Venables is still a much better coach than strong. Y’all seem to forget just how dog shit we were under Chuckles.

Would love to see a reality where he didn't get fucked 2 maybe 3 games by refs he did

 

Not saying his Texas pecking order would change but, he may just be better than BV

3 star. Track background. Good genes. High upside. Ah the Rhule Model. We’ll see if they can nail their evaluations, retain, and develop. 
 

Checks notes, Jerry “Puke Bucket” Schmidt is still their S&C Coach. Ok, let’s forget about player development 

“The Rhule Model”. That is a strategy. For it to work you have to:

1. Actually develop players. This means elite positional coaching, and not every program does that. 
2. Be patient. Rhule recruited two and three stars with traits, and developed them into all B12 and even draft picks. That took a few years. The best of these won’t show for a couple of years. 
3. Have a plan for line play in the SEC? In the B12 and ACC, OL and DL can be a little less massive, because they only go up against massive, elite counterparts in a few scattered games. Not so in the SEC. 
 
Interesting strategy

About as dog shit as Oklahoma has been under Venables. They're almost carbon copies.

We had a bad environment in total around Strong. He was a shitty coach in a tough situation.
Venables has all he needs to be much better than he is performing. 

Herman was an average coach buoyed by Greg Ward at UH, then here with Sam Ehlinger.

It won’t work, but they don’t have a choice. They’re not going to beat Texas, Georgia, and Ohio State for Texas 5 stars. Fasusi might be it for a long while.

In case you were wondering, this fuckhead is not related to the four-time Pro-Bowl player Derrick Johnson who wrecked shop on the 40 two decades ago. 

Correct. Different Derrick Johnson:

Multi-sport athlete. Father Derrick Johnson Sr played at Washington and was a 6th round pick by the SF 49ers in 2005.

And even if they absolutely nail the Rhule Model, they're not touching us at our current level of recruiting and developing. Maybe they can catch us in any given year for a game, but we're just separating as a program right now.

With the internet, (at least mostly) legal payment for even unofficial visits, and other changes, there seems to be an increasingly open market for talent to shop schools and for schools to shop for talent. What better way to lower yourself in the eyes of all the elite talent that is clearly considering Texas and is obviously not stupid enough to go full land-thief retard than by making this the public face of and the recruiting visit picture ask of your program?

 

EDIT: the more schools that do this the better for us, IMO. It basically says that Texas is the standard that they bother to hate. It's like saying, "I'm a good enough and smart enough to beat that jerk Saban, doggone it-- play for me!"
