    I don’t think anyone believes he’s an elite Director of Recruiting. It’s just hard to believe that his presence in the program is something that should be lamented.

    This is an absolute microcosm of the entire staff (on and off the field) and hence the program right now.

    What are you talking about? 

    Montana State went 8-5 in 2014 and 5-6 in 2015 before Choate came. They won conference championships from 2010-2012. 

    well, I think I was replying to this quote "he built that Montana state program from the ground up and they are actually great now."  by noting that he in fact built fuckall because Montana State was a conference champion 7 of the 10 years prior to Choate taking the job. That 8-5 season - they finished 2nd in the conference and made the playoffs. 

    It's a weird hill to die on -  but if you think Choate built Montana State from the ground up have at it. I think you and I have vastly different ideas of what building from the ground up means. 

    Taking over a job where a team had it's first losing season in 20 years (5-6), a team that had won the conference 7 of 10 seasons  -- is not a rebuild and it is certainly not from the ground up - it's simply righting the ship.

    Though anyone saying that Ford did not improve through out the year has an axe to grind. 

    I mean, I do have an axe to grind - Choate is terrible at his job.

    Ford's biggest improvement was simply being put on the field and he was only on the field when injury forced Choate's hand because ... wait for it .... Choate did a terrible job this year. He was all over the goddamn field vs. OkSt. and that had nothing to do with developing over the year. He showed as much in the last few games of 2020 which is why so many of us on this board were excited about him. Do you think Overshown, Gbenda, Richardson, and Brockermeyer all showed improvement as the season went on as well, proving your point on development by showing the entire unit? Or maybe is it simply that Ford is a better player than the guys in front of him and should've been playing all season only proving my point?

    Sucks that Harris will return, but hopefully they hold him more accountable this year. 

    who is they? Sarkisian and CDC? No one is holding them accountable for fielding the worst Texas team of the modern era.

    and Choate has got to be a better coach than what his unit showed last year, he built that Montana state program from the ground up and they are actually great now.

    Uhm, WUT? Montana State was a fucking top 10 team and won the Patriot 3 years running only to be eliminated from the playoffs by NDSU, and SHSU twice. They won their conference 7 times in 10 years with Kramer and Ash before Choate was hired. Choate built fuckall. The dropoff in our LBs from Hutzler to Choate was a fucking cliff and there's no reason that he should still be employed at Texas.

  4. I thought Napier should’ve been interviewed here but we anointed instead of actually interviewing so it’s a cows point. 
     

    @closetojumping has better sources on this than me, so let him clarify if I’m wrong, but my impression is that Saban thinks Napier is THE guy of all his former assistant coaches. anyone who knows me knows I fucking hate the Gators but that was a great hire and it looks like they are saying yes to anything he’s asked for with the expansion in the support staff size and assistants salary pool.

    Anyone know the backstory on why we didn't even offer a 4 star safety from Texas according to his recruiting profile?  Was it more Herman recruiting stupidity or did he just have zero interest in us?  If the latter, anyone know why?

    Because we had Alford and Jerrin in the boat. Because Gonzales had a 4.58 shuttle and a 4.74 40. Because we also were pursuing at various points - Ryan Watts, Chris Thompson, Myles Slusher, Lathan Ransom, Kamar Wilcoxon, Joshua Eaton, Sam Adams, and Bryson Washington.

    Show your cards.

    Willful ignorance certainly is a choice. 
     

    who led the team in TFLs this year? Jaylan Ford and yet Brockermeyer played almost 500 snaps, and he would’ve been well over 500 if not injured. 
     

    Ray Thornton was not just our lowest graded defender this season, he is the lowest graded defensive player at Texas that anyone can remember and he played 500 snaps. In those 500 snaps that fucking spare had 1 sack and 4.5 TFL. Jett Bush who should never be on the field had 3.5 TFLs and a sack (basically the same production) in 180 snaps and he is not one of the best 33 defensive players on the roster.  schooler. Foster. Etc… 

    meathead coaches do meathead shit. Film at 11.

    This feels like CDC independently asked old buddy Gary to do him a solid and come up and talk to the coaches about a possible role to help fix the defense.  The coaches get all defensive (for once) and are like, why?  Sark makes his public comment on signing day and thinned skinned Gary says fine, fuck off then.  

    The reason Sark made the comment at all is because, like I said before, if Patterson is hired it would be to be prepared for a role as interim HC not as a consultant/QA to fix the defense (despite whatever role is announced publicly) and Sarkisian knows it - hence the defensiveness.

    Bo Nix to aggy makes no sense. He’s an awful passer and his only real strength is that he’s a decent athlete/scrambler. 

    Jimbo likes his QBs to sit in the pocket. 

    Eli Stowers. Haynes King. Zach Calzada. James Foster. James Blackman. Malik Henry. Deondre Francois. De'Andre Johnson. JJ Cosentino. John Franklin III. Jameis Winston. 

    He simply doesn't recruit QBs that fit his scheme. Nix is right in line with this list.
