Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
Any chance we take 7 OL this year like we did in 22, or will we end up processing some later in the cycle? Or will we convert some listed tackles into IOLs? It looks like weāre in position to take a stupid number of OL if we want them. I guess a lot depends on what happens with the out of state guys weāre recruiting.

I want it to be referencing OU. I assumed the person who made the original assumption did so based on something other than blind hope. But if hope is all we got, Iāll go with it.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
I could see it being a thing in the 90s when we were putting a mediocre product on the field and the THS coaches had players that were better than the ones we were trotting out there. Of course, all the real Texas talent was going to Florida schools or atm at that time.

Just having a QB run threat in an RPO/zone read situation on the goal line allows us to spread the defense out a little and keep them honest. I donāt really want to have many designed run plays for Arch, either, for the reasons you seem to suggest. But being able to run QB draw on rare occasions will be a nice option to have.

I donāt see how healthy self-awareness is an issue. Tom Herman lacked it. Charlie lacked it. Mack lacked it. Sark seems to have it. Iām not handwringing. Iād list like to improve on areas of weakness. Seems like a reasonable position. I think the issues can be addressed without replacing coaches, but again, I'm not an expert. Seems like Flood has enough positive attributes that suggesting we replace him without having a sure fire improvement is foolish. I donāt know of a sure fire better OL coach. I know some who seem to get better results in some areas, but not necessarily overall. So maybe weāre actually on the same page. Iām really not sure. This has been one of the stranger interactions Iāve had with anyone on this board.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out
And my point has never been that there was a perfect OL out there. In fact. I was pretty clear that I was just wondering how to fix the problems we have and that I lack the knowledge or expertise to theorize an answer. I just know what we donāt do well, and I know there are teams who donāt seem to struggle at those things. So now that I know what youāre getting at, Iāll ask you to skip both the Socratic and the cocksucking.

How did they look after that? Or before that? Iām not sure I understand where youāre going with your questioning. Itās pretty well established that Ohio State changed their scheme after Michigan and it worked well. Also, Ohio state didnāt run particularly well against us other than in short yardage when they had to have a touchdown or a first down. You saw that, right? it was frustrating to watch them get necessary short yardage when everyone knew what was coming. Iām not saying we dump flood and moneywhip anyone. Just observing that there are teams who can do what we currently cannot and wondering why that is. So instead of going all Socratic on me, just get to your point. Maybe it was just play calling and it has nothing to do with position coaching. I really donāt know and donāt pretend to know, but we seemed to have multiple occasions this year when we couldnāt get the ground game rolling and it hurt us.

It may be a scheme issue, too. Being a predominantly zone running team may be problematic on the goal line when we are trying to switch to a man scheme? I never played in the trenches, so Iām completely guessing. I have two toddlers, so I donāt get to binge college football like I used to, but Notre dame has looked good on the ground in the games Iāve watched. Ohio State was able to get short yardage on us when they had to have it. Thats all iāve got, and I canāt remember how Notre dame looked in pass pro. They canāt pass for shit, statistically.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out
Guys whoāve played OL whom I trust have expressed concerns over the product on the field, especially in the running game. Obviously what we are currently trotting out there far exceeds what we put on the field going back to the early 2000s, but looking at other schoolsā ability to displace opposing DL, we still leave a bit to be desired. Iām not qualified to pinpoint the exact issue. Maybe itās personnel, and maybe itās coaching. Hard to believe itās personnel, given the number of guys on the roster. That said, Flood is a hell of a recruiter, and his players love him, so Iām not trying to run him off. I do think it might be helpful to bring on more analysts and coaches who can identify the issues and address them, though.

On one hand, I donāt want him at OU because heās an elite DC whoās given Sark trouble in the past. On the other hand, he will either keep BV in Norman a little longer or get sent packing when BV gets canned. Not sure which scenario I prefer. Probably option A.
