Is Texas at a point now where the talent can compensate for average coaching to win 9-10 games per year?
i.e., sorta like the Mack 2000’s era

Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Two guys have really taken off this spring...)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
Burke seemed to have just made more plays, while Sorrell hasn’t seemed to progress any from previous seasons. Maybe Burke stood out more because I expected more from Sorrell and he was a disappointment sack wise.
I would much prefer a Geddy Lee situation where he's still sharp as ever but just can't hit the notes. Sigh.
Sure seems so with the influx of talent the last two years.
Having endured the end of the Mack era, Charlie, and Herman, I’d say this recent Texas football feels different.
Burke went through long stretches of the season where he disappeared. Two sacks in the first 2 games and 3.5 in the final 12 games
He needs to prove that he can be a more consistent player.
It's a top 4 roster in college football.
Interesting. 90% chance of making the CFP?
…considering the expanded playoff. If Texas has a top 4 roster, then it should be capable of stumbling into the CFP.
I would say 75%. They are behind UGA and Ohio State, but even/slightly ahead of Alabama.
I 100% agree, but he still has potential for some progression. I feel like Sorrell is who he is and Burke basically outperformed him stat wise last year.Burke went through long stretches of the season where he disappeared. Two sacks in the first 2 games and 3.5 in the final 12 games

Sorrell has...
a, Been better in games than you think.
v. Been much better this spring than you know.
I did one in january, I'll do an update after this Portal window closes.
Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Texas should make the CFP this season...)
I went down the damn rabbit hole this weekend and I can only hope the effort was worth it. Considering the final rankings for the 2024 recruiting year aren't complete and big-time players are still entering the Portal, the reality is that I'm going to need to update the data in a week or two...

Pope is an offensive genius. He actually knows X’s and O’s. Doesn’t just roll the ball out like Cal…he mentioned having a GM for NIL…college football and basketball has changed…gonna take a collaboration of both business and smart minded folks now to win big. Recruiting one and done 18 yr olds will not work anymore…
I was actually at the Florida spring game this weekend. I was actually taken a back at how relatively small and outdated the swamp was — but more so it made me be impressed with Texas set up. DKR, media team…really is the best.
All being said you can absolutely tell how it can be a hard place to play and the fans are loyal to the bone.
Also Lagway can play. Big guy!

In college, in the 70's, if we asked a girl back to our dorm room to hear an Al Green album, and she said yes, you knew it was time for the panties to come off!
Anyone thinking year 5 would magically be different than the first 4 was simple wishful thinking. Maybe it happens and I will be happy if it does but I’m just not getting any hopes up it does
Not sure any of the lb’s on your list ran a 10.96. Having said that, he has a long way to go before I think he will be in a class with Sergio and Malik.
