It definitely doesn't. What it takes is competent coaching. 2022 TXST: 104 rush yards per game, 3.3 yards per attempt, 4 wins 2023 TXST: 187 rush yards per game, 4.6 yards per attempt, 8 wins 2023 OL were all transfers playing in their 1st year for TXST, and 4 of them came from FCS. 1st guy off the bench was a 4th year guy who had never started (not sure he'd even ever played on the OL - special teams only) and ended up starting 7 games due to an injury.

But for real, I'd be absolutely shocked if he left the state of Texas for his next job. I'm worried about Baylor, Tech and TCU, but definitely not Colorado.

GJ Kinne: The next great offensive mind of CFB?
GJ Winne replied to GreenspointTexas's topic in Football
Proud of the students, and the crowd overall. I've had season tickets since 2012 and it's been a tough dozen years, not only on the field, but getting fans in the stands, getting the cheerleaders and band on the same page as the action on the field, etc. Rewatching the game right now, and it's really impressive - look (and sound!) like an actual program! Can't give President Damphousse enough credit - the guy has changed the culture almost overnight. Gotta try and bring the same energy on Thursday vs Arizona State. Tough to fill the stadium on a weeknight, but I've seen a lot of buzz from folks who made the decision to attend based on yesterday's W. Traylor: "Their student section was fantastic, by the way. It was deafening down there, so much props to them." -

Sold out at 28K. We lost 2K seats to rearranging the donor seats last year. This is right before the game - crowd definitely thickened up. Great atmosphere. -

GJ Kinne: The next great offensive mind of CFB?
GJ Winne replied to GreenspointTexas's topic in Football
He went against the numbers and did not move up to the P5 job when he had the chance. Once a G5 coach hits 10 wins, they either move up or get fired within the next 3 years. The exceptions are the ones committed to a long term stay, and produce results - Pat Hill at Fresno, Boise State w/ Hawkins and Petersen. It's unbelievably hard to be a consistent winner at the G5 level. Harder now w/ NIL and unlimited transfers - all our good players get sniped. I think Traylor is committed to staying until the job he wants opens up, and I think he can keep winning 9+ games at UTSA to avoid being fired. He's in a uniquely good position. Fuck them birds. Good to finally get that W. Should be at least our 3rd, but fuckery and whatnot. -

Battle for Interstate 35 Texas and Texas A&M are finally renewing their conference rivalry this season, but it might not even be as Texas-centric as the I-35 Rivalry between UTSA and Texas State. The two schools, less than 60 miles apart, have a lot more in common than just proximity. Their two coaches first met in 2005 at a Dairy Queen in Gilmer, Texas. Now-Texas State coach G.J. Kinne was then a star quarterback whose dad, Gary Joe, was his coach at Canton High School in East Texas, before the father was shot by a disgruntled parent in the team's locker room. Jeff Traylor, now at UTSA, was the coach of his hometown Gilmer Buckeyes, about 70 miles away from Canton, where he had built a powerhouse that won three state championships. (The Buckeyes now play at Jeff Traylor Stadium.) In 2005, Traylor and G.J. Kinne first matched wits when Canton and Kinne beat Gilmer and Traylor 61-58 in a playoff game. After that season, Gary Joe Kinne landed a job at Baylor and G.J., whose mother and father were divorced, decided he wanted to escape the family history in town -- and his mom and stepdad opted to move to Gilmer. This came as a shock to Traylor, who had a star quarterback, Jamell Kennedy, who was committed to SMU. "We meet at the Dairy Queen," Traylor said of G.J. Kinne. "You can't make this up, now. I said, 'You sure we want to do this?'" "I think he was trying to talk me out of it," Kinne said, but he was determined to play for Traylor if he couldn't play for his dad, even noting he also had admired Traylor's work with the McCown brothers (Randy, Josh and Luke) as their QB coach at another East Texas school. Kinne enrolled then Kennedy got hurt. Kinne stepped in, threw for 3,216 yards and 47 touchdowns with one interception and rushed for 11 more scores. He was named the Texas 3A Offensive Player of the Year and signed with Texas Longhorns before eventually transferring to Tulsa, where he starred for Gus Malzahn. (Kinne also later worked for Malzahn at UCF, after working with Traylor at SMU then at Arkansas for Chad Morris, who is now on Kinne's staff at Texas State. Got all that?) Now, less than two decades since they met at DQ, they're two of the hottest coaches in the country going head-to-head in a blizzard of emotions. Traylor has a 40-14 record with two American Athletic Conference titles at UTSA. Kinne went 12-2, won a Southland Conference championship and went to an FCS semifinal in a single season at Incarnate Word, before taking Texas State to its first bowl game in history last season and winning it to finish 8-5 after the Bobcats finished 4-8 the year before. Traylor made every phone call he could to help get Kinne the job, and Kinne can't help sharing his praise for Traylor. Both have jokingly said maybe those were bad ideas as the heat gets turned up in the matchup. Last year's game drew 49,000 at San Antonio's Alamodome. UTSA is 5-0 in the series that dates back to 2012, when both schools became full FBS members, but four of the contests were decided by one score or less. When the two coaches meet Saturday (4 p.m. ET, ESPNU), Kinne will face Traylor along with UTSA's starting QB, Owen McCown, the son of Josh McCown. The coaches will be on opposite sidelines, but they are still family. Kinne -- who was in the wedding of Traylor's son Jordan, an assistant coach with the New Orleans Saints -- said this week that Jordan texted him asking whom he was supposed to root for. Kinne said he better pick Dad on that one. Meanwhile, when Kinne's daughter, Swayze Jo, was born this summer, "Jeff was one of the first people I called," Kinne said. The opposing coaches have a mutual love and admiration, but Traylor will always be Kinne's old coach. "You can't help but love the kid," Traylor said of Kinne last year. "He's good-looking. He's young. He's smart. He's the whole package. I know you're not supposed to say that because I'm competing against him. But I'm just telling you, I think the world of him, and I'll be the big fan." -- Dave Wilson -

