I don't think its a prayer, I think you'd find out rather quickly if Terry could do so or not. I don't think anyone is suggesting we lock Terry up long term based on this year. But the unrealistic expectations some of you are setting for him to get the interim tag removed is asinine. Terry bleeds burnt orange and in my personal opinion at least deserves another year to prove if he can hack it at this job if he takes this team to the second weekend.
How do we know Terry wouldn't be able to roster build here at Texas without even giving him one year to do so? Did Beard already have guys lined up to replace all the experience we were losing this year that are now bailing?
Would you have this same take in evaluating Beard's performance if he was still the coach? Would Beard be on your hot seat if we didn't win a championship this year? Terry can only play the hand he is dealt, I don't understand handicapping his performance this far into the future. We haven't been to the Sweet 16 in almost two decades, what school would get rid of their coach for achieving that feat?
I would think he favors Worthy because he is one of the better players on our entire team, and no doubt the best WR on the roster. He was bad in the bowl game, no doubt about that, but the kid didn't have a terrible season, and had one of the most stellar freshman seasons at WR that we have seen in some time. We see sophomore slumps in college football all the time, not sure why some of you are ready to write Worthy off as a finished product. I hope he comes back and both him and Ewers have a monster year next year.
Brooks looks like he is going to be a stud. Really need someone to emerge as a real play maker at safety, and Ford needs to be paired with an athletic play maker at LB.
A lot of people want Deion to fail for no real reason besides hating a guy they don't even no personally. I hope he succeeds, I also hope they beat TCU. Not sure why anyone here would be rooting for TCU to win that game.
I was commenting on the play that ended around the 5:05 mark. The play you are referring to I generally agree, I’d prefer to see Worthy attack the ball, but I wouldn’t say it was poor effort.
Also after the play at 3:28 Worthy lays out for the next two targets (drops one) and catches the other while also having his face mask pulled. But yeah the kid lacks effort. Also Worthy basket catches a bit too much for my liking.
3:28 he had no idea where that ball was, 5:05 there was nothing more for him to do there and that was a very poor throw. If your expectation is he should be able to make a play on that ball then I’m going to assume you’ve never had to run and catch a football in your life.
Care to highlight the plays you felt he gave up on or had a lack of effort? Also in what ways did he display a "look at me!!" attitude? In a season where most WRs would have visibly displayed their frustration on the field after repeatedly getting open and being overthrown Worthy did not. He also did not have to take on PR duties, would have taken on KR duties if it was up to him, and was always a willing blocker down field. I guess everyone sees what they want to see. Also what did Worthy do publicly this season to make it known he is a gun for hire?
