I wonder how he'll do coaching the "hands" team.

New Safeties and special teams coach at UH

What's the expression?

Those that can, do.  Those that can't, teach.

Thought maybe he was in the transfer portal

Seems like you could have just dropped this in the coaching carousel thread, no?

Blake Gideon is past that.  He's more than a coach.  He has ascended to a place in Longhorn lore that few can attain.

Like Michael Huff?

I think Gideon was a lot better than Haines, but at least Haines had a knack for getting picks.

Those who can do neither comment on message boards.

this thread already delivers.

craig curry lived long enough to see vindication.

so did bartman.

unfortunately, unless the tceh regents bring the pirate back, i think gideon goes to his grave without total consciousness.

Promoted to Coach on the Sideline.

Good luck Blake. I always respected how he moved on from that...night that will not be named.

Yeah Haines was our program in its most decadent days. But yeah he is, amazingly, one of our career interception leaders. Michael Huff has nothing on Dylan Haines when it comes to interceptions.

LJH exorcised some of the Demons in Lubbock....

"With 21 seconds left, Longhorns quarterback Sam Ehlinger flung a jump ball up to Lil’Jordan Humphrey, who caught it through tight coverage on the exact same sideline Crabtree had tiptoed a decade ago and muscled his way to a 29-yard touchdown that helped Texas squeak out a 41–34 victory."

That game meant nowhere near as much as the Crabtree one. The plays were just similar.

I will never forget I was at a Halloween party on that terrible night, and when that play happened the amount of depression that filled the room from all the horn fans was equal to the celebrating and cheering of the aggys. What an emotional beating.

Hopefully, he doesn’t let this opportunity slip through his hands.

The problem he faces is the TURNOVER of the Houston coaching staff.

Our old babysitter ran track at Texas at that time so she knew a ton of football players. She was hanging out with friends and Gideon was there. She said he was a pretty entitled dick. He barked an order for her to throw him a bottle of water. She grabbed one and said “I better walk it over, you may drop it.” This wasn’t a week after the drop.

this.  tceh would have to be undefeated for a t+1 game in labuttocks, and then lose to us again at the deathstar, the following weekend, and in fact it is entirely possible there will never be a comparable situation.

i also blame art briles.  with less than a minute left, in the last game of the 08 regular season, in lubbock, on 4th and 5, he sent rg3 straight in to the tech line, straight up the middle.  i still to this day think briles fucked us on purpose at the end of that game.  baylor finishes the comeback, and they were going to, before the idiotic 4th and 5 call, beats tceh, and there is no 3-way tie, there is no shit-eating switzer, and we annihilate tebow.

Hagbard knows the rules

He should coach receivers at OU.

Edited by Bevo14

Anybody actually know how good of coach he is right now because he and his dad sure as shit know football? Sure, when he was a freshman he came up short, but he got an int in the NCG in ’09 before the wheels came off, so for me- fuck it, it balanced out.

Hes a smart guy with a good head on his shoulders who can provide his students with some great experience in big time situations. Good for him.

I love fake stories like this.  

That sounds like that might be a ‘you’ problem...

Helped get Texas to the B12 CCG and Sugar Bowl though......🤘

His INT in the NCG cost us big time yards. It was 4th down and Bama did a fake punt pass. I’ll blame him for Colts injury on the ensuing drive as well.

Yeah, starting at Bama’s 37 vs the 20 was an insurmountable disadvantage 🙄

Were you lucky enough to be molested by her?

Seems right. It's the same expression I have reading most of his posts.

She didn't say that.  It's more likely that someone told her afterwards that she should have said that, so she claimed it as her own because she's an attention whore.

For all the crap Gideon gets for that drop, I blame FUPM and Colt before I blame true freshmen Gideon and Earl Thomas.  On our last scoring drive, Texas should have been bleeding the play clock to <5 seconds instead of snapping it with >20 seconds. We should have done that until the game clock was under 30 seconds.

Now for a non-fabricated story.  Our family was watching that game along with my son's best friend. During that last drive, I was cussing at Colt after every play for not running the play clock down. When we scored, all the women-folk were dancing and hugging while I was throwing a hissy fit. They turned to me expecting a fucking high five or something, and all I could howl with a cracked voice was, "We left too much goddamned time on the clock." My son's friend (a Nebraska fan) thought that was so funny that he reminded me of that story for years.

In case anyone is wondering what role Thomas played in this, watch a replay of Crabtree's TD and notice how Thomas runs out of bounds instead of helping Brown (Curtis? Chykie?) keep Crabtree out of the end zone.

Ahhhhh, great fucking memories.

Dropped the one he should have caught and caught the one he should have dropped.  Cost us 2 national championships.  Fuck.

Colt should have run more time off the clock and shouldn’t have gotten hurt. Cost us 2 national championships.

Stupid oversimplifications are fun.

He gets a lot of flack for that drop but he wasn’t terrible minus his freshman season. Granite he was opposite Earl Thomas his sophomore season that might of helped him
