You will see. Nothing special in the Big 12 except TCU and Oklahoma to worry about.

What about Maryland?

[Pin Oak DXT]

I tend to agree and OU doesn't scare me with the midget Aggy reject either.

The time is now. WIN.

I'll agree with Bob. Kyler shouldn't scare anybody.

If they lose to the Terps again I will be on suicide watch. Lol.

I can't figure out how the big plan at OU is to have Kyler pick up this year where Mayfield left off last year.

Unless he was just incredibly under-coached (possible with the last regime) at TAMU I just don't see the potential.

In all honesty, how many years do the Texas folks think it should take to turn this thing around?

For reference, GP was terrible his first year and righted the ship. He was then terrible his first two years in Big 12 and righted the ship his third year.

I would think in Herman's third year he could/should make some noise in the conference and postseason discussions...


I understand there are a ton of differences in the two situations, but it's mind boggling that it could be in this state with the amount of resources, etc.

Mack took a steo back in year two after losing a Heisman winner. Stoops came out of nowhere to win it all in year two with another coaches players. Hmmm, that coach was black too. Lol.

I hope Herman has a successful 20 year career. It doesn't have to turn around fast but it could.

To truly turn it around, they have to recruit AND develop. Are they doing that now? I think the QBs will tell the story but odds are they are no where near the level required to make noise outside of the conference. I think most of the predictions I have seen are about right. Competitive, but with work to do.

If you go back and re-watch the Texas vs USC title game, the talent on the field is staggering.

Right, so how does it get this bad?

It all started to snowball when Mack started replacing staff...

I get it I guess. I never thought Mack was a great football coach(x's and o's) or evaluator. He was certainly the GOVERNOR and recruiter!!

I personally think it was the complacency with the AD that allowed it all. There are two reasons why TCU was able to be somewhat relevant(in the big 3 sports). Gary Patterson and CDC(I honestly think CDC has benefited more from GP than the other way around).

CDC knows how to play the role and get the money moving.

GP runs the show in Fort Worth.

Yes on all accounts. I sensed some resentment on CDC's part watching media days last week.
