December 29, 2025Dec 29 With Reed at QB it doesn’t matter who A&M brings in at WR. I wonder if they’ll have the cojones to upgrade over Reed
December 29, 2025Dec 29 Tom Loy posted this yesterday, on the Auburn board.While it's possible that things didn't change and the staff was aware of his plans - and still felt good - that doesn't seem to be the case, based on the reaction from the other $9.95ers.

(It's not open), why isn't Flood fired yet??? (we might need a couple people coaching the bowl game this week), blah blah blahTexas has gone 12-2 (Big 12 champ and CFP semifinals), 13-3 (SEC runner up and CFP semifinals) and 9-3 (so far) in 3 seasons. After the shit sandwiches we were fed for a dozen years, our fan base expected us to immediately jump into Georgia/Ohio State/Bama under Saban territory.2025 wasn't what we were fed by our $9.95ers, but 9-3 with wins over OU and aggy ended up pretty satisfying, and we can still hit double digit wins. And we have shit blasted OU 3 of the last 4 years and embarrassed aggy 2 years in a row.You'd think we finished the year playing in the Pinstripe Bowl, fighting with other top 5 preseason teams to finish 7-6.Keeping Kyle Flood so that he can coach in a meaningless exhibition game doesn't make a lick of sense. Are people really claiming that's the reason? The reason we haven't fired Flood yet is because he's not going to be fired.1 hour ago, Hookem2147 said:Gerry made an interesting comment on OTF this morning that his Florida sources don't think they will be able to keep both Baugh and Dallas Wilson.

December 29, 2025Dec 29 Gerry:Portal UpdateThe NCAA transfer portal officially opens January 2 and players have until January 16 to enter their name. The Texas Longhorns will be extremely active, and have a lot of work to do with needs at RB, OL, LB, secondary, WR, DL and specialists.Jadan Baugh ...Everyone wants to know what Florida running back Jadan Baugh is going to do. Here is the current answer, nobody knows as of last night despite confidence on the colleges that will be in pursuit front. He has not told Florida he has made a decision. Florida is working to bring back a solid offensive group around him. Key question here is can Florida keep both Baugh and Dallas Wilson? Florida is likely to only be able to keep one, according to a source close to the program. We shall see if that is ultimately the case. OTF hears Texas A&M is expected to be a major player for Wilson, if he hits the portal. OTF believes Texas will be looking for two RB's with Tre Wisner hitting the portal.Offensive line ...Texas will be looking for up to three. Left guard is No. 1, and right guard is No. 2. But the key here is not just get an experienced player. It has to be a scheme fit. Square peg, round hole will just result in changing players without guaranteed success. The scheme fit is very key. Two linebackers ...Texas definitely wants two linebackers. Experienced LB's that will be a fit for Will Muschamp. They could come from SEC portal entrants, or anywhere. Obviously, Muschamp is very familiar with all the LB's in the SEC that could hop into the portal.Over the ball DL ...This one is simple. Texas has a need for one front line over the ball player. There are 2-3 strong candidates, assuming they enter the portal. Arkansas transfer Ian Geffrard is one of those that Texas will have sincere interest in. Texas really likes their young DL's in Justus Terry, Myron Charles and Josiah Sharma. Defensive back ...Texas has a need at corner, likely safety and potential a big nickel. What Muschamp does with Graceson Littleton will be the key here. Muschamp likely prefers more size at nickel, so Littleton could make the move to CB. We do continue to believe Texas will have sincere interest in Rutgers cornerback Bo Mascoe. Mascoe was recruited to Rutgers by Mark Orphey out of Kissimmee (Fla.) Osceola High. Wide receiver ...Texas will be in the market for a make you miss receiver that can turn in big plays after the catch. That is pretty obvious. I don’t get only taking up to 3 interior linemen, that makes no sense considering how bad the interior is from a starter and depth perspective.Also what scheme exactly are they recruiting to? Sark likes to do so much with the OL in regards to scheme that it’s impossible to recruit to that Edited December 29, 2025Dec 29 by BurntOrange&White

Look at PK/Muschamp timing for example.

Paying for premium backups likely leads to diminishing returns and is likely suboptimal for your starting 22, assuming some relative level of finite fundsMaybe there are special cases where quality depth is fine coming here to sit and learn to be a future coach or something, but I wouldn't count on it or view it as a need or a failure if it doesn't materialize

The vast vast vast majority of guys that are on D1 scholarship will only ever make money in the game teaching and coaching it. For Texas? Sure. For most other schools though it is about the school. Decoupling makes sense if we go to 30 teams in their own league, but if you decouple it from the university who exactly will pay the freight or care? The minute they facade falls the system collapses from a revenue perspective.
