  1. For this to work recruiting wise Texas better be ready to spend NIL wise and the new CB coach better have a lot of energy on the road and in person. If he is a good recruiter this set up is going to be good for the longhorns.
  2. Yeah Joseph was hired to run his 2 high look for Muschamp. When Coach Boom backed out we kept the staff we hired for him. That’s why year one was pretty dysfunctional because PK didn’t specialize in cover 2/4. We brought Patterson in teach the quarters/cover 4 and he was able to bridge the gap between PK and the 2 High back end. We had our best year this past year and we used way more cover 3. That’s where PK is most comfortable.
  3. This is a Nansen hire. He was behind the surge last year to bring him on as an analyst. The plan to hire him has been in place for a while, and if Blake would have stayed and Terry still left they would have just hired him to coach CB with Blake as the safety coach. Terry was responsible for the majority of the Two High safety looks you’ve seen at Texas since Sark has been here. PK is a Man/Cover 3 single high guy. Nansen as well. That’s why you saw more cover 3 this past year once Nansen joined the staff. They want to be able to man up more and felt like the old guy was the best teacher of man principles in the secondary. Sark also has talked with Saban who told him, and said on national tv, Texas has to play more man in the backend of the defense.
  4. Can anyone find the current salaries of the above mentioned coaches? Micken’s would be a great hire, just don’t know if he will make a lateral move. He was expecting DC interest this year and is close to Marcus Freeman.
  5. I sure hope we are tampering with the two Austin kids from Notre Dame
  6. I could see that being the case. AB is just starting to figure out how to not just rely on his gifts. But he is as athletic as they come. At the end of the day I just wonder if they pick one of the two and try to match them with a safety who can play in the box. We shall see.
  7. Really hope that the N. Crowley safety gets his offer soon and Texas becomes a player in the recruitment. Former player who came through our little league program. I’d love for another one of our guys to play at Texas. Coach BG is coming by N. Crowley Wednesday and they expect an offer to go out if everything matches up n person. Ended the season really well. Great range for safety and is about to blow up ranking wise. Need to get stronger to help in the run game cause he isn’t a strong tackler right now.
  8. Milwee has play calling experience and supposedly knows the offense better than anyone not named Sark. Could he not call plays?
  9. They had some injuries outside, so they decided to just try to play their best four linemen. He is really athletic so in certain formations they play him outside at edge cause they had better depth at DT versus DE. It’s not full time, but enough snaps for him to show concern about being played incorrectly.
  10. The WR from Clemson is locked in with Clemson. He not goi g anywhere right now. Woods hasn’t officially hit the portal, but he is the guy our 9.99 people have been hinting about for a while, especially IT. I wish they could keep their mouths shut cause there are a few Clemson folks who don’t believe there is anything to worry about with losing Woods. Woods’ camp isn’t happy with his usage. He is a DT, not an edge.
  11. Is Bear trying to redshirt to transfer again? At what point does he just try to get the NFL money? I never thought I would say this, but thank you Ketchum! He blew the Bear to Texas deal.
  12. If I’m Weigman I’m transfering to Michigan. They will be begging for a decent QB and a recruiting win. They normally have good linemen and won’t ask him to run very much.
  13. Hilson is a done deal.
  14. Coach Baker has Vernon Broughton playing damn good ball, when I had already given up on him. The recruiting questions are legit but he has found a way to get something out of Vernon. Hoping he can work some magic with the young pups. January looks like he will be a good one, while it’s looking like Bledsoe and Mitchell are on the verge of washing out. Bryant definitely needs to come on soon.
  15. Hawkins may be better than Arnold but he still won’t fix the offense. The QB has to have a quality deep ball for the offense to run as it’s supposed to run. Hawkins doesn’t have a great arm and their WR core isn’t scaring anybody. They also have a million dollar problem. Between this season and last, Arnold will be closing in on 7 figures. How much will that play a role in his playing time?
  16. Watching T. Brooks man up against Neyor tonight has been interesting
  17. One of those “No” recruits on Gerry’s list recently reached out to Texas to reengage but Texas didn’t seem too interested. Said recruit’s former teammate, who is now on the Texas roster, then had a conversation with Jeff Banks on his behalf. Word is the recruit asked Texas to match the NIL proposal he currently has because he is interested in joining the Texas class. Apparently Banks is unsure and a little butt hurt about how the recruitment has been handled. The position coach would love the recruit but Jeff did a lot of work on the recruitment and the recruit resides in an area that Jeff has a lot of pull. All things hypothetical of course.
  18. You would have to think Moore is significantly better than Lockett and that may be the case to the coaches. If you flip Moore before signing day you are losing Lockett 100%. It’s not about sharing targets cause Lockett has no issue being in the same class as Ffrench. Lockett and Moore don’t like each other or want to play with each other due to some adult BS. Moore also would cost you way more than Lockett in NIL dollars. Glad I’m not a coach making the decisions and as of today Texas ain’t close to getting Moore to even think about flipping.
  19. That’s what I was implying. A great way to prove it was consensual using a “leak” which still gives you some protection that you were not the liable for the leak or release.
  20. This “leak” is interesting when you consider there is a Michelle who accused him of sexual assault at one point. The police didn’t believe it and refused to press charges.
  21. Makes sense why they are a bad team then. Love the heart Bug plays with, but he is just really limited athletically.
  22. Off topic but is Thompson actually getting playing time at Auburn?
  23. From very personal experiences, this couldn’t be further from the truth. His family is night and day different from Denver Harris’ family and that will be the big difference. Even with one parent being a “little” bit of a diva, they care, they will not force him to go somewhere he doesn’t want to just for money, and they really have kept a tight ship around him. Ask the coaches at NorthShore, he shows up and he works. That was never the case with Denver or Zach.
  24. Cam had a rough start but once he settled in he was very good again. The whole line was awesome yesterday, and that holding call was BS. excited about this year and next year. Goosby-Neto-Hutson-Campbell-Williams will be a good ass line.
