  1. Agree. Turning up your nose at that is outrageously dumb. E.g., if you can fill your free roster spots that would otherwise have scholarships at another P5 program, then all of your practice reps are now against guys who are P5-level athletes. It raises the floor of your program and elevates your other players' development based on who they're going against.
  2. Jacksonville probably in need of some offensive coaches.
  3. Bitch, who the fuck do you think you are to second guess Bill O'Brien's personnel decisions? Sometimes you just gotta trade De'Andre Hopkins for David Johnson.
  4. If they voluntarily leave, there is usually no obligation to pay a buyout. In fact, depending on the contract language, the next school may owe Texas a buyout. In the case of firings, there are usually mitigation clauses (i.e., dollar-for-dollar or percentage offsets based on amounts earned in the next year), but it all depends on the specific wording of the contract.
  5. Can you imagine Charlie Strong trying to dissect and gameplan agianst NFL defenses? "You just look and see that Bill Belichick over there, and it's just about the way he gets those little receivers the ball and they're so fast."
  6. I actually think he likely considered it the opposite: In the NFL, you can lose games and it doesn't derail your season. And if you have a particularly bad season, you're compensated through draft picks. For a guy that has had to avoid any losses in the college game to be considered "successful," that's way less stressful.
  7. And the slow play in letting him go saves Texas from having to pay his buyout. Somewhere Steve Patterson nods approvingly.
  8. I know there's been some talk back and forth here of whether Texas might try to throw its hat in the ring with Morris. Didn't he play on the same high school team as Kenyatta Watson? Pretty sure I remember the Woody from Toy Story local news dude emceeing their joint commitment ceremony. Wonder how Kenyatta's bad experiences under Herman would affect any consideration Moirris would give Texas.
  9. I wonder if he has slept since Monday, yet? He looked pretty rough yesterday.
  10. What, exactly, does this mean? Also, if we're looking to fill out the personnel department, we really ought to think about picking off some of the guys that Baylor has been making hay with the past few years.
  11. This is quite an understatement, given that folks were worried that he fucking paralyzed himself in the Tech game by trying to jump over a defender.
  12. Posted this in the 2021 thread but it probably actually belongs here.
  13. Is this satire?
  14. I love RoJo and his selflessness, but if LJ came, he would pass RoJo on the depth chart by the end of the year--just like Bijan did.
  15. While I'm glad I didn't have to watch a puppy die after opening this thread in the morning, can you fuckers take the "who invented fajitas" bullshit elsewhere?
  16. V disappointed she did not add, "Respect my decision"
  17. This is fucking stupid. Saban could roll the offense back to the Greg McElroy days and insist on winning 9-7 rock fights every week, and he'd still win the SEC and make the playoffs every year.
  18. the old 5-0-6 defense, huh?
  19. This is the oldest thing I've ever read on this website.
  20. This is all fine and good in hindsight. But no one was thinking/posting this at the time.
  21. Should've listened to Holden Caufield.
  22. I distinctly recall thinking that Strong had an utter lack of ability to string two sentences together, but figured it would be "fine" because his Louisville teams showed he had a real nose for talent. I recall being very impressed by Herman's (especially in comparison to Strong's) and thinking that he said all the right things.
