But... he did that? Or did you want him to can them after the Sugar Bowl?

tbf it's less about what he wants, and about how the Brocks view things. But, if not that, what else is it (honest question, haven't paid too much attention to them personally as I really believed they were in the bag)? Are these kids just that set on striking out on their own, or where'd we fuck up? Hand can't be that big of a deterrent in this situation...

 

.. I gotta imagine it's a combo of not cutting bait sooner, and not winning in '19. Mainly not winning in '19.

(I mean, he obviously should have recognized at UH that guys like Warehime and Mehringer were dead weight, but that's an earlier timeframe than we're looking at here).

You know full well he waited a year too long to fire guys like Mehringer and Warehime. I don’t care if we won the Sugar Bowl. Good coaches still look to improve their staff even after successful seasons. It was obvious they both sucked, and he was wasting 3 spots on TE/WR. Mehringer especially had been causing locker room issues that whole time too.

We always thought having Luke on the team would help, but considering how shitty things were last season and how many locker room issues we had , it’s likely that factor has actually been working against us. Hopefully if Herman can right the ship and fix the locker room, the Brocks will be quicker to catch on to that happening than recruits without such a close tie to the team.

This can't be said enough. He'd already had an established history of driving off Hemphill-Mapps, as well as having to move Meekins to inside WR recruiting to keep LJH from leaving as well. And WR kids almost revolted at the end of this season as well. And, because he couldn't fire his buddies in a timely fashion, had the side effect of also unbalancing the coaching staff absurdly towards the offensive side of the ball as well. So by all means, lets not gloss over the fact that firing Mehinger and Captain Upper Decker happened way too late and has had long term negative ramificiations.

I agree with this.  The Brocks know the good and bad that is going on with the team/coaches.  

If the new coaches click and the season goes good Luke could help,  if not maybe not so good for us.  

I just don't think this recruitment is close to being over.

Those wings aren’t going to eat themselves. Speaking of ctj where has he been?

This story is much, MUCH better when CTJ is the actual player at lunch. Lets keep it that way, shall we.

I heard that @closetojumping was actually the one who ordered the avocado toast and then he and EJ FaceTimed Footwork King to talk about appropriate street wear attire to wear to your own wedding, as well as how great these trainers were #forthekidz! Crazy things happen when you’re 4 mimosas deep at pluckers!

Boo.  Classic case of going all Debbie Does Dallas when Last Tango in Paris would suffice.  Tsk, tsk.
