I trust Coach Strong to continue to make good choices in regard to his assistants. If he thinks Watson is the best guy for the OC job, given the talent he appears to be pulling together otherwise, then I'm not qualified to second guess him. Frankly, but for the splash hire aspect of things, and...

Since y'all are just guessing, why not be optimistic and not pessimistic (unless you want Watson - jk)? It's all going to play out soon enough. Waiting on gloom and doom isn't a good way to spend your energy. With that said, since no one on this thread has a clue (and neither do I, just a fan)...

I agree. Age a factor, although not a rule out factor. Gimmick offense that fails against good defenses. Didn't have his team ready to play in the biggest game for Baylor in 20+ years. Out coached in bigger games, including last night. Most penalized team shows lack of discipline. Fun to watch...
