Akina is a better coach than any defensive coach we have, but it's easy to forget he had a pass defense ranking in the 90s-100s with 3 NFL starters and a Thorpe.  

 

Babers would be interesting as a secondary coach, he said yesterday or day before he would consult or coach or whatever,  if someone reached out.   And that he would be cheap.

babers & huff might be good as secondary coaches since we run like 8 DBs

  • 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

I turn it back on to see the Baylor lb clap and cause the center to hike it, no penalty. Same thing ou did to us. Drives me nuts to watch baylor be coached well on d. Back to tequila.

He would be a great consultant and I would hope they overpay him since he's a legend but Tom has not proven to hire a guy who would not be a "Yes sir" coach plus Tom likely thinks he's not worthy because he has never put in the time as a coach...

So if I understand this correctly, we should have no missed tackles today. is this true?

Texas is back!

It’s sickening watching other teams play defense compared to the junk we put on the field

I mean only Syracuse looks worse.  It’s pretty sad.

Another Todd that struggled to find success. Maybe it’s just the name. What if we called him Tony from now on?

What about "That Tod"...

We should reach out to Bud Foster who's retiring at Va Tech--not for DC, just as a consultant. And yes, even in the face of his tippler reputation. He's only 60 and should have a couple of good years left in him. Pay him to come to the ATX and advise TH on the D in the daytime and hit 6th Street at night. About half serious about that. Downside is, I'm not sure how many Big 12-type offenses he's faced over the years.

Foster's bear front would get eaten alive in the Big 12. Defense in this conference really is a different animal, I'm sure Orlando would look like an all-world coordinator in the Big Ten going up against their slower pro-style offenses week after week.

What happened to Chris Adimora? He was the first among the 2019 2ndary recruits to get playing time,  but seems to have disappeared after we caught the injury bug, which seems paradoxical.

He made a couple plays on the ball vs OK State, including one that was TD saving. Based on the play of other DBs, one can infer that such ball skills are frowned upon in this program and he is in the dog house.

 

I started that as a joke but honestly after thinking about it, I think it might be the case.

Got to be the truth. Maybe some defensive coaches want to be let go and playing someone that isn’t horrible prevents that.

It’s worth a shot. Who knows? It might even turn him into a semi-bearable poster on here.

I am afraid K-State just runs to the edge all game and out plays Texas physically. I have seen zero from this defense to believe they can hold up.

I will be at game and would love to be proven wrong but this is not a tough team.

Eventually what’s going to happen is you’re going to get fired Todd. And you might end up taking the staff down with you.

I mean is this actually possible with 7 guys on the field under 200lbs?

On the one hand: FUCK

On the other hand: feeling confident about the sad, emotional hedge I made by taking K-State +7

What a relief. Here I was thinking the mind blowingly predictable, telegraphed blitzes of guys lined up 5+ yards off the LOS weren't working because they were fucking stupid calls. But it was the players not showing up the whole time.

He’s an absolute fucking idiot. His scheme practically requires a damn NFL corner and DL to work.

Football coaches aren’t very creative. They generally learn one system as a GA and run that same system for the rest of their career. It’s no surprise that Orlando can’t / won’t do anything differently.

Coaches who try to fit players to their scheme rather than the scheme to fit the players are typically dogshit

He would be a great consultant and I would hope they overpay him since he's a legend but Tom has not proven to hire a guy who would not be a "Yes sir" coach plus Tom likely thinks he's not worthy because he has never put in the time as a coach...
How do you know that he would be a great consultant? A good player is not what makes a great coach. Maybe you know him, not sure so I will give you the benefit of the doubt.

General George A. Custer still has unshakable faith in the Little Big Horn battle plan.. Can’t make changes out of panic. “Eventually what's going to end up happening is the 7th Cavalry is going to overcome and win soundly.”

Well I guess having total confidence in something that fails constantly is indeed a matter of faith.

I've met him but would not say I know him. The type of consulting I see him being best at is not on the field. I see him best used analyzing the team and opponents while providing solutions Even being a critical eye for the cb coach.

yeah, eventually, Todd they will but you won't be around to witness it you fucking blockheaded moron.  we likely have 5-7 coming and Herman is right on the mackovic track to be gone after next year.

 

Wow. I cannot wrap my head around the stupidity of that statement by Orlando.

too funny.  that is one of my favorite all in the family scenes.

What really gets me is that you know he didn't mean it as a callout to the players. He doesn't even understand how that's an implication that it's all on the players. The idea that the approach the staff has taken could be questioned or flawed is not something that's even in the realm of possibility, despite results to the contrary. Incredible. And not in a good way.

What he actually meant was eventually the nfl caliber guys will be developed and ready to the point that they will be able to kick some fucking ass and even I won’t be able to fuck shit up.
