Texas Recruiting Notes 2022 - Idiotic Slapfights Unrelated To 2022 Recruiting

So are we to interpret Gerry’s post about needing to get a new DC at the end of the season a warning that if we don’t we’ll have multiple defensive defections from the class and miss out on a few uncommitted prospects considering us? I’m assuming he’s not the “this guy sucks and Texas needs to fire him” type of bomb-thrower.

    Thanks. I have been on the boards since 1997 when I was a student at Texas. We've spent decades as fans and board patrons feeling powerless to create any real change. The Internet, social media,

    I work closely with a certain previously committed 5 star QB's father (hint: its Quinn Ewers, for those who haven't been following recruiting closely like I have) and chatted with him a bit this after

Ok. Good luck winning every thirty years sucker. Just keep telling yourself you're smart for dumping your money and time into a lost cause. Because that's what "smart people" like you do. Cheers

When a team goes on the field after a change of possession,  not a sudden change of possession,  and gets a delay of game penalty,  that's bad.  

Either the team is not smart enough to get out of a bad call,  or the coaching staff doesn't know how to adjust.  

Is Aranda that good of a coach to completely baffle the players and coaches just by a formation?

when you are in that situation, taking a delay penalty isn't on the coach it's on the QB.

When it happens more than once, it’s on the coaches.

disagree for me. if you are the QB it's on you to keep an eye on the clock, etc. half the time Casey looks shocked the clock was on 0's

If your players continually make non physical related mistakes, it’s on you to correct it or replace them.

Yeah I can’t defend the coaches on that delay of game. That was bad.

I will say that the number of penalties has gotten a lot better this year vs Herman (not saying much but still)

Are our holding calls down because of better technique? Or because our OL is too weak to turn defenders far enough to draw a ref's attention?

Coaches work on this stuff constantly every practice. They can only do so much. Replace them with who. This is why you need to give the coaches a little time.to get their kids in. If things don't improve then, you need to consider changes but you have to give them a little time.

Odom supposedly didn't come onboard because he wanted Sam Carter (Arkansas CB coach) on staff and Sark had already hired Joseph and Gideon...if you make a change I think you show the door to one of those two and re-engage Odom

Better hope Traylor don't get a job that can afford Odom because that will be his DC IMO.

All the time. FFS how long have you been a Texas fan. Greg Davis got out coached in a ton of games that Texas win by 30+🤷🏻‍♂️
 

The genius isn’t having that idea - the genius is in the game plan and execution. 
 

Is it any surprise that the two teams that have held Bijan below 100 and nullified his impact were the two teams with the best DCs we’ve faced? Odom and Aranda both outschemed Sarkisian. It’s not even a debate. It’s fact. 
 

Becoming one-dimensional isn’t the appropriate response. It’s the path of least resistance. The appropriate response is to add new elements in formation, personnel, and blocking schemes during the week to ensure that when they load the box you can still have a run game, even if it’s lesser, and not be one-dimensional. 

Well Casey could have easily rushed for 100 yards because the Baylor D wasn’t accounting for that aspect on most plays.  The few times he ran he got big chucks of yardage so that certainly would have helped both the run and passing game.

I really doubt Odom goes anywhere that isn't a HC job.

Well he just got an extension that will pay him close to $3M per year.

Whittington being out has really hurt. But never mind a deeper corps of receivers...even with those now active, we'd have at least  6 wins with a slightly cleaner pocket in the 2nd half of these games. Defenses just put the heat on 11 and get big stops. We'd still have some drops, but he'd be able to get the ball to more of these guys left wide open. The inept OL play is killing us time and again.  

I love how the OL has to consistently protect for 5+ seconds and the WRs have to consistently make spectacular catches or the offense bogs down, but the one guy that touches the ball on every play isn't a factor at all.

Plenty of fault with Thompson, too. For one thing, if he'd run more, I do think we'd be better off. He wasn't exactly Tom Brady yesterday, but there also were a lot of critical drops.

Weren't there a bunch of folks shitting on Traylor during the coaching search? I actually thought he would have been a good hire, but may have needed a little more seasoning first.

So does Guilbeau come back, with Paterson leaving? 

i can't believe those guys actually fired him, in season no less.

wonder who they think they are going to hire, and how quickly they are going to find out they are a worse job than TTU (and SMU if Dykes leaves)

watch them end up with Justin Fuente lol

#38190
If out recruited means out bag dropping, then yes. 

These sheep humping farmers aren’t messing around…. Unlike us

How much does it cost to have a bag game that can be competitive. That seems like the only way we will be able to attract top recruits with our showing on the field. Does anyone really know what the going rate is for a five star tackle?

I'd take both Quentin and Gilbeau at this point. Also someone please take Dykes so Samples needs a job and we can get rid of Coleman also putting us in a favorable position for Hudson. While we are at it Helton needs to to fired so Carrington can come on back.

I think they had no choice.....seeing SMU overtake them in recruiting their gronds.

…Patterson comes on as an analyst for the remainder of the season then transitions to DC for 2 years…

Helton was fired in September
