2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
My point is that Sark got WM to control defense - greatness after all the work PK did - next level WM. I think we are hindered by Flood at this point and Sark needs to break that, friendship or not. We have 4+ years of evidence that he is no longer elite on recruiting talent or developing them as we need for a championship. 3* projects aren't going to get us a title. That's just a fact. The reason after having 4 years for Flood to get a next OL in place is disturbing. Most likely Arch's final year - that means a new QB after him. And we don't after 4 years of Flood have a plan... Yes, we will portal hard on things but Flood is an issue on this. Our Ol should have been better period. Shouldn't take half a season to figure it out. I love my Longhorns - under and grad there and suffered through some bad time while in school (football). I just think Flood should be upgraded and I think history shows why for that salary. I'd have fired him 3rd year tbh.

Please tell me how awesome our OL recruiting has been and development? Once you stop gagging on cum .

And also, look at the penalties our lack of discipline on the OL has caused - holding, offsides, whatever. Isn't that Flood's group? Shit his group alone cost us at least 50 yards a game... Factor being just bad - add another 30 yards minimum for Arch running for his life. That's a minimum of 80 yards a game due to Flood sucking on recruiting or developing or taking half a season to get a little better. This is the best Texas has? Glad we aren't GA or tOSU or similar. But hey, we're going to retain this shit ...- 2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
The fact that Sark hasn't replaced Flood is ridiculous. Look at our OL recruiting - it's 4 years of fucking bread. First year was great then bread. This year is bread. And don't tell me Turntine - he's listed at 6.3 and 260 which probably means 6.1 and 250 - 3 year project and not an OT build. Missing on Lee was a horrendous disaster. The miss on Ojo I understand. Retaining Flood will end Sark here, period. The bullshit from this year, we don't recruit OL from the portal - how'd that shit work out? Flood had 4 years to get his 2nd OL together and has failed in every way. And this year 2025 we get more bread and basically a TE who isn't a OT. Of course Turntine looks great in HS as a OT killing 190lb guys, he's 50lbs undersized for college and doesn't have a college OT build. Use him as a TE which apparently we suck at recruiting any that can block. You guys that lift tell us, how hard is it to put 50lbs of good weight on a body? Not fucking easy, especially if your metabolism and frame doesn't want it. How many of Flood's bullshit recruits have panned out? Few - maybe one a year. News flash - OL needs 5 and back-ups. This project recruiting on OL is why we will have to pay a tremendous amount in portal and pray they work as a team - not good after having 4 years for Flood to sit on his ass. Even if we fix this shitstorm via portal - wasted resources after 4 years of Flood shit recruiting. Georgia Tech OL was better than ours against GA - ffs what does it take to get a decent OL recruiter and coach? Edit: PK was the least of my concerns but WM - yep got to do that and replace Akina. Flood is the my biggest issue (kinda obvious probably).- Tell Me About Texas a&m
Couple of things from my perspective: OU is our clear #1 rival. I hate losing to them but (cheating aside) I semi respect them. They are a true blood like us (this is a fact). Usually a good program, history, championships, Heisman players, etc. A&M is a want to be. Clear #2/3 (Arky is miserable too). Losing to them is bad. No real history, stupid stuff called tradition - to them taking a shit is probably a tradition, a championship in 1939, acting like fools always, blathering on about how great they are or will be next year, conspiracy theories, etc. This thread is nothing about obsession. It's for us to laugh at ignorance from delusional clowns. A&M is the Jerry Springer guest for college football. Obsession is them doing Horns down at everything. Their existence is defined by Texas.- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
Not for me but easy for people to figure it out. And ouch my time at Texas, we were 2-4 against them - Mackovic and I think one year of another coach prior to him ( David McWilliams or something?).- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
Just in case anyone is sauced (I know, highly unlikely with this group), the cumulative didn't sort. So the cumulative for 2025 is at 1894. Thanks for that info @LOHorn. I can check if it was as bad as I recall for my attendance years ...- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
How does this work with their BS code about lie cheat steal or whatever... Through 2024: The Sun Devils athletic department has now been penalized 10 times by the NCAA for major infractions, according to the NCAA Legislative Services database, tying SMU for the top spot on the list. No other school has been penalized more in the history of the NCAA. Texas A&M is third, with nine penalties, with a slew of schools right behind the Aggies with eight (Auburn, Baylor, Florida State, Alabama, Memphis, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Wichita State). https://sports.yahoo.com/arizona-state-now-most-penalized-190929163.html Aggie led this metric for quite a few years iifc.- Texas A&M Recruiting 2027: Elko's Cholesterol - Not Great, Not Terrible
Aggy is paying too much money at this point in time for most 2026 and 2027 recruits. Also look at visits. Kid sees one school they offer NIL - sold. It wouldn't shock me if they get in over their skis on NIL. Above strategy, it would be fiscally stupid not to commit. Kid has a floor set. It's top tier gambling and if some of those kids look great, easy to make aggy do stupid things on NIL. We don't get serious until June+ about NIL. I do wish we'd get in sooner for OL and not focus so hard on 1 guy. We've had way to many 6th or lower on our board takes. We've had to go with scraps too often. 2027+ players we should build relationships. Kid comes in and the only NIL mention should be - keep doing great and we'll have you taken care. IMO.- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
Of course our large money donors whisper to random aggy insurance agents about their finances, NIL, etc. Clearly, a strongly worded letter is in order for our donors. It is beyond amazing what these guys make up. I'm hearing the local College Station buffets have a Not Allowed poster of Elko taped on the door? Any ideas? Wiggins is a top 3 type OC - this hire has got NC all over it - book it. We should tap into the aggy whisper network to confirm this. Getting bounced/losing first round in the CFP makes some aggy poster (this is real - just too lazy to find it) very concerned on their NC title this year.- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
