  1. To be honest our tampering game with one of the Aggies was pretty strong. When you get to the point where people are picking roommates, jersey numbers and agreeing on NIL numbers I think you’ve done a damn good job tampering.
  2. Gotta give credit where it’s due, on game day it was PK show. Halftime GP made suggestions but he stayed in his role on game day for the most part. during the week tho, GP was all over game planning and practicing to implement those schemes and plans. That’s also where they would have their differences. GP only knows how to practice one way. If it ain’t intense then it’s wrong to GP.
  3. This is why I really want to hire Tee Martin or Wiggins from Alabama. I know people on the board are worried about recruiting or other stuff with those two but im not worried about recruiting at Texas. I want somebody to walk into that room on day one and be able to say I’ve coached multiple NFL picks/pro guys. I’ve handled the ego of a room full of studs. Get in line and and join the list of guys who are getting paid real money, or bullshit and watch you ruin yourself. Also they need some real competition in that room. Cook coming in and pushing for legit PT or the transfer WR coming in would do wonders for that room. Whit gotta be more vocal. He a lead by example guy. That room needs a vocal leader. Bad. Somebody who you fear might smack somebody for getting to far out of line. With Quinn being so quiet there was just a large leadership vacuum. Only so much Ro and Bijan could do.
  4. I hate when Chip is some what correct cause I hate him and don’t think he should be allowed anywhere near the team. Defensive coaches say Worthy the drama Queen was created and Marion and Sark did a terrible job managing him and played a big part in his ego and effort issues. The WR as a whole wasn’t managed very well. Marion is excellent on the chalk board and can teach the position but he was way to caught up in 1. Being more friend than coach and 2. Promoting himself. Coleman was better for the actual WR room, just was a deadman walking on the recruiting side of things.
  5. At this point I’m not sure Evan even believes the stuff he says out loud.
  6. I won’t run from the negs if my info turns out to not come true. I know I was one of the people who said it. But I heard it directly from Evan and his parents multiple times.
  7. Blake will forever be grateful to GP. GP invested a lot of time into Blake and hopefully continues to do so. The safety room was night and day different this year compared to last. GP’s main issue this year was he thought the scheme would get to soft at times. He too wanted to see more press looks and coverages versus some of the games where we let them have free five yard hitches and outs all game long.
  8. Patterson worked his ass off. Patterson and Bo Davis got really close this year because they felt like they were the only coaches who were really full of “fire” consistently. Bo has told plenty of people that GP would be more upset at practice than actual position coaches and that was a major concern. People “believe” he could have been used even more than he was this year and they hope he comes back next year.
  9. Roach uses that same quote about Jones being the recruiter of the year at Texas every time we have an WR opening. Legit third time he has used the same exact quote/blurb. we get it Mike.
  10. If I was Sark I would get a blank check and make Jeff Scott tell me no.
  11. Marion has been trying/begging for an OC job for months. He literally would have taken ANY OC job available. For a while in December he basically stopped recruiting because all he was focused on was getting a new job. He got his ass back focused when he realized he was getting a job at the time but he been focused on himself for a while. Good recruiter, good relationship builder but did a bad job holding that WR accountable. Some of that is on Sark as well but Marion let Worthy get away with whatever. Our receivers didn’t improve this year and Worthy actually played better under the last coach. There will be people in that room happy with this move. Hopefully Sark has somebody lined up.
  12. Coaches originally asked JWhit, Jones, Ovie and Moro to come back. So far two of those are taking the offer. I can say that there was major disagreement between defensive coaches on Ovie so it makes sense that he decided to move on. Not all the coaches wanted him back.
  13. I agree but it’s also not my money or me also having to work all those egos and expectations. Also would help to keep Red happy because of the True Buzz connections. True Buzz has been a friend of the program with Red, Watts, and helping stay in the race with Ant Hill. I don’t know who we end up with in the WR room but J Mic would have been my guy from day one. Evan gets more attention and rightful so, but J Mic a dog and his word is more reliable.
  14. This is where Hooks is the gift and the curse. He has a really solid relationship with Sark and that relationship has helped us get into recruitments and win recruitments. The problem this cycle is Hooks is the trainer for the Cal WR, Cook, Evan, and Neyor. The Cal WR is/was very obtainable but you gotta be straight with Hooks and all the kids because they all talk or communicate with/through Hooks. You can’t tell Evan one thing J Mic something else. I am NOT saying that happened just an example of how this specific portal run has complicating factors. It’s a thin line as well cause Cook is coming to get reps while Hooks also wants to make sure Neyor gets a chance to bounce back. I don’t envy the coaches position on this one. But a WR with Worthy, J Mic, Evan, Neyor and Cooks would be amazing. Also possible with the right plays behind the scene.
  15. Maybe he is in SouthLake visiting an old QB friend. Evan plays a lot of games but now that the OC has been hired we will know soon if he is staying or not.
  16. The football program had no problem letting him return. Other aspects of the university are very glad to see him and Chris go. Very surprised he had the grades to even transfer.
  17. 100% agree on Denver Harris. Even tho the North Shore staff is not his biggest fan as of today, they still believe he was a decent kid who just wasn’t mature enough to be a leader instead for a follower. Most people close to him swear him becoming close to Chris Marshall was the start of his decline. His parents were begging him to stop hanging out with Chris. Mom begged Aggie to let him stay once she knew for sure Chris was leaving the team.
  18. I’m starting a go fund me to keep Blue at Texas. Texas football needs@closetojumping to give us the golden football to break the curse that has plagued Texas football for the last 10-12 years.
  19. He was great in Brent V’s scheme. Looked lost and disinterested in current scheme.
  20. I personally believe Bledsoe will be the best pass rusher out of that class. We definitely need to hit on two from that class. I really like Finkley but I don’t think he will a huge sack guy coming off the edge.
  21. The biggest issue down the stretch with that recruitment was how long Herman took to hire a WR coach. The family asked everyday who would be coaching their son and Herman had no answers as he swung and missed on multiple WR coaches. While we had no coach Malcolm Kelly was on him hard every day. Herman eventually hired Coleman who had been on the staff the whole time. If Herman had hired Coleman earlier I believe QJ is in austin. Made no sense to take as long as they did if you were going to hire the guy already on staff
  22. The issue is you’ve told him and his family all year that next year is his year. To compound that you wasted a year of eligibility this year for him. You didn’t preserve his redshirt this year like we did other linemen. Didn’t even try. And it’s not like he burned his redshirt getting OLine snaps. You burned his redshirt on field goals and extra points. When his family had questions about the wasted year you told them that there was no way he would be here longer than 4 years no matter what, because where you project him and talent to take him. So lose a year of eligibility and then have to sit another year. At least give him a chance to compete, preferably at tackle where he has been all year. It is not 100% he will transfer but Flood and Sark are going to have to do a major sell job. Some kids take you at your word and really want to compete/play.
  23. There are people in the program that are trying to convince Christian Jones to stay another year. If he does that’s going to cost us a young lineman.
  24. Yes, it’s him. But the Aggies need some recruiting momentum and they will get to tell their fans how they just went into Florida and got a National top 50 level recruit.
