  • That's impressive. It didn't look like our players knew what Texas was doing pre-snap

    Y’all are fucking idiots. Without the two muffed points, the D might not have even given up 20 points and we held an explosive OSU offense to 5.5 YPP while forcing 2 turnovers and being given some bad

That's not Sky it's Read.  You just threw into the trap.  But lucky for you Brandon Jones is there, so 10 yard gain.

Yeah exactly. I made sure to mention our execution. Which I'm in favor of, by the way.

What do you think is wrong here?

IMO on a 2nd and 6, likely run down we are conceding too much ground at the line of scrimmage. Foster should be closer to the line of scrimmage, or wider gaps on the 3 down lineman for have some change of setting an edge and forcing the action into the horde of linebackers. As it happens it did get pushed back inside only by one of the 3 getting blocked to far into the play.

Please tell me it didn’t take you this long to come to that decision. That’s been evident since LA Tech.

I was in denial and believed the coaching staff was competent enough to adjust.

Overrated they are.

We lost a defensive commit today and some sites are saying to be prepared to lose 3 more because of this shit show.

Wait- are you implying that recruits with potential  NFL aspirations are discouraged by shitty $1.7million DC coaching? 

But , but, but....we’re TEXAS! And UT is in Austin and such.....!

In any other field, being paid at his level, would Coach New Potato survive a mid-cycle performance review, unless shielded by his bro, the boss?

The apolitical story goes, if tasked with placing a walking path on a college campus for students to walk to class, Von Mises would rely on his ownintelligence to place the path on the optimal route

I suppose that story is technically apolitical.  Coincidentally, it's also apocryphal.

So it seems that CDC understands what his fundraising bellcow is and won't let someone fuck that up.  I'm hopeful that's the case.

I'd rather have Zach Smith coaching here at this point over Todd Orlando.  Zach would only cost us about $45,000 instead of almost $2.0mm and he's got a lot more fight in him than Orlando does.  Todd should be at a fucking JuCo by this time next year.  

Oh wait, I forgot...let's give him another chance because Herman said, "Culture."  Fucking child.

Tom should be bringing in and hiring analyst for the D & ST right now, fuck optics and perception. Go fix the problem, everyone knows what those problems are.

#1617

Sports are an interesting follow. Two years ago people on this board were ready to shitcan Herman and replace him with Orlando. Then, they lived in fear at the end of the season that Todd would be swept away to another coaching gig.

That's the funniest thing to me. To go from being afraid that this guy was gonna get scooped up to wanting to fire him in the middle of the season. What a fun profession.

I was just talking about Orlando.

 

I can definitely see the absurdity of mocking a person for being a "moderately intelligent dickface who coaches a children's game" for a living while being a person who spends their free time posting about said children's game on this message board.

It was just a joke. You know many coaches/players the volume posters of this site and it’s predecessor have crowned and subsequently burned at the stake? Most posters here are extremely quick to do both, but only understand the scoreboard.

Yeah I was about to say practically every defensive coordinator we went from being terrified he would be hired away to wanting him to be fired in a few years.

Interesting how Todd Orlando went from looking like a top 5 coordinator in the game who wizarded a miraculous 1-year turnaround, to fielding a defense that ranks among the worst in FBS?

Career-wise, two years is a lifetime for a Big 12 DC. Or maybe it’s just us, I dunno.

It’s every fan base. I’m sure we can find some good posts from LSU boards when they lost to Troy at home a couple years ago. Hell, before this season started, a majority of college football fans would have considered him a dead man walking.

I do wonder if we continue to have this issue once we keep the same coach for 4-5 seasons. I'm not defending Orlando's performance because last year wasn't great either. I'm just wondering if we're seeing a lot of volatility because of how coaching changes affect the roster.

Remember when we feared of possibly losing him to another school....

So you’re saying that after 4 or 5 seasons they should learn how to tackle

Texas fans really need to chill with these ridiculous expectations.

Can we work out a deal with the Canes to ship off Orlando to Miami to be paired with another failed Texas DC? Iaz and Orlando can scheme up the most complex and ineffective defense known to college football. The players will look as if they're partaking in a cluster fuck of a Chinese fire drill even more so than they ever did in the past under the tutelage of Iaz and Orlando and the best part is we won't have to watch it. I'm to the point where slamming my dick in the door is more appealing than watching Orlando's cluster fuck of a defense. Orlando's defense is literally the worst of any P5 team and it's unwatchable.

I hear GDGD is available as well. Maybe they could make it a trifecta.

That's a huge insult to GDGD. Despite his (large) flaws, he's in a different galaxy than those two. Watson is more of their type.

They'd be great at tackling.

Exactly. No one should be expecting the Texas defense to be better than the worst in Texas history and one of the worst in all of college football. Those are outrageous expectations.

which one?

#1643

The one about his qbs talking about his “coaching”.  He’s the antithesis to Orlando.  Leach made offense simplistic and all it has done is put up big time points consistently for over two decades.

Honestly, my biggest gripe with this formation is that it puts Joseph Ossai ~13 yards away from the Quarterback.  That means that even if he got a free, straight-line run at the passer, it would take him 1.6 (or so) seconds to get there.

#1645

Did any one else catch Orlando saying in this week's presser that the proper way to tackle is to put your shoulder into the other guy? What about the wrapping up part? We have seen plenty of shoulder tackles that don't stop jack shit this year. Now we know from the horses mouth why it is happening so often.

Without a huge talent advantage, GDGD was exposed in 2010 and at Iowa. Likewise, Watson did well with 2001 Colorado pushing our shit in with an awesome oline and stable of running backs and with Teddy Bridgewater against AAC competition.

Note, I’d still take GDGD over Watson. Im just saying their differences are mostly amplified by circumstance.

They seem to stop our players from being able to continue playing.

Scipio has been harping on this for a while.  He claims the staff does not teach/reinforce proper tackling fundamentals.

Watson never covered the spread with Bridgewater at QB and also managed 7 points with that same CU team earlier that season.
