    So he's been on staffs with Choate, Saban, and Schiano and has Houston/Texas ties. Not going to act like this is some no-doubter but seems like it can work just fine to me.

    My sweet Lord. Reading the thread since the Muschamp hiring is borderline exhausting. Some of the hawtest takes on this recruiting board, ever, on here between pages 45 and 48. I was quoting posts at

Apparently you are not paying attention. Bijan was not a Choice recruit.

You do realize that all of those guys talk extensively about how much choice changed and enhanced their game, right? 

He was an incredible RB coach. Top tier. 

Here's my Flood hatred summed up.

Most here have had or maybe still have jobs. If you are given 4-5 years to get something done, you make a choice. If it's implement SAP - get out asap. Probably will bankrupt the company anyway. Otherwise, your choice is can do this or can't but have a 4 or so year runway to find a landing spot. I'm assuming you can lie to the Board on progress - maybe 2yrs.

Flood is an absolute disaster after his first year.

Hiring Juluke was about the only think Napier did right during his Florida tenure.

And RB coaches aren't being judged based off of how many yards their players get. It is a recruiting and relationship role.

A bit extreme.  Would you say the line got better this year?  Did Arch have more or less time to throw as the season went on?  Did Baker get better or stay the same?  What about Goosby?

I think the point is how did we have such a bad OL in year 5. They should have been as good at the beginning of the year as they were and the end, and gotta  better from there. We couldn’t figure out the front 5 until midway thru the season

I'd say T. Becton did this with S&C. It took what? 8 games to get the correct personnel in? It's not extreme. Flood and his recruiting after y1 is a disaster. Can we run for 1 yard on a 4 and 1 without Arch? No person on the OL got better other than bigger and stronger.

Relationships sure, but NIL is the recruiter these days. Give me someone who gets the most out of their backs.

Maybe he will slap the shit outta some of our players so they quit playing like pussies, if true(allegedly).

Yet here we are with the running back room full of his recruits that we are knocking down like a Jenga set. 

Per Gerry

Jabbar Juluke recruiting wins Rolodex … 

RB  Baugh - out of Atlanta

RB Trevor Etienne - out of Louisiana

RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire - at LSU out of La.

RB Ja’Kobi Jackson - to UF out of Miss JUCO 

And many others at different positions out of the Pelican State … a few NFL draft picks 

Some of those others …

S Grant Delpit - at LSU out of Houston Lamar 

WR Racey McMath - at LSU 

OT Saadiq Charles - at LSU out of Mississippi 

OT Caden Jones - to UF out of New Orleans 

QB DJ Lagway 

Adding RB Kenneth Dixon at La Tech

Dixon became the all-time leader at Louisiana Tech with 53 rushing touchdowns and 3,410 career rushing.

This is reductive and incorrect. Sure, it’s NIL first, but not only. Texas is still competing with other big time programs for many recruits in which NIL is comparable for all involved. Better recruiters are still winning more battles. Let’s not just fall prey to the $9.95er whines of “it’s only about NIL these days” as that is bullshit.

It’s also completely reductive to say recruiting is just about convincing someone to play for you. Evaluation is every bit as important if not more than the convincing part. This is the issue I have with Choice. His players like him and he made sure not to screw up sure things but man he was kind of shit in picking the right guys to play for Texas.

He said Flood was an absolute disaster.  He wasn’t.  Has he earned his salary and security?  That’s another question. Nuance can be a thing for some people.

He was. The fact we had the line we had this year in year 5 is disaster.

Convincing myself that this is the only staff move so far because the DB and OL hires are in the playoff. Get the Rutgers stench far away from this program

Yea. We saw what our offense looked like with a serviceable line later in the season. He does his job and figures that out earlier we are in the playoffs.

I think the biggest issue with Flood was personnel management, when the pancake factory started, people (myself included) deluded themselves into thinking it would turn into the new standard with high 4 and 5 star talent. But after that it was back to normal and we still we deluded ourselves into thinking Flood would develop them, 2023 class? sure you go with projects, but the projects kept coming class after class and we had it all explode in our faces this year. We are now desperate for transfers and then pray that they can mesh quickly for our all-in season next year.

Flood needs to go, I said it before but the best HC hires need an elective/minor in OL because Sark should have seen it coming as well.

I agree with this. But I also believe being able to develop your guys along with the baseline recruiting edge provided by NIL the at Texas is more valuable than just being a rainmaker as was the thought in the pre-NIL recruiting landscape.

It’s a spectrum, but the development side is something that Choice provided that really stood out to me.

Why should I be excited about this Jabbar guy? Serious question.

Also, why is everyone here so in love with Baugh? 5.3 ypc isn't much better than Wisner's 4.6 behind the worst line in the SEC. His longest carry on the year was 26 yards..

He's a tough runner and he's got much better speed than wisner.

its because we have the worst coaching staff in the country. if we don't have 5 star seniors playing every year averaging 90 pts a game and not allowing a single yard or point , we suck monkey balls and need to tear it all down.

YPC ain’t everything. He has a better YPC than Lacy and I would 100% take Lacy and his 20TDs over him. Baugh is a strong runner and the 3rd leading rusher in the SEC. Hes not our best option but he is a solid upgrade.

Well there goes the longest carry is 26 yards stat. Unless that got called back.

Wake me up when Flood is gone.  It's amazing the skill players magically got better when the o-line started playing simply mediocre.

Our running game was good under Choice, and fell off a cliff as soon as he left, and you think that's evidence that Choice isn't a good RB coach.

5.3 ypc when you had 220 carries is very good. Baugh was a workhorse, no other RB on Florida had even 30 carries on the season.

I find your question odd. Have you watched him play? He's pretty good. Also, there is a pretty big difference between 5.3 YPC and 4.6. That's like saying "so and so shot 50% from the field, which isn't much better than so and so shooting 40%".
