  1. But he was such a great man...
  2. I just don't see garbage time reps making that much of a difference. I'd rather us try to redshirt every O-lineman (unless there's no other option, e.g. Connor Williams). We'll wish we did 3 years from now. As for Brooks, I don't have a problem with it; if a running back is any good (which he appears to be), it's not a smart business decision to stick around for a redshirt senior year.
  3. What do they owe Jimbo, $60M? They're stuck with him for another 4 years. Traylor will be long gone.
  4. Many of us predicted this exact scenario after the Arkansas debacle--we would beat shitty Rice/Tech teams, and people would immediately drink the koolaid. If we win the next two I might have a small sip, but as of now nothing has changed.
  5. So why are we burning Conner's redshirt in garbage time? Is Imade so bad he can't be out there with a 35 point lead?
  6. Saban is a dick. Meyer is a dick. Herman's biggest problem was his shitty staff hires and dumb in-game decisions. But even despite all his fuck ups, he clearly had talent (beat OU at Houston, beat FSU in the Peach Bowl, destroyed Lamar Jackson's Louisville team, was destroying OU until turtling, and beat Georgia in the Sugar Bowl). I agree he didn't have the maturity to lead a program like Texas, but his head coaching resume is way fucking more impressive than Sark's.
  7. But Saban lost to Louisiana Monroe that one time...
  8. When you don't share the accountability (a la Herman), yes.
  9. True, we had plenty of issues under Tom. But we never folded like we did on Saturday.
  10. It seemed to work in terms of getting our guys to play hard and not be complete pussies. The problem was Orlando's scheme and Tom's turtling.
  11. Our D-line was the strength of the team last year. We lost Ossai but still have plenty of talent. More than Arkansas. The O-line obviously needs a talent infusion (which is why we should have brought in at least 2 transfers), but not one player looks better than they did last season. This coaching staff failed miserably in the offseason and on Saturday.
  12. The zero come from behind wins is bad, but what's worse is the fact that he's been down double digits at the half 19 times in only 6.5 seasons as a head coach.
  13. Being a coordinator and being a HC are two completely different skillsets. We fucked up. See y'all in 2024.
  14. I predict 4 years. I wanted Chip Kelly back in 2016. Last year, I was in the keep Herman for another year camp if we couldn't get Urban. Once it became clear we were firing him either way, I jumped on the Jeff Traylor wagon. CDC makes $2M a year... I'd be willing to do the job for half that.
  15. Agree, but that was mostly because he hired Warehime/Hand and then whiffed on nearly every top O-line prospect. But even then it was never this bad.
  16. We weren't soft under Herman. He made a lot of mistakes, but that's the one thing he deserves credit for.
  17. I was in the keep Herman for another year camp if we couldn't get Urban. The PK hire gave me some hope, but I've always been meh on the Sark hire.
  18. Good thing we've got some stud recrui.. aw fuck.
  19. Hey Flood - fix this shit.
  20. Lol so is he walking on like Michael Williams? What a slimeball coach/program/state.
  21. LSU obviously has a ton of pull in LA, but they also haven't experienced a real down period in 20+ years. It's a lot easier to have loyalty when you're putting guys in the league and competing for championships. It wasn't that long ago that Mack had TX locked down. A few down years can drastically change the perception of a program.
  22. I don't see Campbell taking that job. Imagine ISU with a bigger stadium and a fanbase that expected to compete for NC's; that's basically Nebraska at this point. The disparity between expectations and the reality of their situation is probably wider than any other program. In that sense, it's arguably the toughest job in the country.
  23. Yeah, because no one ever payed players in the history of CFB until Nick Saban came along. Have you seen Ohio State's recruiting rankings? They're right up there with Bama, yet he's won 6 in the last 11 years to their 1.
  24. Everyone else needs to get better then.
