  1. Extremely high. It is one of the things helping us against Georgia right now. Even if Monken does not get a HC gig this year he is almost certainly going to be gone by the time Manning gets on campus. That makes his relationship with Kirby Smart more important than anything they build with Monken.. and Smart is the kind of greasy used car salesman the Manning family reportedly doesn't resonate well with. In the very least it helps slow the process down and removes the risk of him going ahead and committing to Georgia some point in November. Would think we are the only program he would lock himself to before ~February because he is likely wanting to see the replacement OC, if they get one, first for understandable reasons.
  2. Highly doubt Pole Assassin is going to be on board with a relocation to Pullman. There is also the issue of his kids; I don't know the current status of that dynamic and its really none of our fucking business but when coming to Texas one of the stated reasons was being closer to them. Not going to fully dismiss it because yeah.. its his alma mater, but it wouldn't make a ton of sense for him when comparable gigs in this region are likely to come calling soon as well.
  3. For thinking that Sark will look to upgrade the DB staff if a unique opportunity presents itself? If the Co-DC tag is available and he actually has a real shot at landing someone like Raymond, now clear of the scandal, or Coombs if OSU is stupid enough to cut him entirely loose or he doesn't accept the demotion? I never said either situation was likely, nor do I expect Choate gets that job in the first place, but you either think that Jospeh is untouchable (making you a fucking moron) or you think Sark isn't ruthless enough to fire a guy after year one.. in which case you are still a fucking moron but also clueless.
  4. Well yeah.. whoever we brought in would be replacing either Joseph or Gideon. We would still need to also fill the LB role.
  5. Would love to have the excuse to part ways amicably with Choate. Not saying we should be trying to force him out the door or anything but freeing up that Co-DC tag would go a long ways towards allowing us to bring in an elite guy for the secondary. He has been.. fine, in recruiting, but I can't think of anyone likely to bail on us if he were to depart.
  6. It was already answered above. Raymond was in the middle of a major sexual assault coverup scandal at LSU. It was a non-starter with compliance even though anyone with half a fucking brain knew the investigation would get buried and none of it land on current coaches (exactly what happened btw).
  7. I'm not going to defend the fucking idiocy or bias within our compliance department but the Raymond situation came at the worst possible time. Everything was still in the air with the sexual assault coverup investigation going on at LSU. Even a more reasonable and fair compliance team would have likely pumped the breaks on a candidate that might well be outed just a couple months later as a major player in a scandal that size. Raymond came out of that fairly clean afaik so it should be an easier sell moving forward. Hard to imagine the new LSU coach not wanting him to say or him picking Texas even IF we could get him cleared so probably a mute point.
  8. Blue leaving makes sense considering how we are just feeding Bijan every game. We haven't really had much choice in the matter, if we want to win, but Blue was sold on the idea that even with one top RB everyone else would still get to eat. He even praised us for that on twitter a few games into the season. It struck me as odd at the time because Sark is literally known for just hammering the ball to the best 2-3 guys at their respective positions over and over again. 'Spreading the love' is not exactly a mantra he endorses (for the most part). In the games since Blue tweeted that glowing praise about 'Everyone eats at Texas" we've not really seen Brooks once, Roschon's role feels greatly diminished (stats might say otherwise) and Keilan isn't exactly getting many traditional rushes. It is what it is. Then you look at Miller popping the fuck off this season and it is completely understandable he might be feeling some buyer's remorse at the moment.
  9. It is true that he would probably react poorly to a proposed permanent move to the slot but the current situation is vastly different from what he faced at Bama. They wanted to move him permanently to WR, on a team loaded at the position with elite talent, and he was unlikely to ever get any carries out of the backfield there again. We can offer him a return to RB in the Spring and a continuance of the same handful of touches from the backfield he is getting now in the interim. Shouldn't be hard to convince a kid with NFL aspirations the value of playing ~20 snaps a game for the rest of the season in the role he will almost certainly be playing in the next level. All that said.. he might just fucking suck at running routes. Might not be able to catch a damn thing if its contested. There are plenty of reasons why moving Moore inside and going with Washington, whose a great run blocker, on the outside could be the better move. I would hope we see more creativity and experimentation after the bye week with personnel packages.
  10. Purely hypothetical? Like if Sark were struck by lightning tomorrow? At this point I would hire Kiffin for the memes. If we are going to suck the exact same way no matter who our coach is at least hire someone who will provide for hilarity off the field.
