  1. IIRC, Ojomo played as a DT in his first year (or second).  This past season, it definitely looked like he reshaped his body and slimmed down to play SDE.  He was noticeably quicker.  If he continues that trajectory, then maybe he'll stay on the outside, however, I think he's more suitable for a DT in next year's scheme.

    My initial thought is Bimage and Jett Bush?

    There's not much difference between Leo/Jack in the Under and the OLBs in this defense.

    Our SDEs will split up. Ojomo is probably 3rd DT.  Bimage at OLB.  Jones who knows.

    What do you mean by this?  

    Where does Prince Dorbah fit in?

    Bijan reminds me of Arian Foster. Doesnt have the complete top end speed but great blend of gliding, acceleration, power and most importantly vision

    I compared him before to D'onta Foreman for the same reasons.  Yours might be a better comparison.  I don't get the Adrian Peterson comparison.  But, he can torch you on flare routes like OU did with AD and Demarco Murray.

    Bijan's cutting ability is insane.  Unlike anybody I can think of.  A lot of his big runs late in the season started off tackle, then he'd find a seam, burst through it, and leave the front 7 in the dust.  Against KState, there was a TD where he was running at full speed to the endzone with an LB approaching from the side; he makes a subtle side-step and the LB doesn't even touch him.  Unreal.  If he had elite top-end speed, imo, he'd be a once in a decade type of player (looking at you Jamaal, Adrian).  Then again, elite top-end speed might negate some of the attributes that make Bijan so special.

    All I know is we have a badass OC, badass OL coach, badass DC and a bunch of other great coaches.  Assuming Sark is off the sauce, this staff looks outstanding.   
     

    There are no Watsons, Chambers, Koennigs, Meekins, Warehimes, or Mehringers in this group.  
     

    The DC and OL hires were the most important.  And both were A+++++

    I'd like to know more about the S&C coach.  That guy will be spend more time with the players in the offseason than any other coach.  He's basically an extension of the HC during offseason.  Going to be a big part of instilling the culture, holding players accountable, etc.

    In the last three pages of the “coaching staff” thread there are literally less than 10 posts about assembling the new coaching staff.

    Just like there’s other threads on this site that are for bitching and moaning.  
     

    It’s like what’s was talked about 10-15 pages ago.  There’s fucking nothing to talk or speculate about.  We’re at the same fucking spot today that we were 3 days ago.  If you don’t want to wad through the shit, either stay off this thread till it jumps 20 pages in 10 minutes or scroll through till you see tweets, screenshots, etc.  

     

    You fuckers bitching about free information is incredible. 

    He's not bitching about free information.  It's more about posting in the appropriate forum/thread.  This thread might as well be titled, "so, what's on your mind right now?".   I'm not complaining - most of y'all are having good ol' fun wading through a shallow pool of meaningless shit - so, have at it.  And, this pool of meaningless shit could be organized into smaller puddles of shit, but for whatever reason, the Surly posting guidelines have completely been ignored for these coaching search threads. 

    And once again, I'm not complaining.  Just pointing out a double-standard, if such a thing can exist on topical discussion.

    If I remember right,  OSU played slow- down ball control all night with Beanie Wells. I think every Texas possession started inside our 25.

    Beanie was having a great game until early in the fourth when he got stuffed by Muckelroy, limped off the field, and didn't play another snap.  

     

  7. my condolences go out to futureman and i would like to apologize on behalf of this board.  he was right from the beginning, per usual.  if it wasn't obvious before, it's obvious now - dude knows what he's talking about and has well connected sources.  i can't imagine what it must be like to get shit on simply for being kind enough to share insider info.  we are lucky to have him in this community and he should be held in high regard. mad respect for this dude.

    I’ve only read this page of the game thread, so I apologize if this has been brought up 69x already, but did we throw any passes in between the hashes?  I think it was Sam’s freshman year where the only passes we trusted him to throw were screens and bombs down the sideline because those were the least likely to get picked off.  Well it seems like our game plan regressed back to that.  Was ISU just not giving us any room in the middle of the field, or did Tom think that this game plan was the best way to beat them?  Our WRs are unable to get separation from any DB, which has been proven in several games this year, so what did Tom see that he thought this was the way to win?

    Not many throws between the hash that I can recall.  We ran an RPO slant that was tipped by their all star LB.  Looked like we had it if not for the tip.  Same play Burt took to the house against UTEP.  Think that was the first time we ran that play since it was intercepted against OU.

    Is this an Urban Meyer only thread - or dare we discuss alternatives?

    Many here want a coach who has consistently proven success at a championship level, preferably at multiple schools.  Add in a program builder for extra points.  Not many practical options who fit that mold.  And at this point in the season, there's only one who does.

    A few want all of this including someone who is not and up-in-comer, and not named Urban Meyer.

    I mean the team is kind of standing together. It is one who stayed. Everyone is defending him because he is doing what they accept. If he was say..the only one kneeling at the anthem errrrrbody would be pissed at him

    Don't forget the coaches.

    So if Sam was in the locker room with the rest and only a backup OT was standing alone for The Eyes, you'd be mad at the backup OT for not being unified?

    Pull the other one.

    The team seems almost perfectly united on the issue of The Eyes. That's not sarcasm, that's the evidence of my eyes.

    I'm not mad at any of the players for choosing to stay and sing or not.  You can add in the coaches to your equation too.

    I told this board months ago that not just canning the eyes of Texas would result in so many embarrassing and uncomfortable moments that the university would eventually just have to change it. Today is embarrassing event number one. I’m sure there will be many more.

    Looks like you were right.

    What does this even mean? Are you saying we are playing poorly because they don't all stand for The Eyes?

    You are in a thread of grown men FURIOUSLY posting about how young men are going into the locker room instead of standing during a variation of I've Been Working on the Railroad.

    Besides, all players but one were in the locker room... sounds like unity to me.

    I'm not speaking for Pete but it's disheartening to see a team not stand together, on and off the field.  And, I don't care if they sing The Eyes or not but would like to see them on the same page.  Not sure if you're being sarcastic with your last sentence, but there is no "unity" in a football team when your QB is missing.  For someone as smart as you, you're such a contrarion bitch who loves to stir the pot.

    I’ll go out on a limb and say more players would’ve been out there if we had won. 
     

    They’d just lost an emotional game. Dudes are pissed. Many are soured on the song. To extrapolate that the players who didn’t stand out there hate the school or the team or Sam is ridiculous. I don’t give a fuck who does or doesn’t stand out there after the game. Just fucking play better & win.

    Not taking away from your point, but this also happened after the TCU loss (previously said it was after UTEP but think it was TCU where I saw it),
