Sure some others on here are hearing something similar, but I’m officially worried on Stewart. A&M is being very competitive there.

imagine being a smart high schooler, top 10 recruit in the nation...then looking at all the things on the table and saying "yeah, A&M is the place for me even though Jimbo offenses consistently have blue chip WR under produce and not even touch the field in their first season. Oh yeah, and it emphasizes the TE and RB in the passing game over the WR"

Know this is rich considering we just lost to Kansas, but their schedule alone has the floor at 7 wins every season with joke of OOC games and Mizzou+SCar.

it's 7 games. it's zero hope of making the SEC Championship Game.

so sure, if the goal is to win the Gater Bowl then sure #winning

Yup. Pretty frustrating all we had to do was be less ass and Stewart is probably on board. This narrative of A&M being a winning school is just laughable though. Jimbo has his guys on campus and could still lose 4-5 games even with a W against Bama. If winning is his main motivation, then there’s no reason to be considering us or aggy over Bama.

Alabama is a WR factory - damn near impossible for anyone to compete with that. Amari Cooper, Calvin Ridley, Jaylen Waddle, Jerry Jeudy, Devonta Smith, Julio Jones, etc. Even Ruggs was promising before blowing it  

Yeah but Evan wants to win. Advantage 16th ranked atm

But seriously, what a joke if he goes to atm

Yea I’ve heard the commitment rumors for Stewart but I haven’t actually heard what the weight is behind it, if that makes sense. I assumed a&m wanted to be extra safe on prom night so they double bagged it, but wanted to wait before I really became concerned. Now I’m concerned.

Well, don't keep us in suspense, was he a good teacher?

The teacher was a dude that had like 300 of us in his class. He attempted to keep attendance via eyescan. I skipped regularly and read notes from two waitresses that I worked with at Sito's who were also in the class. My dumb ass makes the mistake of wearing a yellow polo to class one day sitting with the two friends of mine. Dude spots me and calls me out for not being in his class. I explained that I was, just skipped a lot. He asks the women if either is sharing notes with me and they both said yes. He responded with "well, I hope the sex is worth it", to which the whole class erupts. I wanted to jump in a fucking hole. Most embarrassing moment of educational experiences from kindergarten-BBA. Dude would get canceled over that now, though.

And that's all I'm saying. Maybe Sark's not the right guy as HC, I sure won't say he is, but I will believe that guys like PK didn't forget to coach overnight. The proof's kinda there with him.

 

Kwiatkowski has had the DLC employ a catch & release strategy with the DL all season long and the DL was a strength coming into the year. He's fucked that up brutally and he's a hard-headed buffoon. If he returns next season, I'm lighting my tickets on fire, then shitting on them, then delivering them personally in a shoebox to Sarkisian at an alumni function this spring. You can come and film it if you'd like. Stop giving these shitheads the benefit of the doubt when there's nothing to merit it.

Can we hires this guy? Do we even have analytics. That shit works. The Astros are built on it and almost every MLB team does it now. Sure looks like it works for Baylor. Our bust rate on recruits is astronomical. We struggle to even put anyone in the NFL anymore.

Baseball has a lot of data points over long seasons. Most of the analytics that staff's are trying to deploy in CFB are folly. Tom Herman was a big analytics guy.

What is up with OU in that commitment? I cant remember them being mentioned. If I was a WR and wanted to stay in the area, OU and Texas would be the decision. Just wondering why OU isnt involved with Stewart

Because we’ve been so much more of a WR factory in recent memory than aggy?

1. We have been since Jimbo arrived 

2. Old coaches don’t matter. Look at what Sark did at Bama and what he’s doing this year. If you can’t see that idk what to tell you

Allegedly his mother suffers from epilepsy? She had surgery before the season started and apparently is going to have another procedure soon.

 

 

Honestly, this level of sleuthing and discussion about what's going on with the family isn't going to help us and isn't really anything we need to be discussing beyond "he has family reasons for staying home."

Telling a kid that you’ll get him a shit ton of targets but he’ll never even get to sniff the TurboTax Turd Bowl isn’t gonna get it done. If you can’t see that no kid worth a shit is coming here to lose to fucking Kansas idk what to tell you.

He was interested in OU early but Jordan Hudson decommit seemed to have killed off any possibility. I think he connected with Riley well but not so much with Simmons.

FIFY. Also, bringing it here and then having it fleshed out further and guessed at and so forth isn't productive. Just, as a rule, keep that shit simple. Are you new to Surly?

Imagine being a longhorn fan and expecting recruits that want to win to think Texas is in a position to do that any time in the near future......Stewart has a DECADE of A&M being the better program to go off of.......Not just this season.....

Well, they have a decade of never winning anything of consequence, just like us, while simultaneously having a HC that has literally never utilized WR talent.   If you want to make that argument for a DL or OL, sure, go ahead.  If a WR prioritizes "winning", go to Bama or LSU or OU.   That's a laughable statement regarding A&M where his talent has a 100% of never being properly utilized.

