GJ Winne

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You're on the same internet we are. Get to clickin.

Well, it looks like you have your answer.

What's your definition of "hit"? This protects us from an easy snipe, so we don't have to sweat a winning season means losing our coach to someone w/ a little more money, and it gives us some cash back when he's inevitably (hopefully) poached away. The best thing is we are insured a stable coaching situation for the next couple of years, which we desperately need. The only downside is if Kinne turns into Spavital overnight, and I don't see that happening.

Gotta like that:

Big fan of our throwbacks.

Thanks for the name. Big week for the Bobcats on the recruiting trail - already got 3 former aTm commits as well. Pierce hire is paying off.

Apparently TXST has a commitment from a SS previously committed to Texas. Anyone have a name?

Fuck right off with that nonsense. Why would TXST want to go to a MWC that just lost 5 of their 6 best schools? Go from a very solid and stable conference with 14 teams to a shaky 8 team conference where it's best remaining program is being targeted (AFA) and the others aren't wanted by anyone else? As stated previously: location, location, location. Being the only school in a major media market with a stadium and hotels 10 min from an international airport holds a lot of weight. Having shit leadership the last 20 years didn't help. Posted in the UTSA thread last week:
