  1. The GOP Reps in the House have chained themselves to Trump. Now the senate GOPs can do the same thing.

    How will that look if Trump's financial records are released and it's finally revealed that he's guilty of fraud?

    How will that look when Lev finishes his flip and drags in Guiliani? 

    The GOPs will be tied to a minority of virulent, racist, idiots.

    I suspect the GOP will be implicated in a broad foreign bribery scheme. I see no reason to think what we know about the Eastern European money, the NRA, Lev&Igor, Manafort, and Flynn are anything other than the tip of the tip of the corruption ice berg. Somewhere, enterprising reporters must be digging out this story. Reporters who aren't afraid to believe a mortifying truth.

    Maybe the GOPs are all in on Trump because it's the only victory available to them. It will be short term. It will likely permanently cripple the republic, but ultimate defeat and maybe jail will be delayed for these traitors. 

    Sadly, even when they go down, the GOPs will leave a ruined nation crowned by a the diamond tiara of a tiny percentage of super wealthy supported blindly by serfs who can't see past the red, white and blue shit in their eyes.

    A shining shit hill on a city.

    Roma, I don't visit this thread for information, I come here purely as entertainment.

    Were you not entertained by my metaphor? Also, I didn't write anything about the content on the thread. I just made a surly observation about the hyperventilation.

    I am glad to know why you come to this thread.

    Which is going to make it awkward if naviar and washington are both let go.. who is gonna be the coaches for the bowl game? Does Tom announce Ash then wait til after the bowl game to let them go?

    I'm guessing they'll be paid for staying through the bowl game. Maybe a bump in addition to their contracts.

    Another likely blow to farmers. I've always thought of these programs as helping both the poor and the food producers.

     But the Trumpists who believe themselves to be hard asses will applaud and wave their guns.

  5. Turley is going to make so much money on the conservo speaking circuit and working for their think tanks. He's the Jimbo Fisher of impeachment law specialists.

    I'd like to know who he has been talking to lately, because I would not be surprised if there's not a quid pro quo in his immediate past.

    The GOPs claiming that impeachment is invalid without at least some cross party voting is rich. It's like saying a RICO case can't go forward unless some of the accused are on the jury.

    I hate these traitorous villains.

    Well if that's not the goal, then I've completely missed something.  Why exactly are they subjecting us to this, then?  To stick Trump with being the 3rd President to be impeached by the House?   yeah, that'll bother him.

    It's the right thing to do whether Trump is removed or not. He committed crimes.

    Your feigned pragmatism must be the latest GOP rude to stay on the wrong side of this, yet appear sane.

    Fuck that

    No way in hell this thread goes off topic.

    Who could object to some jibes and snark? Some of it is even amusing. I just wanted a place where the usual flood of repeated complaints (many valid) don't drown out news. It's a beating reading through 30 posts about Herman's arrogance or what an ideal staff would look like when you just want to know if anything is going on.

    I read the other thread, too. But the rumor of Harrell at Belmont is nice to find without a search.

    We'll see if this thread serves a purpose. Most of the threads I start sink like stones. A bit of me dies each time.

    You simultaneously tell us to avoid marrying ourselves to generalizations while generalizing the board's behaviors and thinking processes. 

    Just a rhetorical device to avoid the divisiveness which some posters thrive on. I, myself, actually don't fall into the "we" thinking I describe, but I don't care about that distinction in making the overall point. 

    I don't think I dismiss persons who can make sound arguments about Herman's fitness. I just don't think those theories are yet proven while I do think a person can change. If he falls in your category of mental illness/disparity, then my little hope about change is, indeed, hopeless.

    I don't mind waiting and seeing.

    This is seriously what every one of these kids needs to learn.  

    I'm old enough to have played in Jr. High (middle school) when that was a big part of what was expected of us. We were expected to have good grades and be good students in every way. We ran punishment or got swats for poor grades and behavior mishaps.

    A friend of mine pointed out long ago how you can see women athletes in high school and college applying their efforts all across the board.

  10. I was forced to quit as a junior in high school. It sucks. I can only imagine what it's like to have such stellar promise and then to be denied when you're ready to take the next step.

    Apply the work ethic that made you a football star to your life efforts, my friend, and you will go far. Hope you stay at Texas and get your degree. 

    Still, this just sucks for him.

  11. Thanks Mo from the Coaching Staff 2020 Thread:

    This was posted over in the Recruiting thread, seems it needs to be here as well. NSIAP.

    Thanks @Getafix

    The Stampede (Pt. 2): WR coaches that could boost recruiting

     

      Hide contents

    There are now several openings on the Texas coaching staff. After former wide receivers coach Drew Mehringer was dismissed and Corby Meekins was re-assigned, the Longhorns are left with former analyst Andre Coleman in an interim role for the bowl season. Traditionally, the wide receiver coach position is usually reserved for one of the stronger recruiters on staff, but they also must be a strong teacher of the position.

    The new offensive coordinator hire will probably have to weigh in on who his new wide receiver coach is, but the Longhorns have a chance to make their team better while strengthening their recruiting staff with the right hire at the position. I spoke to several recruiting sources around the state of Texas to get an idea of what coaches would be the ideal targets for Tom Herman and his future offensive coordinator.