Neither team is on your schedule this year, but this is a pretty wild anomaly. Curious if anyone has ever seen this before, or has any idea just how rare it is to be up 8 at set point and give up 10 straight to lose the set.

San Marcos BBQ ~$95 Brisket was pretty tasty - could have been a little jucier, but I also didn't ask for fatty, so that could be on me Sausage and ribs were above average Pork belly burnt ends were ok Mac & Cheese was good, not great - would order again Braised cabbage was ass

GJ Kinne: The next great offensive mind of CFB?
GJ Winne replied to GreenspointTexas's topic in Football
Chad Morris wasn't in the public rumor mill, but he was 100% considered. He made it very well known behind the scenes that he coveted the job as far back as August of 2022. At the Scholz Bobcat Coach's Luncheon he called Morris "the wealthiest WR coach in CFB" which got a pretty big chuckle. Said Morris heads up the HS recruiting due to his relationships. -

2024 Texas Football Coaching and Support Staff Thread
GJ Winne replied to RaysBoomBoomRoom's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Do you think G5 programs have extra cash just sitting around? The vast majority run at a deficit and the changes of the last couple of years have only made that worse. Total Cost of Attendance, adding coaching/recruiting support staff and social media staff to try and keep up w/ the P5, NIL (I'm aware the schools don't technically pay for NIL, but the donors do, and they are the same pockets getting hit up for these additional costs) have put the screws to the schools y'all pay to beat up on opening weekend. It's mighty Texas of you, with that gigantic budget you have, to think that additional costs benefit the poors. Anything that costs money is a negative to the have nots. Texas, and maybe a dozen other powerhouses, literally print money and don't worry about the cost of literally anything. The rest of college football has a stroke every time something like this gets approved because the gap just widens. -

This is stupid as all get out. How the hell do you think the poors can afford to pay extra coaches in waiting? -

GJ Winne replied to GreenspointTexas's topic in Football
Went to the one at Scholz and I've been to pretty much every one since Fran was hired. 1st time I've seen a coach legitimately confident in the upcoming season. I know the majority of the transfers we have are guys that didn't make it at the P5 level, but we've never had anywhere close to this amount of talent on campus. Most off the players we've had since moving up didn't even have offers from a winning G5 team. The last 2 classes: P5 - 30 G5 - 18 FCS - 18 JC - 12 HS - 19 Deeper at every single position than we've ever been. Favorable schedule w/ 7 home games and Sammie State paying us to play them at NRG. Hate that we have 3 weeknight games, but fuck it - let's ride. -
