And so it begins...yet without an OC

[KellyUT4Ever]

Today's the day-recruiting begins. You have no ties to Texas, and Sumlin and Briles are all over you. What does this offensive staff have to offer you that tells you this is the best offense for you? I don't see it. Good luck selling this to the recruits.

Please stop.

It's facts, for now. Like them or not-

I think it's an honest question. We know that UT is better because we've lived it and been a part of it but 17 and 18 year old kids haven't. They want to know what kind of offense they'll be in plus Sumlin and Briles sure have some exciting looking offenses.

I don't think it'll be that tough to sell Texas if we just keep on top of the recruits. I'm more worried about that - the organization of all the recruits/information and staying on top of it than I am about what we're telling them.

Only "fact" in your mind.

Um okay whatever you think. Reality

I kind of agree, he's bringing into two coaches, one is a decent QB coach coaching QBs and the other is a decent QB coach who he's bringing in to coach WRs? Neither are particularly known for recruiting. I'm also scratching my head.

He was doing so well until Watson and Koennig came into the picture. I'm trying to meet Strong halfway here, but he's making it real difficult with some of the names he's bringing in.

Actually it's an opinion based on current circumstances. . .

Do people really think that we were not going to struggle with recruiting a bit with a coaching change? Perhaps the same people who bought the wannabe insider nonsense that Mack had "lost the team" . ..the relationship between coach and player/recruit is huge . .

Frankly. .I am about winning wars not battles. . .we knew (well anyone who's followed CFB for 15 minutes) there would be some stumbles but that is the battle. ..the war is winning on the field. . .

Couple observations for our ledge jumping friends. . .come signing day we'll land a good class. . .3 years from now we'll look back and say "hey. . .some really good football players. ..maybe Rivals isn't so accurate". ..

We're you the one sitting behind me at the 2009 OU game?

 

[t2x]

Quite frankly, you have no clue about whats going on in recruiting. At best, you are guessing....

Sorry CS hasn't called you yet. Im sure it is on his list to fill you in.

We seem to be installing the "chinese fire drill" offensive scheme. Unlike the "air raid" scheme which requires an OC, The chinese fire drill scheme allows for three different coaches directing the o-line in one scheme, the wr's another and the backs in an altogether different one. We seem to be about to perfect this scheme. Possibly, someone might want to take Coach Strong aside and remind him football is more akin to basketball and not golf. We want MORE points than the others, not less.

Wheels are still turning in the coaching world.

There are and have been other candidates out there.

Once the pro jobs all clear, there will be some good coaches left

You reminded me of this line by Wickline when rationalizing his decision for the Okies.

“I don’t want anybody to think that OSU is not a terrific place to live, to work,” Wickline said by phone. “ … It was a scenario that I felt it was a good situation for me at the time — for me, right now, because of the dynamics of the way it’s set up (at Texas).

What exactly did he mean by that comment?

 

[Hooverhog]

I'll reserve judgement, on the negative recruiting effect of the coaching changes, until signing day. As of now, I tend to believe that the Horns will pick up some good talent due to the new coaching staff and the team will be fine.

Meh on the OP

nothing about this is "facts." it is your negative spin.
