    I mentioned this in January. His family was concerned during bowl prep and bowl game timeframe cause he was basically the starter to end the season then they started Jamison in bowl game which was somewhat of a surprise. Add on top of that they added CB from Wake and playing time/fair competition was concern but that was fixed and he stayed. If it’s about money that’s a new issue but I’m sure they can fix that. He will help us win games.

    There were 2 defensive coaches who legit wanted to play Malik over Quinn last year. He can really sling the ball and everybody believes in his leadership ability. It will never happen because of the investment it took to get Quinn here and Malik hasn’t proven he can stay healthy.

    Hmmm…. Funny how all this is playing out 😂

    I really want to believe the smoke cause it’s starting to get strong from part of his camp but it’s hard because at one point Texas was falling behind big time. But to give Texas credit they are pushing the right buttons and attacking this recruitment from a bunch of different angles and I’m not even referring to the NIL aspects. From what I know Texas won’t be outbid but they are doing some serious work with mom, trainers and friends/teammates. All hands on deck for Simmons.

    Expect a few more retweet from him as well. They say the interest is real but it’s “interesting” that it’s starting to ramp up before he hits campus this week. He was also in town today because Duncanville was honored by the state’s house and congress. There are photos of him throwing up the Hook’em in the chambers. Im “hoping” somebody was smart enough to make sure he knows how much he is wanted while in town today.

    There will be some pro Texas and Colin Simmons talk coming this week. I still don’t believe Texas is the leader but expect some positive spin coming out soon

    I think it’s 100% BS but Chote is on record saying if the Poly LB was from Texas he would have been ranked higher than Hill.

    I get it. I think it’s more about what the coaches deal with behind the scene with parents/trainers and expectations around playing time. Guys start to question if you have a plan for them or value them if it starts to feel like you’re trying your hardest to replace them every chance you get. Brooks head is in a good place and the right conversations have been had with his family. But most people really think he is a 3 and done future pro as long as he can run well in combine type setting.

    Had a conversation late this week with a Defensive GA and he believes the DLine is going to be much better than last year. Better pass rush with the same ability against the run. I chalk that up to coaches talk but he thinks Murp and Bledsoe are animals. If Tapp can stop the run they will unleash him. He likes the transfer from Wake but felt it was not needed. Believes Brooks will be the best corner on the team by year end and doesn’t want the other CB starting just for the sake of starting. Brooks and his family were very confused as to why Jamison started the bowl game after Brooks had basically took the spot towards end of last year. Poly LB has the goods. All football. All the time. Long term Hill will be drafted higher but Poly LB is going to be a stud. Blackwell is not mentioned much but he busted his ass to put on weight to compete. I’ll check back in closer to end of spring and we see how things look when the pads are on.

    As of now Cam has been told he is all tackle. Neto and Campbell are going to get as much run as they can at guard this spring so that limits moving Jones to guard and Cam to first team to see how it looks. The message to Cam has been consistent tho. You’re a NFL RT and as long as you show some patience that spot is yours in the future. Monster 😂 Spell check did not help me out on that one.

    Neto and Connor is going to be the true battle this spring. If Neto knows/learns the playbook well it will be tough to for Connor to hold on to that spot.

    Bledsoe working out with the inside guys is interesting. Last year Bo and PK disagreed about where they should play him. PK thinks he could be a mister EDGE while Bo sees him as a disrupter in the middle as he continues to grow and put on weight. He started out going back and forth in fall camp but eventually was “moved” inside as season went on because he “got along better” with Bo and the inside room. I use quotation marks because that’s what I was told but they didn’t go into much detail about the getting along better comment.

    To be honest our tampering game with one of the Aggies was pretty strong. When you get to the point where people are picking roommates, jersey numbers and agreeing on NIL numbers I think you’ve done a damn good job tampering.

    Gotta give credit where it’s due, on game day it was PK show. Halftime GP made suggestions but he stayed in his role on game day for the most part. during the week tho, GP was all over game planning and practicing to implement those schemes and plans. That’s also where they would have their differences. GP only knows how to practice one way. If it ain’t intense then it’s wrong to GP.

    This is why I really want to hire Tee Martin or Wiggins from Alabama. I know people on the board are worried about recruiting or other stuff with those two but im not worried about recruiting at Texas. I want somebody to walk into that room on day one and be able to say I’ve coached multiple NFL picks/pro guys. I’ve handled the ego of a room full of studs. Get in line and and join the list of guys who are getting paid real money, or bullshit and watch you ruin yourself. Also they need some real competition in that room. Cook coming in and pushing for legit PT or the transfer WR coming in would do wonders for that room. Whit gotta be more vocal. He a lead by example guy. That room needs a vocal leader. Bad. Somebody who you fear might smack somebody for getting to far out of line. With Quinn being so quiet there was just a large leadership vacuum. Only so much Ro and Bijan could do.

    I hate when Chip is some what correct cause I hate him and don’t think he should be allowed anywhere near the team. Defensive coaches say Worthy the drama Queen was created and Marion and Sark did a terrible job managing him and played a big part in his ego and effort issues. The WR as a whole wasn’t managed very well. Marion is excellent on the chalk board and can teach the position but he was way to caught up in 1. Being more friend than coach and 2. Promoting himself. Coleman was better for the actual WR room, just was a deadman walking on the recruiting side of things.

    At this point I’m not sure Evan even believes the stuff he says out loud.

    I won’t run from the negs if my info turns out to not come true. I know I was one of the people who said it. But I heard it directly from Evan and his parents multiple times.

    Blake will forever be grateful to GP. GP invested a lot of time into Blake and hopefully continues to do so. The safety room was night and day different this year compared to last. GP’s main issue this year was he thought the scheme would get to soft at times. He too wanted to see more press looks and coverages versus some of the games where we let them have free five yard hitches and outs all game long.

    Patterson worked his ass off. Patterson and Bo Davis got really close this year because they felt like they were the only coaches who were really full of “fire” consistently. Bo has told plenty of people that GP would be more upset at practice than actual position coaches and that was a major concern. People “believe” he could have been used even more than he was this year and they hope he comes back next year.

    Roach uses that same quote about Jones being the recruiter of the year at Texas every time we have an WR opening. Legit third time he has used the same exact quote/blurb. we get it Mike.

    If I was Sark I would get a blank check and make Jeff Scott tell me no.

    Marion has been trying/begging for an OC job for months. He literally would have taken ANY OC job available. For a while in December he basically stopped recruiting because all he was focused on was getting a new job. He got his ass back focused when he realized he was getting a job at the time but he been focused on himself for a while. Good recruiter, good relationship builder but did a bad job holding that WR accountable. Some of that is on Sark as well but Marion let Worthy get away with whatever. Our receivers didn’t improve this year and Worthy actually played better under the last coach. There will be people in that room happy with this move. Hopefully Sark has somebody lined up.

    Bingo!

    Coaches originally asked JWhit, Jones, Ovie and Moro to come back. So far two of those are taking the offer. I can say that there was major disagreement between defensive coaches on Ovie so it makes sense that he decided to move on. Not all the coaches wanted him back.