  11. "Come to Texas where you only have to play the first half!"
  12. why is this FUCKING RETARD throwing a goddamn screen into coverage on second and fucking oNE???? Sark is actually even more goddamn brain dead than fucking Herman was. This is just astounding idiocy
  13. This playcalling continues to be fucking awful in the second half
  14. Anyone know who/what this is referencing? Doesn't seem like it is anyone who actually went to that HS on our current roster so I am guessing a travel team?
  15. It is weird seeing ACTUAL highschool level football after only really peeking in on showcase games with the elite HS teams better than most JUCO squads.
  16. The rare 5'8 320lb DL causing havoc
  17. That was actually a really nice play by the safety breaking up a TD
  18. I know I shouldn't be laughing this hard at what is probably some 14 year old kicker but holy shit that was bad
  19. Thats a good point. I might actually start to believe the curse is ending if Rattler bails and Williams gets hurt. I was taking it for granted that everyone had already accepted Rattler transferring as inevitable. My 'this is bad for us' was in reference to it being the least beneficial scenario of the many ways it could have played out (in response to the original reporting that he had basically ragequit the team.. which is perhaps not proving accurate). It was a nitpicky point in the first place and I worded it extra poorly. Obviously I agree that the Rattler situation as a whole is a huge positive for us no matter how it plays out.
  20. I was thinking more along the lines of if Williams struggled at all you might see Riley's ego come into play, try to force Rattler back onto the team and it really piss a lot of kids off. We've seen better coaches do worse. Either way I was likely being needlessly contrarian just to bring up the 'not as good as we could have hoped for' instead of just celebrating an obvious fuck up by OU.
  21. Obviously Rattler entering the portal is a net positive for Texas. That has been inevitable since halftime of the RRS. The question was whether it would go quickly or he would linger around as a distraction and potentially fracture their team. So yes; of the potential outcomes of this situation Rattler entering the portal quickly is the worst. Still a positive overall but this is the 'bad end' for us vs him sticking around being a distraction and potentially fracturing that team if Campbell hits a wall over the next couple of games and struggles (as most true FR do.. though that kid certainly looked ready). Beyond all of that Rattler is just a tedious cunt to be around in general per basically anyone whose ever had to spend more than an hour in a room with him so, if for no other reason than pure spite, its natural to have hoped he would wait till after the season to transfer. Riley deserved having to deal with that lizard on the daily for two more months.
  22. Rattler entering portal is bad news for us. Was hoping OU situation would turn into a fucking dumpster fire or Riley would keep trying to start the reptile and lose the support of the team. Unlikely but a man can dream. Rattler getting the fuck out asap just makes him look like a whiny bitch (which to be fair he his) and lets Riley just say "look it isn't my fault this kid is a head case" and excuse his failure in developing him.
  23. I might agree with you if this were late 2022 but we are just so far away from when he would ever take the field with us I really don't think it matters. Were he a 2022 player, and our OL play / recruitment in that area did not improve from where it is currently sits.. then yeah. Sure. I could see it being a serious issue that probably take a lot of finessing with the family. As-is I doubt it even rates as a notable concern. In the very least I do not see it stopping Arch from committing (potentially as soon as the next few weeks). If we reach November next season and our QBs continue to get killed and we have yet again shit ourselves recruiting on the front? Sure. He probably won't sign here commitment or not. Fuck ton of time before then and its very unlikely if we actually land Arch that we will not also rope in some beasts in the portal and 2023 OL class.
  24. The Sanders situation is frustrating but we have Wiley who is a physical monster with solid hands also getting no work. I've been screaming all season for him to be in there every RS situation running jump ball outlet routes and we finally got him one this weekend. Outside of Worthy/Keialn speed on deep routes the single biggest mismatch we can create on the offensive side of the ball is Wiley vs a safety. Far too few targets. He should be the third most targeted player on this fucking team unless I am just wildly over estimating the quality of his hands (can only go by what I've seen). Secondary staff was the major concern coming in and the players have looked even worse than I expected. I feel like the next two points are related.. Keilan unquestionably has the speed to line up in the slot. He doesn't have elite hands but can't be fucking worse than our gaggle of Jag options there now that Whittington is injured (again). Unless he is just a historically bad route runner I'm hoping he starts getting serious work in the short term in that spot Whit was filling. Majors played like he had put money on OU to cover.