I’d like to think his unit’s performance at UW merits some optimism, but we (and the league in general) does not have a great track record when it comes to expecting an older coach with a previously successful scheme to actively self critique, acknowledge failings and weakness of their approach, and appropriately tailor his gameplan and scheme to fit the strengths of his personnel rather than continue push a square peg into a star-shaped hole.

Your comment had nothing to do with winning. It was about WR production. I was responding to that comment.

And if he really cared about winning, he’d pick Bama. Let’s stop pretending this is about anything other than bags. ATM is neither a contender nor a good place for WRs. It’s close to home (may or may not matter) and has bags. That’s it

@closetojumping don’t remember the profs name for when a bunch of my buddies took human sexuality, would’ve been around 2005.

For the class my buddy kept a jackoff log to see what kind of porn makes him go faster. The results were hilarious because he accounted for all these different variables, lotion type, Asian octopi by species etc. Was always disappointed I missed the registration for it but it was super hard to get into by that point.

Considering the make up of this Texas team (soft with little student leadership), I think Stewart might be a poor culture fit regardless of talent.  
 

On a saltier Texas team he could be great, though.  He needs a Quan Cosby in the class to remind him that today’s blue chip is tomorrow’s minor league free agent.

I was excited by the hire based on prior performance. I get it. That considered, we all know what we're witnessing now, and yeah, it's as you described and not really worth much further examination. He's an old dude stuck in his ways blaming players and not considering scheme adjustments, in-game or out. He can go get fucked back in the NW and good riddance getting there. I'll pay for his one-way bus ticket myself if Texas needs some help getting it done.

Nice job ignoring the fact of the post.  I said win. Not win conferences, not win championships, we are talking simple things here....winning games.  That matters to recruits.  They know enough to know that most college players don't win titles, but they still know Football is a hell of a lot more fun to be ranked and winnning games and actually competing for titles and heck be seen as a competent football program(A&M) vs. having the longest losing streak at your school in almost 70 years, losing to Kansas, being like the only team in football history(apparently) to lose 3 straight games we lead in the 4th quarter, blow a 21 point lead to your primary rival, get embarrassed in your only SEC game when you have been trumpeting moving to the SEC(I am pretty sure we have decided to stay in the 12 for as long as we possibly can at this point), have a coaching staff that looks about as competent as the 3 stooges, a program that is a revolving internet meme, and is on it's 3rd coach since A&M hired Jimbo.......

 

Maybe he'll go to Bama or OU or some such....but in the race between A&M and Texas winning anything.... perception wise......A&M is crossing the finish line and we are still trying to figure out how to tie our shoestrings.

I still don’t understand how ATM has enough money lined up to bag all these 5 star auctions at the same time when competing with other schools playing the game. Meanwhile we can’t muster up enough for one of them. 

Maybe they don't have as much money as our guys, but they're far more willing to spend it.

It's not the quality of donors lined up to donate to it, it's the quantity that are willing to put the funds together.

Before this season fell off a cliff Jimbo had not won meaningfully more games than Texas during his tenure.  And 2 per year are against FCS or equivalent.   I'm not trying to defend Texas football here.  It is and has been inexcusable.  I'm saying wake me up when A&M is a winning fucking program.   They absolutely had their best shot this year in a long time with a loaded D and favorable schedule and still have 3 conference losses.

The kind of class they have now is the kind that leads to winning something. It's loaded at the positions that matter. They hit on two OL just last class as well.

That is quite an exaggeration. 

Really....

 

Last 10 years A&M has won 96 games we have won 69....

Their worst record during that span was 7 and 6 and no losing seasons... we have 3 seasons that we didn't even finish .500

They have had 2 coaches in that span.....we are on 4 and counting.....

Their best record is 11-2 or 9-1...ours is 10-4

They have 3 seasons with a higher winning percentage than our best season all while playing a schedule that is perceived and rated as being much more difficult than the one we play.

 

and oh yeah

 

They haven't lost to Kansas....we have done it twice...along with losing to Baylor, TCU, Tech, ISU, Maryland, and others in embarrassing fashion.

 

Yeah I think my original description was pretty on point.....and sadly I would typically be considered a sunshine pumper on this forum...heck I was just a few short weeks ago....

I bet us moving to the SEC encouraged them to pony up this year.

It did. They get more organized every season too. They’re energized to win a championship and have a ton of people involved. They’re flexing on us now. We’ll see. Things can change quickly.

I assume Stewart is signing elsewhere, probably with aggy. But will he stick? Here in the portal era, I can see him bailing from virtually any program if things don't go his way from the start. He'll expect to see the ball early and often, regardless of the team's style of play or how many solid, experienced guys are lined up ahead of him.

Texas is tighter than tight when it comes to funding anyone outside a staff member or administration.

Unfortunately they are going to have to beat our asses on the field - multiple times, even - before anything can change on our end IMHO.
