CB Wardell Mack: The fact he’s still practicing gives Texas a chance to keep him, I suppose, but a coaching change, at minimum, likely needs to happen to have a chance.

Position coach?

I'm fairly certain they're talking about getting rid of Akina. He is unpopular with the players.

No, he's demanding that Sarkisian leave obviously.

Nebraska and Rhule are so sad 🤣

Good thing for them they just extended him haha

Raiola has to go to Tech to complete his Mahomes transformation.

Breandan Sorsby also in the portal. Maybe the best of the bunch so far

I assumed from the start that Akina was a transitional coach for us, in part due to his age. As we didn't seem to get any clear benefit from his "teaching," it's hard for me to grasp his being around in 2026. But I don't claim to know who the best replacement would be.

Going to look a lot different on defense next year

The fuck?  That’s a surprising one

Strange. Maybe got a big offer and wants to be closer to Hawaii? Either way, a good player but a fungible one.

Very strange. A starter and I’m not sure who is going to offer more money than us? 

Well that fucking sucks

 

Prob first big playing time player we lose in the portal in recent years

Definitely wasn’t expecting that one. Seemed like he and TyAnthony Smith were going to be the starters at LB next year. 

We've been tampered with!

Oh well, let's do the same and get another LB to fill the vacancy.

Yeah, but as many of us have learned in life, Jaden Baugh has a say as well. So is he invested in Sumrall's rebuild? Or does he want a one year showcase?

When Sumrall was at Troy, he hired an OC who was run first because he wanted to play ball control offense and shut down defense, which worked really well. He oversaw Kimani Vidal, who became Troy's career leading rusher under Sumrall. Maybe they want to sell Baugh on an offense that is built around him in year one?

His ability to drop into coverage on HS tape didn’t really manifest here. Solid against the run when he knew which hole to hit. Didn’t get off blocks the best though. 
 

Good guy, wish he would have stayed to set the floor, but as was mentioned, he can be replaced. 

Gonna call my shot and say SMU for Lefau.

What other scholarshib LBs are on the roster currently, besides Smith? Barnes, the Georgia freshman... I'm sure there are others but can't think of them off the top of my head. Obviously a big portal need at this point.

Yeah no that is not happening. That dude is going to end up at Wake Forest or some shit.

Sorsby likely starts for Tech next season.

Looks like I only forgot one scholarship player, outside of what the recent signing class has. Cunningham. Not a particularly inspiring group.

Smith, Barnes and walk on per @AP101S tool this is the 25 vs 26 version.

Whoever took Lefau needs to be fucked with.

OnTexas saying it is a Texas decision. Not sure how it played out could be as simple as LeFau thought he was worth X and Texas thinks he worth X*.6

Edited by Codaxx

I find it hard to care until March. Just find a guy that will make the tackle next year and play the linebacker good. 

Fuck, I like Lefau too.  Good luck to him i guess.....

or he's a one dimensional player who can't cover and has a tendency to misplay the run at times.  Texas apparently considers him replaceable.

Had his moments both ways this season. Room lacks numbers and most of what is left does not shave yet. I would have preferred to have him on the team, but we shall see how it works out. Grabbing at least 1 LB in the portal seems like a lock now. 

Obviously plan on him not being here but if this was actually a Texas decision then there's a chance he finds out the market isn't what he thought it was. 

Not sure I believe that either way, though. 

Well definitely add LB to the portal needs list now. Can't go into the season with only T Smith having any experience at all.

Will be fun to see Barnes get a lot of playing time vs Michigan.

I know the portal exists but returning one dude who played and one dude who redshirted combined across Mike and Will makes the floor on your unit, even if you spend a fortune in the portal, potentially very very low.

Even if you flip Spence to Will that's two dudes total who have taken real snaps on your team right now.

Is it solvable? Sure.

Is it concerning? Abso-fucking-lutely.

just do what I do on ncaa 26 and move Jonah to LB

The 3rd best linebacker on this year's team leaving probably isn't the end of the world.

Lefau graded out as the 46th out of 59 SEC LBs with at least 90 snaps this season.

His best games seemed to be the first one and the last one. The 10 in-between were pretty meh.

One thing is for sure: Sark either ain't fucking around this offseason or he is fucking around and dropped the ball on this one. That'll be 9.95 please.

I was just thinking about that. Didn't Spence play 1 of the ILB roles at arky?

He stunk this year. His role was diminished on defense.

I feel like your first sentence rejects the premise of your remaining post. 
 

I know the grocery store exists but the fact that there’s nothing in the fridge for dinner tonight definitely increases our chances of dying of starvation.

he has a really strange season. Looked like an All-American vs OSu and by mid-season he looked pretty bad. Rebounded nicely vs A&M. I think the money angle makes sense. They have 2 young 5 stars that are probably eating up "cap" space at the position. I am sure Texas would have liked to retain him, but this sport is now a business.

It's more along the lines of hating units with floors that low.

Three dudes means you gotta spend time and money finding depth pieces in the portal. Maybe they are out there but portal depth of SEC quality dudes who want to come in and be backups isn't high?

Again is it an unsolvable issue? Absolutely not. Just hate to see it!

Someone else said it but the upside is Barnes gets a ton of time to play which is great for him and his development!
