  1. Listen up, you gaping coelentrates. We’re 12-1 conference champs heading into the CFP. Those bad men can’t hurt you anymore. A bunch of us said Jimbo was late era Mack Brown when aggy hired him, now we get to watch them do their version of Charlie Strong and Tom Herman, and I am going to enjoy every second of it replete with painfully hilarious comparisons of their tenures.
  2. Texas could’ve given Charlie Strong or Tom Herman $20 million assistant pools and they still would’ve hired god awful coaching staffs. It’s not about the budget. Those guys just have no fucking clue how to run an organization. Elko is cementing himself firmly in their tier with these coaching hires and when you combine that with his talk about not being able to handle calling the defense and being a HC, it looks like Texas fans could be in store for a very fun next few years watching this unfold.
  3. His PFF grades were terrible last year, but this year he was more in line with his freshman year. Hasn’t he been battling through a lot of injuries the last two years?
  4. He’ll probably 2-6 by then, so I’d say that’s about right.
  5. Exactly. At A&M you need B-level guys who do suck at school.
  6. Yeah, LSU getting most of the windfall is obnoxious.
  7. Wood does a good job covering why he got to Williams, and I would just add that there’s no Leclerc/Russell/Piastri type in the junior ranks right now. The last 2 F2 winners are Drugovich and Pourchaire, who have potential but aren’t likely to be good in Year 1 and neither has massive financial backing. On top of that, there isn’t really an obvious veteran to sign, so Williams either finds a big pay driver who’s terrible or they’re better off betting on Sargeant improving in Year 2 over starting from scratch with the currently available guys. Checo would’ve been a great get if RB let him go, because his usual routine of mixing god awful weekends with ones where he can make an alternative strategy work for points above what would be expected is a great fit for a team like Williams right now. Tl;dr I don’t think giving Sargeant the seat last year was a very good move, but their options were limited and keeping him in the seat next year is probably their best option currently or at least just as good as the alternatives.
  8. For him, definitely. If that’s who DeBoer is planning to start next year, that will be a massive step down for UW. Hopefully DeBoer realizes he can do way better than that or this is just securing an experienced backup.
  9. The large salary pool doesn’t mean Elko hires a great coaching staff, it just means his comfort hires get paid a ton.
  10. Doubtful. Maybe he doesn’t get any good DC offers and we can moneywhip him, but he was DC at Oregon before taking the Boise job. Someone will likely offer him a solid DC job, and a meaningless co-DC tag at Texas won’t overcome that.
  11. I’m not sure anyone’s ever said this before, but next year is going to be Ferrari’s year.
  12. This is some good wishcasting, but Avalos has been a DC since 2016. It’s extremely unlikely he falls all the way back to LB coach.
  13. Huh? We’re losing our top 4 receivers ( 3 WRs and Sanders) this year, and we don’t have much behind them. Cook should be expected to start, but Wingo is far from a given just like Cook wasn’t ready to start this year. Guys like Moore and Niblett don’t seem ready to start nor will any of the other ‘24 HS recruits. I’ll be surprised if the staff don’t take at least 2 WRs in the portal. Only taking 1 portal WR would be a very dumb move.
  14. Not only that, but Arizona looked like dogshit until they put Fifita in for their 5th game. They lost to Mississippi State and barely beat Stanford. So this entire coaching decision is based on the last 7 games with Noah Fifita starting, who may just be an extremely special college talent. And Fisch couldn’t even figure out he was worlds better than De Laura and only played him because De Laura got injured. None of that screams good hire.
  15. Getting banned for harassing a 9.95er and the inability to write a 10 word post without a typo?
  16. So they paid Jimbo $77 million for the right to pick between Elko and Traylor. That’s some good Bull right there.
  17. It never ceases to amaze me what a bunch of miserable cunts most posters are on these game threads. Most of you deserve to watch a team coached by Charlie Strong for the rest of your life.
  18. Bear Bryant couldn’t.
  19. Ferrari put heat in their tires better than anyone and they tend to have a good straight line speed this year. I could definitely see a Leclerc pole position incoming. I’m sure Max will when the race though, unless RB just can’t put heat into the tires.
  20. This is a very stupid post by you. Klein did call passes early, but our pass rush was getting home. He then changed how they attacked by the 2nd quarter and spread us out more and abandoned the run. He went from having a a fine game plan early that usually works for KSU to quickly pivoting before half time to a new attack that was best for his team. He was nowhere near being a help to the Texas defense on Saturday.
  21. No. He mostly extends plays behind the LOS scrimmage to throw. He’s only averaging about 6 actual runs per game and that includes both designed runs and scrambles but not sacks. Injuries due to running isn’t much of a concern, it’s more about his ability to operate within a system instead of trying to create out of broken down plays and bad decisions under pressure.
  22. I have no idea what games you’re watching, but he’s averaging like 115 YPG in his last 5 Big 10 games, and he’s been graded by a lot of draftniks as the best WR prospect in years. He also just recently torched Penn State’s All-American CB for 11-162 with a bad QB throwing him the ball. I’m not saying he should be 1st overall, but he’s clearly the top WR in the draft and one of the best WR prospects in the last decade.
  23. I don’t see it. Gundy knows what aggy truly is. just like with their recruiting, they do the best selling a lot of money and the theoretical potential of their program to outsiders who don’t look too closely at the weird as fuck culture and all the systemic issues with their program.
