2024 Texas Football Coaching and Support Staff Thread
He developed himself into a five star HS DT prospect, big time contributor at Texas, and eventual draft pick and NFL player. Now, he's developed himself into a pretty good coach worthy of being considered as the DL coach at his alma mater. He's also young enough to relate to most of these guys while still commanding respect. He doesn't have a ton of skins on the wall as a coach, but I'm sure he can sell what he's accomplished so far in his life.

Worthy was also playing very hurt in that game and couldn’t break like he normally does when healthy.

They’re cousins, but they’re so close that they might as well be actual brothers

People can improve/decline year over year. People can also perform differently in new circumstances. Lots of moving parts right now.

2024 Off-Season Thread
Chatman, Akana, and Walton aren't going anywhere. Burrell probably sticks around unless he doesn't see a path. I could see Holmes leaving if he gets in a dogfight in the spring. If we get J. Muhammad, M. Muhammad and T. Brooks would split time in the boundary, and M. Muhammad could easily spell J. Muhammad when needed. That leaves Holmes, Roberson, Black, and Mack fighting for snaps in the spring. I could see Red leaving as well. Competitive spring upcoming. Hopefully everyone stays healthy.

They gotta beat Oregon and Penn state on the road with Will Howard at QB. That defense is gonna need to carry them. Or hope for BoB creativity to get the offense right. I also think Dillon Gabriel is the best QB in that conference right now.

Better Ohio State than Georgia. We’ll play him again in his last year if he stays after Day gets fired or leaves

He was buoyed this year by 5th and 6th year players all over defense and 6th year Penix throwing to 3 really good receivers. They have like 6 losable games next year as things stand. They lose maybe half of those if Milroe stays healthy.

Niblack isn't Sam LaPorta, but he’s a willing blocker out there. That should be enough to become serviceable before he departs the 40. As long as he keeps his head on straight

He's also a below average recruiter in the south without a strong NIL foundation behind him. If he doesn't win enough early (2 years), it's gonna get ugly.

Transition is tough, it's even tougher since they specifically chose to live in Tuscaloosa to get coached by Saban. The value proposition has changed and DeBoer isn't the guy to convince them otherwise. On top of that, they can make better money, live in a better town, and potentially get better development by leaving. Not a hard decision if that's why you came.

2024 Off-Season Thread
I assume you're counting the Buck and Jack in your 140-150 snaps per game. Don't forget we had Jett Bush and Mo Blackwell rushing the passer from the SLB position at times too, so there are plenty of ways to get more pass rushers out there in the 70 or so defensive snaps per game.

Sucks for that kid, must be hard to look in the mirror while watching Milroe have the success he thought he was heading for. I still remember those offseason workout vids where he looked a step or two below the guys he was going through drills with.

He played with Donovan smith, Samuel brown and Joseph manjack last year. My point is that, in the past, we’ve seen WRs further down the depth chart (B. Thompson) whine about the WR room getting crowded. It’s good to see him supporting all the new people who could potentially reduce his targets this year.

2024 Transfer Thread - The Pedantic Circlejerk
This is already a better WR room than last year. Will they produce like it? Who knows. The drop off from Sanders to Niblack is probably a solid one, but it’s hard to determine the kind of output he and Bond would have in a more competent passing offense. At the very least, he provides a different look in the red zone and on money downs. The team needs to gel over the offseason for things to really start to take off.

I originally assumed Matt Golden was coming here to have more of a target share than he has in his career thus far. I’m glad he’s good with all these other receivers coming in.

Or you have an opportunity to shore up positions on the roster that would have been question marks heading into the season The talent on campus at these positions is young, unproven, or both. Jabbar Muhammad would put us in position to cross train Brooks at the other db positions if needed. Having all that proven performance in the secondary and at WR makes it easier to evaluate the young guys there too. Iron sharpens iron.

Didn’t they tamper with guys like Jameson Williams, Jermaine Burton, Eli Ricks, Jahmyr Gibbs, etc?

Blue can also give you formation versatility out of a number of personnel packages due to his hands and route running.

Clark looks shorter than I expected. Or maybe CJ grew a bit.