    Regardless of the current state of the program, there is still a lot of power and prestige that comes with wearing the Longhorn logo on the chest. Texas should be able to land a great candidate for the job.

     

    Emmett Jones, Kansas

    Background: Jones played his high school ball at Seagoville and then walked on at Texas Tech before entering the coaching profession after graduating from North Texas. Jones rose to prominence as the offensive coordinator for legendary high school coach Reginald Samples at Dallas Lincoln and Dallas Skyline. Jones then moved on to accept the head coaching position at South Oak Cliff before taking a collegiate position at Texas Tech in 2015. When Kliff Kingsbury was fired, Jones took a position on Les Miles’ staff at Kansas. On the field, Jones was integral in the development of Texas Tech receivers Antoine Wesley, TJ Vasher, and Keke Coutee. 


    On the recruiting trail, Jones was responsible for landing players such as Velton Gardner, Ta'Zhawn Henry, SaRodorick Thompson, Riko Jeffers, and Steven Parker.


    On the Field: Jones has a strong relationship as a wide receiver developer, and he has experience in multiple offenses. The bulk of his collegiate experience came under Kliff Kingsbury as an air raid coach assigned raw but athletic prospects at the position. Jones also has a strong reputation among the players who play under him.

    Impact: Jones would instantly be one of the most dangerous recruiters in the country. He’s been able to put together strong groups at Texas Tech and Kansas, but that would be nothing compared to what he could do with the Texas logo backing him. Jones would specifically shine in south Dallas where his ties to the area and knowledge of prospects provide him with a built-in advantage no other in-state team has.

    One south Dallas coach I spoke with said, “He would win recruiter of the year at Texas. It wouldn’t even be close. He will shut down Dallas if they let him loose.”


    Interest: In speaking with several sources familiar with Jones, I was told that while he has a good thing going at Kansas, it would be difficult to turn down a chance to recruit for Texas. Should the Longhorns make an offer, I expect him to take a long look at it.

     

    Ra'Shaad Samples, SMU

    Background: Texas fans are no stranger to Samples. A former standout at Dallas Skyline (under Emmett Jones), Samples signed with Oklahoma State but ended up transferring to the University of Houston. Following his playing career, Samples served as an offensive assistant where he worked with running backs, receivers, and quarterbacks. Samples later followed Tom Herman to Texas and assisted Drew Mehringer with wide receivers while serving as an on-campus recruiter. 

    Samples was key in helping Texas open doors in south Dallas which was something they hadn’t been able to do under Herman. He played a big role in landing Ja’Quinden Jackson who plays for Samples’ father Reginald at Duncanville, and he served as a primary point of contact for several other prospects before being hired by SMU in a full-time on-field coaching role.


    On the Field: This is Samples’ first year as an on-field assistant, but he has experience working with most of the receivers on the current Texas roster. His inexperience could be a negative factor, but SMU wide receivers have been incredibly productive this season and he comes from a strong tradition of coaching.

    Impact: Samples made a big splash with the Dallas to Austin movement while on staff at Texas. His recruiting impact carried over to SMU where Samples has the Mustangs in the race for several big-name prospects. Samples has obvious connections at Duncanville, but he would be an effective recruiter in any region. His name carries enough power, and his relationship-building skill and genuine personality allow him to relate to kids from many different social backgrounds.


    Interest: Samples loved his time at Texas, but an on-field role at SMU was too tough for him to turn down. Samples is starting to build quite a following back in his home city, but Texas would be a strong move for his career.

     

    Jeff Traylor, Arkansas

    Background: Traylor is currently the associate head coach and running backs coach for Arkansas. The former Texas assistant rose to prominence as a high school coach and turned his alma mater Gilmer into a Texas powerhouse.

    Traylor was hired by Texas after winning three state championships at Gilmer and served under Charlie Strong for his last two years in Austin. Traylor went on to serve under Chad Morris at SMU and followed him to Arkansas last year. With Morris out at Arkansas, Traylor will be a coveted free agent. Traylor has been a jack of all trades coaching special teams, tight ends, and running backs at the college level.

    On the Field: Traylor doesn’t have college experience coaching receivers, but there’s little doubt he could do it. Traylor’s offenses in high school were among the most innovative in the state, and his wealth of coaching experience means he could likely transition to the position easily.

    Impact: Traylor has been a dynamite recruiter at the college level, and his influence in east Texas is unmatched. Texas fans saw that when Traylor helped to land players such as Brandon Jones and Montrell Estell. Traylor would continue to lockdown east Texas, and he has the ability to step in as a specialist in any region of the state. Traylor’s lack of experience at the receiver position would be offset by his tremendous recruiting ability and reputation as a player’s coach.

    Interest: A source I spoke with during the fall said that Traylor was the only assistant from Strong’s staff that Tom Herman had an interest in keeping. Traylor was considered for an off-field role but chose to move on and keep coaching. The same source indicated that Traylor would very much be open to the idea of returning to Austin.

  12. Somebody please start a new thread when there is news. This is like an overflow pond for all the other threads. It also seems to be rife with speculation adopted as fact and then wrapped in confirmation bias.

    I think everyone is on record multiple times about multiple aspects of just a few subjects.
