  1. First, the 09 defense was better than the 08 one. I feel like some of you guys are young so let us olds regale you with tales of Muschamp's prowess as a defensive coach. Lamar Houston was a slow RB/LB from Colorado when he came to Texas. We tried him off the edge but when Boom came he recognized his power, put a lil weight on him and slid him inside to 3 tech where he would be a disruptor. Henry Melton came to Texas as a 240lb goal line RB and we used him as such until Boom came and flipped him to his side of the ball and got him to the league as a big DE who could slide inside. Sergio Kindle was a 5 star LB who couldn't play traditional LB because he was stupid. Boom put him at Jack end where he would go on to decapitate many a QB in his career. Earl Thomas was a undersized 3 star recruit from Orange Texas who was never supposed to play here. He had decent speed but was undersized at 5'9-10. Boom got him and turned him into the best safety in the country, and next to Thomas was Michael Taafe..I mean Blake Gideon, the Michael Taafe before Michael Taafe. People see the finished product with all these NFL players and don't realize that it was Boom's eye for talent that created that roster. They weren't all bunch of 5 stars. Guys were lost with no real role on the team. You had some real dummies like Chykie and Sergio.
