2023 Texas Coaching and Support Staff Thread
HateYouAndMyself replied to RaysBoomBoomRoom's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Since no one else has mentioned this: I know I have harped on this before but the NCAA is voting (next week I believe) to basically formalize the removal on coaching caps. You are still limited in how many coaches can directly interact with recruits during games but there will be no caps on how many can be on the field or helping to coach the players during the week. It is essentially just making legal what Bama and some others have been doing for years already anyway. The reason I bring this up is because inevitably Samples is going to get floated for our opening and just as inevitably people will bring up concerns about his player development skills. While those concerns are valid it really just doesn't matter as much moving forward because the position coach simply needs to set a tone and recruit well; actual development and technique can be handled by elite specialized assistants that can now have free reign in practice and development. TLDR: Coaching limit change coming next week means you can hire a 'recruiter first' guy and not have to sacrifice development assuming you have the budget to afford quality assistants under them (spoiler: we do). -

Lmao Jelani thanking both god and "all the pretty ladies that came out today" before announcing Texas. I still have no fucking idea how TCU couldn't find room for him on their roster. Or that we almost didn't consider him a take. It was baffling during the entire process and I was raging when there was talk we might pass on him. He has as high a ceiling (or maybe higher) as any defender in this class and yes including Hill / Derek Williams. Just crazy physical tools even if he probably won't see the field much for a couple years as he finds and learns a new position. -
Texas Basketball Recruiting Notes: Keep Austin Beard
HateYouAndMyself replied to Machinator's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
I am/was obviously aware that he is still a coach on the Nets. I immediately corrected it as such when someone responded. I originally had a much longer comment that mentioned his failure to get anyone interested in hiring him as a head coach or to even get interviews and how he ended up settling for a national team HC gig in fucking Sudan as the only place that would let him run anything but then trimmed it down and it instead ended up looking really stupid. I almost removed the whole bit anyway since mentioning it as a negative was kind of a cheap shot. Fair enough. I'll own that one. /shrug With regards to the rest I never blamed him. I said he was part of the problem. Part. Because he was. I have a family member that works within the Nets and a family friend that is a bench coach for a different NBA team they play regularly. I hear all kinds of insane shit about that organization. Ivey was not THE problem by any means but his bullshit and immaturity certainly didn't help during the Harden fiasco and all the drama before and after his trade. He is lucky as fuck to not have been thrown out on his ass along with Nash and likely would have been this November had Durant not shielded him. Simple as that. The Nets playing well now maybe removes some of the stink on him but anyone suggesting Ivery two years ago and Ivey now have even close to the same rep or perceived hype is delusional and ill informed (or just fucking lying). edit: I mean how in your mind would that even work? How would I be aware of something as obscure as him coaching a damn Sudanese team but not know he was still with the Nets? Even if you think I am completely full of shit and just like google searched the guy I would obviously have still seen he was on the Nets.. But hey I broke the golden rule and went full-retard with how I phrased it so fair enough. -

Nah I worded that poorly. He still has his Nets gig. Meant that the only head coaching job he has been able to find, since interviewing with us, was in Sudan. No one else is clamoring to hire him. The shine on him fell way off after that disastrous run by Brooklyn (both their failure to make use of the roster and the hilariously poorly handled dysfunction) and he is viewed as part of the problem despite managing to save his own job thanks to his connections with Durant. I really don't want to shit on an alumni but I know people involved there and I don't think there is a single power 5 college that would hire Ivey based on the feedback from unbiased personnel around the Nets organization. Him getting our gig would be lunacy. Optics and narratives change. Two years ago we could have honestly sold the idea that we just hired an NBA assistant who was in line to potentially get NBA head coaching jobs. That would move the needle with parents and recruits. Now you have an assistant who only has a job due to his relationship with a malcontent NBA star and who has been a key figure in some of the worst coaching, just in general, in all of basketball over the last couple of seasons. I just don't see how you can spin that and it would be a soft reset for the program. You sure as fuck aren't going to clean up the portal or maintain your hold on our five star recruits by going with a guy unproven and without any shine on his name as is currently the case with Ivey. -

Ivey was given consideration after things blew up with Shaka because there was a heavy push by Durant and some other ex players to at least give him a look. At the time he was considered a high potential NBA assistant coach with the Nets who helped run an offense that people would kill to play in. What happened since is their coaching staff fell apart, that entire org became a dumpster fire and Ivey is now coaching a team in the fucking Sudan because that is the best gig he could find.. Anyone suggesting Ivery you can immediately discount as either just poorly informed or a complete retard. A lot changes in just two years and Ivey is not and absolutely should not be given even the slightest of consideration. -

100% meant GH and just hit the wrong key. Didn't notice until it was too late to edit. I do that for some weird reason with GH a lot (hitting GW instead). I don't even know a GW reporter so not sure why my mind goes full derp. -

