There is no way Schloss lets Jonah return kicks lmfao. 

You think the baseball coach dictates to a football coach where he can and can't play on the football field?

Listened to the Sunday Sirius XM show this AM driving back to Dallas.  Not much horns talk obviously but they didn't give Arch or the horns much credit for the blowout given the opponent which is fair.  But then went on to say how Texas will be fortunate to win one of their next 2.  Talked about how Florida is really solid on D and will be tough for us to score in the Swamp.  Then talked about how much better OU and Mateer is offensively than Texas is and how OU should be favored.  I don't take exception to any of those points independently.  But they did not say a single word about the Texas defense.  It's kind of amazing how from the national perspective the only story is Arch and our offense (and we've pretty much been written off given the struggles) and everyone has somehow forgotten we have an elite defense.

YOU think that a cross-sport athlete at Texas doesn't have his coaches talking to each other? Really? Jonah probably starts next year for Schloss - no one needs him returning kicks.

Bobby and Gerry got a deal with XM?! Good for them.

I’m sure they talk. And if Schloss tried to tell Sark where he can’t play Jonah Williams, after Sark didn’t have Williams available at all in the spring due to letting him play baseball, I’m sure Sark would have a good laugh and hang up the phone.

I think I phrased the point poorly. I'm aware that Schloss isn't calling shots when it comes to Texas football. 

Sark knows that the kid is dual-sport and probably treats him as a football player accordingly. I guarantee Schloss would say something if Jonah got thrown out there for punt duties - whether or not it's his decision at the end of the day.

Schloss has in mind football when handling Williams, and the hamstring issues were definitely cause for concern for baseball staff because of the possible impact on football.

Sark pays no mind about baseball when it comes to how to deploy Williams, and baseball isn't going to say a peep about it.

He’s a member of the football team and will play wherever he is needed. There are no “baseball restrictions” on him for football.

Okay. Whatever.

At a bare minimum Jonah has agency and is an adult and has his baseball coach in his ear. It would be very easy for him to quit one sport or the other. 

The street goes both ways. He has done much more in a baseball uniform so far.

You are actively engaging in a nonsense conversation with an unserious, uninformed, bandwidth-draining clown. Reading what he wrote through your quotes reminded me of his existence and why he’s on ignore and usually forgotten. My goodness, what an idiotic premise.

Just a reminder that you started this lovely exchange by saying that Schloss wouldn’t allow Jonah Williams to be on punt returns.

He got hurt playing baseball,  maybe Sark should tell Schloss to DH him only.

I saw nothing from OU yesterday that should put us in the category of being a huge underdog.   An underdog we might be, but it shouldn’t be by much Auburn sucks and even with this being a fact, OU still needed some assistance from the SEC Refs to get them the victory.   They hype Mateer is receiving is over the top.

 

And Florida?   Really.    Give me the Arch that played with some passion yesterday and we are punking them.

That game feels like a coin flip to me right now. I need to see our offense actually do it against a team with a pulse.

I think Jonah would be ecstatic to play in any capacity at this point.

Niblett isn’t playing so much on offense that he needs a breather. And I believe they put McCutcheon back on returns when the game was in hand. 

Niblett has looked pretty good returning punts once he realized you can catch the ball before it hits the ground.

Niblett is fast, but does not seem to be especially quick. Like he doesn't have the feet of a typical 5'10" 185 lb. speed guy. But point him in the right direction and get him going and he can fly.

Well, that's because most sports "journalists" are parroting morons

He doesn’t look as fast to me as his track times indicate but it could be like you said he’s not very quick. I still don’t think he should be getting snaps at receiver, same for Butler. Seem like wasted snaps when you could have your young guys getting those #4 snaps and developing

True

He only forgot that salient point once last night.

Jonah wouldn't drop the ball is the main point of him fielding punts.
