CFB Week 12 Thread

[Brock Middlebrook]

It's been strange to see how it's been handled it from the outside. Sumlin keeps preaching it's an open competition and it's based on practice. He's said Kyle is fine. I know there's the media / fan answer and then there is inside the program but it just seems been handled wrong from the outside looking in. It seems they have no clue who they should start and they creates division / controversy with players, media, and fans. It's an interesting turn of events going from QBU with two 5 Stars (as we were constantly reminded be the Aggie TBH faithful) to the mess it is right now.

I was interested to hear what Sumlin had to say today so thanks for posting it.

KA lost his job because he was pathetic on the field. We would have seem KM much sooner if he didn't cuss the coach.

If KM is going to get the start, they need to let him be a mobile QB. If there not going to do that, start KA from here on out and ride him out with the assumption KM transfers. KM is a duel threat QB and it's possible he was told not to run last week as they didn't need him too.

Good lord.

I also agree with this.

[Chad C]

I think if that happens it is a deal between Strong, Miami, and Texas to all get what they want and a win-win for all parties. This is assuming Texas wants Strong out which I don't think they do after season two.

I don't either and I don't think he leaves on his own accord. Eric Nahlin and the continued Feldman sourced material has the "Fire Charlie" folks on cloud 9. It's getting old.

Thanks for the reply. I would agree with the 2016 QB offer. I would think Allen has a higher transfer probability rate than Murray since he's a legacy.

And Murray is on the baseball team here

The media all giggles and makes jokes about Sumlin not talking about injuries etc. It makes me crazy Sumlin playing these games. I get why he wants to be secretive in an attempt to keep opposing defenses on their heels but good gosh! It seems he is relying on tricks and clandestine coaching to attempt to get some sort of angle all the time? To me that shows a lack of game planning, confidence and knowledge of coaching. I try and watch a lot of the great coaches press conferences and they run their business straight forward. I also have not seen hardly any successful program that go back and forth with dual quarterbacks? Makes me punch air.

Its because he's a Bush League coach......I hope he leaves and takes Spav and Murray with him.

In John Chavis I trust and go get Herman.

Is Ford going to do anything for Aggie next year?

You should watch a few Bill Bellechick, and Greg Popovich pressers when they are feeling surly!

Fixed it for you!!

[oktx]

Fixed it for you!!

Thanks! I will keep an eye on your spelling and grammar also. We can help each other out like that. So, about Ford?

[Heath]

What's the old adage.... If you play two QBs you have no QB.

I disagree with this as it can be done. Oklahoma Stare is doing a great job using Rudolph and Walsh. I think you have to make sure you are utilizing both of their QB talents. You have to be really careful though when it comes to the how you handle the starter is handled or you can split a locker room.

Agree with this but can see why so many are following Feldman on this. On the surface, Strong to Miami and Herman to Texas seem like good fits.

Just hate seeing the fan base so divided. Never a good thing.

No offense to Herman(it's actually a tribute) but I hope he leaves the state soon

I think if sumlin plays it right and sells it right. He can keep both qb's on campus this offseason. I stated above my thoughts on it. I think trying to get a qb for 2016 is too late aside from a juco transfer.

Yep. It's early but he seems to have a heck of a future. I know there are those that will say "well it's UH and they don't play anyone". True, but the teams they do play have the same talent his team has IMO.

I think Charlie should get another year to get the offense turned around, but if that doesn't work or he's unwilling to make the necessary changes on that side of the ball then Herman would be at the top of my list.

Ironically, it's because of GMFP and TCU that I still have confidence Charlie can turn it around.
