  1. No doubt he had a HUGE influence on recruiting. Many of our signees this cycle were guys that Texas and A&M had committed before the coaching changes, and he was able to scoop them up for us.
  2. Way too early in the season to start sniffing our own farts, but some solid pitching efforts so far. 17K last night, 15K in the opener. Shitload of new faces on the team - 27 new players on the roster.
  3. It's the resume of an assistant coach following opportunity and using relationships. When he showed up in San Marcos, I was less than impressed and wondered how this guy was even in coaching. Dude has moved up a level in school or coaching rank at most every stop and did pretty well as a DC his last 2 stops. 2014 - Elko was the DC at Wake Forest, and that's the key to most of his movement. Mind you, he wasn't a position coach here, just an assistant/GA. 2016 - Withers is hired at TXST, and that staff was random af - you could tell he was pulling in guys from anywhere. Santucci is done w/ GA, ready for a full time gig. 2017 - Elko gets the DC job at ND, takes Santucci w/ him as an analyst because he's not ready to be a position coach at that level. 2018 - Elko gets the DC job at aTm, takes Santucci w/ him as an analyst because he's not ready to be a position coach at that level. 2019 - Lyle Hemphill gets the DC job at Wake. Hemphill was the DC at Stonybrook in 2012-13, where Santucci was coaching S and DL under him. 2020 - Elko hires him as LB coach at aTm, gets promoted to Co-DC when Elko goes to Duke 2023 - Elko hires him as DC at Duke, and he actually does a pretty good job - 2ppg and 26 fewer yards per game than 2022 2024 - Pretty sure this is the 1st job he got w/o a relationship, and again, does a pretty good job - 4ppg and 95 fewer yards per game than 2023
  4. A shady redneck who fucks, you say? He'll fit right in down in San Marvelous!
  5. Baseball team with new Maroon and.....Gold??? jerseys.
  6. Keopple to OC, Martinez to WR. Think we're just short a ST coach now?
  7. How Leavitt matched up against Texas State:
  8. TXST held him to 62 yards total and 2.6 yards per carry. Texas is going to fucking dominate that bitch.
  9. 100% good with bad - we're scoring more points than we ever have overall, so hard to complain...but that's what fans do, no? Especially fans of a team that had the potential for 10 wins and ended up 7-5 w/ some really poor showings from the offense. I put East/West playcalls on the OC. I put 3 straight runs when 1st down got you 1 yard on the OC. I put trying to run a 5'9" 185# RB between the tackles over and over on the OC. I've said it plenty before - our offense doesn't idle very well at all. It needs to be aggressive to work properly, and sometimes Mack just goes into putt-putt mode. The 4th quarter against Arizona State was maddening. Scoring 14 @ODU who gives up 28ppg was brutal. Scoring 17 at home vs Louisiana after having them beaten in Lafayette last year only to choke that way was crippling. After the last 10 years of 2 and 3 and 4 wins, it feels wrong to complain about 7 wins, but the reality is that we coulda, shoulda, woulda had at least 2 more wins with better offensive gameplans/playcalling. I don't think there's any question it's Morris. We're not going to bring him in to be the veteran on the staff and then hire over him when he has the resume he does.
  10. That would be fine with me. Shouldn't be for another couple of years with GJ's contract extension. If we can keep him for another 3 years and then hand off to Morris, that feels like the continuity we haven't had since Fran, but with a much higher ceiling.
  11. On one hand, we're the #6 Total Offense/#11 Scoring Offense in FBS, on the other, I put at least 2, and maybe 3, of our losses on his playcalling. Somewhat reminiscent of Greg Davis frustration pre-VY. Looks like Chad Morris will slide into the OC spot. Nice to have a guy w/ that kind of resume on the staff to tap.
  12. No one has any clue what the contract looks like until the details are released, but I highly doubt it looks anything like Traylor's. I don't think we'll front load it, and I don't think we're letting Kinne go for 25% of remaining when he's poached.
  13. It's also kind of funny to see a fan of a team coached by a guy making $10M+ per year, calling a $2M contract "big". I mean, I get it, but it's still a bit humorous.
