The Chris Ash hire still frustrates me because of the nature of the relationship between fuckface and Ash, but he’s at least got some performance history on his resume. Hopefully he only looks like a gorilla-armed blockhead and isn’t really as rock stupid as his predecessor proved himself to be. I’m excited by the premise of seeing a competent defense.
The Yurcich hire looks great. Does it turn out to be? Who fucking knows? But I’ll take it for what it looks like at the moment. It’s also not a comfort hire. If this guy is allowed to call his own game, I’m interested to see where it takes us.
Big moves still remain, and I hope, outside of Drayton and Hand, that no one is retained, but I’m sure Giles will stick and so be it. They need some fucking killers to come in on the recruiting front at a couple of these spots where coaching is less critical, especially at WR and TE. I assume we’ll see a better split with the hires for o/d than the idiocy this season.
So, long way to go in a short time, but if Herman is having to extend his network to get better guys in, I’m all for it. Outside of his rigid narcissism, the biggest issue he’s been fucked by since getting to Texas was bringing in a staff of jokers and clowns. I glanced over at the 2017 and 2018 recruiting threads on Shaggy at some point recently and it is comical watching a herd of posters defend the hires and argue in favor of guys like Merhringer and Warehime and not having a fucking LB coach or recruiter. No, this overhaul may well give this shitbag his shot to turn it around. I’m all for it. Tired of being embarrassed and losing. If that means watching Herman pull it off, sign me up as I fucking decry his continued imbecility.
