What if LJH would have stayed for this season? I say likely only 1 loss.

[El Squared 1793]

To me, the biggest difference besides defense suckage has been no one that took over LJH role.

Not only did he have receptions at crucial times, but others  like CJ played better, and as a team I suspect there were fewer drops last season that this year. Yes Duv has blossomed but imagine both of them on the field together. Just wondering about a parallel universe I guess.

[GotThatFire 166]

 We lost to both LSU and OU by only one score. I don’t think we would’ve lost either one of those games.  Probably ranked 2 or 3 in the country against TCU so who knows how that would’ve gone.  But why do this to yourself? 

[WBT 20432]

Duv would still be wasting away on the outside.  I guess Epps wouldn't see the field so it's not all bad.

[victory88 5663]

This years offense is much more explosive and better overall.  LJH was awesome but I'm not sure we were maximizing the slot position fully with his skill set.  Collin isn't struggling because LJH isn't on the field.  He's struggling because every DB is grabbing and pulling on him and the refs for some reason allow it because he's 6'6.  That and he was injured for 3 or so games.   Had he stayed I would have dumped the 11 personnel and played 4 WR sets with Eagles and CJ on the outside and Duv and LJH on the inside.  

[Nueces River Rat 5530]

If LJH could have played all 11 defensive positions at once, perhaps.  Most of our shitness has been on defense although the offense has it moments.  And most of those are due to Sam’s and Mensa’s mental farts which in most cases didn’t involve the WR’s.   Some of those INTs Sam threw to wide open DBs would be the same if LJH was on the field.   

[South Austin 52166]

LJH would’ve coached the defense?

[hookem48 4634]

maybe if we wouldn't have lost 8 starters off a shitty defense we wouldn't have a shittier defense 

[Coach pop a bitch 5459]

Dev 78 rec 900+ yards dude is killing it. The issue is Orlando 

[Hook1997 5291]

He bailed us out a lot last year, he was a guaranteed first down on third.  Passes that we’re going to be interceptions he went over the defender and caught more then once.  I agree, probably only 1 loss with him still here.  Without him last year we had atleast 2 more losses and the most obvious was Tech where he took a easy int on a terrible throw at the end of the game from the defender.

[Apex73 313]

LJH didn’t play defense.  It wouldn’t have mattered if we had him for LSU.  They walked up and down the field on us all night.  The other 2 games you might have an argument.

OU was getting 11 wins a season by just offense-ing past a trash defense.

We would have won it all in 2008 had Charles and Finley stayed

mack should have three MNC over a five year run and should be considered one of the greatest coaches in the history of the sport.

If LJH had stayed, we'd have seen an in-season suspension for grades or weed, and everyone here would be reacting like their pet's heads were falling off. So, a wash.

LJH has some uncanny abilities that CJ and Duv, singly or in combination can't duplicate.

Most notably, the ability to haul in a slightly errant Ehlinger pass and really do something with it.

He made Sam and the offense overall more effective.  CJ mostly stops where he catches it, Duv runs like a ball of hate, but can't haul in the jacked up throws.

What if the NCAA had changed the eligibility rules and Colt and Shipley had decided to skip the NFL and be Longhorns for the last 10 years?  Can y'all imagine?

[TwiceHorn 31313]

Regardless of the speculation about how he might help this year, it's valid to consider that he helped disguise the steaming pile of offensive shit that HermBeckCo have saddled us with.

This. If LJH came back, Duvernay wouldn’t be doing what he’s doing. He wouldn’t have taken the next step. LJH has been sufficiently replaced. We were always destined to have 4 losses minimum with this shittastic defense.
