The defense was much better and I was pretty happy to play their backup as the starter looked really good. That said, his conference record was just too poor to continue betting on. They gave him a good amount of time. Sucks that he really might have had a shot to improve the record this year without injuries, but he didn't, and the record is pretty damn bad.

November 25, 20187 yr he was not working with much because he recruited poorly and ran so many fuckers off he was terrible at recruiting for positions of need and about worse at actually connecting with QBs

November 25, 20187 yr I could see Jake Spavital getting the job. I don’t know if he’d keep his brother on the staff though.

Anybody else heard this or know what the rumors were about? Rumor that he closes bitches. Very, very, very hard. Don’t know if there is anything substantial there.

An even better question is how many of the Top 100 football recruits in Texas have even seen Hell or High Water and of those, how many are stupid enough to believe that's a realistic portrayal of the Texas Tech campus? And mostly because none of the movie took place in Lubbock or in anything but a small town in West Texas, allegedly
November 25, 20187 yr 3 hours ago, DeadArmadillo said: I chose to go to Tech after spending three semesters at a high level academic school in the Northeast when I realized that I wasn't going to set the College Football world on fire back in 1982. I contribute to the school financially and in any other way I can. I have strong feelings for my school and the region from which I came. When I saw the announcement by the University of Cincinnati that they had hired Tommy Tuberville, I was ecstatic. I was as happy as could be to see that jackass son of bitch leave. But not with Kliff This one hurts. Not because I didn't want to see him fired. His record was not good enough for Tech to keep him another season. But because he represented the school so well, with professionalism and integrity. I really wanted him to succeed. I only had one personal interaction with him. My dad and I were sitting in the stands, watching the spring game in, I think, 2005. He was a few rows behind us and was being hounded by little kids and teenage girls wanting his autograph and pictures. He looked down a few rows, saw us, and I guess figured we'd be the least invasive people in the area and a good escape. So he sat down and just asked us how we were doing. We had a really nice 15 minute conversation with him. A very funny, smart charming guy. (I wanted to ask him just how great it was to hold Jessica Simpson's sweet, unleashed rack, but my dad and all) Talked about his New England experience and you could tell then, even from that short conversation, that he wanted to coach or do something teaching football And yes, CSB I don't know your dad, and even though I'm probably a little bit younger than he was at that point in time, I can pretty confidently say you should have asked Kliff about Dukes of Hazzard era Jessica.

November 26, 20187 yr ADs comment means he wants a proven head coach. No Spavital, no Major, no other coordinators. They are going to do an Aggie lite and overpay for some guy who’s had multiple 10 win seasons.

November 26, 20187 yr I'll bet that if Tech could scrape up $67.6 million for the next 9 years they could get Jimbo.

If you read below that retarded post you’ll see I heard WV apparently isn’t giving Red Bull the love he deserves. If they did I highly doubt Tech has a chance at taking their corch. My 2 cents. Hell, I was born in Lubbock, and still have family there. Most of our cousins went to UT but Tech is our second favorite team. I hope I’m wrong and tech lands a big fish. Good people out there. They deserve a winner.
November 26, 20187 yr Wouldn't mind seeing him as an analyst on our staff for a year. Add to/expand Herman's offense.
November 26, 20187 yr I can see Tech offering John Harbaugh a ton of money so they can sell to recruits that he’s a Super Bowl champion.

I don't think Holgorsen will come to Tech, but I don't think he's the caliber of coach that should elicit the "oh, and they're also looking at Nick Saban, yuk yuk" cliche.

They were very good in 2008...good enough to compete with elite teams at points when the circumstances were right (night, halloween, number 1 Texas, espn, etc.), but not elite. Elite teams don't get completely blown off the field or allow 65 points as Tech did that year form Oklahoma - and OU could have scored more.

November 26, 20187 yr Just reading this thread, there are some misconceptions about what Tech can afford. Truth is, things have changed drastically in the last 2 decades in terms of money available for hiring coaching talent. I believe we have been tighter than most in this regard. Even if we could compete on that level with Texas or aggy (we cannot), we wouldn’t. Were not too far off the pace IMO. We do dumb shit, but not with the money. We’d open funding for Dana for sure, and Venables if he checks out. Dana would work. BV would not....just not a fit, imo. Only knock on Venables is he has never had all of the responsibility before, and were not interested in going thru another trial period. Personally, i think there are better HC candidates on the Clemson staff than BV. We would not consider The Major and he probably would not want to be in Lubbock. The Troy HC Neal Brown is doing well and I like him as a darkhorse over Littrell. He was the only bright spot on Tubs staff at Tech and bounced back nicely. One thing he has over the others is that he has taken inferior talent into Norman and blown their doors off despite his HC cutting his nuts. There is this notion that if we would just get a defense, all problems solved. Pfft. Bama has a goddamn D. Nobody else does. Only freaks across the 2 deep is shutdown D possible. But we could be better. Other than that, the Utah St HC has a record but i have no clue about him. If this were 2 years ago Id want PJ Fleck...just to see the show. Beat OU. Again. Please.
