Have you heard that Herman indeed has his eyes on the Texas job? It's mentioned often on this board, but how factual is it?
Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (The ice is as thin as it gets)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
I think Houston will try it's best to hold on to Major. He's learned the system and I think they'll want to stay with that offensive philosophy.
Yes, if he's not the replacement for Herman at UH. JMO.
Of course not, but I feel like it's a recruiting failure if Texas is unable to land one of the three.
It certainly helps to have a good defensive line. Their secondary is also pretty good.
Mind your own beeswax. Ketch doesn't need more minions.
I didn't phrase it well but I meant changes to the AD hire since it seems pretty certain we will be hiring at the end of the season.
Enough excuses. Texas should have the talent to be able to field good defense against teams like California and Oklahoma state. Those two teams aren't exactly loaded with great talent.
Why doesn't Texas have a pair of good defensive ends?
I can't answer the question for you, because Strong hasn't done a very good job of recruiting defensive lineman. Yes, he signed some very good defensive lineman last year, but it was to late.
Don't get your panties twisted. It was covered.Mind your own beeswax. Ketch doesn't need more minions.

Well...to be fair, Chavis primary responsibility is defense. Not HC and Defense. That being said, it's on CS's shoulders this weekend. Before you blow your gasket, I'm of the assumption it's probably over for CS but to show you how Fenves thinks you've made your move and told Strong he needs to take charge of this defense and Strong responds with I'm taking over. Then you're Fenves remember, you're going to sit back and see if your 5 Million dollar a year guy that has connected with the state in recruiting can do it. Say he comes out and hold OU to 10 and Texas puts up 35ish. Then you're the smartest president in the world. Then say he continues to succeed and we win out. Guess what, Strong is your guy. That's how Fenves thinks. How do I know? Well I just know. What do think is going to happen at this point? I really have no idea, I have been totally surprised all year at this defense.
But if you do bring in Herman who can get a lot out of current talent like he did at Houston then you have a talent pool good enough for at least one year to get great results to reload in 2018 if there is a recruiting fall off. It always comes back to Herman doesn't it.
What penalty? I didn't see the entire game I was in a Ortho conference all weekend and trying to watch the game on my phone.
Agreed. I was implying Chavis' job is made more easier when you have Garrett and Hall coming off the edge.
A&M is going to look dramatically different next year. I doubt Garrett and Hall are there, Plus you lose Knight.
I just dont see how you let this great OC go since Texas finally has things going well.
If that is the case then fire Stong now and let the OC be the intern HC the rest of the season and fire the Bedford to go with him.
Would a Herman hire hurt or help recruiting? Could we land some big time names? I would love if his stud DT would transfer over lol. I would think we could still land top guys and keep our own. The Stong players still here would stay.
… Texas ranks last in the Big 12 in scoring defense, last in pass defense efficiency, last inturnovers created and eighth inpassing defenseThis is usually when I would say in major trauma's "You're gonna want to fix that"
Kid has a gift in that he throws on the deep balls are almost always dimes yet it was nonexistent Saturday. Such a shame
