Faaaaaaack.......... this could get a lot worse, rapidly.Breaking news boo is hurt with a shoulder bruise so it looks like Sam could get the start with Heard being the backup

No you are not the only one....I think he fits this offense better and he can pass well enough to keep the defense honest.....give him 1 maybe 2 reads and if it isn't there RUN....something to wonder about.
I have to disagree with you on this. Getting points with your offense on the sideline is the difference between a good 10 win team and championship run. Our problem was the complete lack of stopping the other team from scoring.I have good news and I have bad news.
The bad news is you had three non offensive touchdowns.
I lied about the good news.
I noticed Porter out there to and I was wondering why in the world he did not throw it to him. It would have been a very short pass to him but he had room in front of him. Instead Buechele holds it and loses yards.
You are probably right but I'm not sure it says great things about Herman as a coach if we're saying he can only run a good offense with a certain type of QB.Using Greg Ward as an example, that is the kind of QB that Herman wants to fit his system. We don't have that kind of QB on scholarship yet. I think Herman will get it turned around at Texas, but its going to take a few recruiting classes to upgrade everything. We're good at DB, WR and ATH. Every other position is a position of need, especially QB, DL and OL.
Good post and exactly right.He hesitated and got stuck. The ball has to come out of his hand much quicker. On the failed 4th down, he hesitates and gets crushed. He may not have made it anyway, but he has to commit and go.
Just. Leave.You are probably right but I'm not sure it says great things about Herman as a coach if we're saying he can only run a good offense with a certain type of QB.
If we're expecting Herman to be the next great coach in college football which many do and a great offensive coach shouldn't he be able to adjust his system to fit what he has?
For example Mack won a title with Vince got to a title game with Colt. Sabah has been successful with guys like AJ macaron and now Jalen Hurts. The great coaches adjust. Many beleive Herman is that guy.
Maybe he wants to be WR.??If he fits it wouldn't he be starting?

LolYou are stuck on stupid. Stop commenting on things that you know nothing about, which is football.
Horn drummer's post has me curious. What does the part about having no film to study mean? That doesn't make sense to me. His attention to detail is way out of whack then. He needs to eat hot dogs for a while. I was shocked. I expected a beat down, but I expected Texas to do the beating.
Doesn't south Florida have a rivals board. Join there.You are probably right but I'm not sure it says great things about Herman as a coach if we're saying he can only run a good offense with a certain type of QB.

Again with the Strong love stuff. It is possible to be a Texas fan, think Strong is a good coach who wasn't a good fit and want Herman to succeed all at the same time.Doesn't south Florida have a rivals board. Join there.

