  1. Everyone keeps saying Ash was an analyst working here but I haven't seen that actually reported, everything I can find just says he came through before the OU game, not that he was added to the staff. I know his wikipedia page has him working as an analyst here but the sources cited don't back that up.
  2. Which is weird, because someone obviously did when he came in. The defensive players all got way, way better between 2016 and 2017.
  3. Every time we have a new DC they’re great for that one year. Diaz, Robinson, Bedford, Orlando, they all fielded amazing defenses out the gate. Why would Ash or whoever be any different? It’s after that first year when you gotta watch out.
  4. Dabo had a shitty first season at Clemson (4-3 after taking over for Bowden who got fired midseason), a solid but not great second season (9-5) and a bad third season (6-7, ending with a loss to USF in the Meineke Bowl). Then, with his seat blazing hot and his hand being forced, he fired his OC and DC and got new ones. Things have gone pretty alright for him since then.
  5. For all of Beck's unpopularity with fans, I think his resume is way too good to be able to retain him as a position coach. Look at all the terrible offenses out there, someone's going to take a chance on him. Someone gave Shawn Watson a P5 OC job like a year after he got fired here. Beck was nominated for the Broyles Award twice at Nebraska, Ohio State went 23-3 while he was there, we beat OU and Georgia last year and Sam was setting records, even this year I think we had a top 25-ish offense on paper. I'm not saying we should keep him as OC, we absolutely should not, but he's easily good enough to land a P5 OC gig somewhere.
  6. lol at giving a CFB player a football as swag
  7. Honestly I don't know how much a new OC changes things, because I don't really see any evidence that we're doing isn't what Herman wants. It's going to be Tom Herman's offense and playbook whoever is in charge of implementing it, we're not going to bring in someone with their own scheme and philosophy and let them do their thing. And Herman hears all the play calls every game, if he didn't agree with them he could jump in any time.
  8. I respect the candor, and I'm not sure I disagree with the sentiment either.
  9. Whoah whoah whoah now let's not say things we can't take back
  10. Not Fired Before December 2020
  11. I will never not be down to beat ND or USC
  12. Serious question, are there examples where a new HC taken over at a school and brought in a whole staff of proven big name assistants with them? Seems like assistants who are doing amazing at P5 schools leaving to take the same position elsewhere isn’t really a thing that happens much, you’re either giving a chance to an up-and-coming “hot name” who was a G5 coordinator or whatever, or snagging someone experienced who has had some failures at previous stops. Honestly, same with head coaches. Who was available after 2016 who wasn’t “unproven” and/or toting a resume with plenty of “red flags” that could easily be pointed to as proof the hire was doomed from the start if it didn’t work out?
  13. He won’t be. I just hope he’s gone at the end. Who do we have to step into the job midseason anyway? The awesome position coaches who have our guys playing with such stunning technique?
  14. It's not quite that egregious, because Watson never ever fielded an offense worth a shit here. TO at least came in and had a real solid first season. Nobody wanted to see him go after year one, and people were worried about him getting poached for a HC job. Barring some drastic turnaround down the stretch I think TO probably needs to go but I'm still scratching my head wondering what happened to that guy from year one. If he can get out of his own way and rediscover whatever it was he was doing right back then, maybe he could pull it out.
  15. Are you joking or do you not remember Greg Robinson Rides Again in 2013
  16. Why is it that every time we have a new DC our defense kicks ass? Diaz year one,, Robinson turnaround, Bedford year one, Orlando year one... j guess what I’m saying is name Chris Ash interim DC right now and then hire whoever next year and keep them on a short leash.
  17. I call bullshit. The logos leading up to the shiny ones were WAY darker than that. Not even burnt orange, chocolate brown. The number ones The DKR ones and the plain ones
  18. It sure seems like Anwar and Feldman are just describing the same thing in slightly different ways. Ash suddenly had a lot of free time on his hands, a lot to think about in terms of how he might be more successful as a coach in the future, and good reason to get out and network within the CFB world. He accepted an invite from his friend and former colleague Tom Herman to come sit in on some meetings and practices at Texas leading up to the OU game. He didn't accept some unpaid volunteer job, but I'm sure he had thoughts to share while sitting in on these things. No doubt Ash was doing it because it was an opportunity for him to learn and network as he looks to make his next career move, and it would be totally expected for him to be reaching out to his contacts at other schools and paying them visits as well.
  19. Just want you all to know I'm still smiling at my own joke hours later
  20. You realize there are only 128 teams right Bottom 100 means anyone outside of the top 28
