    Isn't Jimbo calling the plays? I figure Dickey was brought in for recruiting purposes.

    I think the point is that you're paying $800,000 to an OC to get Jimbo's offense. You aren't getting Mike Norvell's offense. I hope this is the case. Nothing will be saltier than Aggie Twitter when Starkel, down by 3 scores, is checking down to his RB on 3rd down while the nation reminds them how much Jimbo is getting paid.

    So the major bust they traded a 4th round guy for is essentially worth the same as a guy off the street. They panicked and made a poor decision. Sounds familiar.

    " Ward will have ample opportunity to show coaches what he's got inside. And he'll work against the best guard in the league in Zack Martin. Martin has faith: "He's got that combination of leverage and strength and speed and quickness," Martin raved. "I truly believe he's going to be one of the top three-techs in the NFL."

    Inspector Gadget and the Swagcopter crashed after the losses piled up.  The Station won't be lit after Dabo and Saban piss on Brewster's matches.  .  

    There will be no Johnny Football to make A&M cool this time around. It will be ugly uniforms and a difficult transition away from the spread.

    What Georgia is doing is unreal. The only bread in their class is some 3star crouton DE with a pretty badass name (Zion Logue) that Oscar Giles would be lucky to pull.

    At least we don't have to have speculative conversations about what sleeping giant is poised to challenge Saban. It's done. It's Georgia or nobody... for the time being.

    They're just dying to be able say their DB haul this year is historically better than the one we had last year and to believe it. You can actually sear the rusty gears slowly turning in their blockheads. 

    They'll start to say it. Then Caden Stearns will look like a boss. Then they'll go a little quiet. Slowly, over time, they'll point out that Overshown and Jamison are playing multiple positions, so they're disqualified from the contest.

    Imagine if someone wrote "Carrington has strong African-American ties" as much as the Langi thing for every black kid that came in. It's stupid and bordering on something else. 247 has its shitty style guide that churns every post out like it's a Clarence Thomas concurrence, but that one needs to end.

    Asking for complexity from recruiting reporters is essentially asking them to be different people. They've ended up exactly where they belong.

    Sometimes attempting to be Mr. Rational just makes you look lost. The list of players who have improved their stock through bowls and after-bowl bowls is long. If the fucking combine can launch someone out of the ether, the premise that a player can rise or fall due to bowl prep and performance should be a given too. Come on. 

    Are you typing from the steps of a Roman fountain surrounded by pigeons?

    Agreed on all counts in your statement. But a lot of people here are acting like it's out of the realm of possibilities that Herman would ever have done such a thing. Put yourself in his shoes though. The guy who was supposed to have your back attempted to backstab you and might have cost you some money on something you've worked for your whole life. Then you have to sit there and watch the whole world treat him like a god that can do no wrong when you know that he's really a selfish bastard who would go so far as to try to sabatoge you to scouts just because he felt slighted by you leaving early. He wants the whole world to know who Tom really is. Calling Tom and just talking it out with him won't reveal that to the whole world. I'm not saying he was right in what he did I'm just trying to explain his possible thought process. 

    Were the criticisms fair? What did he say? The devil is in the details.

    All our guys slid based on their expectations. Are they looking for answers that don't include "the tape" or "testing numbers and measurements?"

    Newsflash to Malik, DeShon, Connor, Holton, and Warren: it's not badmouthing if Herman, Orlando, McKnight or any other member of the staff tells the NFL that you weren't ready mentally or physically for the NFL. You weren't. There wasn't a single one of them that couldn't have helped himself with another season. 

     

     

    Dicko is the exception and I'd bet "behind closed doors" the Texas staff didn't "talk shit" about them. 

     

     

     

    So true. Perhaps UT got a stigma in the NFL because Mack told NFL teams that all our players were something they weren't.

     

    I only have a problem with Herman if he was being petty or went out of his way to sabotage someone.

    “were  told” by whom?  

    My first thought was if players always understand the difference between badmouthing and the truth. Like the difference between "don't draft this guy" and "he struggles in man coverage."

    well no shit. Who on this board ever said the Spurs were going to get equal value in return? 

    When you're arguing about getting "young players with potential" for a top 5 player it's all you need to know about leverage. 

    I was just saying that I was right. Which in hindsight is probably not the most compassionate thing do in this thread. The wound is fresh. I apologize. I let my ego get in the way of the well being of my Longhorn internet friends. Have a great day.
