What is the Jack PB position? Please tell me it means JO screaming off the edge and getting after the QB.

I know rojo wanted to stay at QB. I wonder how he feels. I know he’s team first but curious if he was a little let down or not

BJ Foster will be out for spring to have Shoulder surgery... had to wait for awhile due to the nerve involvement in the injury.

So he’s got a near 80% failure rate on hires he’s familiar with but is still afraid to go outside his circle??

ok.

Well, there's 10 assistant positions, so if you're hitting at 20% on them, that means you only need to hire 50 guys to eventually get it right. Who knows how high that number goes if you're not familiar with them? /MENSA-Math

WTF? This is the exact opposite that happened.

Relax, it's just coachspeak. If he blamed the assistants people would be up his ass about passing the buck and all that.

I don't know about y'all, but I want a head coach who is willing to deflect blame and refuses to take responsibility.

Yurcich up speaking now.  I always enjoyed listening to Beck/Orlando more than Herman.  They spoke like humans.   Yurcich seems like a human, with blood and bones.  

Man Taylor has been on that Promise Land diet.

Always a great sign when someone is hire in part due to them "blowing him away in the interview". Steve Patterson blew the UT people away in the interview. One of the reasons he keeps getting gigs is that he's apparently a complete wizard in the interview. 

Another good sign on Valai is that Chris Ash vouched for him. This is the same Chris Ash that hired, as far as I can tell in doing more than a cursory glance a few months ago, the worst P5 staff in the last 10 years across all of CFB, and I'd venture that it might be the worst one ever. It's got to be top 10 all time bad, at least modern era-wise.

Whittington and Jake Smith will be used similar to a Deebo Samual of the 49ers

I was watching a replay of a 49ers game yesterday and thinking this exact thing. The wing back is back!

Whittington was the frosh who got injured early and had only a handful of carries?

From the extremely small sample size, he looked quicker than a waterbug. If this new role gets him the ball in space, I'm all for it, although I was looking forward to seeing what he could do with more carries at tailback.

Yeah, I'd rather Whittington remain as a Flex RB.

You must have loved Mack Brown.

Smith & Whittington in a semi-WB alignment was one of the things I was hoping to see last season, with shifting and motion to sow misdirection, accompanied by pure speed...

So it still hasn't happened 6 weeks after our last game? Interesting.

Per LHN sched,  replay of press conf today at 4PM, 1030PM, and 830AM  Wed.

Not yet on YouTube,  TexasSports.

Summary:

Tom why did you hire Valai?

Yurcich how do you feel about being the play caller at The University of Texas?

Ash what do you think about X, Y or Z?

Moves like Overshown to LB and Epps to TE we could have suggested a long time ago. Tom does everything one year too late.

Current head coach of the Houston Texans fits this perfectly.  So happy to have him.

Herman on moving Joe Ossai to the “Jack” position, which will allow for more rush off the edge: “He’s aggressive, he’s twitchy, he’s fearless. I love him. I absolutely love him.”

 

# of times Ossai drops back into coverage + the # of times our offense throws to stationary receivers behind the line of scrimmage = X

 

If X < 4, we win

If X is > or = 4, we lose.

If X is > 7 at any point in 2020, Monday morning after the game, Bellmont will look like the church scene in The Kingsman.

Cue the three months of Surly grinding on this quote.

ctj with a negative spin on the situation!  What a shock.


“That’s a heck of a responsibility, but that’s something that gets me off, you know what I mean?"
 

 

don’t you wanna get off with me...?

I, for one, am suggesting Epps to the bench.  Him trying (or likely not) to block on the edge will be quite comical.
