    If Matt Wells hires Briles as OC, I would go out on a limb and say he was told he could keep his job on the condition of making this move.

    There's enough smoke around Briles to tech to conclude they vetted it, and possibly decided it was too politically costly to make that move.

    On the other hand, hiring him as a coordinator is different in that he's not the face of the program. It's a win/win for the people who want him there. Either he does enough as OC to make Wells look good, or if Wells fails, they fire him and promote Art on an "interim basis," only to keep permanently him based on his interim performance.

    If Briles appears on that staff in any way, it's a long play to promote him to hc if Wells fails.

    I'd resign if I were Wells in that scenario, being told who to hire as my OC.

    Using Yost as a scapegoat is one thing, but being micromanaged to that degree is unacceptable. He'll always be looking over his shoulder. Bad situation, unless it was Wells idea to hire Briles.

    So assuming tOSU makes CFP Playoffs, a loss on Jan 1st in the semi-finals would be our best case scenario for a faster transition to Urban at TEXAS.

    The second signing day for the 2021 class occurs on Feb 3rd, 2021. 

    Any word on whether Ewers might wait to sign until February??

    Ewers is a junior and Class of '22

    Region was tougher this year, the only team he was able to beat convincingly in the Playoffs was Gladewater. But they've been overrated since making the move to 3A. The West, Mineola, Malakoff games could've all went either way, got incredibly lucky. Then loses to Jim Ned of all fucking teams. 

    Don't sleep on the Indians. They had a pretty good QB back in the day.

    I mean...not really. It claimed that but it only governed a small part of it (only the eastern part of the current state). Sending our dudes to secure that part of New Mexico did not go well.

    Texas history talk not going away.

    Yes, I recall Woodrow and Gus didn't get the gold in Santa Fe.

    ND under Kelly may be ND's ceiling at this point. I get we have been shit for a decade now but the ceiling at Texas is a step above the ceiling at ND simply due to geography (and maybe some academic shit).

    While Kelly > Turtle, I can't get too damn excited about him as our new HC
