  1. Kerry Cooks is terribad. The sooner 9.95 guys would openly trash him on radio. He was bad at recruiting and talent eval. He was considered a Stoops comfort hire and would be an awful sign if hired. Just look at the Tech DBs this year!!!! Anyway, lots have said the same thing and I am just piling on. Have we ever flown a banner against a position coach?

  2. Kerry Cooks?!?! DO NOT WANT

     

    That dude was a mainstay on Mike Stoops’s staff at OU, he recruited all those 5’9 165 lb that LJH and later Josh Jacobs steamrolled

    Maybe so, in a player, but Akina was famous for not teaching zone coverage to players and hating it. It is known.

    There’s plenty of other links and threads floating around at us bitching about akinas lack of ability (or refusal) to teach any zone. 
     

    also note the articles are 5-6 years apart. Folks were bitching about akinas zone in many different phases and defensive regimes of the Mack Brown program. 

    Sydney got the receipts for me, thank you sir

  4. Here’s the deal with Akina: he doesn’t teach zone. At all. In fact, won’t teach it. This was ten years ago, but he and Muschamp fell out a bit in 2010 because Akina had his DB fiefdom and wouldn’t change to work with the front 7. But a lot can change in 10 years. 
     

    Of course, he can teach the hell out of man. And Ash’s system is based in quarters/press man, so it could work.

    Any idea which position, if any, Yurcich is going to coach? We need a good WR coach in a bad way. There is so much talent on the team being wasted because they don't know the basics of route running. Hero ball can only take you so far.

    Almost certainly QBs. 

     

    Or linebackers

    Is it pronounced "Yur-sich", "Yur-chich", or "Yur-chic"?

    According to OKC sports radio (consider the source), it’s “sich”, rhymes with “stitch”...or, you know, “bitch”, as in what we will do the first time he calls a bubble screen

    Oh come on, the DC hire was obvious from before Todd got canned 

    Fair...what about OC? McMurphy we assume Tom fed...anyway, not a big deal. Solid hire however we found out about it. 

  8. The Braum’s concept seems like it should be waaaay more popular. But holy hell their service is terrible, and it is only surpassed by the lack of cleanliness. The product is great, though! Ice cream is on point and reasonably priced, burgers are cooked to order with quality ingredients. 
     

    Of course, it takes 15 min to get your food on most occasions and you have to wipe down a table to find a place to sit, so...

    When talking about creativity, it isn’t creating some overly complex play like never before seen artwork. It’s having the ability to look at your base offense and figure out multiple options off the same look/personnel grouping. It’s about finding ways to attack the defense and hit them where they are weak. 

    I remember sushihorn doing a good write up in the past few years after the TCU game where he showed how we basically kept using the same formation in different attacks as Patterson tried to adjust and each different attack worked. There was a lot of attaboys about how well we kept exploiting the TCU defense after they moved personnel to stop one thing that worked and then we'd switch to something else - all from the same basic formation. I thought that was pretty smart. I don't know what happened to stop that - whether other teams figured out how to block all possible attacks to make it useless or if we just stopped trying to do that.

    My surface level take is that the drop off at TE this year meant a lot of the multiplicity got undermined. Andrew Beck really allowed Herman’s offense to be stable. The RRS from ‘18 featured the same type stuff—hurry up tempo with ability to get into 5 wide or inline TE or H-back all without subbing. Beck could block above average and still be a credible receiving threat. This year’s TEs seemed below average at both. 
     

    But I don’t recommend paying attention to me, I generally just parrot Ian Boyd, that is, when I’m not parroting Scipio.

  10. Harsin at least had an actual system, not just a bunch of random plays (aka GD). The weakness of his time at Texas, if memory serves, was that he subbed personnel every play, such that formation and personnel sometimes tipped plays. 
     

    In other words, I don’t have any updates on a new OC either.

    I dont wanna live in a world without Gruyere. . .

     

    From the Perini Ranch cookbook. Brunch yesterday, also my wife's gorilla bread, which is essentially monkey bread stuffed with creme cheese.

     

    Yes, that is Praline Bacon.0dffcb217003b1ad200ca468685c732e.jpg

    I like how you party

  12. Those of you looking for a great Mac n cheese recipe, Ina Garten’s is fantastic. Calls for about 16 oz of gruyere if memory serves, so no messing around here. I get requests for it at most holiday meals. I’ve switched up the noodles, currently using trottole from Target (so not technically Mac n cheese, but whatever).

    Not joking at all.  I remember he was the highest paid coordinator in CFB at Clemson 5 years ago.  I also remember that Clemson got considerably better after he left.  I also remember when he was hired at SMU, which seemed to make sense (Texas ties, hot name, etc).  Then I remember that he was fairly average at SMU and that SMU has also gotten considerably better since he left.  Then I seem to remember that his time at Arkansas was a total shit show.

    Pretty much on a downward trajectory since he was the flavor of the day at Clemson 5 years ago from what I can tell.  His 5 minutes of fame are up.  Plus I think he’ll probably want to go wherever his son ends up, and Texas hasn’t even offered him so I’m not seeing it happening.

    I’d rather have Harrell and it’s not even close.  Probably rather have Lashlee or Brady too.

    Still wild to me that the dude started at Eustace High School. And that if it weren’t for a freak running back named Dale Cope, we might not have ever heard of Chad Morris.

    Ok. The search firm bought the hype too.  

    Refresh my memory,  on  the different message boards was Charlie generally hyped up by the fan base?   

    Oh yeah, for sure, my comment wasn’t so

    much a disagreement with yours but a furtherance. I don’t think too highly of a search firm hire for a huge, highly resourced and desirable workplace like UT athletics. They clearly bought into the hype. 
     

    As for the consensus message board fan hype for Charlie, my memory is that fans were pretty excited...until his coordinator hires. Watson more so than Bedford was seen as a comfort hire and a lack of foresight understanding of what was required in the Big 12 (and college football). Nobody was excited about Bedford, either, but we (incorrectly) trusted Charlie to make sure the defense was in good shape. 
     

    But that’s just my fallible memory.

    This is mine too.   We hired Charlie because he was the media darling which the ESPNs and other media latch on to as the next up and coming coach who deserves a shot at big name program.  We rinsed and repeated it with Tom as far as the same media driven hype helping to drive the process.  We will know by this time next year if Tom will have his tenure ended similar to Charlie’s.  

    He was a search firm hire.

  16. I have one credit card over 10 yrs old. Credit score pretty solid. Looking to take out a mortgage in the next year. 

    Any guidance/recommendations on a card to start with? I’m leaning toward the Chase with the smaller annual fee. A domestic trip this coming year is all I’m considering. Maybe Mexico City or Vancouver. 

    I’ve heard both ways on getting a new CC near to a mortgage. What says Surly?
