Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (The contract for my No.1 expires soon)

[jstempler]

Would Harbaugh bring in some boring pro style offense that doesn't fit our roster or our conference?

Hope so! Beats the hell out of the HS offenses in the Big 12.

 

[EG-man]

Your r question should be "does Harbaugh bring in a boring offense that doesn't fit our conference and a defense that locks it down and wins us a lot of games?" I don't care if the offense is boring. Can he win games? Can he get us to the promised land? His super bowl ring would make me think so.

I agree on him being really qualified! But... I do wonder how he would transition to the college level, this conference and this group of players. I'm not smart enough to know how well these offensive players could transition to a new offense ...and I cringe thinking about another change to our offense. But I have to give him the benefit of the doubt since he's won at the highest level. Bring him on, Budget be damned!

In your review of the KState game, it was all negative, and you are beating the drums for a new coach. It seems like you're trying too hard. There were some positives in the KState game, and I expect the team to rally around their coach and play hard and win going out the season. So fickle! Trying so hard to make a story!

Strong is 1-2 against OU

Herman is not just the answer but practically the perfect answer for Texas.

AMEN to this and most of our power brokers agree with you. The myopia of some of our fans is amazing.

Hook'em

I wrote about the positives.

When a team loses to one of the worst Big 12 teams, it's hard to find a ton of positives.

Getting past the cheating history (which Texas won't) the guy would be an epic disaster in dealing with the other facets of the Texas job.

He didn't even want to deal with boosters or media much at Oregon

The closet thing to a sure thing among coaches is Briles, whose oc is already on staff, has ties to Texas and is very tight with Texas High School coaches. Obviously Texas won't overlook his screw up so its hypothetical but imagine Briles with Texas resources, an offense already in place and a huge chip on his shoulder coaching Texas.

He'd be at Texas right now if Patterson had agreed to offer the job without an interview.

Go for it.

Take a look at the artist Bassnectar. He's on iTunes. If you're looking to dive into one album- go for "Into The Sun" or "Divergent Spectrum."

His music will blow your mind if you've never heard it. A lot of bass music/dubstep. He's as talented as anyone, and is way different than anyone you've posted about.

will give it a listen and get back with you.

Good deal, let me know if I can help navigate.

I'm gonna give it a listen tonight, while watching the game.

There's a lot of different levels of bass in his music so try to use some solid headphones or speakers if you can.

Poor Ketch is ignorant of the contents in the Bible.

 

[ReedRobertson]

Just read this too. He's one of the highest paid coaches in the whole NFL

Makes sense after winning a SB.

 

[ReedRobertson]

Clay Travis, a man who's no Texas fan, has stated many times he thinks Chip Kelly would KILL it here at Texas. I think he has a credible point.

I'm more open to this, because Texas might need a more proven coach than Tom Herman right not. I'm not anti Herman at all. I'd get behind that hire with excitement, but doesn't Texas need to hire a coach with more experienced success?

I think if Texas can hire any of the top 5 you listed, they ought to feel pretty solid, especially it it's any of the top 4. Herman is less experienced, but he's a detail-orientated coach, believes in physicality and know the recruiting landscape - all pluses.

A Mensa member also. Give me high IQ as a plus.

That doesn't seem like a very Christian thing to say or assume.

Thoughts?

I'm curious why Lane Kippin isn't on anyone's list. He certainly has had to learn much about being a head coach coaching under Sabin; he is a really a great offensive coach.

Assuming is what Christians are best at
