2007-2009 was that much better than Texas' between 2018-2020. UF had 3 OL go in the 2011 draft but those guys wouldn't have even been on campus in Tebow's Heisman year and would have been green the next 2 years. 

    I just wanna see how Sam does with UM's coaching. IMO, he didn't meet our expectations or his potential under Herman.

    I haven't looked but I bet Tebow has the faster 40 time.  Sam isn't as fast (or accurate) as some folks think.

    Yeah, we give Sam too much credit bc he's our guy. How many times was he the best QB on the field this year? Doubtful he has the measurables of either Tebow or Hill.

    But, he's probably still our best option for 2021 under UM's guidance.

    Than Tebow? I get Tebow can be low hanging fruit - but really? Did you watch Tim Tebow play in college?

    All the time.

    Maybe his running stats are better due to more well-designed QB runs and OL's blocking?

    That's kind of amazing. It's mentioned here all the time.

    Only Sam doesn't have the same shitty, wind-up release as Tebow. Better passer, potentially a better runner. Taysom Hill is probably a more accurate comparison.

    But, UM didn't coach Hill.

    "“It’s the big cigar guys with big dollars who are willing to spend it, because it suits them and because they can,” Turner said of donors. “Universities get held hostage over that, and it just takes courage on the part of presidents and other leaders in higher ed to say that’s inappropriate.”

    You like to tout the "courage" of Bill Powers in deciding to hire our worst AD, Steve Patterson, who in turn hired our worst HC, Charlie. Not a shining moment in Texas athletics history. Unless failure is your thing. 

    I'm of the mind that CDC should listen to the "big cigars" and hire the best HC available. You should adopt an incorruptible D3 program to support with pastors who moonlight as corches. That might fit your holier-than-thou stance on this issue.

    USA Today as a source. Geez...

    And a light goes on in the darkness.

    And remember, colleges and universities still have to beg the federal government for financial relief due to COVID. Students are filing suit to reclaim tuition payments.

    And you people want to start throwing money around like drunken scumbags on coaches who are human pieces of shit.

     

    No, the BMDs who have a vested interest in the success of Texas Football want to throw the money at our problem.

    The answer to all of these is that we and every program already have hired coaches who operate in these spaces....

    Let me be clear EVERY program.

    No evidence or sources necessary.

    That's why most practices and team events are closed to the press and public. It's called D1 football. Lotta grey areas.

    Yeah, I don't know.  I do think it's a hazardous business trying to predict the behavior of 18-year-old athletes.  Sure seems plausible that they won't like the idea of the coach/staff that recruited them not being their actual coach.  But then maybe having a strange but ostensibly better coaching staff offsets that.  I really don't know.

    The recruiting angle on coach retention seems more to avoid the negative recruting of "yknow, Coach X only has two years remaining on his contract, he could be gone" kind of shit.  I have no idea how effective that really is, but it is certainly an accepted justification for extensions.

    Corches who negatively recruit are douchebags, but I'm sure it goes on. It's amazing that a kid and his family are duped by that tactic, but whatever. Too much history - see Gus Malzahn - that an extension doesn't mean shit for job security.

  14. 1 minute ago, TwiceHorn said:

    Well, you do it for recruiting, too. To paper up that illusion that the coach is here to stay and just as a symbolic gesture.

    The length and the full salary guarantee are the irksome parts of it.

    I find it plausible that CDC was on-board with a shorter extension or a longer one with a reduced guarantee.  I tend to think, but it's speculation, that Fenves or the BMD behind Herman's hiring in the first place pushed for the longer, richer one because "we finally have our guy."  

    I understand that Fenves didn't want to deal with AD issues as a general proposition, but I can also see him not wanting to ride herd on another coaching search or have to hop on a plane to beg two assistants to come ever again.

    Good point

    But, how many of our #17 ranked kids signed yesterday bc they loved Herman? I don't follow recruiting that closely, but I assume that many are more enamored with UT with all the smoke about Herman's hot seat. Do these kids get a free release from UT if Herman is fired? How does that work? 

  15. For everyone banging on CDC. I agree his decision to extend Herman after finishing 9-4 and winning the Sugar Bowl was just stupid. You extend a HC when you're concerned he may bolt. Herman was on record saying "TEXAS is my dream job". He wasn't going anywhere.

    Easy to second-guess in hindsight, I know, but CDC was still thinking like a Rice and TCU guy. Bad decision.

    Some of us fell asleep. Have to conserve our energy for the weekend. Hoping for some big news to start leaking out soon. Hoping. I don’t know shit. But it’s been posted on here that perhaps this weekend may bring some new news? 

    No leaks

    What's the topic du jour? BBQ, boots, music, flight tracking, or Shelly's tweets?
