    That's a tough call.  RIley was gifted a more favorable situation than Herman by a fairly large margin.  That has been a major contributor to his success.

    Not defensively.  It was as bad or worse.  The difference is he knifed the brother of the guy that gave him his job right in the chest, mid-season, looking him right in the eyes and telling him it was going to be ok.  He then went out and got a young, up and comer and his unit just de-pantsed the Herman/Beck brain trust.  That's the kinda shit you gotta do if you want to have an elite program.  I don't feel like we are there yet.

  2. Herman himself was an excellent OC. As a HC, he is also very good, but may not be great . . . time will tell. 

    The biggest thing holding him back is he seems to place loyalty to his coaching buddies ahead of finding the best absolute coaches for his players, feelings/friendships be damned.  Maybe he thinks the latter is not critical to building a championship program, or it's something he's not willing to do at a personal level.  Whatever the reason, that's not the choice that's been made by guys like Saban and Meyer, and even L. Riley. They have no compunction about firing under-performers for the good of the program.

    Herman’s offense isn’t the problem. The problem is he’s too arrogant to call the plays. 

    Riley doesn’t seem to have this problem. 

    (He even intimated as much in interviews. Then he had to to save his job. Now for some reason he stopped. No idea why)

    Wait, so it's confirmed now that Beck is calling plays?  I thought it's been Tom since early last year.

  4. So the police response response here was to sneak around through the backyard like a fucking ninja and then freak out like a 9 year old when he sees something spooky?  Jesus. What a total fucking idiot.

    How about, I don't know just spit-balling here, . . .  knocking on the front door and saying "Police, is everything OK?"

    West Virginia gained 190 yards against Iowa State today.  Missouri, Kansas, James Madison, and Iowa State all had markedly better defensive performances against West Virginia than we did.

    This is not the new normal for football in 2019.  This is a bad Texas defense.

    I pointed out something very similar in week 2 after Grambling held La Tech's QB in check much better than we did, and I was told by a know it all on this site that I was an idiot.  I think we are starting to see this isn't just youth and injuries.  Orlando has put together a really poor defense this year (and most of last year), both in terms of its design, and how our players execute it.  One reason we have so many missed tackles is our LBs and safeties are so out of position on so many plays.

    It’s a good read but I think that’s not Scipio Tex anymore writing in that account. Paul left that site and someone else ghost writes for that account. 

    I doubt it.  He does a weekly podcast with Kevin Dunn and on the podcast he frequently references his writeups from BC.  I doubt he would be carrying water for some ghost writer.  

  8. The fact that Herm brought in Gerg fucking Davis to be an offensive consultant for the OU game should have told us all we needed to know about how this gameplan was gonna look.  I want to to believe in Tom, but sometimes he's just too mensa.

    Thought D played well. They defiantly kept is in the game. Our O was the problem today. 2 TOsand 0 points.

    I'm talking more macro over the past season and a half.  

    As for today, I don't think anything about our defensive approach went "well."  We were lucky to only give up 34 points with the game plan we trotted out there.  OU should have put up 50.  I agree our O was shit as well though.  

  10. I'm sadly becoming more and more convinced we will never consistently contend for the Big 12 with Orlando as the DC.  We just can't rely on our defense to stop anyone in big games, at least the type of offenses we see regularly in this conference.  Maybe the 3 man line bullshit is great in conceptual Nirvana land, but it has sucked for us this year.  No pressure on the QB, no soundness in gap assignments, and way too many plays where we give opposing offenses a free 15 yard run down the field against air.  Couple that with poor tackling fundamentals and a secondary that busts every 3rd play or so, and you have a shitty, unreliable defense.  It's not just injuries and youth, as the experts would have us believe.

  11. ^yes, we should have run the ball with our backs more.  Herman has a tendency to abandon the running game, just like Greg Davis did. 

    Take our our shitty playcalling and add in some bad OL play, and you have today's offensive performance.  I think it's fixable though. 

    The defense, on the other hand, is schematically unsound and our players have terrible fundamentals.
