Nah, I've heard his preference is 1 front, 1 rear, and a rover.

All this talk of three man fronts has me really excited to see what a real defensive staff can finally get out of Naashon Hughes.

The Eagles are a dumpster fire right now. But by all means, take that job (rumors are they reached out to Lincoln but he probably was like no. No no no no)

still no word on anything? Is anyone taking bets on the DC? I always get $10 on my bday from my uncle! Let’s go! Place ur bets! Lol.

Sign me up.  As much time as I waste on Longhorn football it would be good if I got paid for it.

Haven’t been able to follow this thread as much as I would like this morning. Really appreciate all the intel being posted as well as information from other sites.
 

Just working but today is my birthday. Lulz. Born on the 13th, ha! 
 

 I was really impressed with Sarks PC yesterday even though it was an intro. I am excited about this season of football. Glad to see all the deliberation going into the hiring of the DC. Thanks for all the information! H

Happy birthday!  Mine, too-but I think I have bunch of Panhandle years on you-

Those intro press conferences are interesting, hope we don’t have to parse another one for many years, Sark impressed me, too.  Hell, I was all in on Strong and Herman both, so I obviously know nothing.

All this defensive alignment talk is making my head hurt...............

I distinctly recall thinking that Strong had an utter lack of ability to string two sentences together, but figured it would be "fine" because his Louisville teams showed he had a real nose for talent.  I recall being very impressed by Herman's (especially in comparison to Strong's) and thinking that he said all the right things.

Yeah I don't remember thinking Herman's PC was bad. After coach potato it was a breath of fresh air that he knew how to actually deliver a speech. 

Of course, him repeating the exact same phrases to diminishing effect for four years really took the shine off that.

Meh, Herman harped on how they would be mentally and physically tougher and how that would lead to success.  Basically echo'd his playcalling philosophy/overall strategy of the next few years, he knew better than everyone else etc.  

Sark actually used the word humble and made mention that they'll always be looking for the next detail to get an edge.  Struck me as being smart, whereas Herman seemed like a meathead who thought he was smart.  I'm still waiting on the rest of coaches to be announced before I let myself get hopeful we're on the way out of the desert though.

Yeah, how a coach speaks I have now learned it means nothing. The best ones are quite often assholes.

This is all fine and good in hindsight.  But no one was thinking/posting this at the time.

Herman always gave off an arrogant and asshole-ish vibe, but we didn't care about it as long has he won big.

He didn't, so fuck him.

Happy birthday!

Now, let’s see you open some of the PMs Surlyites have sent you. That would be entertaining, and a thread all its own! Perverts.

Saw somewhere that Ryan Day is also a candidate for the Eagles. Food for thought.

What is your position on the 3 man front and pick for DC?

Right, "just win baby".

Nearly everything else that's unsettling can be rationalized...

Herman was an improvement.  The program is in better shape than when he got here.

Biggest problem was that he seemed to be running the program based mostly on his experience at Ohio State with Urban Meyer so that when changes needed to be made he didn't have any answers.

Sark talked about doing it his way in his press conference.  No way to know if he can deliver on that yet.

I think he is a good bet but no sure thing.

I am for the front that is the most popular with surly posters (ha! Ducks and hides). I think Sark will pick the best available candidate for the job. Lots of rumors out there. Hearing a little about Arnett. Nothing would surprise me at this point. I could see keeping Ash, or hiring Muschamp or even a name no one has mentioned. 
 

FWIW, I really do like what Arizona is doing. Like their new HC and the staff he is assembling.

Put me in the Ryan Day will never win the big one category.  I won't go as far as to say he's a fraud but imo he is only marginally better than Herman.  He was left with a solid infrastructure and talent.  That school is recruiting itself right now.  He has that going for him.

I prefer when we run the DVDA defense (2 in the A gap/2 in the B Gap) , but on obvious passing downs we could run the DP or even the Eiffel Tower defense. 

Nah, I've heard his preference is 1 front, 1 rear, and a rover.

Some like to watch, some like to be watched!

So Sark was hanging out with the THSCA guys today, which is awesome, but he said priority one for him was to fill out his staff. Feels like he’s got something worked out with a DC if he’s got time to hang out with the coaches so soon. Otherwise I’d expect to have heard about interviews today. 
 

And if he’s got something worked out, it seems like it must be with someone who’s got contractual reasons for postponing an announcement. If that’s the case, it has to either be either Will or an NFL coach, right? If he were retaining Ash, wouldn’t that have come out today? Or has that meeting not happened yet?

I don’t think 3 means what you think it means

i know exactly what it means

Semi-serious question: Is there anyone on the Texas football beat that surly doesn't have a hate boner for? I get the hate for FCB because, well, fuck him, but in the past few days I've read that Taylor Estes is a useless bitch, Mike Roach is a fucking hack who doesn't know the first thing about recruiting, Cedric Golden, Brian Davis, and Kirk Bohls are incompetent assclowns who just makes shit up, etc. I'm frankly not informed enough to have an opinion one way or the other, but I'm curious if there's anyone that isn't universally loathed.

Would really like to see a separate thread on the 3 man front with Fud and Burt providing the commentary.
 

Some, like me, have been sloppy in our comments and caused confusion, while others have been just wrong in their understanding of the differences of the different schemes. Surly needs to get past this 3 man front bs that pops up twice a month. 

I have a better idea. Instead of having Burt or Fud moderate, why don't we start a 3 man front thread and then every mouth-breathing dipshit who shows up arguing stupid, ignorant shit and demonstrating a toddler's understanding of football, we just move the whole thread and lock them in the Purgatory forum with TTomTerrific and any other misfit toy that breathes exclusively through their mouths and eats paste. Because you can't fix stupid, but you might able to trap it in a cage and then set it on fire.
