Yeah, Wells returning for 2021, but without Morton I don't expect enough offensive improvement (or future potential) for him to return in 2022
Morton committed to Tech.

Art stands on his own, unless a young lady's involved; but wouldn't he technically satisfy the Leach coaching tree qualification?
I don't think Tech wants to have anything to do with Art. I could be wrong, but I just don't see it. The bad PR will be there even if he's just the OC, so if they were thinking at all of him being our head coach, it seems to me they'd have just done it now.

I'm kind of surprised anybody at all got fired, even with all the rumors. This indicates that Wells's seat is much hotter than I would have thought, at the end of just year 2.
It'll be interesting to see if Wells is pressured to hired a Leach disciple to be OC. That might be the only way to placate the mouth breathers.

I am not saying that Wells is necessarily a great coach and there are no guarantees how he will turn out, but anyone with an actual clue about football should know that Kliff left a steaming pile of shit as far as recruits and recruiting (unlike what the same morons think Kliff was left with) and the players are playing a shit load harder and not quitting at all in any game unlike with coach bro when they often quit early in the 3rd quarter
Bowman unfortunately simply cannot stay healthy, but he has brought in some pretty damn good transfers and the D is playing better than in a long time
with a QB that could stay healthy and consistency there it would stabilize the passing game and make it much better and that combined with the running game they have right now would be pretty tough to deal with
they have a pretty damn good group of receivers too they need to address some issues with the OLine and DLine, but that seems to be an issue for the entire Big 12 probably because they all insist in looking in Texas where they play 7 on 7 football and do nothing to develop lineman or defenses
Tech will look foolish firing a coach in year 2 especially this year 2 and all the more so to bring in Briles as if anyone else of vying for his services and he will not be available next year or even the year after.....all the more so when Dykes is out there probably with another season at SMU to prove he can win consistently and Tech could almost certainly lure him away from SMU
Agreed, for the most part. The rumors about Wells are really being amplified by a certain discontented section of our fanbase, who seem to have forgotten that Kliff Kingsbury A. only managed two winning seasons in his 6 years at Tech - the best being year one, with Senator Dumbass's players; B. couldn't manage to win anything with the best QB in football (because he let the defense descend to an historically bad level); and C. had fallen into a pattern of getting his teams up only to play UT and OU and then and, as you mentioned, standing by while they quit like bitches for the rest of the season once they lost those 2 matchups.

The same big money guys who want Briles badly wanted Holgerson after Tech fired Kliff. That also didn't happen.
Tech idiotically shit canning Mike Leach showed a lack of ambition in a certain way, as they didn't want to pay him even more money and let him get bigger than the AD and rest of the athletic dept, but because of that I don't see the leadership of the university consenting to hiring a sleazy coach that might win enough that they have a hard time keeping him on a leash.

A win is better than a loss.

I'd say Tech also went a bit backwards in terms of overall talent level this year compared to last, but yeah, not nearly as dramatically as Kansas. They actually had a few decent players last year.
-
Both had really big rebuilding projects in front of them when they took over last year. Whether either of them get it done remains to be seen, of course.

No bullshit - the Briles to Tech rumors are heating up in Lubbock. That would make us look like saints for hiring Meyer.
Ain't happenin.

Apparently Matt Wells got the COVID and may have to miss the Kansas-Tech game on Saturday. Hopefully he'll be able to dial up his fake punts and onside kicks remotely.

The official word is "personal reasons". It's just weird that the guy would sit out for so long and then leave just after he finally started getting to play.

And I guess Oregon State looks just like us? Or does it only work if one school is in the top 4?
OkSU has no one identifiable, "synonymous with the program" look, so it's hard for another team to look like them. And I say that as a fellow non-"helmet school" fan.

God damn our offense is like an aborted fetus mixed with watery mashed potatoes and green bean casserole
Aborted fetus is not real tasty, but it is very nutritious, sorta like brussel sprouts.

Driving home today I noticed several Trump flags still flying on houses in my neighborhood. Imagine flying a President's flag on your house. Now imagine leaving it up after he was voted out and is now making an ass out of himself about it on the world stage. Mind bottling.
We only had three houses with trump signs and/or banners anywhere that I noticed here in my neighborhood on the Austin side of the Austin-Pflugerville frontier, and two took their trump stuff down before the election. The third - notably a Latino - has kept his trump banner up and seems to be digging in for a long winter of humiliation and disappointment.

Hopefully they don't run the club into the ground like Mike Piazza and his wife did to the lower division team they bought in Italy.

Hopefully he's as good as advertised. Although I think Kliff Kingsbury's reputation as a QB talent scout and coach is deserved, the QB position has been a major problem for Tech ever since Mahomes left for the NFL.
