2022 Transfer Thread - It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

So, the only people to enter the transfer portal from here out (for this season) will be grad transfers and then anyone else needs a waiver, is that right?
Are expectations that waivers are going to be easier to get from now on?

 

Defense is still the biggest need, right?

Offense has most positions covered pretty well?

We have to be done on offense. We are 4 or 5 deep in quality Backe, have already taken multiple receivers, and aren’t bringing in any QB’s to mess with Ewers/Arch. Would I like a tackle?  sure. But it’s pretty obvious the coaches don’t want to mess with OL and made some promises to the guys in the last class- so be it. 
So yeah- I’d be pretty surprised/shocked if we did anything on offense. The offense should be really fucking good if Ewers stays healthy. Like 45 (ish) points a game average good. 
Defense is a cluster aspiring to average imo. We just don’t have anyone who can get to the QB. Biggest failure (maybe only failure?) of the off-season not finding someone to get to the QB.

Rod Babers mentioned this and I think I agree—the big12 seems to be trending more towards true air raid with the hires made this off-season(Dykes, Harrell, Kittley, Lebby), so our Defense should drastically improve. He provided stats suggesting that PK is about as good as it gets in the profession at defending that scheme. Also, the one good thing about rock bottom is that there is nowhere to go but up…unless you choose to stay there of course. I respect Babers and he seems to think that we will have a really good, maybe even elite secondary next season. It’s hard for me to not at least be hopeful.

He's setting you up.. he's going to come down as soon as the defense gets shredded by an air raid offense and say that PK should have been demoted/fired last spring.. with Jeff Howe saying yep in the background with a hoagie in his mouth... that is until Matt interrupts...

So realistically, how much improvement should we expect to see from the Texas defense in 2022??

If you break it down by position, on paper the CB's and safeties should be better.  Not sure how much improvement we'll see at LB and DL, and who in the hell is gonna pressure the QB??  The defense needs to improve in the area of takeaways too.  

Hopefully the 2022 Texas offense scores more points, increases their time of possession minutes/game, and reduces the number of 2nd half 3 and out series.  In theory all of these things will help the Horns defense -- at least that's my early Memorial Weekend sipping the burnt orange Kool-Aid hope...  🤘

Weren’t all of Fatterson’s best linebackers no bigger than this guy?

Took a look at TCU’s recent draft history at LB. All are taller than Tucker-Dorsey, but they’re comparable in weight—ranging from 210 lbs to 230 lbs. That’s encouraging to see IMO. 

Ty Summers (2020) 6’2, 230 lbs

Travin Howard (2019) 6’1, 210 lbs

Paul Dawson (2015) 6’2, 230 lbs

Tank Carter (2012) 6’2, 215 lbs

Good stuff you posted.

If Tucker-Dorsey is 5'10" and 215 lbs, his body can only take so much more weight before it'll slow him down. Thank God we're no longer with the Yancey school of strength and conditioning. The staff should just let him do his thing at his current measurements.

This is based off of PK owning Mike Leach when Leach was at Washington St.  Leach never scored more than 17 points against a PK defense and only averaged 14ppg in their 7 meetings.

That’s cool man. I haven’t seen anything close to that yet. I’d like to have a guy that can coach and make adjustments against any defense not just air raid. But whatever it’s the off season let the kool-aids flow!

So go back and look at PK's DFEI ratings for the last decade.  I'm not going to make excuses for what happened last season - but its ridiculous to think the guy we hired didn't have as good a resume as anyone in college football.

I don’t care what he did at Washington. That means jack shit at the abortion we saw last year and if he’s great against the air raid and that’s what we’re hoping he faces all year so he’s good then we are fucked. I go by what I see and what I saw was a shit defense. It’s the off season though so this is what we see on here every year till the season starts.

I always love this, because it is usually followed by Patterson will take over the defense and it will be better. Forgetting that last year TCU actually had a worse defense 

[Rickylovesweed 14,527]

Patterson and PK have both historically had great defenses outside of a couple years. 

So if both those coaches are heavily involved with the defense and the defense is still terrible who is the problem? I know the answer.

Why do you care if he was great at Washington yet was all time horrible at Texas? We just lost to blowu but hey guys did you see what he did in 2017? It was damn special. Who cares. Make a adjustment and get us a pass rush, quit trotting out players who quit week after week, quit saying players behind guys are worse when we are giving up 50 points. What could be worse?

No, you're just a moron and I'm far from a PK defender. 

Using 1 year to evaluate a coach is moronic but this is the norm for you as a poster. Based on your same logic, Patterson fucking sucks because of a bad year last season as a DC even though he's widely considered one of the best defensive minds in college football. The stats back that up too (FEI for example). 

Jesus, you're stupid.

Who the fuck cares where PK coached at? It's still part of his coaching resume as FEI adjust stats based on the offenses they play. Both PK and Patterson have years of success based on FEI with a couple bad years.

Hoping Charlie was a great coach because of a similarly bad year 1 as Saban was a prayer. It wasn't based on anything Charlie accomplished as a coach. It was stupid and there was no real basis for arguing somebody like Charlie would be good outside of limited success at Louisville. 

Arguing that PK has a history of success is based on facts.  I don't know why you're comparing these two things?
