    When the musical chairs stop there are more notable schools and I don't think any of the are A&M/OU/Clemson.

    USC

    UCLA

    LSU

    Nebraska

    PSU

    TCU

    Tech

    Florida

    WSU

    Michigan State (LSU look)

    Baylor (LSU look)

    Florida State

    Miami

    VaTech

    Then throw in one "what in the world are they thinking" school and you've got massive turnover among P5 schools as little as 10% and as much as 20%.

     

    This going to be crazy. I really hope Texas is able to grab some talent (players, coaches, support staff) during all the uncertainty.

    Not once on this board or in real life have I ever represented that Sarkisian's staff had poor hires on it, on paper. Literally, you cannot find a single instance in which I pointed at Flood or PK as a bad hire "on paper". I have said that after 9+ months, yeah, the PK hire isn't like the home run that it was. That's called having eyes and a brain and watching the games. Watching anyone defend what the dude has done so far has been laughable. 

    As to Sarkisian himself being a bad hire? That is absolutely true. I didn't like the hire, said as much, and have continued to reinforce that I thought it was a shit hire. Then, he hired, on paper, a pretty good staff which gave me some hope. Now, we've seen little fruit borne from the "great staff" he assembled. I had some hope and optimism for about 7 months, and it was nice. Since September 11, I've seen a reboot to the same horror film we've been subjected to for the prior 11 years. 

    So, no, the assertion that I claimed the hires of the assistants was a bad thing is bullshit and revisionist. And yes, I said Sarkisian was a shit hire and I am comfortable with maintaining that position. You and the other guys can continue to preach patience and sing his praises, and that's fine. I'll keep watching and hope you're actually right. But when he's shitcanned after his 4th consecutive 7 win season and Texas is still in the spin cycle of college football retreads, I will absolutely take dark, petty, cold comfort in getting to mock all of you for it. 

    I did enjoy the Yosemite Sam imagery though. It made me laugh.

    The important thing is that you take a position.

    this.  I believe Mr CDC himself said he required our programs to be top 10.  then he hired 7 win steve who hired a PAC 12 DC, not to mention a S&C coach from the football factory known as Cal. I wonder how much it will pain CDC to allow his HC to fire his DC, pay the buyout, and hire a new guy at a higher rate only to shit the bed again.

    We're not going fire PK. We're going to hire Wilcox when Cal fires him and then you're going to have to cheer for both of them next year.

    I'm thinking/hoping this is because the DL in PKs scheme have different responsibilities than they did under Ash, and this is causing our players to be hesitant while they learn to play instinctually in the new scheme.

    I know we're currently just shitting on things, but do we get all of them back next year? I'm assuming our preseason thoughts about Coburn getting drafted flew out the window.

    With a Vegas O/U of 7.5, I had us at 8-4. Then I drank the kool-aid after TCU and went to 9-3. After two thorough bed shittings, I’m at 7-5. 
     

    Make no mistake, it’s hurting recruiting. We suck until we don’t, and there are some elite players who like us but want to see improvement. 

    Portal baby! Pitch playing time to guys that have been around the block and value the opportunity Texas provides.

    I think we have a really strong sell to give Evan Stewart.

     

     

    If we get Evan Stewart to pair with Worthy, it's going to forgive some deficiencies in other areas. I always look at the two deep on paper and want some sort of balance, but the reality is that building one elite unit can also be the way to attack things.
