  1. I don't know, players actually quiting might force the hand of the AD....
  2. Why so we can continue to not be world beaters? Seriously. This is Herman's team and you are seeing what the product will always be. If we destroyed tech and struggled with TCU maybe.... but no we struggle with everyone....
  3. Fire em . Clean house. This is a joke.....and I tend to be positive....
  4. I keep seeing this referenced, but haven't actually seen anything where the Brocks are getting treated like Pariahs? Would love to though.
  5. So do we trapdoor other brockermeyer now or what?
  6. 1st we have no idea what CDC did or didn't commit to at the meeting. 2nd or 3rd hand crap isn't something to go on here. 2nd the right thing to do or not, there is a labyrinthian amount of crap you have to dig through to change things on a public university campus the size of Texas. 3rd The BOR aren't just sitting around waiting for the University to need them to show up for a meeting. They have their own lives and concerns going on in the middle of a pandemic. It isn't that simple and it is infantile to act like it is.
  7. Princeton is a private University that has none of the trappings and hoops that are involved with a gianormous public university and policy changes. It will all require BOR approval, and I am sorry the BOR isn't going to drop everything and have an emergency meeting to make sweeping changes because the athletes think they are moving too slowly.
  8. Well pretty certain the first football game didn't allow black people to play in it so....
  9. There is a literal ton of data out there that shows that playing multiple sports and not specializing in one also greatly helps in preventing injury.
  10. Um its a kickoff return, he is literally coached to pick out his man and run and knock the crap out of him to prevent him making the play? That is his focus, he has no clue what the back behind him is doing wants he turns upfield to block his man. Thats a good block.
  11. Definitely not seeing the videos of him line dancing this year..... Maybe he missed making a sacrifice or possibly glanced at his painting...
  12. Team Under vs Team pressure Duh duh duh duh duh duh duh
  13. Woody Hayes was old school and he hung around too long but he was a hell of a coach and his players knew how to play the game. He was a hell of a lot better than Switzer ever could be. Hays had a temper and was probably slightly unhinged at the end, but that still makes him a saint compared to Barry. It was a sad ending to a legendary career to me. Bryant, Royal, Schembechler, Wilkerson, Hayes, etc were giants of the game, but none of em were saints. To quote James Street, "Coach Royal had an open door policy, but that was a door you never wanted to enter."
  14. Key info there is "at this time" as In they haven't been fired yet and aren't going to quit jobs until they have someplace new to go.
  15. I am expecting it to break on the recruiting thread of all places.....
  16. Because he thought he and Beck could make it work and they won 10 games.
  17. Plus in all honesty, Herman doesn't have to be seen as an offensive innovator anymore. He is at a position where if he is successful as a head coach, no one will ever give a crap about who's offens it is. Tom has his issues, but he isn't freaking John "give me all the credit for everything" Markovic .
  18. What? Harrell is coming to be passing game coordinator? Have you not heard Herman since he got here? The man wants to wash his hands of the offense and let someone else handle it. He would be perfectly happy running the program and recruiting and not having to step in and fix the offense. If Harrell comes, it will be his show.
  19. I think he is mocking people/not serious.
  20. I still think we get Harrell, but the people bagging on Lashlee are being somewhat ridiculous. Lashlee has coached under 2 highly successful offensive coaches. As I understand it he called plays this year at SMU, which in all seriousness is half the problem we have anyway. Also, as has already been stated, he was used as the fall guy when Gus almost burned down his program after winning the NC. You guys think Herman is an ass? Talk to people who have interacted with Gus at all. I have been told part of why Lashlee was used as the fall guy by Gus was that he spent his last season at Auburn trying to handle Gus and keep him from pissing people off at Auburn and Gus didn't like being handled. Lashlee would be fine. I think we get Harrell, but Lashlee is still far better than than Beck/committee and in no way is he Shawn Watson level.
  21. He's in his 2nd season with an established offense that he is given full credit/blame for. His offense was successful this year. If it falls apart next year, he will definitely catch blame. If he comes to Texas and installs a dynamic and successful offense he will be credited. If it doesn't work he won't be blamed as he wasn't here long enough to put his full offense in place etc. He doesn't have a ton of exposure at USC, but he has less risk in coming to Texas. Plus, he gets to get the hell out of LA and come back to Texas.
  22. Oh, and as much as Herman seems to not want to run the offense himself....I think he would be perfectly fine handing the reins to someone else and letting them run with it. I actually believe Tom would be perfectly happy CEOing the program and staying the hell away from play calling.
  23. He also has a built in excuse at Texas if it doesn't work. If Texas goes south next year and we clean house it won't stick to Harrel, he just couldn't fix Herman's mess. If on the other hand, the drop in talent and other issues at USC cause his offense to regress and he can't repeat his magic in year 2 when the offense is his.....He has much less risk coming to Texas.
  24. Herman doesn't need someone to set the world on fire to be successful. What he needs is an OC that can put a competent gameplan for the offense and give it some idea of an identity and to call plays. So he doesn't have to and so this god damn idea of offense by committee can go away. Lashlee is more than capable of that. Lashlee is a lot less meh than Joe Brady was a year ago or Ruhle was. I still think its gonna be Harrell.
