  1. Suchomel is saying Ty Jordan OV'd to Utah this past weekend and that it went well (based on what he heard from a Utah coworker)
  2. This is the reason why I have Heacock and Lake as my top two. Heacock (ISU DC) gave Orlando the Lightning package that he had so much success with in 2017. I believe he is also the guy that led the inverted tampa 2 movement that is now being played by everyone in the Big 12. I think his resume is one of the best in the country at keeping up with Big 12 offenses. He's shown the ability to adapt to both his own personnel and offensive trends in the big 12. He'd be my first pick from a schematic standpoint, but I don't know anything about how he would handle the recruiting and politics at Texas. I know less about Lake. Specifically how ready he is to be a solo DC. Their defense was good before he was co-DC and I'm not sure if he's the one calling plays at UW. That said, UW has had a great defense and the PAC 12 at least has some air raid and spread offenses. UW has consistently had Leach's and WSU's number over the last couple years. Leach's offense isn't really a fit in the current big 12, but it's better than guys who only play SEC or B1G offenses. UW also held Graham Harrell and USC to 14 points, their lowest this year. Also, I would love to bring his DB development resume here. Good DB play is a prerequisite for success in the Big 12. Luckily, we will always have DB talent on campus so it'd be great to bring in a guy that could help us get the DBU moniker back.
  3. Since we're all throwing out shit: My personal favorites: Jon Heacock (Iowa State), Jimmy Lake (Washington) Would like them but won't happen: Morgan Scalley (Utah), Will Muschamp (SCar) Other good options I've heard thrown around: Kevin Steele (Auburn), Barry Odom (ex-Mizzou)
  4. Yes but it doesn't happen a lot. First one that comes to mind is Trey Sanders
  5. https://www.chronicle.com/article/As-Sports-Programs-Get-Richer/235026/?key=hdjaFrHBaS4D76nJdnK2oNsTp5IRKKjh6kZTr0FawV93eEpVZDdoMUpyZDlSWnIyTE1IZVNmTV9lY0xWOG1SZ0EtN3g2bl82R1VF That's the original article. Texas and OSU both give ~6% of their revenue to academic projects. In total, the 10 schools--which are, again the only ten schools that give more to academics than they receive in subsidies--gave on average ~4% of their revenue to academics. But that doesn't account for the $45M that Bama, UF, UM, and UK received in subsidies. So basically, out of 205 D1 athletic programs, Texas is #1 in terms of the amount we give back to the school and Top 2 in % given back (for the 2011-2014 period). This entire argument about prioritizing athletics or academics is pretty stupid because the two aren't mutually exclusive (just look at Ohio State), but I'm glad that we operate this way.

  7. This post may not go over well right now, but from what I've seen, the data you're asking for will paint Herman in a good light. Improvement in a coach's second year is typically an indicator of success. I'm not sure of any analysis that looks at improvement in year 2 followed by regression in year three. Also, Herman still has almost a quarter of his third season left (including a bowl) so it's a bit premature to really quantify it. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/77720-college-football-whats-with-the-second-year-coaching-success I suppose that this NYT article would interest you, but I don't think anybody expected a national title this year, and it's drawing the cutoff at four years. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/03/sports/ncaafootball/hire-a-coach-wait-three-years-huskies-chris-petersen.html I think you're going to have a hard time finding data that supports your view, but if you tinker enough maybe you'll find something. I also think that the worst things about Herman aren't represented in the data so this is the wrong approach to take anyways.
  8. I think the first half of this video is worth watching for everybody. It talks about how Belichik is using Cover 0 on the NFL's best defense and the principles he follows when blitzing. Todd should watch it at the very least. Like satya is pointing out here, the issue isn't just the blitz calls, it's how they're coached. The calls are predictable, which means the offense sees it coming and makes the proper protection adjustments so that there are available blockers. But then our LBs and DBs are just running straight in to those blockers because they haven't been coached to properly time and space themselves. I was unsure of my position on Orlando until the K-State game. Even though KSU and ISU have been our two best defensive performances, they're the games that have sunk my opinion of Orlando. Our guys are playing better individually, but Orlando is still putting them in really bad positions even with a bye week to fix himself.
  9. Sorry I did not realize you were an LSU fan. It's in your name but it didn't register that there would be non-Texas fans in this thread. I still don't really understand the comment. With Mack we ended up in purgatory because of his accomplishments and the goodwill he had built up. Herman does not have enough of either to coast for 5 years. I think he'll either win big or the team will implode dramatically. Our program has had extreme highs and extreme lows every year under Herman so far. Eventually one of those two will win out. And it's not looking good. I think Malzahn is a more apt comparison than Mack. And sorry I didn't mean to take a shot at LSU. Y'all are hot right now and probably have a great future but there are still lots of questions this off season. I have no idea how it will play out but you'll be one of the most interesting teams in the country this offseason
  10. Pretty sure the next few years will be the same for both of us bud
  11. Washington and Naivar's units have at least shown a ton of improvement over the course of the season. Good DB play and stout run D by the DL are the only things holding this defense together. For me there are three tiers of coaches right now: Fire: Orlando, Warehime, Mehringer, Meekins Can see both sides but I don't personally have a strong opinion: Washington, Naivar, Herman, Drayton, Giles Keep: Hand, Beck
  12. The WR class this year is stacked. Duvernay has no chance to go in the first round. He and Collin are both Day 3 guys. Duvernay has a small chance to go late on Day 2 but I don't think it's likely given how many other great WRs there are.
  13. Plus, if you look past P5 wins to G5 wins, La Tech (8-1) has more wins than UTSA (4-5) and Texas State (3-6) combined That really doesn't mean anything at all but it's a fun fact
  14. On the one hand, you might be right that one of our top guys makes a play on the ball that Owens gave up. On the other, maybe don't put your raw true freshman box safety in 1 on 1 coverage on a game-deciding play.
  15. There's no way LSU would take Achane and Evans right? I don't know if they're on Achane as a RB or WR
  16. Horny can coach, just not on the field. There are videos of players going to QC assistants during their off-time and breaking down film and talking about technique. He might be able to sit in on position group meetings as well but I'm not sure about that. A substantial portion of teaching occurs off the field. E: I should add that I don't know whether Horny is our main ST guy, but it's certainly possible for a QC guy to handle a lot of responsibilities for something like that.
  17. So this randomly popped up on my timeline. These edits are so terrible. Then I saw Demas's and realized they didn't even edit the body. It's literally just faces poorly shopped into on to the same background.
  18. He says that Collins already used his Texas OV but aren't we saving that for Kansas?
  19. This is right. That's why there's like 10 pro bowl QBs every year.
  20. The entire thing was about wins at home so I don't see how those are relevant
  21. I actually think Elko is really good. Their defense will fall off a cliff if he leaves. Just look at the roster he's had to work with the last two years.
  22. If Elko really is checked out and it's affecting his recruiting, I bet Jimbo is pissed. He'd never stand for a coach that quits on his team and leaves behind a mess when they leave.
