    I regretfully checked in with my guy and suffice it to say the perception is not that this is some calculated Mensa move to delay announcing the coaches. There is growing anxiety that we have no idea wtf we are doing. 
     

    I can say that there is a growing frustration in the locker room for this same reason.  There has been no communication about what's going on with the coaches, and players are realizing that they are playing a bowl game for a bunch of coaches who probably won't be here come January.  Morale is in the shitter, to say the least.

  2. Defensive position coaches were given very little opportunity to teach technique...most of the defensive time in practice was spent working on the 847 different blitzes we tried to run.

    Position coaches repeatedly approached Orlando asking for teaching time, and he said no.  Apparently he's equal the egomaniac Herman is, if not worse.

    During games, our defensive scheme was so complex that players spent too much time thinking about where they are supposed to be.  Thinking athletes are rarely successful.

    ***These are all facts, not speculation***

    Stop saying “if Harrell comes here and Herman gets fired, he could get the HC job”. That’s just not going to happen. When was the last time that Texas fired a football head coach and promoted an assistant to head coach? That would be never.

    And maybe that's the problem.

    Harrell could come here and dramatically improve the offense and have a shot to take over the big job if the defense shits itself again and gets Herman fired.

    **Cough** TEXAS **Cough**

    I still think there's a good chance he's our version of "Lincoln Riley" if hired.  Win or Lose, Herman will outwear his welcome at Texas (he's probably already there), and if Harrell has the offense clicking, he could be in prime position to be elevated.

    Agree. Dude knows his shit and will be a HC somewhere in 2 years, whether its in Texas or elsewhere

    Yep, and I'd lay money it's Texas.  Harrell will be liked by all (good ole boy Texas demeanor) and Herman will continue to be despised by most cause he's a dick.

  6. I have a gut feeling that if we land Harrell, we will be getting our own version of Lincoln Riley.  When Herman inevitably gets shitcanned, Harrell takes over and away we go.  To me I'm just getting those vibes the more I read about the guy.

    Not only this, but the new coordinators will want some say into their assistants. Once this OC and DC have been hired, there should be other moves regarding assistants.

    Ironically, I just got a text from my inside person (same one that gave me the earful in October about the Eagles issue).  Beck and Warehime will stay on through the bowl, but then are out.  New hires will be made by the new OC.  One of the new hires could be someone already on staff, but that's pending other issues getting worked out first.  Hand and Drayton are safe.  I asked about the defensive side, and there has been no word on Giles, Washington or Naivar long term.  With these they are probably going to be interviewing for their jobs with the new DC.

    Did Washington not catch any heat at all for the db play? I get the injuries and all but they were terrible. Especially with turning and playing the ball.

    We have to retain a few coaches who can help get us to the bowl game.  I think a second purge will be done right after the bowl game.  The only person left that is shocking to me right now is Warehime.  Seriously, WTF

    Ash runs a 4-3. 

    If it's Ash (or even if it's not), I hope BC is out on the trail starting at the houses of Broughton, Collins, Fillinger, Dorbah and Umanmeinlen to start the conversation about moving to a 4-3.

  10. I made these two posts on Oct. 28th in the Fire Herman thread:

    Quote

    Facts:  Herman has completely lost the lockerroom.  It has become an us vs. them scenario, where players have quit on or given up on the coaches.  Look no further than Sam's "we need to come together" comments, or the Brennan Eagles situation (which resulted in an argument between him and Meh).  I'll go further and say that people should start connecting the dots between the transfer portal and players who are "wanting to redshirt".

    Quote

    Straight out of the lockerroom actually.  I was talking to someone yesterday about the game and how the team took it, and followed up with a question about Brennan Eagles.  All of the info I gave was in the answer about Eagles.  I was also told that several players have been pleaded with to not enter the portal, and as I said, there are a few who are thinking about redshirting this year to save a year of eligibility to enter the portal with.  I was told that the biggest problem in the lockerroom is that what Herman preaches is not what's being practiced.  From Herman --> Coaches --> Players there is a lack in execution of expectations.  Some players are required to follow them, some are not.  Some coaches hold their groups accountable, some don't.

    100% matches up with Anwar's Twitter post earlier today about a certain coach.

    Listening to Kevin Dunn and Scipio podcast from this evening gives me hope that TO is gone. Bad news is Herman is likely picking the new coaches. 

    I could see Naivar, Giles and Meekins sticking around as part of the off the field staff.

    Which podcast is this?  (name)

    I would say apathetic and arrogant more than ambivalent.  

    This!  It's 100% arrogance.  The guys on the Hornscast podcast talked about this very thing, that our HC's arrogance leads him to the opinion that we are just better than everyone else, player for player, and thus we should just line up beat the people in front of us.  They talked about how our playbook has had no wrinkles added since LSU, personnel groupings are the same per play, route trees are the exact same, etc.  They said it's so basic and so obvious that really we don't even have to tip the plays, but that are tendencies are so lopsided we are easy to defend.  I really don't understand how and why Herman is so smug and arrogant, it's amazing really.`

    Yeah, fuck that.

    I didn't say I agree, just that I think it happens.  He's being given somewhat of a free pass due to injuries, plus the past few weeks being better overall.  I think an absolute disaster against either Tech or the bowl game, or both, might change that.  But as of right now I think he'll get a pass to next year.

  14. Here's what I think will happen...

    OC - new hire

    RB - Drayton stays

    OL - Hand stays

    TE/ST - I think this is the wild card position...if Beck wants to stay, he gets assigned here and continues to be an ace recruiter.  If Beck is out, then I think either Corby Meekins gets reassigned back to this position or he is let go and David Beaty gets the spot.

    WR - new hire  (hopefully Samples)

     

    DC - Orlando stays

    DL - Giles stays

    LB - this position is created by dropping an offensive coach

    DB - one of the two stays, not sure which, but if I had to guess I think Washington stays with CB and we get a new safeties coach  (possibly Ash)

    So Chip thinks Joe Brady is a possible OC candidate....fuck this guy is useless.

    Isn't everyone a potential candidate?  In theory at least?  Currently Brady is making no money with no title...call him on Saturday morning and make him say no.  Give him a pay raise and title bum, beat LSU to the punch.

    And in reading that, Chip Brown is actually pretty accurate on a lot of that info.
