    If Leal flips, it might be more astounding if he only flips once. I’m hoping this guy isn’t another Jordan Elliott.

    Me thinks he loved Texas, but got pressured by Jimbo. Buyer’s remorse and what not.

    LSU guy Sam Spiegelman was recently at a University Lab practice and said Makiya Tongue was playing Safety and OLB on defense in addition to WR.  Also noted that he was wearing Texas gloves at practice.

    Would sure be nice to create a small dent in LSU's backyard for a change, in tandem with a good to great season on the field.  Stingley could be a real possibility if The Rosy Finch Boyz, LLC put out an inferior product this fall.

    Yeah, it's not optimal. The best scenario was if Herman had originally made better choices in the first place, but there's nothing that can be done about it now. But holding onto subpar coaches in the name of consistency is going to hurt the program in the long run, even if it causes some friction in the short term.

    And if upgrading the coaching staff leads to more wins, that will help amerliorate some of the players' fatigue with coaching turnover.

    Better coaches in place before the early signing period?  That's a tall order and an even tougher sell, imo.

    If y'all can't realize that more than half our offensive staff is bad at coaching football, then I can't help you.  

    It's not about realizing the offensive coaching staff lacks coaching ability.  It's running a cost-benefit analysis of what the effects would be of firing half the offensive staff immediately after a recruiting cycle of selling kids on playing for the coaches they committed to.

    The real absurdity would be if anyone found any validation at all for Mehringer based on this one family's blandly positive line about him.

    At this point, there isn't a single virtue to uphold in favor of Mehringer in an argument about the efficacy of having him on staff. Anyone doing so is ignorant and lost. Mehringer was shopped this winter and there were no takers, so we know Herman isn't in love with his output. He's a mundane recruiter and worse coach. He has no history of performance to point to in which someone can honestly claim that he's the highest and best use of WR Coach at Texas. Anyone making such statements has a competing agenda, such as "your not a corches!?!" or "I stand with Herman!!!" blindly, or they're Mehringer's mother or "special roommate". 

    I would take every other P5 WR Coach in the country over Drew Mehringer at this point. I don't know how many would be better and it is hard to fathom that any are worse, so I'd happily roll the dice and take the guy at KU, sight unseen, or the guy at Vandy, sight unseen, or anyone other random shitty program in the P5. The bar for replacing this guy is below sea level.

    So why didn't Herman do this over the off-season?

    Having Watson immersed in that swirling pool of SEC slime is scary. Can’t we send in operatives to get him to Austin before December? 

    Get the vibe it's a different situation than losing, say, Watkins last year.  Seems to dig the ATX a whole lot.

    if the experts rank a kid higher it means he’s a better player.  sub-500 players are made for winning the MAC.   we’re not competing to win the MAC.  

    katfid gifs > your mom jokes > shitting in public bathrooms > paying taxes > futureman's tired-ass schtick

    Of course. Kanye went to Trump tower to kiss the ring early on so nothing he does is surprising. Chance, though, has always come across as a really good, thoughtful person. The anti-Kanye.

    He's "I'm just being both-sides nice"ing his way into supporting white supremacy, like so many unfortunately find themselves doing.

    Chance is doing a lot of work for Chicago’s inner city. He hasn’t been red-pilled.