If the drama about Blue is simply related to him being pissed about the bowl game usage of our RBs I hardly blame him. Did we not all watch the same game? Sark went full fucking retard trying to make Keilan work as a feature back and not going to Brookes or Blue in even shorter yardage situations is baffling. I assume this is just the most recent issue among many however with GW and others basically saying the equivalent of good riddance.. if not then fuck them because being pissed about the bowl game RB situation is 100% warranted and he hasn't been half the public drama queen as Worthy or others who GW turns around and sucks off at every opportunity. That FSU kid is a stud and would be an excellent addition to the roster regardless of how things play out with Blue. -
Random guess but player 4 could be Baxter. NIL? Over one million. Where did NIL rank? Behind scheme, development and coaching relationships (he came here because of our track record at RB, coach Choice). Who finished Second? FSU but they got in a bit too late and by then I was locked in. Best Food? The one guy who specifically mentions Texas. Advice? Basically regurgitates the exact messaging with regards to development and NIL that Sark constantly repeats.

Dear lord is Brooks that bad a tackler also? I don't think I've ever bothered looking up his PFF stuff since the sample size is so small. I know Holmes was in the like low 30s in tackling over his time at WF when I was looking at some of his film and got curious. I assumed (always a mistake apparently) that Brooks was at least a somewhat decent tackler if they were even remotely considering a move to safety for him. -

If retaining Christian Jones means we perhaps move one of those guys inside to replace Hutson I am all for it. Man did he struggle at times this year. And @ClubWhatever I'll save you the trouble; HateYouAndMyselfAndHolmesAndHutson -

I wouldn't expect much from Holmes. I am trying to keep an open mind with him but he is mediocre in coverage and one of the truly worst tacklers in all of CFB. Film backs that up and if you prefer analytics the same is true with PFF and every other ratings sight. It increases our floor a bit maybe but I have a hard time seeing him making much of a positive impact on this team. I can see the upside there as well but unless he shows up committed fully to improving his tackling I just don't think this staff, with how much they value solo tackling ability in space, trusting him with significant minutes at corner. I think he sees the field, sure, but I highly doubt he will beat out Brooks for that corner spot in any kind of fair competition. Not without improvement. -
2023 Texas Coaching and Support Staff Thread
HateYouAndMyself replied to RaysBoomBoomRoom's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Honestly surprised to see Gilbert make that jump now rather than waiting another month. Unless something has changed since late October the NCAA is still planning to vote in January to increase or outright remove the assistant coach cap. Last I checked it was expected to pass. Once that happens you can get all kinds of creative finding titles and roles for these guys like Gilbert who are critical to the program but road blocked by the traditional coaching tree structure and staff. I'll avoid going entirely down the rabbit hole but the potential ramifications of that rule change are extremely fascinating. Certainly presents opportunities to flex things around and create new roles underneath current coordinators and positional coaches. -

Could also have to do with Jwhit potentially returning. If we are adding a WR from the portal with size as expected plus Jwhit returns there is basically no chance for someone like Hall to see the field next year. Especially not with Cook likely to be play and contribute as a true FR. -

Still somewhat shocked Cain has not entered the portal as well. Just going to assume he is set to graduate either this Spring or after summer classes and wants to (smartly) secure that diploma first. Hard to imagine he ever sees the field for us again in anything but junk time. -

Richardson hitting the portal was likely expected but even still that further increases the chances we hard press for the Tulsa LB. Which is good because we should be doing that anyway. Stanford C is probably the most exciting name of the guys in there so far. Huge potential upgrade. I know everyone kept saying we would only look for an OL if a really elite upgrade presented itself but there is fucking is. He will surely have a fuck ton of options though. -

Nah Burrell is great. Just not someone expected to contribute day one like Lefau and doesn't have the same projected first round ceiling as Hill. Causes him to get spoken about less. -

Benton seems to be our second choice of the current targets behind Pierce. The other late offers are likely fall back options as Benton is also strongly considering Arkansas and Pierce is like 90%+ headed to Michigan. Could certainly be wrong though. -

They really like the Stanford CB (who would be safety for us) that just hit the portal. I don't think he was someone they were targeting before the end of the season but I could see him as the primary pivot now that Anderson and Mathews are far less likely to leave Aggie. -

Lefau especially is huge as I think we might have needed to dip into the portal at LB, even if we Lefau and Hill sign, if he wasn't an EE. If he shows up as expected I think they are confident he can play enough immediately in that Overshown spot they don't need to get a guy. Obviously getting Hill is huge as well but I haven't seen the same expectations of him being a year one impact guy as he likely just shadows Ford and backs him up. -

Jerrin Thompson got most the reps and played well. I still think he is the most over rated player on our entire roster, especially in PFF, since he was slow to adjust to routes and had frankly horrendous ball skills more often than not but he was much improved and a very good player overall for us. Coffey didn't make much an impact and I'm fairly certain we were recruiting people to jump him on depth chart out of portal /shrug.
