That list is depressing af. Every single one of those guys downgraded. Combine them with the other 7 who haven’t found another school and that was 20% of our roster last year.

That's 1,937 snaps on offense and 809 snaps on defense.

Apparently the rest of ncaa has agreed, we had to play with a serious lack of quality.

Not to beat a dead horse but Seven Loss Steve and Pete Kan’t Koach Kwitkowski should have gotten more out of those guys. Smu, Houston, Texas state…are fucking power houses bud. Ha. What a crock of horse shit. Those guys fucking sucked shit through a straw and Vince fucking Lombardi couldn’t have turned them into winners with Tom Landry and Bill Walsh as his coordinators.

Stop being a moron. Most of the guys who left were not major contributors. That list shows the churning of the bottom half of the roster. An above average coaching performance gets last year’s team to 7 or 8 wins. 
 

When your team goes 5-7, there’s plenty of blame to go around. The roster had issues and the coaches still underperformed with what they had.

Kwiatkowski's squad gave up 50 points and 420 yards to a 127th-ranked scoring offense averaging 15 ppg, and a game-winning conversion to a walk-on who had literally never played an offensive snap before that night.

Save the excuses.

We almost lost to Kansas with the 2004 team, gave up way to many points and had to win in the last 10 seconds. That team had Derrick Johnson on it. Greg Robinson had like 5 first rounders playing for him. We almost lost to Kansas with that team. Casey Thompson and Vince are similar I know but you can only expect so much man. We were due.

I’ve spent the last 10 minutes looking for the write up claiming Whittington is one of the fastest guys on the team and has hands comparable with anyone. @LTtxfan you remember this one? It was some insider’s take on the respective talents of our players, not sure if it was posted in the spring or roster threads on the Football board. 

And yeah, yeah, a player’s greatest ability is “availability,” and Whittington has been less than available over the years. We get it.

Been busy... I think this it

Spring Football Preview: Receivers

By: Joe Cook and @EricNahlin

Ahead of Steve Sarkisian's first spring as Texas head coach in 2021, there was good reason to think the Longhorn wide receiver room had competitive top-line talent but lacked quality depth. With players like Jordan Whittington, Troy Omeire, Joshua Moore, and Jake Smith, Texas could rely on those four in a potent offensive system and then hope someone else would render themselves serviceable.
 

2022 Texas Longhorns Spring Football Preview: Wide Receivers

Inside Texas looks at the wide receiver position in an installment of the Texas Longhorns Spring Football preview series.

 www.on3.com

Insider notes

There’s a good chance this will be the most improved group year over year. Xavier Worthy isn’t just a fantastic player, he’s also emerged as a team leader. Before Isaiah Neyor arrived he was likely slated to play boundary receiver but he’ll move all over. He’s the fastest player on the team as measured by MPH top speed.

The second fastest is a bit of a surprise, but it’s Jordan Whittington. Or is it a surprise? Whittington is a powerhouse and is in the best condition in his time at Texas. If he stays healthy…that’s always the question for him. He has the slot locked down.

Isaiah Neyor has impressed with his agility, route running, and work ethic. All that’s left to hear about is him winning one on one versus the quality corners. Sources view him as a future draft pick.

Things have been quiet regarding Marcus Washington but rest assured he’s working. His improvement has been gradual, yet noticeable.

Two players we’ll be monitoring closely throughout the spring are Troy Omeire and Jaden Alexis. Those two rehabbed together and Alexis’ work ethic helped push Omeire through his second setback. Both have worked with the team through winter offseason, but neither is at full speed yet. A fully healthy Alexis is one of the fastest players on the team but he has not returned to that form.

Recruiting the position

Between last year’s struggles and the staff’s portal activity, you can tell wide receiver is a major priority. That’s been the case in previous cycles but Texas has not been able to capitalize for one reason or another. There’s a good chance that changes in this class as there’s reciprocal interest with more quality candidates than there’s room for. Look for the staff to try and add four or five from this list: Johntay Cook, Jaquaize Pettaway, Jalen Hale, Braylon James, Jonah Wilson, Kyle Parker, Jaden Greathouse, Jalen Brown, Rico Flores, and DeAndre Moore Jr.

Cook has seemingly been at the top of the staff’s wish list and it’s no coincidence he’s become close with Arch Manning, the nation’s No. 1 overall player as measured by the On3 Consensus. He has a spot until he signs. Texas should be considered the favorite but A&M is working to keep pace.

Some of the others are in direct competition for the same scholarship.

Most of the above players will visit Texas over the following weeks. Expect UT’s positioning with each to become even more clear in that time.

