2025 Off-season

You probably said the same thing about Baker when he replaced Bo Davis and look how that has turned out. Yes there was juicer names like Samples from Oregon or the Baylor running back coach. But he did turn a tight end into a running back to give them a 1000 yard rusher as a freshman and now will be playing for Ohio State next year.

I didn't say that. In fact, I didn't comment at all.

I just don't see the pedigree with this guy. He's put no name brands in the NFL. He hasn't lined up across from consistent run stopping teams, week in and week out, and produced anything that makes your eyes pop out.

I hope I'm wrong.

This is worth watching. Not bad for a low budget documentary about Vince Young.

I believe Vince Young was the greatest college football player ever, and I’ll feel that way until the day I die. He was so transformative. Despite his personal demons and shortcomings, he was actually even better than we thought.

I don’t think we’ll ever see another college player like him.

I still remember so many of those ridiculous plays he made during that championship season.

Well Terry Joseph is gone to NOS. This hire has to be a homerun hire. Michael Huff your up.

That's the one downside of making it to the final four of the playoffs two years in a row... everyone wants your coaches. The other side of the coin is that any coach who has ambitions of moving up the ladder should want to be part of Sark's coaching tree. He should have his pick of the litter similar to what Saban had. I hope he replaces them well.

My all time favorite play - the year before Natty, at KU, and the Longhorns can't get out of their own way. An awful performance and monumental upset in the making. Facing 4th and 18 about a minute to go, Vince saves the day with a 19 yard run. I'm convinced that without that play, they never would've won it all the next year given the negativity towards Mack and the positive confidence that came from beating Michigan in the Rose Bowl. No doubt - when it comes to CFP, Vince is the GOAT.

Just prior to that game, Greg Davis (especially) and Mack had been trying to get Vince to fit into Greg's little "box" of how a QB is supposed to play. Mack saw the writing on the wall and finally begged him to "let Vince be Vince" and Greg agreed.
Of course, Greg had to slowly give up the reigns to Vince and his freelance style of play-- but he finally did--- about midway through that game. Though Davis would never fully admit it- the kstate game was the moment when he realized that Vince wasn't just "special"----- but that he could do things, as a player, that Davis had never seen done.
Mack talked about it in a Sports Illustarted interview many years ago- but Greg never commented on it.

Pride?
Ego?
Maybe.

The reality is that Vince had a better than decent arm. He had moves and shakes. He was stronger than he looked. He was faster than he looked. His balance was insane.

But above all---- the dude just had this innate desire to gut you like a fvcking fish.
