  1. How about we hire Urban, tell him not to do any of that shady shit here, and then see what happens. If he does do bad shit we can fire him, but at that point I will already have the memories of several national championships.
  2. The biggest concern right now is the team quits mid season. These players know they (mostly) work their asses off, and they have to be pissed that Herman is wasting their careers. You fire him mid season and it could be like a weight off their shoulders. Everyone would know there was going to be a new coach so less uncertainty. Imagine if they won 5 out of 6 without Herman to finish the year, there would be a lot more chance to keep a core of good players and recruits onboard.
  3. Assuming the players are aligned on what the real problem is here...I like the idea of making Ash the interim, and letting Yurcich do whatever he wants on offense. If the players understand Tom is the problem, this could keep them motivated, and let Sam end his career without being held back. It would also be an audition for keeping Yurcich.
  4. I haven't re-watched the whole game, but just focusing on the first series, is there a reason the LBs don't get their hands on the WRs, even just a quick push to get them off their path?
  5. I am wondering (more like hoping) if we have a 3 deep safety look. Our defensive line is a strength. If we are going to dedicate 4 guys to it, we need them to control the run with minimal LB support. We need those guys thinking pass drop first, at least against teams like Tech, TCU, OU. We can give up 8 yard runs. Our corners are not going to hold up on their own, and plenty of teams have a 3rd receiver that will torch Adimora or Mitchell.
  6. Those teams offensive personnel and design are totally different than Tech or the average Big 12 team. There is no comparison.
  7. The only time they had success on offense last year was when Mond was running, but we know Jimbo doesn't like it. When Mond continues to show no progress as a passer and is obviously limiting the offense, I could see him getting benched.
  8. I predict these hires are just good enough to get us to 10-2 and Big12 championship in 2020, but not good enough to prevent us from going 8-4 in 2021.
  9. CDC to Herman "Tom, we are the richest athletic department in the country and a blue blood football program. We should have one of the top 10 coaches at every position. Put together a list of the top names, let's sit down and discuss each of them and make sure we land one of them. Some may not come due to loyalty to their current program, or may be bad fits for our schemes or culture, but we will get one of them." Is that how the process should work? I don't think that is how the process is working.
  10. 3-3-5 with 2 safeties playing linebacker positions at depth. http://sportstreatise.com/2019/10/the-sec-plays-flyover-football/
  11. The scheme says on 3rd and long you blitz and sack the QB. That didn't happen, but that doesn't mean it isn't what the scheme says is supposed to happen.
  12. My favorite was when they announced the corner blitz 2 seconds before the snap.
  13. So he is admitting they want and would take all of our recruits? How is that possible since they aren't SEC recruits?
  14. The only explanation I could see was that the KU guy got to the ball first and had a hand on it, then Brewer got there and grabbed it and twisted away but the KU defender still had his hand on the ball, so they ruled he had possession before Brewer.
  15. Jamison specifically trying to catch the kickoff in bounds rather than let it go out was fun.
  16. They also spent all offseason repping McCulloch and Ossai as Mac/Rover, now McCulloch is injured and Ossai is playing Nickel.
  17. I agree with you but since I don't see much changing this year, I am at least trying to stay positive since we almost certainly won't have a coaching change. I also don't think it was just more experience. We didn't have a stud B-backer like Ossai in 2017 and still managed to be successful. Does Orlando need talent at certain positions?
  18. Since the most likely outcome is the coaching staff stays the same, and because people are generally resistant to change, what are the reasons we were successful on defense in 2017 (except for Maryland and KSU) and can we replicate it in 2020? I seem to remember the key guys being a disruptive NT in Poona (4th year), freak athlete LB in Malik (3rd year), shutdown corner in Hill (3rd year) until he was suspended. Then you had Elliott (3rd year) and Hall (4th year) who were solid. How much better will Coburn, Ojomo, and Sweat be next year? What if Jalen Green were healthy? Can we find 2 LBs who have good enough recognition and instincts to play fast?
  19. Why are you getting angry at his answers? You don't really expect him to answer truthfully, do you? Is this your first press conference?
  20. It seems like cross-training the safeties has been a feature not a bug. Is that because of concerns with depth and if an injury happens keeping the best 11 on the field? If so is there hope that they can get to a point where there is a primary/backup at each position all good enough to play, rather than reshuffling all the time?
