1) DL in both leagues
2) automated zone
3) wild card game should be a 3 game series
4) I wouldn't mind a (slightly) shorter season

do it!! Do it now!!!
my 5 year old runs around the house saying this in his best Arnold voice. He has no idea what it's from - he's just heard it so much from me.

I'm no defensive wizard, but apparently our $1.7M defensive coordinator isn't either. I can't for the life of me understand why he is married to this 3 DL tite formation with DBs and LBs playing wait for the snap 5D chess. It would seem that a simple 4 DL with Ossai as one of them backed by a man under Tampa 2 type scheme would work with our athletes as a base defense. Sure throw some exotic things in here and there as a change up and to keep the QB guessing, but our base D shouldn't need to be exotic. We can out athlete a good portion of the conference, and damn sure should be able to out athlete Kansas.
But we would get absolutely shredded by spread offenses!!!
Oh wait, that’s already happened. -
Didn’t listen, but I like how he seems To be blaming the coaches for the issues. Maybe he will fire some peeps at the end of the year.
Can he fire himself from “assembling a staff” duties? -

Wasn’t it P on tos that used to put together really well executed threads after each game, explaining why each play worked/didn’t? Kinda wish he was still doing that. Would really shine a light on this foolishness; might turn a few minds who think this is just an injury issue.
He became a Strong apologist and subsequently lost his mind. Poor soul, he was just too high strung.

get this cut and paste political shit off this board

We are dead last in the country in punt return yardage (-5). We have more fumbled punts than we do return yards. So that's cool.

Cross-posting this from another thread because it's pure Orlando. $1.7 million folks.

Yup. People freaking out on the coaching staff is pretty hilarious, the players were in positions to make plays - and they didn't make em.
Orlando put the players in a great position to prevent a first down in the red zone here. A true chess master.

But even if our force player played this correctly, it seems like we are just ceding the offense 6-8 yards on similar runs from this alignment.

More of the same this week with our edge scheme. We have one edge defender (a 210 IB safety) on the strong side of the formation and 2 opposing blocking backs with outside leverage. Ideally, Foster needs to not give up the outside and force this back inside. He gives up his outside shoulder and loses containment (a common theme this year that does not seem to be getting fixed, Todd). However, even if he plays this correctly, Williams likely just cuts this inside of him for a similar gain. Given this alignment, with only the QB as a backside threat, why wouldn't we just shift our backers to the strong side so this isn't a free 14 yards?

Texas defense is now #119 out of 130 in FBS. The only power-5 teams ranked lower are Kansas and Colorado.
$1.7M

But you have to adjust these stats for moon cycles and inflation. Otherwise it’s meaningless and your argument is invalid.-

Yeah. Asking Overshown to cover a nifty slot guy down on the goal line one on one seems like a good idea on the whiteboard. He was in a great position to do something. Also, blitzing our safety 15 yards from the LOS puts him in a great position to make a play. So does lining up our ends inside the tackles and asking a safety at depth to come down and play contain against an elite back with lead blockers. So many great position they were in!! If only we had better players!

if you'd like to discuss the coaches without any relation to a particular recruit, feel free to start a "coaches and recruiting" thread. This thread is about 2020 recruiting.
ok for this thread:
"recruit x said y about coach z"not ok for this thread:
"omg we're going to lose all of our recruits because coach z sucks"
or
"herman needs to do x,y and z with staff"Awesome. This thread has turned into safe space for the recruitnics to talk football without sullying themselves with the unwashed waterheads on the football board. Come wrestle in the muck snowflakes.

This defense is on pace to be the worst in the history of Texas football.
You have to look at adjusted stats!!! According to FEI's adjusted offensive efficiency per opponent-drive-quarter-possession, we are actually 55th in the country. Stop being an idiot and cite real stats.

Anyone defending our offense by using our performance against Kansas is a shit for brains that was likely defending Orlando up until last week or so. The offense is not awful, but it's not that great, particularly for this conference. We consistently refuse to run the ball with our RBs, we panic and abandon the run completely when we get behind, and we have no imagination at all when it comes to screens and misdirection. Our playcalling and clock management are also shitty.
We should instead just copy OU's offense, just like OU did to us with the wishbone. Worked out pretty well for them.

Organizations have Boards that are designed to help senior leadership make strategic decisions and to hold them accountable. Most CEOs have too big of egos to admit leadership is failing its employees, so Boards often have to step in and force changes that otherwise wouldn’t happen.
Who is the group that will hold Tom accountable and force him to make the changes that must be made?

That was an all time baseball moment and Buck and Smoltz sounded like they were at a fucking funeral. Sad.

Wait guys, it's like you haven't seen this movie (Texas Football) before.
Firing Orlando or any assistant will accomplish little in the long run if there are other systemic problems. Who hired him? Who decided he needed no analyst help? Who has continued to allow his pussy ass 3 tight i or whatever the fuck it's called to be run? Most importantly, who will hire his replacement?
Rule #1 of any organization: it always, always, always starts at the top. Orlando is a symptom of the problem. Not THE problem. Unless our head coach has a come to Jesus moment and completely reinvents himself, simply replacing Orlando will not make us a serious playoff contender.

Our defense is getting exponentially worse every single week. Fire Orlando.
If Herman doesn’t, then he’ll have wasted Sam’S entire career. Fuck this shit.
Glad you're finally on the train. However, I called out Orlando's sorry ass defense after La Tech and you said I was an idiot. Therefore, we can't be friends.
