I'm not sure why it's so hard for some of you to understand a kid waiting to see if his brother is going to decide to transfer before committing to the same school.
Why? Is the expectation is he will have CU on TCUs level in one offseason? Strange seems some of you will be rooting for TCU in that game. I’d much prefer watching TCU getting handed an embarrassing loss.
Recruiting is telling Holland he can come in and immediately compete for a starting spot and he'll be in an offense that will allow him to score from the wing.
Recruiting is not promising a starting spot and or an offense will be centered around him.
I liked that Murphy seemed to know what the defense was going to give him pre snap and immediately took it even if it was just a dump off. Also his deep balls were the best we’ve seen in quite some time. I’m not going to clamor for him to be QB1 yet, but Ewers leash should be a lot shorter than it was last year.
Officiating in the second half completely changed this game. Also going to Allen in the post did not yield very good returns and slowed the offense down. Bishop was pretty bad this game too. Couldn't catch shit cleanly.
Idk when I watch the games it doesn’t really appear like we run a bunch of plays for Mitchell to score the basketball. Seems to me like he is out there to play defense, play in transition, and be athletic. And I’m not sure I’d agree he has regressed.
Also it seems to me some of you would balk at a FF appearance if it meant years of uncertainty with a coach you felt deserved this job instead of Terry getting the interim tag removed. Which is an insane thought IMO.
Is there some rich basketball tradition at Texas in the last 20 years that I am unaware of? What exactly is "This is Texas" supposed to mean here?
I am not opining for him to be given a one year contract or return as interim coach for one year. You give him a 3-4 multi-year contract with a small buyout(show and prove). Terry loves this school, and I am sure he understands the current position he and the school is in. I don't think he would command much and would relish the opportunity to prove he is up for this job. If he fails we can cut bait.
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.
