Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Coaching update, Sam's meeting with Tom and more...)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
Lukewarm is a good description of my sense of this program. Or as Yeshua of Nazareth said So, because you are lukewarm--neither hot nor cold--I am about to spit you out of my mouth. Herman and the Athletic Department have made too many mistakes in the last few years.
“At the end of the day, CDC should not fire Herman without his upgrade being more than guesswork.”
Is how that sentence should read Hook Em
“Pull an Auburn?” You mean fire an underperforming HC and replace him with a rock solid hire?
That's not quite the way that expression is perceived.
You and I might see it that way. What Texas sees is a situation where the school embarrassed itself in public in many fashions, only to end up spending tens of millions so that it could land a solid hire that is less proven than the hire it had in a lot of ways.
Typical Texas. You know who the only people concerned with the optics of the Auburn search are Texas folks. Meanwhile, Harsin and Auburn are full speed ahead while Texas is trying to figure out how to get a little bit pregnant.
Not surprising. CDC is not a guy who really desires to fire a HC. I'm sure he has spent the last couple of weeks or so selling Mensa and '21 to whomever.
LOL. Texas literally has become Lola in Copacabana.
BTW, I would also pay attention to anything @jshorn drops in the coming days.
Year 5 isn't going to show us anything different from years 1-4. Jeezus, if you are a FOUR year starting QB and still regarding as "meh" by the scouts then year 5 won't change anything appreciably.
I like Sam. A lot. However, it's time to move on. Simple as that.
Don't underestimate the weakness of CDC. Not to mention history. Of the five previous HCs we've had since DKR, FOUR of them were canned with records of 5-6, 5-6, 4-7 & 5-6. Only Mack had a winning mark when he "resigned/fired." If Mensa finishes 8-3 including a 4th straight bowl win, rest assured that's something CDC is going to be selling as much as possible to people.
There's no doubt Thompson will leave. Particularly since he apparently is set to graduate after just 3 years.
Kansas or not, he showed out well as a true frosh. FWIW, I don't trust the people in the program for sh*t. So there's that.
Christian Jones being the projected left tackle from those behind the scenes was a pauser for me, but you may be right.
One of the trainers for Chris Johnson Hoops is a a guy by the name of Cory Smith. Played at Concordia. My kid trained with him for a time at WAYA as part of TJ Ford Austin. Great guy.
Is this the most ZFG this fan base has ever been about a bowl game?
Christian Jones being the projected left tackle from those behind the scenes was a pauser for me, but you may be right.
Impressed you had a Hall and Oates list. IMO, Maneater is a bit high for my taste. Understand it was a massive hit but give me She's Gone every day over Maneater. Kiss On My List also (too low). BTW, have you ever done a Bee Gees list? If you haven't seen their documentary (How can you mend a broken heart) currently on HBO then you should run.
LOL. At some point there's only so much a department gofer can do when your program isn't sh*t.
