    A few things: -If Harrell is the OC, and the rumors are legit but don’t take anything for granted until ink is dry, then Traylor could make a return. Herman would be admitting to a mistake in let

GH  will have plays ready and probably won’t bitch up either when we inevitably go for it on fourth down about three times per game 

You would think, with the genius that is Mike Leach, and the combined geniuses of Kingsbury, Harrell, and Cumbie at QB, Tech might have considered letting son of hooker killer sit in that closet a while and think.

Fuck fourth down. We're scoring on 2nd down, every time.

Coordinators usually get to pick a guy they want to bring along, and then they collaborate with the HC in regard to the rest of the staff and support staff. 

Also, what a fucking hideous piece of shit this thread has been for a few pages. RomaVicta looms about this thread like a gargoyle statue, emotionless, convictionless, but omnipresent and probably smarter than you. Greg Davis is no big deal except for the fact that he brings nothing but failure and dated input to the table and Coach Fuckface values his advice as though he's an uncle. SydneyCarton is a moth to that flame every time. Then there's no new info and a fluff speculation story from Nahlin. And a whole bunch of posts from guys that I have on ignore. Christ, somebody please do some fucking thing. Hermancipate us from this ineptitude and ennui before we collectively transmogrify into the fucking UT offense.

ctj right now (all the time?):

That's one down faster than all the scoring other teams did against us this year!

Super K on TFB is saying Harrell is very likely going to accept the Texas offer which is around 2 million per year. He’s waiting for a USC counter but including taxes they would have to nearly eclipse Heltons salary to match

This would be a major development on the ‘Herman has to change drastically for this to work’ front if Harrell is the guy.

While I'm inclined to agree, I'll hold off until after Spring practice before I start freebasing kool-aid again. Make no mistake, though, I'll be ridiculously overconfident about the direction of this program by August of next year, even if we hire Greg Davis for OC and a hamster for DC, because I'm a Texas fan and I have nothing remotely resembling mental health.

Because you get an extra man. Pretty neat deal.

Edit: L&P was faster. Not always a good thing.

Other schools are using it against us.  If you go to Texas you're never going to get to the NFL because all they ask their dline to do is hold up blocks for the LB's

Or we could play a 3 man line like Baylor and get the best of both worlds...

We’re likely going to lose our top DL target to Baylor, you know, a team that uses a 3 man front. 
 

Herman shouldn’t give a fuck about 3 vs 4 man fronts. Just hire the best defensive coach possible. Either works if you have a good DC.

That’s an alignment and scheme issue, not something that naturally follows from running 3 man. 

All of this GD talk reminds me of a pet theory.  I think he is to blame for mensa tom's slavish devotion to 11 personnel (although that vapid terminology wasn't en vogue back then). GD used to brag about being able to run from under center with a single back and TE.  Then, without substituting, he would go to shotgun 5-wide with the RB and TE split out.  In reality the RB would split out to the sideline, run 2 yards, and turn around to act as a safety valve.  Meanwhile the TE would line up in the slot and lumber around and fail to get open.  Tom seems married to a 20 year old approach that was shitty at the time.

Just proves if you wait long enough, bell bottom pants will be fashionable all over again ( if they were in the first place)!

I remember once upon a time reading reports of Vic Fangio as DC and Chryst as OC and getting excited. All these candidates are a major boner killer and are using UT as a stepping stone to some Arkie St HC job. Furk

Who's that?

Nalin with the "echo chamber" comment is kind of rich. I forgot for a second that coaching searches always bring out the competitive dipshittery in the 9.95ers as they all try to scoop each other.

Gary Kubiak would be an interesting candidate. Good at quickly improving offenses and has Texas ties. Bonus... Would piss off a lot of Ags if he came to Texas and helped turn the program around.

If the elite kids are convinced 4-man gets them to the league, and either works with the right DC, we need to run the 4. 

If Harrell comes here, Herman starts to resent it and meddles like Mack Brown on Adderall, then there is no salvaging crap.  Herman will be gone but Harrell will not be too tarnished to find another high paying job.  Herman better chill the fuck out and get the hell out of the way.  The Leach coaching tree farts in Hermensa's general direction.  Cumbie is the only one to truly shit the bed.  My God, fucking Kingsbury wound up as a head coach in the NFL.

They’re not.  LSU, Bama, UGA all run 3 man fronts. Win and play good defense and you’ll get the best DL.

I'm imagining someone selling a 270-lb kid like Sweat on the idea that he should try to become a speed rusher.

If Texas pays Graham fucking Harrell $2 mil per to be OC, college football has officially gone mental.  Don't get me wrong, I hope you do to crater SC further, but seriously.  It's not like he's Sean Payton or even Sean McVay.

I will roll the dice and take a 34 year old Harrell for 2 million over every washed up Greg Davis clone in college football.  Sean Payton was also pretty salty at 34 from the best I can remember.   McVay is too.
