    I think ya’ll should ask Gerry but preface it with “we all know that Rivals/Orangebloods is the only truly accurate ranking, am I right?”

    So CSB alert, but I was doing a five day Prolon fast with a group a few years ago and my first meal after the fast concluded was at Pieous. I ordered five pizzas, a pound of pastrami, and probably ate about half of everything. The stomach distress to follow, however, took years off my life.

    Ah, that Hershey meeting--I just got chills remembering Hamm's performance and the amazing writing. I recall thinking that Joan was just done with Don's self-centered behavior after Jaguar, even if those decisions made her better off. It was that he took control and made those decisions for everyone else that caused the bitterness.

    Ah yes, the first rule of fortune cookie writing is to allude to two opposite outcomes so your predictions are never wrong.

    They seem to REALLY like Alabama’s class.

    I think it's really dry, but I also abstain from cheese and condiments on a burger so that's probably also to blame.

    I really like June’s All Day, although when I went last week the updated cocktail menu was disappointing and kind of out of season (ingredients and recipes looked like summer leftovers). I also want to try Chapulin Cantina because Oaxaca cuisine is the best.

    @SydneyCarton might need to switch to decaf.

    I was going to bring up “trust the coaches” as up there with “Natty” on the list of things Longhorns* shouldn’t say but I didn’t want to pick on any recent offenders. *Aggies, by comparison, can’t help themselves.

    Not to be an external skeptic but I recall feeling this way about post-Muschamp Mack hires. On the opposite side, I think Sarkisian (regardless of what he’s paid and did last year) has a lot less institutional leverage and if it ends up being a mediocre hire he’ll get pressure to upgrade. As @SydneyCarton mentioned, I do like the DL coach on the Dolphins and Fangio is a top tier coordinator. If we’re hiring based on what they’ve done over the last 12 months then it’s comparable to a Wright hire without the legacy story.

    Haha, if what @YGIFS says is true then this is very much an accusation as confession.

    Let me give you a different bit of analysis--buyers (and maybe some sellers) now know that the Fed pivot is here. The Fed isn't raising further short of something extraordinary and that's making it easier for them to drink the Koolaid that there's a refinance to come before the end of the year.

    That's got to make him a shoo-in for next year.

    The one I thought was a little interesting (who knows if attainable) when researching a response to @SydneyCarton yesterday was Austin Clark with the Dolphins. Daryl Tapp with the 49’s and AC Carter with the Rams both had interesting resumes but not necessarily superior to Rod Wright’s.
  16. LCHorn
    Just for some context, this is also coinciding with A&M paying whatever it takes on the DL and raising the NIL cost for everyone else. I think some of the direction UT/Davis’ took in contrast was to play to his strengths and get in rawer players that he could groom for several years (and hopefully avoid some of the arms race and chemistry issues plaguing other teams).
  17. LCHorn
    Well, prepare your anus. Apparently only full blown excitement is acceptable today. @SydneyCartonIf I have time today I’ll try to do a little research and at least suggest one name who I like more based on their resume and who isn’t obviously not a candidate, just since you issued the challenge.
  18. LCHorn
    Look man, I don't want to start mincing words but you're kind of forcing it as a rebuttal--expressing skepticism is not "shit(ting) on Rod Wright as a hire". Did I write something like "comparable coaches to Bo Davis are littered throughout college football" and now I need to support that? If you want to take on disproving that as a research project, be my guest. Your whole post is just a straw man argument.
  19. LCHorn
    Because we have a third year Terence Brooks and his cousin that both appear worthy of starter snaps and with a senior Gavin Holmes and early enrollee Kobe Black that presumably have some expectation of playing time. Plus, the gossip was that Jahdae Barron wanted to compete for CB snaps so he could put that on film for the NFL. Meanwhile Bama just lost it's starting cornerbacks and Nike has decided their previous NIL restraint was holding back Oregon.
  20. LCHorn
    Are you trying to make a point predicated on an impossible knowledge of who might be available for Texas? If Rod is the hire are you taking it on faith that anyone with a better resume might have been unrealistic? Was that your position when Sarkisian wanted to hire Mike Stoops? (presumably) Look, I'm not going to pretend I know who is a good coach and why, beyond what I see on paper--that's not my profession and after hiring a bunch of folks in the past few years I don't feel entirely confident on why one worked and another didn't. That said, I would look for traits--apprenticing under good coaches, particularly at high profile, peer level programs even in a junior capacity. Maybe doing time at Sam and UTSA is a great training ground but it's also redolent of the Gideon hire and I'm skeptical on that one, too.
  21. LCHorn
    Yes--I think it's a better resume through that point. You could also make the comparison that Bo Davis, 13 years into his career, had established a reputation has a high caliber DL coach with 6 years at the main guy at either Alabama or Texas. Rod, by contrast, has one year at Miami and this year with the Texans that might be comparable in terms of responsibility or a resume builder. That's just not the same level of success.
  22. LCHorn
    LSU as a grad assistant and then assistant coach at North Shore-I mean, if we trying to Moneyball this shit we’d have to agree that’s really good clay as a starting point. Moreover he wasn’t hired to coach the DL, he was hired by Saban to be an assistant strength and conditioning coach (which was probably a way to skirt the rules on assistant count as I’m sure he was assisting with the position). Plus that gave him three years under Saban, learning from the best program builder of all time before he was fully responsible for a position group. Rod, by contrast, has a resume of being just an ordinary Joe working for primarily offensive minded head coaches.
  23. LCHorn
    I’m still skeptical that want to replace Bo Davis with someone that has Rod Wright’s resume.
  24. LCHorn
    Back to recruiting, Wells’ most recent update made it sounds like Muhammad is unlikely. We’re not going to guarantee starter level snaps and he needs that or a clear depth chart to build his film.

    The Stephen King Thread

    LCHorn replied to dcbc's topic in Books

    For those of you Dark Tower fans, who is a realistic option today (I.e., 1970’s Eastwood isn’t an option) to cast as Roland in the Flanagan Amazon adaptation?
