    Before you go there take the time to see how Clemson is operating. Dabo got his ass handed to him season after season (remember West Virginia) until he implemented the “Saban” plan. And that won’t work here. Texas will not allow the Head football coach to pull scholarships, among other things, that we see down here every year simply to have a powerhouse. People easily forget that his success is at the same school Charlie Pell and Danny Ford succeeded at. Followed by multiple NCAA punishment.
  2. It has been noted many times before. But it bears mentioning. Prior to coming to Texas Herman built his entire rep on being an elite coach from winning two specific games. FSU in the Peach bowl, and OU to start the following season. That’s it, nothing on his resume suggests he is anything more then an average coach. Fuck, the argument could be made that he only beat FSU because they (FSU) didn’t even want to play the fucking game after their disastrous ending of a season. And caught OU on opening day where Oliver tee’ed off on a not yet ready offense that by months end was a far better group. Not to mention bag-o-dicks had a history of stinking up openers. this is why a proper coaching search should always be conducted. Don’t just look at a name, look at what the guy actually did. Take nothing at face value. Texas has done this same shit for years. Yes they get it right sometimes (Royal, Mack), but they miss far to often.
  3. Herman is no different then most coaches not named Saban. They are as good as their QB is. Saban is one if the few that doesn’t seem to miss on QB’s. They ain’t shiny, but they can play football at the college level, and they very seldom hurt their team. Herman was that at UH. He had a pretty good QB, and he got better results. So my guess is he is not very good at evaluating and preparing the QB position. If a kid has raw talent he can get by. The evidence is how our guys look. They are not bad athletes, they just don’t seem to have the intangibles that make for a great signal caller. They play scared, and it often looks more as if they hope they don’t make a mistake rather then confidently executing the play. I put that on the coach.
  4. I don’t get the total lack of QB development year after year. I also don’t believe our QB’s are as bad as they appear to be. But you can’t miss their expression when a big play is about to happen. They always have a “I hope I don’t fuck this up” look in their eyes. And I lay that at Herman’s feet. I want a guy who has been coached up with confidence and simply isn’t scared to fuck it up. Stop being so fucking tentative. Grab the situation by the balls and perform!
  5. Never understood that. Even here in the Deep South some smartass will say some stupid shit about Texas.
  6. Well, in fairness he doesn’t have to justify a $7 million dollar salary....
  7. We are fucked until we find an elite QB. That more then any one thing is absolutely killing us. A good QB wins this game going away.
  8. Got beat by the other guys stand in. Herman should be embarrassed.
  9. Man, I’m not taking anything away from Maryland. But it’s obvious that these days you must have solid QB play. How the state school is weak at that position is...well, fucking hard to understand.
  10. Would die on the vine going indie. No one would schedule with the playoff selection the way it is.
  11. Looked like one from the end zone camera, but not the overhead. Tough call, wish we didn’t have to hope for a call.
  12. Meh, 6 minutes left. No problem
  13. Jesus, that field doesn’t drain for shit.
  14. We’re not even executing the fundamentals well?
  15. Yeah, this is a little confusing. I’m not sure what we are trying to be?
  16. Man, if you watch enough of this shit you can quickly see the difference between a serviceable, good and a great QB. A team with both an experienced AND quality QB has a huge advantage. If nothing else just the skill to get his team out of shitty situations with a minimum amount of damage.
  17. Do what? Sure, there is always a measurable amount of improvement for every team between games 1 and 2. But, there is also programs considered historic power houses (like us) that are supposed to not let this happen unless it is against a similar opponent. Maryland, well they ain’t that.........
  18. Yeah, that was a bad idea. Love Johnson’s aggressiveness. But the ref’s are looking specifically for that foul. Being the first week of the season I fully expected that would you see a few of those across the country simply to set the tone for the year.
  19. Exactly. And it keeps the very reporters he lied to focused on OSU. If they see even a bread crumb of a story they will post/print. He lets this die they find something else to do. Though I also believe the trustee that cut and run is a problem for OSU. That guy has a legitimate resume, and doesn’t need the attention. By submitting his resignation along with a statement reiterating that the punishment was not severe enough is a very big deal to me.
  20. Damn, some of you are really passionate.
  21. Anyone with an IQ higher then a cheeseburger knows OSU is on the ropes with this story. There is dissent in the ranks, as apparently there are a couple of people associated with that shit stain program that are capable of thinking about more then just themselves. And they (OSU) will gladly throw anyone under the bus at this point to get this thing behind them. Fucking with Herman is the outlier. Why? Why bring someone who has been gone for a couple of years into the conversation? Logic suggests that both parties have information that could at the very least could embarrass the other. Yet OSU thinks this is a solid strategy? I believe they made a mistake mentioning Herman. Ok, he had to answer to the strip club story, but that is over. Now what you got? Not to mention that I also believe that other coaches in what most consider a fraternity of sorts. Will (if they have not already) side with Herman on this. Meyer is going to find himself on an island by trying to shit on other members of the same coaching community.
