    Pouncey gone

    The portal may be full of Texas players shortly. Appears it is a leadership issue not a talent issue. God help us these next 4 games.
  2. I think the defense could be much better if we had coaches that knew how to use the personnel we have. And scheme a little bit. Cant be that hard.
  3. I'll go with Earl. Fuck the haters. Fuck twitter.
  4. Now that's just mean right there.
  5. I will always give Mackovic credit for bringing us out of the "3 yards and a cloud of dust" type offense.
  6. Are you sayin there is a slim to none chance either will happen? Probably right.
  7. Honest question. Why do you hire a guy to coach then not let him coach? Ego?
  8. OK.....just a few things. My original thought on hiring TH was we would be looking for a replacement in December 2019. Oh the hostility. This was the wonder child. Born to corch UT. We will dominate for years. OU will be his bitch. I get the enthusiasm after CS, but what I don't get is the repeated insistence of hiring the glamour coach. More credit was given when he beat OU than was taken when he lost to SMU. Now I was never in the position to hire and fire when I worked, and I know some of you guys are. Is this the way it is done in corporate America? I really don't know. Why do people think UT is way, way too big to hire an assistant coach? Is it really any more of a crap shoot than hiring from a G5 program? Our experience says no. My dream is for UT to do a true coaching search and not have the replacement pick out half way thru the season based on one game, or one season. I get that time is critical for recruiting and all, but the right person would be worth it in the long run. I want a guy that will take his and beat yours then take your and beat his. I want somebody whose loyalty is to THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS. I understand ego and loyalty to a staff, but if it aint workin it just aint workin. Ego comes with winning. If you aint winning than you are probably just an arrogant prick. Or a dumb ass. Or both. Alright, thought I would give everyone out there in surly land something to tear apart this morning. You guys have a good'ern and as always...HOOK'EM HORNS.
  9. Are there issues with Chris Ash? Could he be worse? He may not have been head corch material but neither was Kevin Steele.
  10. Its a simple game made complex by simple minds. I stole that. Thanks whoever it was.
  11. I would really, really, really like to believe that, but...…..
  12. Not me. That's why I got negged to Bolivia (and will again after this post. maybe barred). So I just got out. This is not the place for free speech or difference of popular opinion. Anyway, not here to say I told you so, but I originally said that in December 2019 we would be looking a new coach. You can imagine how that went over. Like the OP said, why don't we ever do a coaching SEARCH instead of hiring the hot name. That's a lot of damn money for an impulse hire. I don't know who I would have hired cause I am not in the hiring game, but I am pretty sure this was a done deal before Charlie lost to Kansas. And I would have looked at other options. Herman is a condescending, narcissistic prick. Funny how many people think that's OK cause of the money he makes. Do you think his coaching hires are funny too? Right now I would look at Aranda, Venables maybe. I don't know. But whoever said this is Makovick II (sp) is correct. I want somebody fundamentally sound. I know all about offenses in the B12. But the bottom line is you still have to tackle and cover. That has NEVER changed. Just think what we could do with talent AND coaching. I know that Texas would never stoop to the level of hiring a coordinator. That's way way beneath us. But I hope we look around next time. In the meantime, it will be interesting to see what ole hermmy boy does. As always, Hook'em Horns and FUCK BAYLOR. Neg away cause I have to be an aggy troll. LOL.
  13. Sorry. My bad. Went back and looked and it is not the upside down longhorn. However, my cousin-in-law was at the game (ou fan) and I text him to ask him about it and he said it was. But he is older than me so his eyesight is not good either. Once again....sorry.
  14. I was watching a little of the ou-KSU game Saturday and I noticed that the padded part of the goal post had the ou logo, and right above it there was the upside down Longhorn. First time I had ever noticed that. Any one ever seen that before? I just thought it was bush league. Also maybe this will get your mind off the osu loss and focus on something we can all agree on.....ou sucks.
  15. Well...just fuck baylor.. And I think we will beat WVU. We do need to get past OSU Saturday. And I don't care if we do just enough to win. I thought that is what we are trying to do. Did I miss a memo or something?
  16. Anyone besides me think its funny that Leweyville and ethical standards are mentioned in the same sentence? Kinda like when one of our criminal congressman starts talking about "values".
  17. OK. But the problem was I don't remember any wishbone team that had a QB that was proficient enough in the passing game to really hurt anyone. True, some of our most memorable plays were pass plays (Ark. ND, UCLA) but they were few and far between. But you are correct, it all boils down to athletes (or athlelets if that's what you want to call it). That is still true today.
