I got negged by three people for posting Casey's highlights from the Alamo Bowl when many of you were convinced Card is much better. That's the QB who won a game for us and could be starting the first

Then I got negged by 10 posters for making fun of one of those 3 people who went on a rampage negging my other posts. That was hilarious! Some of you have serious anger issues. You should see someone about that.

I have put all of those on ignore because I don't know you and I don't care for your takes either and it seems like you have a personal vendetta or perhaps I remind you of someone who did bad things to you as a child. Seems like some of you just can't wait to neg me. You always have the option to put me on ignore if you don't agree with me. That's what I did now that I know who you are. 

I am happy to discuss with other posters who have their anger issues under control, have a sense of humor, and are willing to get out of their comfort zone. 

Lastly, I dig FutureMan's jokes. He is one of the smartest posters here. To @Futureman:

Y'know you could post less. That is an option. You do you though. Don't think twice about hitting the reply.

That 159 will surely hold up to many hot sports opinions. 

What was I thinking?! POST MOAR.

I would but these are the same folks, so it's personal for them. I like ignore option better.

I remember the neg bomb I received for voicing my concern over Strong bringing Shaw Twatson with him...   

Just let it go and you will be just fine.

Just saw the video of Omeire getting hurt in practice yesterday. Casey under threw him on a go route and it looks like he was hurt when trying to adjust back to the ball. 

Trying to pin Omeire's injury on Casey feels like a bit of a stretch, don't you think?

  I think the last 8 or 9 Offensive Coordinators came to this same conclusion. They gave up what got them the job, and just ran the Greg Davis offense you are describing. I would rather go 0-11 than see that shit again. I just want to see agressive football, throw the ball down the field - if it gets intercepted fuck it. You really want to see screens? Is your post a joke? JFC

You would rather go 0-11 than to put up over 400 yards per game? Weird flex. it was a maddening offense but we had our best stretch in 50 years with it.

Yeah you can’t just drop this and bounce…

Well if Omeire has a torn quad he won't be bouncing any time soon. Hopefully it was just scar tissue that popped. It can be scary and take a few days for the knee to feel normal again.

Not blaming him at all, just saying what I saw on the video. I could care less wether Casey or Hudson is our qb. All I want is to win. 

Since you could care less, that means you do care. Would you say you care a little or a lot? I’m going to assume you meant couldn’t care less, which would indicate you give no fucks.

I was going to pass up on the neg fest, but in my skim of your whining I happened to read your last sentence. You should feel bad and I feel bad for you.

Bunch of pussy ass bitches in this thread today. Some of you should be lucky I’m not the admin because I would be giving 24 hour breaks for being such gigantic weeping vaginas. The offense is going against a pretty good defense with a stout Dline that is basically seeing the same shit everyday. They should be struggling, we’d be in much worse shape if the offense was dominating the defense at this point. Also I’m sure the coaching staff has only shown so much when the practices are public. The only real issues is the WRs drops but I think that’ll take care of itself when the WR rotation is set. I still maintain this team won’t be worse than last year. Some of you need to get a grip.

That's the bar? I hope they didn't shell out all those millions just for "no worse than last year". If Sark is just going to deliver 8-9 wins should have just kept Herman another year. 10 plus wins is the floor. Especially with this schedule. 

Now that we know the sec thing began last year their pursuit of Meyer makes more sense

From FootballScoop:

https://footballscoop.com/news/15-most-important-2021-pete-kwiatkowski-texas

The 15 most important assistant coaching hires of 2021 -- No. 1: Pete Kwiatkowski, Texas

Quote

 

A decade of mediocrity, an impending SEC move and a work-in-progress offense mean the eyes of Texas are upon its new defensive coordinator.

Back by overwhelming demand, FootballScoop will once again examine the assistant coaching hires that will have the biggest impact on the college football season and the coaching job market in the 2021 season and beyond.

Who: Pete Kwiatkowski 

Title: Defensive coordinator/outside linebackers coach, Texas

Previous stop: Washington defensive coordinator/outside linebackers coach (2014-20)

Why he's important: The way Steve Sarkisian put together his defensive staff wasn't exactly conventional. 

Normally a head coach hires his coordinator first, then works his way out from there. Sarkisian hired safeties coach Blake Gideon, passing game coordinator/corners coach Terry Joseph, and D-line coach Bo Davis two weeks before securing Kwitakowski. 

And ideally you'd like your new staff to have a base level of familiarity with each other. Save for Kwitakowski and co-defensive coordinator/linebackers coach Jeff Choate's time together at Boise State, none of these guys have ever worked together -- with Sarkisian, with Kwiatkowski, with each other.

Is this an all-star staff? A collection of parts that may or may not fit together? Yes.

Either way, the general consensus is Sarkisian hit a no-doubt home run with his all-important opposite-side-of-the-ball coordinator hire. 

