    In theory you turn over 20-25% of the roster every year. So bumping that number up and thinning out poor performers / bad locker room guys is the right move. Especially if you can backfill with experienced dudes from the portal. 

    I don't disagree, I'm just hoping the portal is more productive for us than it was last spring. K-Rob is pretty good, but limited in the passing game apparently, and the DEs we got are JAGs. My complaint is we didn't start weeding out the bad fits sooner.

    But, better late than never.

    Online book finally paid off my preseason bet on aggy win total of 9½.

    [spoiler Alert] - the UNDER hit:

    "STRAIGHT BETMU - [59710] TOTAL u9½-112 (Texas A&M vrs Texas A&M)"

    I had a similar bet with an aggy fan who thought it was their year. Easy money

    Why would Matt Rhule want to take a pay cut and give up the professional status that comes with being an NFL head coach if he doesn't have to? NFL head coach much more prestigious than college head coach.

    More pressure and longer hours in the NFL, for starters. Quality of life for a CFB head coach is better according to Spurrier, among others.

    I hope Rhule stays in the NFL another two seasons just in case and is interested in UT when we have to cut bait with Sark.   

    I thought Rhule was a lousy hire when BU made it at the time, but that Yankee can coach.

    I like how everyone's saying Riley is a flawed coach and other coaches have figured out his system yet he's continually dragged his nuts across our face.

    So glad to be wrong. In the week of coaches getting 10 year deals go ahead and bump Jimmy Back up to whatever you need to and make the end date open ended.

    I guess sometimes it really is a marathon and not a sprint but last year he looked like he was going in the wrong direction.

    Go blue.

    Michigan was bad last year during Covid, but Big Blue never went 5-7 under Jimmy

    Wanna trade?

    With my Mean Green winning, Ohio State loss and Bama losing this is shaping up to be a great day for football.

    Now we need an LSU win over aggy and it'll be a great CFB day

    Watching the Iron Bowl now, and I can’t help but think… if you locked our 11 defensive starters in a room with Bama’s 11 defensive starters and told them “no one is allowed to leave until all players from one team are dead”, I’m confident all 11 Bama players would walk out of that room unscathed about 2 minutes later. 

    Hell, our guys don't want any part of Iowa St either.

    1. We didnt have enough good players to run people off.

    2. The coaches were smart to spend a year on seeing who will step up and lead next year.

    Maybe so, but I think turning over 30% of the roster now is going to set Texas Football back another year or two. Sark won't be around to reap the benefits in that scenario. Our boosters and fans aren't that patient.

    But, I don't know what he promised Hartzell, Eltife, and CDC during his interviews. I doubt anyone saw 5-7 coming, though.

    This is quite accurate.

    But I’m not sure who the bad apples are. Think many Thought Coburn was. But he blew up 3 of 4 short yardage plays yesterday. So what does that say.

    I read that the new staff wanted Coburn to drop 20-30 lbs and he refused to do it. No doubt, he's capable in short bursts. But, he probably lacks the conditioning needed to do it consistently well.

    Show me where you said to get rid of him during spring. No one said that. It’s so fucking stupid. 

    It's not unreasonable or unexpected for a new HC to run off guys immediately if he doesn't like their tape, character, or fit. The point is Sark didn't do much, if any, of that last spring. But, maybe he believed they'd reform or "coach up" Foster and others.

    Regrettably, we found out he couldn't.

    Yeah, they won two titles with coaches who are abject morons.  Riley would be the first coach in their history that's a progressive offensive coach.  Les Miles ran a high school offense that had problems with basic passing plays.  Riley would be a monster there.

    That being said, I'm still surprised if he leaves.

    Ogre gave Joe Brady freedom to run their offense and it was pretty damn progressive...and impressive. That's why 2019 was LSU's best in spite of his shortcomings.

    Agree that Riley will be awesome there. He'll bring in a good DC.
