  1. Get the bleeping political talk off the GD football board.
  2. I believe he posted fuck ou.
  3. He called one of CDCs hires before it was official as well I believe.
  4. I am sorry... but how? Mackovic was a bit of an ass, but he at least built something. Herman not only doesn't build he gets worse every year. One conference championship for Herman(which aint gonna happen) doesn't overturn 3 conference championships for Mackovic. Plus, JM's brand of football was still more enjoyable then THs. Both give you bad defense but at JM had a functional offense and knew how to recruit an oline.
  5. Yeah I was referring to 1st year in Big 12. Conference better now? Nebraska, Kansas St, Colorado, Texas, Texas A&M.... I personally think the best 10 teams in 1996 would steamroll the current conference. Mackovic would beat Herman 52 to 35..... Plus Mackovic is in the argument for recruiting the best O line on history. Not an open shut case but the argument is there. Herman not so much...
  6. Hmm...I am pretty sure there is no way in hell Herman wins the Big 12 title that 1st year. Johnny Mac was an ass but he knew offense and while he was scared to death of letting the defense outshine the offense...but he was still worlds better than Herman. Herman is very similar to McWilliams...even flash in the pan short term head coaching experience. Strong is worse than both.
  7. I can't believe I am responding to one of your posts but here goes: You literally just said that donors are the cash cow of UT Athletics. Donors are currently sitting on their wallets for donations and merchandise. Apathy has set in at all levels. How does apathy set in? Because the money doesn't have faith in investing in the product that they are seeing and the T-shirt fans don't want to buy your garbage you are selling. How do you combat apathy? By hiring a proven winner coach that energizes the fan base and gets the BMDs to pony up their money again. If Herman is the head coach next fall, we will have the lowest ticket sales and donation levels in decades(noncovid).
  8. Look, we all like Carrington. Maybe he stays on....but probably not. Coaches like to bring in their own people. Maybe Urban has some connection to BC or makes a spot for him, it could happen. But everytime there is a coaching change people talk about the good coach or staff member that the new coach should keep....and it very rarely actually happens.
  9. So which one of you jackwagons reads surley and writes this garabage for them.....I mean seriously this is basically a rehash of the past 10 pages minus the meltdown about recruiting....
  10. Ha, I misread your first post to say it was "quite unbelievable" that he had info. We're on the same page. Plus he doesn't murder the english language like some people.......
  11. Yeah that is basically what I was going for. He isn't someone building his followers by covering UT or having a stated vested interest in it. He just happens to know someone who at this point in time knows things that are accurate and passing it along. When this cycles through he will most likely lose said information and go back to covering what he traditionally does.
  12. True but he seems to be a fairly narrow focus guy on what he tweets about. The sudden random and accurate info relating to UT and recruiting makes it quite believable that he has some random connection at the moment.
  13. Is Kyle unobtainable? No. Is he likely?? maybe. Is he exactly what this board has been saying they don't want----ie a sudden flash in the pan hot coaching commodity without longterm success? Yes. Is it completely unbelievable that he would dump the NFL for College?-No--see Jim Harbaugh. Will it happen? probably not.
  14. This board......Urban isn't coming and we should just quit playing football to we might be hiring Shanahan.......
  15. Agreed. Although I didn't realize it while watching, if you look back Tom turtled hard the 4th quarter of the Sugar Bowl.
  16. Man the longer this drags on the more I want to kick myself for being excited when we came back against Tech............it's possible this is already done if Tech had just finished it....
  17. .....You think Vince is gonna study film.......
  18. Didn't ya'll read the news coverage after the Baylor game? Texas righted it's ship by beating that tough baylor opponent.......*barf*
  19. Mack got well compensated for his work here. Then he got lazy and burned out and was allowed to collect his salary while basically doing nothing. He could be pissy sure. He could also be a professional and not try to completely sabotage the program on his way out the door. Tom Hicks himself thought he was doing Mack a favor since he was burned out. Lots of people pour themselves into something and don't try to burn it to the ground like a high school kid when it is time for them to step aside.
  20. Sorry I think I was meaning to reply to @Fastbreak with that reply not you.
  21. I don't know, maybe there is a group of players that love him, but at the same time, we have heard from almost the outset how much his players don't like him and how often he has almost lost this team for me to believe the team in mass loves him. Then again, I can remember being extremely defensive about my dad complaining about my high school football coach so who knows.
  22. Really? Ya'll think his season hinged on OU and that choice? Was going for 2 all of a sudden going to make him a competent coach and his teams be well coached and disciplined? NO. We got beat in "HIS YEAR" by the worst OU team in 22 years or more and it took Sam going superman to get us there. Beating OU in overtime would have been nothing more then the comeback over Tech. A mirage that prolonged the suffering.
  23. It's not just this year though. He was very nearly fired at the end of last year and was supposedly given his marching orders to save his job or not when he got to redo his staff. The team is worse this year then last year. In every capacity. It isn't just practice it is everything about this team.
  24. That would depend...if suddenly getting pissy because Tom Hicks tells you that he has an agreement in place to bring Saban in as your replacement so you can ride off into the sunset and you scuttle the whole thing....then on top of that when you know you are leaving, you waste all of the head coach in home visits so your successor won't have any....
