Hopefully Memphis can Bounce back!!

Don't disagree. I think the "goal" is the same but maybe the "expectations" aren't. Not saying it's fair, just the way it is. You also have a school with one of the largest living alumni bases in the world so when they are ticked off the screams can be heard from a LONG ways away. Couple this with funding the SEZ enclosure, new tennis facility and new basketball arena and the big money guys have a strong voice right now.

I'm reminded of Mack relaying his conversation with DKR the day after the 2006 Rose Bowl when DKR told him to enjoy the win because some of them will hate you again tomorrow.

Proud of my school and my degree but there's no denying we have one of the most fickle screwed up fan bases in the Country.

I concur and they are missing the boat! It could be really special(and will be) if they would just let it run its course. I'm not saying Charlie isn't one(time will tell), but there are less GREAT head coaches out there than there are storied programs. It is vital that he surrounds himself with good coaches/personnel in order to right the ship. This will be the most important recruitment this offseason for him IMO.

And then some IMO. It's make or break for Charlie and will add or subtract years to the turn around on the field either way. Have to believe Charlie will get a blank check to match the highest paid assistant in the Country if not more. No excuses

I would think so and seems to be the opinion of most of my Longhorn friends as well. Choose wisely young Jedi

Yep. Really the only way it can be. Even if you give him next year and terminate him, that's still 2 years early. Better be able to say you gave every opportunity.

I'm hoping they keep Traylor and convince Norvell to go back to WR coach. I'd be fine if they fired the rest.

Is Traylor a good coach, or strictly for recruiting purposes?

[eradicator]

Bumpas being gone obviously hurts, but I think Kenny Perry leaving has actually been the biggest blow. He could recruit, but he could REALLY coach DB's. He has been known for that for as long as I can remember(even as a HS coach).

[bdchorn]

Too early to say. He was viewed as a phenomenal high school coach and a spread to run innovator. I wish he would have been given a chance this year at UT but way too dangerous to make him OC for next year with no skins on the wall.

He's just a guy I have a hunch is going to make a big mark in college ball and I'd hate to see him do it elsewhere after wasting his talent at UT under the Watson/Norvell mess

If you listen to fan speak most chatter is for Cumbie or Sterling Gilbert.

Smells of a sock to me.......

Well it ain't me!!!!

Welcome to the fire, Kyle! We look forward to fresh input!

Welcome to the fire...all depends on what the fresh input is

I think 'open qb compitition' means qb change in sumlin speak...


Also, Hi everyone. I am new here, this is my very first post actually. Brand new to bow hunting and hunting in general. Will be getting a bow shortly, practice, practice, practice and get ready for next season opener.
Looking forward to being active on here and taking in all I can!

Good first post! From this it appears you may be an Aggie and you may need a little help on an avatar

Does anybody "got" any exact score predictions for games this week?



LOL

I got BAMA over the Buccaneers. 51-3

The problem is there are no sure things out there. Urban isn't sitting on the sidelines waiting on a call.

I don't think Herman is any bigger risk than hiring a guy that's been a head coach for 4 years with decent success, ie Strong or Sumlin. And he's potentially a really special coach.

He was a big help to BAMA in the offseason.

Charlie denies all of this of course. Unfortunately there's a big part of the UT contingent that would be happy with it. Regardless of if you are a Charlie fan or not, I just don't see it without UT assisting in the process. IMHO Miami can't afford the buyout or the $5MM salary he makes now.

Ole Chollie might let them keep the money just to get away from the circus.....that poor guy was doomed from the start. He's a good coach, not great......knee jerk hire by Texas. Next round they'll ask Red what he thinks, appears he was right!!

Welcome Kyle.....don't let this guy pick your avatar, he'll have you sporting Beiber or Kaitlyn.....that the same thing? Anyway....ha!!

Was/is he a better high school coach and/or offensive genius than Todd Dodge?

Holding out hope. There are some clock management, personnel and staff issues that scream disorganization but I'm hoping he can take a cue from Gary P and turn the offense over completely to a good crew. Do that and he can win it all here IMO but he's going to need to get better at the little things no matter how good the offense is.

I'd say they are viewed with the same respect. SLC had size advantages that Gilmer didn't have. Both won multiple titles and both are/were offense guys.
IMO Traylor was more innovative than Dodge was at SLC, but I haven't watched Westlake much.

I think Dodge took the wrong job at UNT but who knows. Some guys just don't make it at the next level and Traylor could be one of those guys but I wouldn't bet against him.