It's never a bad thing for a Big 12 defensive coordinator to have mastered the Air Raid, and that's precisely what Kwiatkowski did at Washington. In five Apple Cups against Mike Leach's Washington State, Kwiatkowski's defenses

That doesn't mean anyone in Austin can kick their feet up and declare Lincoln Riley's offense solved, but it's the best foundational point one can ask for given the circumstances. 

"Well, I think Pete, in his time — what he did at Boise State under (former head coach) Chris Petersen as the defensive coordinator and the success he had there, and then going over to the University of Washington, the success they had there — in my competing against him, he's always been a thorn in my side, going against him," Sarkisian said in April. "I think it's a very attacking-natured-style defense, especially up front. I think the secondary plays with a ballhawking mentality. And he stresses fundamentals — he stresses technique. And I think that was something that we needed."

Many moons ago, Kwiatkowski won the Big Sky defensive player of the year award as a 255-pound defensive lineman, collecting 15 sacks and 24 TFLs, so it makes sense that he built a defense that, above all else, specializes in getting the absolute most out of guys like him. 

“We’re a big believer in, football’s not that complicated,” Kwiatkowski said told the Seattle Times in 2017. “There’s a lot of nuance and detail that goes into what we do, but at the end of the day it’s about striking blocks, getting off blocks, tackling, covering. We try to keep it that simple with our guys so they can play fast."

His former boss Chris Petersen also praised him as a "no ego" guy -- “He’s one of those few guys that I’ve been around that all he wants to do is do the right thing for the team and the defense" -- ideal for a new staff blending together different ideas born out of disparate experiences. 

The Longhorns defense showed a marked improvement in its one season under Chris Ash, jumping from 98th to 27th in yards per play. The defensive line and secondary project to relative strengths -- Alfred Collins, the defensive tackle who intercepted a screen pass in the Alamo Bowl, projects as a backup right now -- and Kwitakowski and Choate should be able to turn linebacker into a strength as well.

And this defense had better be a strength, because the season, the program, heck, the near-term future of the entire university are highly leveraged around how this defense preforms early in the season.

Allow me to explain.

I've written on this previously, but the expectations on this Texas season begin at 100 miles per hour and never really slow down from there. The 'Horns open with No. 23 Louisiana, an 11-1 team that returns most everyone from last season, and then go to Arkansas for the biggest Hogs home game in years.

Three weeks later, Texas goes to Fort Worth to face an improved TCU team that has, frankly, owned UT since joining the Big 12. (That's sure to be a warm welcome, don't you think?) The week after that is Oklahoma.

Texas can be a top-25 level team and still find itself 3-3 at midseason. Which would be a total disaster.

Recruiting is going okay for the new Sarkisian staff -- not great, not terrible. With 17 commits, the Horns rank 11th in 247Sports rankings, well off the pace of Tom Herman's first full class that finished No. 3 in those same rankings. Sark and co. haven't gotten the new-car-smell that many new coaching staffs get, because it turns out after a decade of mediocrity the best players want to see results on the field.  

Two of Texas's top 25 recruits are currently committed to UT -- No. 17 Bryan Allen and No. 22 Jaydon Blue. The staff lost Dallas-area cornerback Terrance Brooks to Ohio State and Beaumont safety Bryce Anderson to Texas A&M. They're still in the running for 5-star corner Denver Harris, 5-star guard Devon Campbell and 5-star receiver Evan Stewart, but if the Longhorns don't win early, each of those players have options -- and all of those options are in the SEC.

In the past, Texas could lose a player to A&M, Alabama or LSU and that player would cease to exist, at least in the burnt orange field of view. Not anymore. The SEC move has upped the ante in recruiting, where losing a recruit not only means you don't have that player, you now to have to play against him. 

The SEC move doesn't just up the ante in recruiting, it dials up the volume across the entire university. The consensus across the country ever since the SEC's annexation of the Red River Rivalry is that Oklahoma is joining to compete and Texas is joining to make money, because that's all UT has been good at for the past 11 seasons. Again, a decade of mediocrity has consequences. 

If Texas is already one of college football's favorite punching bags -- "Texas is BACK, folks!" -- can you imagine what life will be like if UT joins the SEC and goes 6-6? How do you recruit then? 

No, Texas has to be competitive the moment it joins the SEC, which means it has to recruit well, which means it has to win straight out of the gate next month. And considering the offense, at least the passing game, appears to be a work in progress with two quarterbacks competing to be a first-time starter -- "(N)either guy played up to the standard that I that view as acceptable," Sarkisian said after UT's first scrimmage Saturday -- the defense has to carry the team early, with the weight of the entire university on its back.

And that's why Pete Kwiatkowski is the most important assistant coaching hire of the 2021 college football season.

It's nice to have a Herman apologist on the board. Makes everyone else look smarter.
