Longhorn News/Discussion (Non-Recruiting)

[MikeV73]

LSU was doomed to lose after the premature Gatorade bath to coach O.  

 

[MikeV73]

Boy that SEC defense is incredible. Such a low scoring game that LSU and A&M are having. We should be so lucky to have their defense. 

Ok st, WVU, ou, and Texas offenses would carve up these teams IMO.  

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Interesting development here.

At first glance I thought this was a joke.

Brilliant move by Herman. Absolutely brilliant. Beaty will be on staff this next year. Elite recruiter, Hook em

When I coached, we had a long time district opponent that moved up a classification. I spent a weekend chopping up film and getting insights from a friend on that staff on how they attacked us over the years. I gave them insights on how we defended them. Fairly common among coaches and now that Kansas has parted ways with Beaty, totally kosher,

Im glad Herman is pulling out all the stops.

 

[TexCoyote]

Right after the game I posted hire David Beaty. They’re finally starting to listen to me ))))

You know I don't know about you or anyone else in here. But I can definitely see two things here. 1. This might not be a bad idea considering that Kansas went toe to toe with Herman. I like this and 2. Call me crazy or stupid but Texas going to the Big 12 CG can be a good focal point to sell recruits in terms of the level and playing time opportunity  . In addition to this, Sam MUST be 100% for this game and all HANDS on deck

I think so too. Hopefully, he'll tell Sam that he's giving away his throws again by staring down his receiver. That happened a lot against KU.

Trivia. Latest rankings.
AP and Coaches are about the same, I'm going with AP for this number crunching. 

SEC has 7 of the top 22 positions, beginning with #1 Bama thru #22 A&M. 
Four of those 7 are in SEC West. 
The 7 teams combined for 18 losses.  
The other 15 of the top 22 poll positions, combined for 30 losses. 
Had they matched the rate-of-loss of those 7 SEC teams, they'd have lost almost 30% more games. 38.57 instead of 30.

Going into Conference Title weekend, teams in the Top 25
7 -- SEC 
4 -- Big 12
4 -- Big 10
3 -- Pac 12
2 -- ACC
Notre Dame
Army
UCF
Boise State
Fresno

Pollsters consider the SEC differently. A loss to an SEC school can actually benefit you, if its close and wasn't supposed to be. That consideration exists no where else but the SEC.

So with Kliff Kinsbury out at Texas Tech.
... and Larry Fedora not being retained at N. Carolina.

I see Kirk Bohls tweeted this: "I also hear Mack Brown is very, very interested in North Carolina job. Could bring former Texas DC Gene Chizik with him and try to bring Kliff Kingsbury as his OC."

We shall see.

 

[TexCoyote]

Who's going to be the first to post a picture of David Beaty in some longhorn gear? I am sure someone will catch a picture of him somehow.

 

[dillohorn]

Beaty should be hired and soon.

 

[texasdalton]

Looks like Mack to UNC is close to being a done deal.

i will always idolize Coach Brown. The last few years were painful but the good years I will never forget and the national championship is something that will always be remembered.

 

[TexCoyote]

Mack's a great man. The last SEVERAL years were hard to watch, but he is a great man. What's the worst that can happen? It doesn't work out and he rides away with a dump truck full of money like all these other guys are doing.

Between Mack and who he'll bring with him to NC, what's going to happen at Texas Tech, and where/when the Briles boys are going to get them a team again................it sure is going to be interesting.

 

[CoachEmUp64]

I don't get Mack to UNC. He could've just rode off into the sunset. I guess he just really missed coaching!

 

[oldhorn2]

does that mean we can quit paying him?

 

[tejasrulz]

One word - ego

 

[longhorn_mig]

Put that on the bulletin board, Tom. I hope we light his ass up.
