Originally posted by lanceodom View PostInteresting. I have to believe (hope really) that Sark sees something in Malik that we as everyday fans don't see. He must believe he can coach him up or believed at that time that he had some time with a project because he had Card and Thompson and thought one of them would step up and be the man.

Some of these freshmen are showing they are capable of handling the situation and pressure of big games and can learn as they play. 2 years from now most will have transferred to some place they can play if they are not in the starting lineup. I guarantee Ewers and Manning will not sit out and be happy.
Peyton is pretty vocal about the fact that the plan was to redshirt at Tennessee, but Heath Shuler went to play baseball and another guy got hurt so he had to play. Still says he wished he had been able to redshirt.
Whoever gets Ewers is going to have to promise him the starting job. He ain't sitting, but he has technically already redshirted.

Originally posted by Heath View PostI was listening to Rob Babers on the Horn on the way home last night and he had some great stats with QB's and the transfer portal. Almost 60% of QBs that are blue chip guys will transfer. The number actually increases when you look at just the Elite 11 guys. Nobody is waiting and developing anymore, which again is why the Malik Murphy offer makes no sense unless he is a QB2 take and you have Ewers or Manning as your QB1 (bird in the hand though). It will be interesting to see what Murphy looks like when he gets to Austin.
That plan obviously didn't work out well, but it made some sense.Last edited by El General; 12-07-2021, 09:55 AM.

Originally posted by El General View PostThe general consensus was that taking Malik Murphy would position Texas well to go after Ewers and get him to flip back as the Ewers family and Sark had some productive talks right after he was announced as HC (and continued to have for several months after). Neither Klubnik nor Weigman would have stayed committed if Texas was openly recruiting Ewers. And, taking a commit from either of those two while recruiting over the top of them would have been a poor first step in building relationships with Texas high school coaches.

Weigman is the opposite as his highlights look like a dude running for his life all the time.
Generally speaking, anytime you see a freshman QB excelling, it is because he has a veteran offensive line.

Originally posted by Heath View PostMakes sense, if he ends up with Ewers and Malik in this class. I really thought Malik would add some value in recruiting with West Coast dudes, but he has not.

Originally posted by Fmjag64 View PostI mean I’m not sure judging an entire roster off of 2 losses to cross-state rival programs is the best assessment. Tech starting quarterback, Oregon transfer Shough, broke collar bone late in Texas loss and didn’t play vs TCU. So the whole season could’ve been a dumpster fire given the QB and Coach setbacks but they still powered through to 6-6 with a couple close losses. I think the better indicators are the win against Houston, grinding win at West Virginia and vs ISU and taking the Big 12 Champions down to the buzzer last game of season.
Tech's biggest problem the last dozen or so years was the defense or should i say the offense. By that i mean they had an offense that could score in under 2 minutes on most defenses and then put the defense back on the field with little rest. The defense was worn out in the 3rd and 4th and would give up too many points.
Defense wins championships. Tech hired coaches in the past to have a wide open offense and most were satisfied with bowl eligibility every year. This new coach may change that, if not it will be the same old same old results. JMO!
