Tejas, my apologies man. I made the post that you are referencing and after re-reading it I realize how confusing it was.
Let me try again and hope I do better.
Under Strong and Watson, Texas has scored less than 20 points in 7 out of 14 games. And in 6 of those 7 games, Texas scored less than 10 points.
I hope this makes more sense now. Sorry about that.

I haven't made it back yet, so I don't have a DVR in front of me...if memory serves on the 2nd play, Heard got a shotgun snap, hesitated (like he didn't know the play), then hurriedly tried to make the read exchange with the RB (almost fumbling it). By the time he had the ball secured, the Irish linemen were converging.
You're correct, there was plenty of blame to go around on the play.
Here is a current list of coaching salaries

Strong is getting paid more than Urban Meyer

When you make that kind of money, you better have thick skin and the ability to make decisions that are best for the program. Loyalty is a great characteristic but it can also get you fired.

WHAT WE’LL BE TALKING ABOUT: It’s not all about Notre Dame. Though the Irish proved themselves worthy of their preseason hype, the Longhorns’ performance yielded enormous concerns over the validity of an offseason transitioning toward a spread-based foundation. Not the defense was without its own concerns: Texas had its moment of activity in the Notre Dame backfield, but the inept play of this secondary is confusing, given Charlie Strong’s defensive background.
But the offense is a disaster, and the main reason why Strong’s second season may resemble his first — in the standings, at least. Nowhere will the lack of punch be more evident — and more of an Achilles' heel — than during league play, when the Longhorns will be forced to score in bunches to keep pace with Baylor, TCU, Oklahoma and the rest of the Big 12 Conference.

Excluding the true freshmen, did the play of anyone on the team improve over the Spring/Summer?
Several were worse - Haines, Flowers, Green Mile, Thomas (I guess?)
Who did this coaching staff make better?
(Rose doesnt count)

also from that USA Today ^^^ piece on us --
It’s been suggested that the Texas offense made an offseason move toward this century, scrapping a pro-style system predicated on timing and perfection for a spread-based, up-tempo slant in the vein of conference rivals Baylor and TCU, let alone the wide majority of high schools within the program’s home state.
Yet this isn’t quite true: Texas’ offense isn’t different, exactly — in fact, it’s the same offense at its core, simplified slightly through terminology, merely run at a quicker speed. As a potential solution, it’s akin to fixing a broken bicycle chain by pedaling faster.

Update/correction - this USAToday list from above was "as of 2014"
tOSU gave Urban a pay raise after the end of last season, so his salary will actually be more than Strong's for 2015

Our fans were so loud it got the baseball announcers attention (ex Astros announcer Jim DeShaies is the one of the two who knew what was going on)
Sadly ironic that those fans who traveled so well never had a chance to be heard like this at the football game
Lastly, I got $10 bucks that says aggy, as is their wont, tries to duplicate this moment at some point in near future

A few days ago, it was reported Saban is unhappy where he is
http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/ncaafb/nick-saban-said-to-be-%E2%80%98frustrated%E2%80%99-and-unhappy-at-alabama/ar-AAdR3bv?ocid=DELLDHP
Nick Saban said to be ‘frustrated’ and unhappy at Alabama
By Larry Brown
Nick Saban is signed to be the football coach at Alabama through 2022, but there is no guarantee he lasts that long in Tuscaloosa. In fact, one latest speculative piece of info suggests it wouldn’t be all that surprising to see Saban leave Bama before too long.
Football Scoop posted a story asking writers to make bold coaching predictions for next year. Scott Roussel, who is very plugged-in to the coaching landscape, boldly predicted that Saban would not be the Crimson Tide coach next season.
"I can’t support it by reportable facts, and of course there is no pressure from the administration; but from folks in the profession, I keep hearing 'Nick isn’t happy,' 'Nick seems miserable,' 'Nick is very frustrated,' and I can foresee the very real possibility that Nick pulls the rip cord and ejects from Tuscaloosa after this season. Where that parachute will land, well, that has to play out, but I don’t suspect T-Town will be Nick’s final coaching stop."
Saban has been visibly frustrated with Alabama’s quarterback situation, but does that mean he would leave the program? He is making at least $6.9 million per year as Bama’s head coach and guaranteed to always be one of the highest-paid coaches in the country. He has the respect financially and professionally. He has said he plans to retire at Alabama. But as we well know with him, Saban’s word is difficult to trust. The man flirted with the Texas job in 2013 but stayed in Tuscaloosa.