Proof that you can never believe any off-season practice reports. What exactly did Washington improve upon? From dropping everything thrown his way to catching once or twice?

Equivocate all you like, but sarvanaash crushed your weak shit and that is fucking embarrassing. There is no defense for many of the failings of last season. You either know that and you’re being purposefully obtuse or you don’t know that and you haven’t a fucking clue about the game you profess to follow religiously. I don’t know which is worse, but spare us further nonsense either way. Thanks.

Cross-posting Roach's pabulum re: Diamonte Tucker-Dorsey.

 

Spoiler

 

 I checked in with a source regarding the visit of James Madison transfer linebacker Diamonte Tucker-Dorsey. His visit will wrap up tomorrow following a meeting with Steve Sarkisian. I've been told there are times during the visit where the Texas staff was given several strong indications but others times it seemed like Tucker-Dorsey was still up in the air. Texas will have a chance to close the deal tomorrow morning and add a linebacker to the roster.

Yeah man it was a joke, proof that you can play awful with the best QB to ever play college football and almost lose to Kansas. Bama v aggy last year if you need another. Now take a roster chocked full of Herman mental evals, a new coaching staff, Thompson threatening to quit at every turn, and it’s just an absolute shit show of a circus. If we look the exact same this year then I’ll logout and just lurk. Our staff is too good and we turned over 30 plus players for us to look like that again. Call it me being obtuse or whatever makes Close To Chaucer feel better. This is my hill to die on. I think our staff is bad ass. 

Kansas was, if not good in 2004 at least not an abomination. Mangino was their coach. The same Mangino who led them to an 11-1 Orange bowl season once upon a time. It wasn’t covering ourselves in glory for the 04 team to struggle as much as they did with them, but it was wasn’t like the idea of losing to Kansas was inconceivable in that time period.

The 1953 New York Giants were horrible. 3-9 and last place even though they had five Pro-football Hall of Fame players on the rooster: Frank Gifford RB, Emlen Tunnell DB, Tom Landry DB/P, Arnie Weinmeister DT; Rosey Brown OT; and Charlie Conerly QB (College Football Hall of Fame), plus All-Pro Kyle Rote WR.

In 1954 Tim Mara hired an assistant coach from Army to be the Offensive Coordinator. That assistant was Vince Lombardi. Mara also made Tom Landry the Defensive Coordinator (player/coach). Vince Lombardi and Tom Landry, under Head Coach Jim Lee Howell took that 3-9 last place team to 7-5 and 3rd place. In 1955 they went 6-5-1 and again 3rd place.

In 1956 Tom Landry and Vince Lombardi (Howell HC) won the NFL Championship.  Two of the greatest football coaches of all time needed the third year to win a championship.  That 1956 NY Giants Championship team had five Pro-football Hall of Fame players on the rooster: Frank Gifford RB, Emlen Tunnell DB, Sam Huff LB, Andy Robustelli DT, Rosey Brown OT; and Charlie Conerly QB (College Football Hall of Fame), plus All-Pro Kyle Rote WR and Rosey Grier DT.

Emlen Tunnell was the first African American to be inducted into the Pro-football Hall of Fame.

Rosey Brown was an All-Pro OT and Rosey Grier was an All-Pro DT, both were African American.

An interesting side note, Lew Alcindor was a young high school basketball player from New York in 1956. Mel Triplett was a RB on the Giants Championship team. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar wrote in his 1984 memoir Giant Steps, that he wore #33 because that was Mel Triplett's number on the Giants. Triplett was MVP in the 1956 Championship game against the Chicago Bears.

They had a 4 year window where they weren't awful.

 

 

Since the start of the Big X!! they've only had 4 seasons at or above .500

The 1956 Giants had 5 future Pro-football HOF members and nine NFL All-Pros on the team. Who knows if Landry and Lombardi would have won the championship without that level of talent. What I was attempting to point out was that two of the greatest coaches of all time had a lot of talent on their Championship team and in took three years, and BOTH of them to put it all together.

By the way there were two other members of that 1956 Giants team that would go on to become Head Coaches beside Landry and Lombardi. Dick Nolan - San Fransisco 49r's and Alex Webster NY Giants.

Dude. The year before they went 5-6. That year they were 4-7. They were bad and actually in their way to being good in winning the Orange Bowl 3 years later. The current iteration of Kansas is something like the 100th best team in all of college football and probably the worst power conference team in the country over the past 3 years. If not the worst certainly in the top 5 worst. 
your response is just factually inaccurate.

You're right.  I concede that yes, they are an abomination of the highest order from 2010-current.

 

 

And we've lost to them twice in the last 6 years...and almost a 3rd time.

Fuck.
