The Athletic Scoops Sark interested in NFL Jobs
HateYouAndMyself replied to TexasMan's topic in Football
Sort of? That whole situation was weird. We knew we were back channeling with Meyer but when that failed it became a much bigger debate over whether Herman would get another year. There weren't really any obvious candidates out there which was certainly part of it. Then you had Casey Thompson look like a god in the bowl game and it would have given CDC all the justification he needed to actually give Herman a final season. Those more in touch with what was happening behind closed doors all knew that the situation was not salvageable and that half our roster was seriously going to quit on the team and leave if Herman had been kept. That wasn't known as much publicly, even on boards like Surly, until after Herman was let go though. TLDR It went from "Herman is definitely gone" -> "Herman is maybe gone..?" -> "Well Thompson does look really good so maybe another year?" -> RIP Herman -

Add Akina to the chopping block honestly. The defense has been really good in a few games sure but most of the time that secondary is as easy for WRs to penetrate as Sark's wife. -

You just mentally blocking out that arguably the worst game our OL and QB have had... was at home? Against UTEP? "You can't expect year three players to perform well in a hostile environment like their home stadium against a satellite school!" Seriously. Stop stop trying to make excuses for what has been horrible OL play for basically six years now. People losing their minds saying the program is about to completely implode do need to be slapped back into reality a bit but offensive scheme, QB development and OL development have been objectively awful for years now and a direct roadblock to our success. We are building a level of talent around the program that we can consistently have great seasons in spite of all of this but most of that was serious overachievement by specific units on the field that cannot be asked to replicate that every season. -

Definitely what it feels like watching these games. Extremely frustrating. I've been trying very hard to be objective and always keep in mind just how bad things were for awhile under the past two regimes but I mean holy fuck we shouldn't be happy with 'bad' just because it isn't as bad as before. -

Flood better be a dead man walking at this point. The OL is just completely indefensibly terrible yet again under him. I get it is awkward to bitch about our OL because as a whole we've been much improved compared to the dark days under Strong and Herman but this year's OL might be as bad as any of those units were. The IOL has been putrid and near the bottom of our conference ranks every season under him. Really the only bright spot has been natural talents like Banks who were just already great from the day they arrived.- 1591 replies

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
HateYouAndMyself replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
We probably need to hit up the portal for a starting top end LT this Winter anyway. If Goosby does what most of us expect him to do that guy is off to the first round of the NFL after this season. You going to trust Manning's blind side in his final season at Texas to Chatman? Brooks? Baker hasn't exactly wowed people so far on campus anyway but is more suited to RT. Not a lot there at LT to inspire confidence though Brooks was getting great reviews at one point from the staff iirc. If this were a Banks 2.0 situation and either Turntine or Ojo were projectible day one starters then sure maybe you consider going way above market rate. That isn't how people view these two. -

I didn't mean actually making the sweet 16 every season. I mean having that level of expectations for the team. Going into the year thinking "okay this is a top 15 caliber roster". I'll take being excited about the potential of the roster every year over the bullshit we've mostly had where you are thinking even in December that at best you may win a game with a favorable draw before being bounced.

Sean Miller wouldn't be a bad hire. You could realistically expect to make the Sweet 16 every couple of years. That would be a level of consistent success we haven't had since that first phase under Barnes. Is he going to realistically contend for SEC titles or final fours though? Doubt it. But will he consistently get your kids to produce to the level they are capable of? Sure. Considering we have enough NIL firepower to consistently give him (or whoever is our next coach) a top 15-20 caliber roster every season that should result in a solid if not jaw dropping basketball program. If that is the ceiling of our expectations we should all be gruntled if he is indeed the hire. Personally I think Will Wade has more upside but also more risk. That is who I have wanted us to pursue because I think the chances of him catching fire and becoming one of the top 5-10 coaches in the sport is pretty damn high. Lloyd would be a similar hire in that he has showed some growing pains since taking over at Arizona but also shown signs he might quickly become one of the best in the sport. Going to be interesting to see whether CDC focuses on high ceiling or high floor.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out
HateYouAndMyself replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
He will be told to leave... by other teams and likely his family and friends after they see the kind of money I expect gets thrown his way if he stays productive. Especially if Baxter is on pace to come back healthy and is showing no setbacks in his rehab this Spring. Eh whatever I'm done arguing this stupid shit. It makes no sense whatsoever to suggest that Texas would process out a quality RB when we are shallow there but if it for some reason satisfies some weird need of yours to believe that was my intent then by my guest. I corrected that misconception about a minute after my post in the first place. -

That was never my take. I never said anything about Texas processing Wisner and I honestly assumed it went without saying (and it should to anyone above a fucking room temp IQ) that I was referring to other teams throwing money at him. Honestly the idea of Texas processing Wisner is so incredibly idiotic that it simply never occurred to me as something my words could be interpreted as. I get this is Surly and being judgmental cunts is part of the fun. I opened myself up to that with poor phrasing 🤷♂️. I do still think the most likely outcome at RB is Wisner leaves for a payday and better chance at starting elsewhere and we go get some speed back to provide more of a change of pace (unless Nisbett really impresses the coaches). -

You seem to be mistaking my point. Wisner is good enough to start for a number of decent power conference teams. At the same time I'd argue Gibson is already better than him and Baxter, if he comes back anywhere close to 100%, is going to start for us next year either way. Maybe you took my 'encouraged to portal' as in he would get processed or something like that. I meant it as he is going to get encouraged to go take the money and be a starting RB somewhere instead of be RB3 or worse for us getting only a few touches a game. If he he keeps playing like he is and can stay healthy the opportunities will be out there. -

My expectation is that Wisner gets encouraged to go seek a larger role with a different program (he would be back in RB3 at absolute best duties with us next year if not lower on the depth chart) and we go get a speedier back to provide some variance to Gibson/Baxter in the Rb rotation.
