  1. We have played like a team that got embarrassed in their previous game. Need to bring the same level of energy every game.
  2. Did anyone know that Disu hadn't been recruited by Texas out of high school?
  3. Disu is in last year's tourney form.
  4. Weaver and Disu bring it every game.
  5. Well, that's a rational take but that's not what some other posters are saying. Yes he did a phenomenal job last year under unique circumstances but that doesn't mean he would be a good long-term coach. This is a thread to discuss his shortcomings as a coach and why he deserves to go. Why do you have a problem with that? Why try so hard to project long-term coaching success based only on last year while ignoring his entire coaching tenure under normal circumstances? That's what I have problems with. Just admit that we probably made a mistake and let's just hope we are not stuck with this situation for too long. If he is not good enough to get an extension, then obviously he is not good enough. Why prolong the inevitable just for the optics?
  6. Nobody can take you seriously when you make the kind of arguments that you make in support of RT. I actually don't mind the coaching job he has done so far because I think it's to be expected given his long resume. Some of you are trying too hard to make him seem like he is not and never will be. Might as well come out and state the source of your irrational bias so we know what we are dealing with. Edit: what do you think is more likely? RT gets canned in 3 years or get an extension? Since you think he is so great, you must think he would get an extension.
  7. It's nice to see that Coach Terry now has enough money to hire his social media and fan message board promotors. He should send Christmas gifts to Beard every year for changing his life.
  8. There is so much wrong with these arguments and you know it. Rice was the first game after the Beard news and OU is our arch rival. Why would any objective person point to those games as evidence that the program was a mess? It's like saying Michigan was in bad shape for the way they played when Harbaugh was suspended.
  9. It's not football where you need a few years to build the program. In this age of NIL and transfer portal, you can instantly build a winning program if you're good and have the donor support. I think it's time to rethink the 5-year minimum contract. The good thing about RT's contract is that it's equivalent to a 3-year price tag ($5M per year) for a perceived good coach. Hopefully, there are offset clauses that will make the BO even less. Texas can get rid of RT wihtout much hesitation when it comes to BO, but as is often the case, they may not do it because of the "optics."
  10. If you think this year has been bad, wait till next year. It's only going downhill from here.
  11. But, but that was because of the mess CB left.
  12. Most of us saw this coming other than perhaps 3-4 posters who still keep defending RT and keep finding some silver lining in every chance they get. They were cheering the JAG transfers after RT missed on the priority targets and lost the two 5 stars who lobbied to get him hired. They were telling us how dare we presume to know more about coaching than the current and former players and recruits who were lobbying for RT. Really? Facts and data over emotions, all day.
  13. We could have paid the dude a big bonus instead and he would have been hired away by another unfortunate program.
  14. We have played KU tough in recent years, but I am not holding my breath this time. This team, especially Hunter, tends to play with low basketball IQ. If Hunter has a good game, then maybe we keep it close or even win. Really hoping for a good game.
  15. If Texas makes it, the committee will also put Ole Miss in the same bracket. if they are a bubble team.
  16. He will get a raise in a few years if he keeps winning, so I doubt his salary remains at these levels if he is still coaching at Texas in 2030.
  17. I still don't think he is an eloquent speaker. He doesn't have a commanding voice.
  18. Despite this ugly loss, I am not too disappointed by this team and the coaching job RT has done so far. I guess I was expecting it to be a lot worse, so in a strange way, I don't mind this season too much. We are a middling team capable of causing some upsets, and if we get a favorable draw, we might win a game or two in the tourney.
  19. Houston is a terrible matchup for us. We need to recruit more physical players.
  20. The rout is on.
  21. Love Disu's game and heart.
  22. We are fighting hard but it's hard to play against their suffocating defense. They also seem bigger and more athletic than us at every position.
  23. We didn't pressure Penix at all. You would expect a QB of his experience and caliber to be on with virtually no pressure and weak secondary defending the pass catchers.
  24. Hunter is a major liability at this point and he is not showing any sign of improvement. There must be one student on campus who can play better PG than him.
  25. Disu to the rescue.
