Apparently, * Big humans* means fat slops. 

Herman fatigued us to the 260 lb lineman that you put weight on... worked one time with Cosmi.

You do need bigs when Arkansas or auburn have 340lb DT on the other side. 

Problem with our "big humans" is that we have not gotten the right ones. 

Would Taylor's Dad be optimal for our likings?

The frustration about this is we don’t get the right ones but teams like Indiana or Utah who don’t have half of what Texas does gets it right under more time than not.

I don’t see this.  He did well as OC at UNLV.  He took over a sub-.500 team from the past two seasons.  He got them to the cusp of the playoffs in a conference with Montana, Montana State, and UC Davis (predicted 6th, finished 4th).  He is very intriguing with good (if not great) results.  Now, the head scratcher is why he gambles moving from HC to OC.  The main answer we have seen first hand with Jeff Choate leaving a great FCS gig at Montana State to be LB coach at UT while more than doubling his pay.

Sac State raised a ton of money to move up to FBS. They had a significantly larger payroll than any other FCS team. It would be like McGuire going 8-4 or 9-3 with this year’s Tech roster. Their record didn’t improve because of his coaching, and failing to even make the playoffs with that kind of payroll advantage points to his poor performance as a coach.

And I disagree, as do the coaches in that conference.

IT

I cannot say with 100% conviction Akina is out but I can say it with 99%.

A major consideration right now is offensive line coach Kyle Flood. IT has heard Flood’s name connected with a couple potential landing spots. Given these jobs wouldn’t be as good as his current job, we think he’s looking for a safe haven.

One position we’re watching is wide receivers. Chris Jackson’s contract is up. We’d put it at 50/50 whether he returns. We’re curious to see what happens. He’s very well liked in his room. If he leaves, I don’t believe it will be based on job performance.

I don't know what to think about Jackson. Wingo doesn't look polished but that's one guy, plus he is still young and had injuries this offseason (so did Moore and Mosely). WR recruiting has been solid. Last year's WRs were good but mostly transfers. Golden improved a lot over the season.

I will say: Watching Indiana and OSU's WRs make every contested catch last night made me extremely jealous. Haven't seen that much here this year.

Easy to be solid recruiting wise in a transactional era

When you have teams like Indiana who have borderline 3 maybe low 4 star WR’s making plays that Texas WR aren’t, you have to look at coaching and evaluating of talent.

out best WR the last few years other than Worthy came from other schools, (Golden, Mitchell, Bond and even Mosley) we have a problem developing these guys. 
 

That’s a fucking problem

At least Wingo is developing. Ryan Williams seems to be regressing.

OTF

On the coaching front, there will be turnover.

Where and when, that I don't know. An additional positional coach to monitor is that of Chris Jackson.

A couple of sources have indicated it is no slam dunk WR coach Chris Jackson returns in 2026. Jackson's contract is up at the end of the season. Right now, that is one worth monitoring.

Someone pointed out that Flood has signed guards who are too tall.  They should be 6'3" or 6'4" and not the fat tackles that we have because they have leverage problems going against interior DL.

There are plenty of good Guards in the NFL that are 6-5 and 6-6 that run power schemes.

Yeah, but those guys are athletic and strong.  If you are stiff and weak, it's better to have a lower center of gravity.  Stroh would be slightly harder to steam roll if he was shorter.

OTF just said he's the hire for them.  Does he take Chad Scott with him?

Honestly, do we care? He hasn't shown a propensity to coach them. Wisner went from a 1k back to 600 yards. For a dude that got bigger, faster, stronger, and has some quick cutting ability, yet he's regressed. Scott also doesn't seem to understand how rotations work. I don't care if he goes.

Maybe we should go after some big, athletic OL.

Wingo will make a great #2 option next year. 

Who’s to say Wingo doesn’t have a similar Sophomore to Junior year progression that Xavier Worthy had?

Would love for Jeff Banks to leave. Fuck that dude. Can't stand our return team taking it out of the end zone for a holding penalty (instead of a free 25 yard line) and our punt return team going for idiotic block attempts instead of letting the best returner in CFB return the kick.

The guy is an an idiot.

so Banks had nothing to do with that part?

I think we will show improvement letting Moore walk and fitting in one of the younger guys into the rotation. 

are we sure Jackson is developing?? Cause Doesn’t make a difference if nobody is getting developed.

Flood is our biggest problem.  4 years to get a "next" OL together and this shit? His recruiting is terrible. Pure bread - nothing this class. 

Turntine and Robertson. Also, we got Wright to decommit, which isn't nothing.
