I’ve never seen a group of pass catchers this bad before.

Josh Moore contributed a dropped TD, a fumble, and an INT (basically).

Marcus Washington contributed two back-breaking drops to go along with his 15 receiving yards.

Cade Brewer continued his incredible streak of going down on first contact. He may be the first 5-year starter in CFB to finish with 0 broken tackles.

….

I long for the glory days when we had elite talent like John Harris and Geoff Swaim carving up the defense.

LMAO I tell my friends "whatever the minimum amount of yards possible is on a catch, that's what Cade Brewer does every time." It's not even just going down on first contact. It's how he actually finds first contact so quickly.

To his credit. He tried to hurdle a defender today. It was a spectacular failure, but he tried.

Probably the best day for this group. Addition by subtraction.

Need a bunch of the younger guys buying in going into the offseason.  Hopefully SARK can hold things together enough to add more weapons and toughness -- like what Worthy showed vs Kansas.

Reports: Steve Sarkisian, Texas parting ways with offensive assistant

Griffin McVeigh•about 1 hour

According to multiple reports, the Texas Longhorns will be parting ways with wide receivers coach Andre Coleman. He will be the second offensive assistant to leave the program, with running backs coach Stan Drayton accepting the Temple head coaching job.

Coleman was originally hired by Tom Herman, with Steve Sarkisian deciding to keep him on his staff. He has only made three stops during his coaching career, stopping at Youngstown State and Kansas State before Austin. Being the receivers coach at both schools, Coleman was also the Wildcats’ offensive coordinator during the 2018 season.

Recruiting has been the main gripe surrounding Coleman, especially in the 2022 class. Of the top 10 receivers from the state of Texas in the On3 Consensus, only one signed their national letter of intent with the Longhorns during the early signing period. Schools such as Houston, Michigan State, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M were able to take advantage.

So...  I don't have all 22 access, but does anyone know how much RPO we ran off Outside Zone?

Iirc, Sark is an Inside Zone RPO guy. Marion's GoGo has more outside zone rpo.

Our best run game was OZ and we struggled with IZ runs, which probably limited the RPO game as well.

So, my wishcast is that Sark can get on board with an OZ RPO game, whether in 2 back go go or not...  (But I think we definitely should go with more 2 back, even if it's a Hybrid HB/RB from time to time... Until we find kickass TEs to make a 2 TE sets more valuable.)

Sources: Texas set to hire Pitt's Brennan Marion as receivers coach

By  FUCK CHIP BROWN        16 hours ago

Quote

Texas' strong 2022 recruiting brings optimism after a year to forget on the field.  Brennan Marion, a rising star assistant who coached Biletnikoff Award-winning receiver Jordan Addison at Pittsburgh this season, is set to become the new receivers coach for the Texas Longhorns, sources told Horns247.

An announcement could come as early as Friday, following Pittsburgh's Peach Bowl game against Michigan State on Thursday night.

Horns247 reported on Dec. 19 that Texas coach Steve Sarkisian was replacing receivers coach Andre Coleman, who spent three seasons at Texas - the last two as receivers coach - following the Longhorns’ 5-7 season, according to sources close to the situation.

Sources told Horns247 that Sarkisian and Coleman didn’t see eye-to-eye on recruiting. Texas had three receivers in the 2022 class decommit, including five-star Evan Stewart, who ended up signing with Texas A&M, and four-star Armani Winfield, who signed with Baylor.

Marion, who is considered a tenacious recruiter who builds strong relationships with top targets, inherits a Texas receiving corps led by freshman All-American Xavier Worthy, who caught 62 passes for 981 yards and a UT freshman record 12 touchdowns in 2021.

Marion has risen up the ranks as an assistant after introducing his unconventional “Go-Go Offense,” which combines tempo with triple-option run concepts, while Marion served as the offensive coordinator at Howard (2017-18) and at William & Mary (2019).

Marion’s Go-Go Offense, which helped Howard to a 7-4 record in 2017 after winning just three games the previous two seasons, features a dual-threat quarterback in the shotgun with two backs lined up next to each other on one side of the quarterback. The tempo, unbalanced looks and triple-option running concepts create matchup problems for the defense and have been studied and sampled by the likes of USC’s Lincoln Riley and Arizona’s Kliff Kingsbury.

In 2020, Marion served as the receivers coach at Hawaii under Todd Graham, who coached Marion at Tulsa when Marion was a two-time All-Conference USA receiver in 2007-08 and led the nation in yards per catch (31.7) in 2007.

Marion, who has also coached quarterbacks and running backs at previous stops, joined Pat Narduzzi’s staff at Pitt as receivers coach in 2021. In his one season with Marion, Addison (6-0, 175) had a huge sophomore year that included 93 catches for 1,479 yards and 17 touchdowns.

Addison edged out Alabama’s Jameson Williams and Purdue’s David Bell to become Pitt’s third Biletnikoff Award winner, joining Larry Fitzgerald (2003) and Antonio Bryant (2000).

Pitt had a record-setting offense in 2021, led by Heisman Trophy finalist quarterback Kenny Pickett, who completed 67.2 percent of his passes while throwing for 4,319 yards and 42 touchdowns with seven interceptions.

The Panthers won the Atlantic Coast Conference and earned the school’s first New Year’s Six bowl berth in the Peach Bowl against Michigan State. After an ACC championship game win over Wake Forest, Pitt offensive coordinator Mark Whipple accepted the offensive coordinator position at Nebraska under Scott Frost.

Marion began his coaching career at the high school level after a series of knee injuries ended his hopes of being a receiver in the NFL. Marion coached receivers at West Valley College in Saratoga, Calif., in 2011 before joining Graham at Arizona State in 2015 as an offensive quality control coach.

In 2016, he became the running backs coach at Oklahoma Baptist before joining former Virginia coach Mike London’s staff at Howard as offensive coordinator in 2017.

At Howard, Marion unveiled his Go-Go Offense and was part of one of the bigger upsets in recent college football history when Howard, a 45-point underdog, beat UNLV in 2017.

With Cam Newton’s younger brother, Camilyn, at quarterback, Howard, which had won three games in the previous two seasons, racked up 449 yards of total offense (309 on the ground) in a 43-40 upset of UNLV.