I think this is accurate. Mackovic, nice of a guy as he was, all offense all the time - never even thought about defense. Every good athlete - offense. Remember when Sark was hired all the talk about him calling plays? It might be in his contract - I've never read it. He is an elite offensive mind and thought of one among his peers.- 2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
@Park GothicI really don't know sir and you may be right. I just know the man is human and has been through some real stress - the kind that can temporarily break people. I think many of us have seen some of the things I speculated on break strong as granite friends for a bit. Whatever happened (no idea - didn't notice or know), he's back and fixing some things on his staff. If we could target an OL coach - any ideas from some that know more than me (most of you - I have a buddy that spent years with the 49ers as a OL and knows his stuff is my all) about a target? I want a new safeties coach too. Muschamp is human and will have plenty - don't want him tied up coaching a position. Oversee it all, yes.- 2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
Edit: His kid or wife good have been ill. Anyone that's had a child or decent wife knows how this can scare you. I do realize there are a fair portion on you that wife sick - cha-ching let that bitch suffer some. Fairly certain he needed a bit of time for one or a combo of those. I never knew he took a bit of time but hope it helped him.- 2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
Only speculation but the man has had a rough marriage. Going from getting divorced, ok we're going to work on it to having a kid. Anyone that has been married for a bit of time knows such a public getting divorced to all the other things is very odd. I've seen these things break people for a time. His job is hard. There are no days off. Stress can beat you down from this alone add in the above stuff. He may have just needed a mental break. He's also a recovering alcoholic. There's a reason those support groups have mentor type people. That never goes away. Maybe he needed a bit of time with recentering himself considering how much he was dealing with. Or shit, maybe he had COVID. All just ideas - no facts. But those are things that can beat a person down. I really like Sark and how he represents Texas. I'm cheering for him and respect the man. Now there has to be a badass OL coach we can money whip out there?- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
Well they did score 3 points, right? That's a goddamn aggy title right there. Oh it will plastered all over their stadium.- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
we are straying and I fear @immamac. We, I think sometimes forget how good Priest Holmes was and his NFL contributions. My only, no point was to tell part of why Texas is a real Blue Blood. I'm glad some of you remember and thank you @Pato del Muerto @UDontKnow @South Austin @Armybratas always sir. Aggy like to claim being one - in what fucking history? True programs that can claim that no order - Texas, Alabama (no doubt), OU (hurts me to say but for sure), USC, Michigan, is tOSU here?, ND. not totally sure where to go after those - lil help?- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
I think you underestimate aggy, sir. Some great stuff above, the Elk can't tie his shoe - honestly how did he see it and realize it needed a new knot?- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
No real news but some may enjoy. I on campus met (under and grad so yes, I was at UT for a wonderful 6 years) Ricky, Hadnot, Priest. All of those young men had tree trunks for legs. Ricky even talked about it with me how he couldn't find jeans to fit him. He was just that kind of guy talking to a 140lb fellow student. Legs to big waist too small. Imagine the power or watch some on those games. I use to see Mackovic every Wednesday - had some bullshit morning elective in Bellmont. Super nice man. He asked me to come to our bowl game (Arizona area or something against NC - Priest went nuts on them). I told him, I'd love to but was broke. The next Wednesday I saw him he gave me 2 tickets and said I hope you make it son. Very nice man and like Sark offensive genius.- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
@Vertuzziman I have no clue. I couldn't get through really reading that shit. Skimming summary I got was refs robbed them, they somehow played for a championship, expect a new fake one to appear, Longhorns are the problem. Someone with more concentration than I have may have other ideas. Oh, and they really do fook sheep, goats or both?- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
I really appreciate the posts here. Got to say you give @RomaVictaa bone and it's wonderful. Many others too. I'm on record pre-season saying Reed was a terrible QB. I am also on record calling for Arch to be benched at times. Arch seemed to figure out feet don't catch balls. aggie hires a 2 year HC from Duke and expects greatness? Well, that's Gary Owens funny. Of course he has no tree or ability to get top guys. I still say Flood can be upgraded. Sark's recent hires seem top notch. For two years in a row we've kept aggy out of the SEC championship. Wisner is balls out on them. aggie is going to have a really bad next year. Our schedule is no joke either. Anyway, thanks to all of you that give us the aggie tears of failure.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - This Is Fine
You sell yourself short. You have a good mind. I've got some inside knowledge. I gave almost 500k last year no strings and no brag - I have MS so i'm dying either way. I think your thoughts matter, sir. And I like to hear them, friend.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - This Is Fine
Didn't realize the backstory sir. His YouTube was great but I defer to you and @closetojumpingon real football stuff. Is Baugh the primary still? And I think Wisner is my favorite player in the Sark regime. He was put in a terrible situation for him and gave everything to play hard. That young man really deserves our respect. Anyone that thinks he wasn't playing through injuries ... He carried our running game. Pure Longhorn heart and soul - wish the best for him always.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - This Is Fine
This could be promising. Wisner is really good but is a scatback type. Baugh would give Cooper a free year to develop. And on Wisner, that young man has shown tremendous heart and he owns aggy -/respect.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - This Is Fine
Not funny. Kirby already owns Sark. Hell, GT gave them better games than we did in 3 damn tries. We are already GA/Kirby's bitch. And I live in Atlanta with a sister and brother in law that went to GA. Rest of my family went to Alabama. It's terrible. - 2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
