PelvisPresley Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 and that's what's difficult...it starts from the beginning as you build your team...you have to build it with a chip on it's shoulder (find a reason...make up a reason (I used to)...find kids with a grudge/chip/extra reason to work hard - to exceed) and build every second frothing to prove something!!!

Dude absolutely refuses to put his foot on the pedal when we've got the momentum. I don’t understand it, you need to beat on a team until it is out of reach on the scoreboard and in their minds. Don’t let a decent team hang around, because it’ll burn you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear that, guess what though, Keaontay trying to do exactly that is why he fumbled on the goal line against TCU. He was trying to prove he was the guy at RB, tried to win the game and stretched that ball out there. Double edged sword sometimes.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelvisPresley Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I hate to say with my teams...in building...if my players/recruits didn't have some type chip on their shoulder towards my main 2-3 competitors from the start...it wasn't nearly as good. I was going to to recruit those kids a lot harder because I knew their makeup would give them a bigger upside for team success!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAFan11 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Inside Texas put out a list of DC candidates: Zach Arnett - Mississippi State DC Marcus Freeman - Cincinnati DC Tosh Lupoi - Atlanta Falcons DL/OLB (former DC at Alabama) Peter Sirmon - Cal-Berkeley DC Derrick Mason - Vanderbilt HC John Glenn - Seattle Seahawks LB Pete Golding - Alabama DC Chris Ash - Texas DC Lupoi would be considered as a CO-DC with the other CO-DC having play call duties. Glenn was apparently recommended by Pete Carroll to Sark Ash is being considered at Florida and Arizona and some think he may go with Urban to the NFL if that were to happen.

Mr. P Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 10 minutes ago, HearEmaGrowlin said: A large part of that was UT’s insistence on running Ehlinger and using the RB’s as additional blockers. Herman was too hard headed to let an RB work when he got into a rhythm, because that rhythm was always short lived. Maybe Sark will allow Bijan to get 25 - 30 carries pretty routinely. Well, to be fair, that's literally the Herman offense. The QB was the primary running threat at Houston and Ohio State. Though I'm admittedly skeptical of Sark being successful overall, one thing I do expect to improve significantly is the run game, led by actual halfbacks instead of wannabe Tebows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they didn’t say Texas would hire Mason or any of these guys. Just that these were guys that they have heard mentioned. They actually think it’ll be the Mississippi St guy.

I was not impressed with the Miss State defense geez...seriously, aside from being a young guy that got an SEC DC job with a team that ONLY cares about offense. I would think Ash would be kept and/or they would go after Lupoi hard because of the abilities he also brings on the recruiting side of things. I would really also look to go back at Barry Odom and figure out a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s rumored that Satk really liked the way his defense looked when he was studying film. Lupoi is still in play but he wouldn’t call the defense.

I wish he had went to Tcu or Baylor where he could have made an impact. Health was issue so wasn’t all their fault. I assume he is eligible at any D1 ( Covid). No way he beats out Evans at TCU. I had heard he was interested in A&M but everyone knows playing time would be almost zilch. My guess is UTSA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not starting now Ok if that’s what you want, but this might be the year to get in. We have a yearly limit on how many new fans we can take, and we had to downsize it this year cuz Covid. A bunch of folks that jumped on the LSU wagon last year that applied with us this year and got turned down. We won’t take anyone who leaves their team after less than 5 years. I’ve had some UGA and Florida fans messaging me on Facebook recently. Next year’s class might fill up fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hookemhorns88 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 23 minutes ago, AllGoodNamesRGone said: Mismanagement obviously , I am not trying to be rude but I don’t think Texas handled it properly. Gray was not mismanaged. Gray came to Texas knowing that Malcolm Brown was there a year ahead of him. Brown was a much-heralded player from Cibolo Steele. Brown is the starting RB for the Rams by the way. Gray came to Texas with the mindset that he was going to be a shoo-in for the NFL and he did not want the college grind to tear his body down so he was "good" with sharing the load with Brown. Both RB's had around 2600 yards for their careers at Texas. Unfortunately Gray blew out his Achilles and was never the same again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that was with a Mike Leach air raid offense that had a ton of 3-and-outs this past year. I'm not sure if he'll be the guy, but Arnett is legit. Look at his SDSU defenses.
