  1. Scip and Homer on Muschamp change
  2. Just wonder if Muschamp will make some changes. Heard Gideon mentioned at one pt (sounds like dead). Travaris Robinson and Muschamp are very tight. There is speculation he may join the staff. Anyone heard anything about the defensive staff recently?
  3. I think at DT only Sharma would be considered a pure NG, if anything Texas is light in that area. I think Muschamp was actually a bit more aggressive than Kirby in his defenses, but that was quite a while ago. That tree asks more of the safeties. Read your run key and fire downhill. That should actually be in McDonald's wheelhouse. If you assume this year's version of Derek Williams was Akina related, he should also be an excellent fit. There are a lot of rules in the system, but they are clear. Muschamp did a great job in 08 with a young talented secondary. Would be nice to see that again. https://throwdeeppublishing.com/blogs/news/a-worthy-rival-the-kirby-smart-defense?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBbtr4Uzx0noGiWa16OhXS6itZ3jA2OxQIJwVIM5QixE4HLO3
  4. I do not think there are any players that are mismatches for the system. I think Ty Anthony Smith will be a beneficiary of the move. The CBs are isolated on the outside much more frequently in the Saban system. They do pattern match more and there is more emphasis on taking away the middle of the field (you should see more inside leverage from DBs). Though it is all a bit of guess. We have not seen a true Muschamp called defense in a long time. I am sure has evolved over the years and has some tweaks to Saban/Kirby system.
  5. I dont really try to base this on a talent midget scale, but each to their own. I was hoping for a better game. Te 10he issue is th-12 for 109 yards in the 1st half, which was good. Bengals took a quick look and adjusted. The 2nd half was 10-18 for 151, 2 ints. Passer rating went from ~102 to ~44. That was always a question with Quinn. What happens when the script runs out? Can he limit turnovers? Hopefully, he learns from this game and looks better next week. Gets another chance vs a bad defense (Tampa Bay)
  6. much different tone than the 26.4 QBR would indicate.
  7. funny, my post from the Muschamp thread: Florida was the game that really aggravated me. That was terrible game plan and one that ignored what how the prior 2 teams dismantled them. If there is a hole in PK's ability as a DC, it is his ability to coordinate the entire defense. He has been reliant on strong secondary coaches. That can add volatility to his results. There is a reason most DC come from a secondary or linebacker background.

  9. I have to imagine Colin Simmons is going to be a bid beneficiary of this move. "Thoroughbreds dont go backwards"
  10. believe that was the Marvin Lewis defenses. He coached LBs under Cowher. If I remember correctly that was heavily influenced by Dick LeBeau. Lot of zone blitzes that used deception to rush 4 and play 7 back in zone coverage. Looked aggressive but was always sound. Rex Ryan and Wink were different.
  11. I did not like the term passive either, but I think what he was saying is that great defenses generally get pressure with 4 and not being reliant on blitzing. You can do that with great talent or through line games/zone blitzes (LeBeau)
  12. I think he had money to do it and chose family over football. He was a cog in the Georgia system. I do not think Georgia will unravel with Muschamp gone. People are over playing his time there. I am sure he learned some things in Georgia and i hope he brings them to Texas.
  13. PK was excellent. DFEI: 2022; #8 2023: #6 2024: #3 2025: #13 SEC scoring averages (SEC play): 2024: 15.56 pts (#1 in the conference) 2025: 17.5 pts (#3 in the conference). Texas happened to play the #1 (Vandy), #8 (Georgia), #9 (OSU), #11 (A&M), and #15 (ARk) offenses in OFEI this season. I am not sure how this plays out. I think Muschamp is an excellent DC. Just my opinion but I believe this is about style and not results. Sark wants to be more aggressive. He has talked about getting after the QB and playing more man consistently. I think games like UK irked him. Kentucky did not score much, but they were able to control the clock with ball control offense.
  14. Be prepared for more volatility. Even if Texas gives up the same pts per game. MUschamp is very aggressive. He will bury bad offense, but also get lit up occasionally by good offenses due to his aggression
  15. IT has been pushing that Texas is not a very strong team. Waddlington has been saying that for a while. He believes they do not do enough heavy lifting. Lot of that is based on the OL. I have no opinion or knowledge on the veracity of that
  16. You can call it a weakness or a double edge sword for PK, but he is pliable. He is very open to suggestions and works well with people. When the chemistry is right, it is extremely effective. There are times when that also bites him in the ass. Akna and the Florida game come to mind.
  17. true, but look at PK's results DFEI: 25:13 24: 3 23: 6 22: 8 21: 47 3 top 10 defenses in the last 4 years, so it is a high bar for Muschamp to be a success. Sark is replacing one of the best DCs in the country. This is not like firing Akina.
  18. hard to argue with PK's results. No idea if this works out, but it certainly comes with risk.
  19. I am not sure this will make Texas a better defense, but it will definitely change how they play defense. Much more aggressive defense. It may make Texas a more physical team and culture.
  20. I dont recall Arch having issues with Endries and/or Livingstone. First couple games Arch and Wingo just could not connect. It was either uncatchable or dropped.
  21. I did that earlier in the year and Endries had like a 70- 80% completion per target. Wingo was the one that Arch could not throw to. Wingo finished pretty ugly on the year. 50 catches, 91 targets, and 770 yards (8.5 per target)
  22. He had 8.5 sacks in conference and 9.5 TFLs Colin had 9.5 sacks in conference and 12 TFLs and that is s a superior conference schedule.
  23. That really not the argument against Flood. OL is tough to evaluate coming out of HS. Misses can happen. The real issue is Flood had in depth knowledge of the OL group coming into the 2025 season and he did not go into the portal to shore up the holes. I would add his personnel decisions were inexplicable
  24. I am not as worried about TE. I think there is serious talent in that room receiving wise. What they lack in the room is an in-line TE. That isnt Endries.
  25. Tua is signed for 56.4mm for next year. I have a feeling he may need a bull horn to give Miami management a piece of his mind. I would be surprised if they did not cut him, assuming Tua does not take a pay cut. You cannot lock up that kind of money and get Tua production. Miami OL is bad, but Tua is massively overpaid.
