  1. “Hey recently fired head coach, we want you to be an analyst at Texas.” “I don’t need the money” ”Hoho, no no. This isn’t money for living. This is safari money. Give me a good year and I’ll send your happy ass to Africa.” ”……really?”
  2. Define success - team or individual accomplishment? Because there is a bunch of the latter
  3. If I'm Murphy, I'm going to spend the spring taking starter reps to prepare for a season as THE starter. There's no way I gamble on winning the job in fall camp.
  4. According to Kohls, yup. https://www.kohlskicking.com/player-profiles/michael-kern Kohls '24 P Rankings Drew Miller - Offered Bobby Engstler Spencer Barnett (Westlake) Michael Kern - Committed In comparing their evals, it seems they chose to rank Barnett higher on ceiling, and we know Banks prefers consistency over leg.
  5. In defense, this is clearly disgruntled fan screed. Real life is actually pretty straightforward here. Since Tressel was hired in '01, fOSU's starting QBs have been: Craig Krenzel - Sad noodle arm, had 3 NFL starts anyway. Justin Zwick - 5* bust with plenty of chances, replaced by... Troy Smith - Slow RB with a great arm who lost a payday when he won the Heisman, got fat, and was blown out by UF in the NC. Drafted in the 5th, had opportunity with 3 teams. Todd Boeckman - An actual greay shirt who was fine between Smith and... Terrell Pryor - A very good WR who carved out a decent NFL career, eventually. As a WR. Joe Bauserman - A walk-on that Fickell trusted more than his successor... Braxton Miller - Didn't even try to get drafted as a QB. Did combine drills with WRs. J.T. Barrett - Another noodle with injury issues. Barrett was a great college QB, and that was his ceiling. (touches earpiece) And he still got a shot in the NFL that went as predicted. Cardale Jones - A project with a massive arm that never panned out. Post-season heroics earned him 3 shots in the NFL ending in being cut. Recently" refused to report" to camp as the starter for the Massachusetts Pirates of the IFL Dwayne Haskins - Was an NFL starter and was horrible. Took a backup contract in Pittsburgh. Then, died. Justin Fields - NFL Starter CJ Stroud - #2 overall draft pick The data makes the opposite case - fOSU QBs are given more NFL opportunity than they deserve on merit. That Krenzel, Barrett, and Jones had any opportunity as a QB is evidence enough, but you could make the case that Miller and Smith were fringe NFL players as well, based on CFB production and tangible athleticism.
  6. I'm not entirely out on your general premise, but you're overthinking this one.
  7. Why I came back to Texas - JWhitt https://www.theplayerstribune.com/posts/jordan-whittington-ncaa-football-texas-longhorns
  8. Nope - just what we need. Another fanBoy beat writer.
  9. No idea, only pointing out the irony in offering the #4 punter from Iowa when #3 can see campus from his backyard. The Kohls player evals indicate Barnett is ranked higher based mostly on potential. Big leg, less form. Seems Banks favors consistency, which is also proved out in Trejo Edit to add: It’s also worth noting that Banks brought Trejo from relative obscurity to an anticipated UDFA. Good story to tell, at minimum. Real. Coaching.