The question I pose is a legitment question though that we should be talking about. No Herman doesn't have a Greg Ward Jr, Braxton Miller type that he has typically had as a QB. He does however have 2 young QBs who all the experts say have the tools to be studs. Herman is a guy who is where he is because of his mind for offense. Shouldn't we expect him to design an offense that allows one of these two guys to show their talents.? And if not then throw Heard back there. He's more the type Herman will want. Could at least win some games this year. I mean if we are waiting for him to get his QB we all better be ready to commit 3-4 years to Herman regardless of results.
For the recored. I don't hate Tom Herman. I just don't buy in to him as the solution. The only difference between he and Strong prior to coming to Texas is he was a GA at Texas and Strong wasn't. Will he be better here than Strong was? Possibly but I don't view it as the lock that others do. Ovbiously after week 1 we have a lot of the sane issues we had in November. Actually more at least Strong had the defense playing reasonably well when he took it over. Now that's back to being the disaster it was at the beginning of last year.
Every gsme thank you If you read my post I said Strong had the defense playing reasonably well when he took over the defense which if I recall correctly was after the ok state game. In fact I don't mind saying that had he taken control of the defense week 1 against ND. Strong very well may be the HC today.You must not have tuned into the Notre Dame, Cal and Oklahoma State games last year. Did you even watch any of Texas' games last year?
Yea based on LHN STORY that toured his 12K sq foot mansion, he should have rented an apartment. Really sounds like to me his spent more time decorating his house than evaluating talent. This game was embarassing! I project Merry land will not win more than 6 games.That is how bad we are.Clob....my man!...excellent post. In my opinion, the worst performing unit of the day was the coaching staff.....and it was not close...attention to detail, my ass!
Wait wut? A 12,000 sq ft mansion?Yea based on LHN STORY that toured his 12K sq foot mansion, he should have rented an apartment. Really sounds like to me his spent more time decorating his house than evaluating talent. This game was embarassing! I project Merry land will not win more than 6 games.That is how bad we are.
Great chat. I'm all with you...Wow. Lots of little things I missed during the game while I was busy throwing sh!t at the TV popped out at me today. But there was one thing, a pretty big thing that stood out. We will get to that at the end.
First: Oline. For fvcks sake guys...... I've got an AA left tackle that literally could have just pimp slapped their DE and then just laid down on him the entire game. 55 is so much better than any dlineman merry land has that it's ludicrous. Instead of just crushing the guys put infront of him, he played with them. And on the two or three occasions where he got out maneuvered, he held the guys. Stop working on your technique and maul mother fvckers! Work on your slide and kickstep in practice big guy. Right guard: holy sh!t pal..... I know rule #1 for all lineman is "don't give up the inside" but dude, when they run a twist or slant and your center clearly has the block, you ain't got to move over to him to help in A gap if there's a dude coming hard in B gap. You almost single handedly got Boo destroyed. You seem to have the footwork and punch to do your job only.... you're not doing your job. You did straight up olé blocks several times my man and one time you straight up whiffed.
TE: 87. Son, I get it. You were a wr. We fed you to make you bigger because you were too slow to be a wr. I'm going to use really tiny words from this point forward..... just for you.
When your tackle turns his head toward you and makes his call, and there's a person standing across from you, your tackle is telling you that YOU must distract the person directly infront of you.
Now---- I know it's hard to block... I get that. But the least you can do is slow the guy down, even a little. Know any good jokes? Tell the DE a good joke. Like talking politics? Ask him who he voted for. You might try spitting in his ear....that may work. Tripping is always an option. Seriously, just fling your body at his feet and roll around a bit. Anything would be better than the technique you're using now.
Holton: there is a good Holton and a bad Holton. We saw heapings of both. Dude, you had the best, worst game ever! Or is it the worst, best game ever? Hard to tell. Pro tip, allowing a wr to get behind you is normally a bad thing. Try and keep that in mind moving forward.
Malik---- dude, this ain't highschool anymore and you are no longer the best athlete on the field like you were in HS. Your misreads are now things of legends. You take more false steps than a 3 legged polka dancer. You've GOT to start coming downhill and hard! Yes, we all marvel at your lateral moves.....but you can't make tackles going sideways. It's high time for you to decide if you're a hard nosed LB or a finesse rover. Lose the dress, switch to raw meet, start addressing ppl with only grunts and snarls, get the fvck off social media (bad a$$ linebackers with bada$$ attitudes don't instagram) and start hitting people and trying to hurt them. When you tackle someone your goal should be to break every bone in the immediate area of contact. Hulk fvkcing smash, bro.
Kangaroo jack kicker: a little more air earlier please. Line drives are awesome in baseball. In case you were confused, this ain't baseball.
Chris: you want the ball 25 times a game? I know you averaged 5 yards a pop and that's cool. But start lowering your pads and you'll average 6.5. A dude that averages 6.5 gets way more touches than a dude averaging 5. You are 6 foot 3 and weigh 250lbs bud. Lean forward, hit people fall forward.....BOOM an extra 1.5 yards-- every time.
Boo: I'm shaking my head because there's no easy fix here. I can't teach you how to throw a ball harder. God gives that gift. You didn't get it. So because God didn't give you that gift you have to make up for it in other ways. You've got to get stronger bro. I mean A LOT stronger. You should LIVE in the weight room. Film studies should be conducted in the weight room while you are lifting. Multitask. Until you can stand on your toes, rock and fire that deep out with pin point accuracy, this team won't win a lot of games. Get your lower body, abs and shoulder as strong as you can. The offense depends on it. And btw, please stop that ghost hand off BS when there's an empty set. You're not fooling anyone and it's a wasted motion. Or do you have an imaginary friend lined up at rb that we need to know about?
Tom: is it still your dream job? Got some bad news for you-- anymore showings like yesterday and yes, you will be on the hot seat. Right or wrong, the natives are restless. And right now the most common phrase I'm hearing thrown around is "Charlie 2.0". Time to start out coaching guys.
Defense..................... I'm not even going to waste my breath on you. I'd ask all defensive starters into the film room, make them stand up, make them pull down their pants and prove to me they had genitals. Male ones.
What I did see that I mentioned earlier was this.........
If this were last year, this team would have packed it in after going down at 27-7. Seriously. They would have folded like they did time and time again. Tcu, ND Kansas, arkysaw, these guys kept playing. That showed me they still believed. That's the first step. Belief.
Steps 2-10 may be a bit more daunting.

On the bright side, there hasnt been much coverage at all on our piss poor showing. I guess thats the benefit of being completely irrelevant for 4yrs straight.
