  1. Yeah Eric Morris is literally doing this as we speak (assuming they make it). It's not a bitch move to recognize someone has other goals and still work together to finish things right. The ultimatum was dumb especially coming from a position of weakness. The only caveat was that maybe they were just sick of him behind the scenes, who knows
  2. That's what I'm saying. Giving an ultimatum did nothing but hurt their players and fans.
  3. Baker and Goosby, if he returns, are a good OT duo especially with another year of experience. If Goosby goes pro, furk. Definitely need interior OL.
  4. NFL Draft decisions are going to be interesting to follow. Looking briefly at some of the draft "experts": Goosby is rating mostly day 2 but possibly late round 1. Jelani's stock seems to have fallen quite a bit. Not even in ESPN's top safeties list. MM's stock isn't super high anymore. Round 3-4ish. Endries and Kanu could be round 3-4 type guys. Hill looking like Round 2. So, looking at that, Goosby would seem like the iffiest one (and at the most important position, unfortunately). I'd still expect Hill and MM to leave. Jelani should probably stay. Endries and Kanu, who knows.
  5. One fun thing about this - Lane will play ATM every year now. He hasn't exactly held back his feelings about them in the past..
  6. Sounds like Kiffin handled this poorly but I still don't understand why Ole Miss put an ultimatum on him in the first place when they were heading for the playoffs.
  7. I assume that means an incoming portal guy bc can't imagine who would be taking the job from him on the current roster
  8. Sitake is the leader now but several guys all in the same range. Seems like no one knows on this one.
  9. Because they have a good team this year and want to win a championship? This kills their postseason.
  10. The other interesting side of portal season is who becomes a "cap casualty"? Some guys might be good players but not worth their NIL. I don't know who makes what but based on recruiting rankings etc, you could imagine some guys not being worth their money compared to what's available in the portal. Based on recruiting rankings, I assume guys like Baxter and D Williams are highly paid backups. And some starters may even be in that camp.
  11. Can we take a second to laugh at Florida for basically hiring Billy Napier 2.0 to replace Billy Napier? Also why won't Ole Miss let Lane finish the season? I understand they're pissed but now they're completely throwing away their chance at a NC this year. Seems stupid to me.
  12. 2-loss Miami, Utah and ND ahead of 2-loss Vandy is so dumb if you look at schedule strength. They're getting punished for their name being Vandy and for the Utah AD being head of the committee. Texas is 100% getting punished for playing tOSU. As Sark said, Texas would be a shoe-in if that game was against a cupcake. It was also tOSU's closest game by far all season, only a 7-point loss on the road. Texas is 2-2 vs current/final top-10 teams and 3-2 vs top 15. Remove tOSU and it's still a tough schedule that no other bubble team can match. Bubble team records vs top 10/15 along with Massey SOS: Texas: 2-2 / 3-2 / 5 Bama: 1-1 / 2-1 / 13 ND: 0-1 / 0-2 / 40 OU: 1-1 / 1-2 (assuming Michigan drops) / 10 Vandy: 0-1 / 0-2 / 19 Utah: 0-1 / 0-2 / 42 BYU: 0-1 / 1-1 / 39 Miami: 1-0 / 1-0 / 48
  13. Keeping Goosby in school is gonna be critical. Outside of that, iOL is the biggest need. Wisner is solid but another RB would be good. I also think a solid veteran LB and S would be huge, even if not superstars. Feeling better about CB with the emergence of Phillips alongside Littleton but a veteran take wouldn't hurt.
  14. The plot thickens. Also weird that his mom would post anything like this..
  15. Agreed. Gotta maximize the Arch/Simmons window. Not saying to ignore HS recruiting completely but portal and retaining key players should be the priority this offseason.
  16. He was DC for Sark at UW and USC. Earlier he had been Boise DC with PK as their DL coach.
  17. It's a job and with people he knows well. He was Sark's DC at UW and followed to USC. He was PK's boss at Boise before that (DC while PK was DL coach. PK became DC when he left). But yeah analyst would probably be more likely unless he wants to coach DBs
  18. Imagine a UT receiver making a contested catch like that. I can't even do it
  19. I just realized he was also DC at Boise while PK was DL coach. PK got elevated to DC when Wilcox went to Tennessee to be their DC. Would love to add him as an analyst or DB coach. If Lupoi replaces him as you suggested, wonder if swaps places as DC at Oregon (his alma mater). But a lot of HCs seem to want a break for a year so analyst might make sense.
  20. Can he coach DBs? Asking for a friend.. He was Sark's DC at UW and USC
  21. Texas' Steve Sarkisian calls out 'absolutely false and untrue' coaching rumors - CBS Sports "I've had no discussions, not with my agent, not with the university, not with any other school, not with any NFL team, about ever going anywhere else," Sarkisian added. "I came here to win championships. I've got two kids enrolled at the University of Texas, one in law school, one on our team. I've got a third that hopefully decides to enroll at the University of Texas next fall. And my wife and I just had our son here in Austin. This is our home. We came here to win championships.
  22. Portal needs imo: 2-3 iOL, 1 CB, 1 S, 1 RB, 1 LB, K, P. This year's WRs are young and inexperienced and missed ton of the offseason. Expect growth to fix that room. Agree that Baxter needs a major paycut if he wants to stay. I like the guy but the injuries have taken a toll. DBs are a tough call. How much is the roster and how much is coaching? Phillips and Littleton look like players at CB but still young. Safety is concerning if Jelani goes pro. Watching yesterday without Hill reinforced the need for another experienced LB. Doesn't have to be a star but at least a solid rotation player. Rolling with a True FR P and/or K would be malpractice.
  23. Endries is only a Junior right?
  24. Have you talked to him in private? No. And me neither. CDC will talk to him and if Sark decides to change back, then it will be known. If he doesn't, it will also be known and CDC can act accordingly. I never said there's any evidence but damn, y'all have to stop taking press conferences for any value at all. No one is going to open up to the media jackals ffs.
  25. Gee, I wonder why players didn't develop as much this year when their reps got cut in half this offseason. Real shocker.. That said, he tried an experiment and it failed. Easy to fix as long as he's got his eyes open. Willing to forgive this one if he corrects course.
