I honestly thought it was more likely he would jump back to the NFL. Players seem to like him.

  • So he's been on staffs with Choate, Saban, and Schiano and has Houston/Texas ties. Not going to act like this is some no-doubter but seems like it can work just fine to me.

    My sweet Lord. Reading the thread since the Muschamp hiring is borderline exhausting. Some of the hawtest takes on this recruiting board, ever, on here between pages 45 and 48. I was quoting posts at

  • This is a Nansen hire. He was behind the surge last year to bring him on as an analyst. The plan to hire him has been in place for a while, and if Blake would have stayed and Terry still left they wou

I imagine Jackson staying goes 1 of 2 ways:

Flood gone, so fans don’t care as much about him staying

Flood stays, so fans care a lot about it and continue to scream for an OC

Chris Jackson re-signed to a 2-year deal, per OB. Said Florida and Ohio State both inquired about him this cycle.

Harris has been fine except for last off-season when Sark went MIA. Jackson's room looked awful, that's a weird one.

Awful is probably a little strong.

Say what we want about Wingo but he had 800+ yards in basically 10.5 games. He got better from last year. We would have had 3 other receivers go for 500+ if Mosley was healthy all year. And this is with a QB who was wildly inconsistent the first 6-7 games.

AD, Worthy, Whittington and Mitchell easily had their best years under him too in 2023/2024.

I think the room looks a lot better if the Arch the last 8 games played the first 5 games. And Mosley being healthy.

I also think a big part of coaching receivers at this level is managing egos. It’s a diva position. Coming from the NFL he brought more of a pro mindset and I think that has been beneficial.

I don’t get how we (Texas) can land all these 4- and 5-star WRs who struggle with contested catches — or even consistency — unless they transferred in. Meanwhile, schools like Indiana are rolling out 3-star (or lower) receivers who look better than anything we have. At that point, it’s either bad evaluation or bad coaching.

Or maybe it’s the Big 10 defenses.

I’m pretty sure Wingo has a similar stat line to Indiana’s #1 WR. Also catching contested balls isn’t just on the WR. We had a QB trying to figure shit out for about half the season. Both Arch and Wingo were better in the second half of the season. Wingo just needs to clean up those drops.

I know they’re all money years now, but it’s funny how players get focused the season they expect to jump to the nfl. And that’s wingo next year.

Is it possible to teach “catching”?

It actually is. Juggs reps, one-handed reps, and jump ball reps can and do drive more proficiency for catching the ball. I found myself wondering this year if Texas was doing any of that and how often, but surely they are. The offseason will hopefully include a crazy amount of that work as well as cut and quickness drills.

Having the dropsies can also be psychological for a player, sort of like a RB with a fumbling problem. That shit can change for a WR from one season to another if that is the problem.

Combination of bad evaluations and coaching

Probably the case but is he making plays for the Arch at QB?? When I watch Indiana Suratt or Cooper they’re making plays . Mosley was the only one I seen making plays. In order for Wingo or Moore to do that you had to put them in great positions same with Parker .

Sure doesn't seem like they're doing enough of this. Not only the drops but 50/50 balls are more like 10/90 with Texas WRs this year. It's been driving me crazy watching the WRs from Indiana and other CFP teams routinely make those difficult catches.

Mosely is the only one with ball skills this year (maybe Lockett, TBD). Last year Golden had them and Bond was ok.

edit: probably worth adding that a lot of this is stuff the players can practice on their own. Get a GA or walkon and have them feed you balls. I wonder how much time these guys are spending on it outside of mandatory practice.

Have there been any rumblings about Nansen yet? I will be surprised if he survives the Muschamp transition and it shouldn't be that difficult to find him a DC gig somewhere as a soft landing.
