    well I don't agree. the yelling(assuming it isn't done after every loss) puts you on notice and is effective in that vein. its what happens during the week after, that determines the effectiveness.  It will effect some(likely most) and not others. 

    I do believe that hard coaching is less effective with the portal.  it gives a much easier out(than the old sit for a year) for the player(who usually ends up where he would have anyway) and in some respects for the coach as well.

    The hierarchy still exists, though.  some will thrive and some will dive.

    Crappy scheme,coaching, or gameplan does not excuse not trying or just quitting on the team in a game.  That's all on fhe players...It's one thing to lose if your trying and giving your all, but these punks lose because the first time they get punched in the mouth they fold like a paper bag. They don't have any pride and don't care about their teammates who are trying.  However, it does not mean the coaching is still good.  The coaches should have the pulse of the team and know when there are morale issues like this and address it before it shows up big time in a game..I doubt these morale issues started overnight.

    The thing is, I don't see a crappy gameplan or scheme. I've been watching the games this year, and I see players consistently put into position to make plays.

    Which the players then fuck up.

    I have been wrong as fuck before, but I don't think it's the coaching. It might also be the coaching. But it's the players for sure.

    Complaint about not showing enough emotion on sideline. Check.

    Complaint about some vague notion of halftime adjustments. Check.

    You just might be an Aggie.

    Spirited leaping about and shouting by the HC wouldn't change a single play from this season.

    We have winning plays called in the second half with absolute failure to execute.

    I'm frankly baffled at why the team is so bad. It goes deeper than a first year coach. I stand with Bo Davis. We've got a busload of 4-star dilettantes. Is that the family atmosphere our players project to recruits? Is that the prevailing culture?

    Again, I'm stumped. I recall Quandre Diggs noting how too many football players at Texas don't seem to love football. 

    May be time for a return to shit drills.

     

    3-star dilettantes.

    This leak might have a positive effect overall, but a lot of stuff wouldn't.  There's got to be a level of trust that team business stays within the team.

    Yeah. This. I actually was wondering if I'd ever seen such a united response to a video before, where even our foes were saying the same things. I had to go back to the reaction to 9/11. That was pretty universal (if slightly more important).

    You can't expect a leak to have this kind of reaction. Also, given that "shouldn't have leaked out" is PART of that universal reaction....

    One well deserved ass chewing, by one coach, at this point in the season, answers that question decisively...but they might not be the right coaching staff...but the players need to get their shit in gear...

    Logic, motherfucker, do you speak it?

    The question is, is our shitty team this year because of the players, or the coaches?

    It's not an exclusive OR. These are two questions. One of those questions has been, very decisively, answered.

    I said he just gets walked in and told he was bad. That is the corporate way and Texas is definitely corporate. I love it, but guessing this will get more attention and some bureaucrat will feel the need to do something half ass about it. I hope it doesn’t happen, but odds are high 

    Not every workplace is like yours. I live in California, by God, and I wouldn't be worried about this here.

    Probably the biggest recruiting shot in the arm this staff was getting this season. Even fucking Looch is praising it in his own backhanded way.

    r/cfb is on the mother too, and they're saying all the same things we are, all the same things our former players are:

     

    1. Coach is right

    2. fuck whoever released this

     

    no doubt in my mind the team knows who did it, and man, I'm glad I'm not him right now. He'd be better off having shared a screenshot of his browser window with pegging porn in an open tab than he is right now

    Blippi exploring museums, how things are made, and showcasing all kinds of machinery and vehicles beats the pants off of cocomelon or the inane Paw Patrol type animation shows.  Bluey is on another level though, has a ton of heart and really explores healthy family dynamics

    Yeah, it's better than Paw Patrol, but when there's Peppa, Bluey, and Tumble Leaf to be had... plus the entire PBS Kids line-up?

    You (by your own admission) stuck with Charlie until the end. 
     

    Therefore, any opinion you have about coaches is irrelevant and can be discarded (immediately and righteously) out of hand.

    I don't get this attitude at all.

    I'll take the opinion of the guy who was wrong and admitted it over the opinion of a fucker who holds a guy to an opinion he no longer believes in. The first guy is getting better; the second guy is living in the past and can't adjust to reality.

    IMO the problem began with firing Mack. Muschamp ain’t coming back. He’s not. He was never going to be a good head coach. Move on…god bless America. Muschamp is not coming here and resurrecting a defense from a decade ago. Move on damn. He wanted to be a head coach and he sucked at that move the fuck on. 

    Naw, the rot set in during Mack's time. Which is why he was fired, if you'll recall. If Mack ca. 2007 was the same guy Mack was ca. 2002, he doesn't lose his job, we win another MNC, etc. But he wasn't and we didn't and we had to can him and now we're wandering the wilderness of mediocrity.

  11. Because @Nicole44 asked me.

    Disclaimer: I don't know shit, and neither do you.

    Recruiting is the lifeblood of any program. Personnel is the issue. We have a decent class coming in, not great, but what made Mack Brown successful wasn't the X's and O's (God knows) but the Jimmies and Joes. He came right in and blew recruiting out of the water because he could sell water to a drowning man.

    So, since she asked:

     

    1. Alumni need to be unified. We've splintered off into the Dalls faction, the Houston faction, etc. We are not united. Not only that, but we have a bunch of knowitalls at the higher eschelons that think that because they're good at... whatever it is that made them rich, that they also know football, too. The alumni need to be organized and unified behind the University of Texas football program in general, and not let the Coach Of The Month -- or even the current coach -- distract them from the goal of the greater advancement of Texas Football.
    2. We, the Alumni, need to put people who know football in charge and let them do their jobs.Just because you watch football every weekend and win your Fantasy Football league means you know exactly nothing.
    3. Recruiting, recruiting, recruiting. Open up the pocketbooks, show our recruits how awesome Austin Texas is, what a great University we go to, and how much fun they're going to have in Austin -- and how well-paid they'll be, too. Also, you need to put your personal politics aside. Show the kids political beliefs that they want to see, because that's what Austin provides, no matter what it is. Football is more important than politics, here. If you're "woke," ditch it. If you want to "own the libs," ditch it. The game comes first.
       

    tl;dr: 

    We need to be:
    1. Organized and unified (see above)
    2. Generous toward recruits
    3. Positive about what UT and Austin offer.

    Usually, I guess you blame the coach for losing a team or having a team that quits.

    Is it possible that the team is actually so bitchassed that it isn't a reflection on the coach?

    It's a reflection of the coaching staff... the staff that recruited and "developed" them.
