The fucking Ewers thread on the football board devolved into a discussion of the Colorado 2001 CCG for fuck's sake. Let's get a grip. Things haven't been this good for Texas football since right before Colt got his shoulder mangled against Bama. Oh wait... fuck.... got damnit.... do you even know where you are? Surly masochism cannot be contained.

Like our own Godwin's law. Also not sure the turrets turned. He usually just walks in front of them and sits down.

December 13, 20232 yr 19 hours ago, Chips O'Toole said: I thought Holgorsen didn't pass the field sobriety test initial vetting process. That was Mack. What was said at the time was that Muschamp, being tired of waiting as the official Head Coach in Waiting attempted a coup. He pointed out to the big cigar motherfuckers that the O was pretty much entirely responsible for the plunge, and essentially forced Mack to get rid of GDGD. Boom wanted to poach Holgorsen from OSU. Mack put on his silver-tongue used car salesman persona and whined that Holgo the Barbarian was unsuitable for the finer culture of TEXAS, because he was divorced, lived in a Hotel, was known to drink to excess, was known to gamble, associated with female companions of unduly young ages... and, well, you prolly get the idea. Just... unsuitable. I supposed at the time that the cigars decided to humor Mack and let him pick his new OC. He picked Chryst. Chryst said "Fuck that shit" and demurred. I will agree with those of your who were at least somewhat pleased by the Harsin hire. It might have worked if Harsin had been able to ignore Applewhite's bringing of Mack's messages. Neither Applewhite nor Harsin had the personal strength to face down Mack. You need to keep in mind that GDGD was always basically nothing more than an extension of Mack and always did exactly as he was told. If it worked, it was all to the credit of Mack; if it didn't work, GDGD accepted the blame. GDGD was never more than about .500 as a coach if he didn't have Mack telling him what to do. When Mack ran out of ideas, GDGD had no help to give.

The guy was just overwhelmed with the role and the whole period was a debacle from beginning to end. Board behavior during those 3 years was quite absurd and I don't think any Texas fan can look back on that period fondly. Yep. Want to be very clear that I was saying I, mistakenly, played the race card defending him all the time in those years. Black guys can, in fact, be incompetent too!

All he wanted was a Yes-man to run the offense the way he wanted. Holgo, warts and all, was more than just competent at offense, and I believe that if he had been given the reins we would have seen a hugely different last three years years of Mack. Granted, Holgorsen has not been a success at the head coach position, but that's not the same thing, at all.
