Read my post above. I said OL is number 1 need. Indiana also didn’t play 5 top 12-15 teams. My difference in opinion is that I think our WRs are mid and not championship level.

I remember that game well. Little did we realize that Mack would soon come to Austin to take over.

I'll add that we already have a dynamic WR on the roster that just needs to be consistent.

No doubt. Woodson’s wait has been a travesty.

Not being mean, what exactly do we have different opinions on? Our Offensive line, running game and pass blocking was our weakness on offense. Do you disagree? If we agree on that, then we agree we should shore up the OL and RB room as priority. LB would follow as we lost two big contributors. We have lost one receiver, with someone ready to step up. WR is a luxury in the portal this year, not a priority. If you get a good one, great but I wouldn't be chasing stars at the expense of signing better priority needs. Ever heard of Cost, Benefit Analysis? I'm looking for bang for the buck, sustainable models. This is a business, it needs to be treated as such. Look how Indiana got where they are. You can laugh and say we aren't them, you would be right. They are better, they are where we want to be and should be.

WR is an extreme need. This is where my pushback is. Our WRs are extremely mid and even Bobby says WR is a need. I am aware OL is likely need number 1. However, if you want to maximize Arch you also need legit WRs. Sark has also only won win with round 1/2 WRs. We might have a day 2 pick (just maybe in Wingo) Until he proves he can be Kirby Smart, then give him all the weapons we need for both Sark and Arch

If there's a position for Texas to look at that aren't P4 or even FBS, it's kickers/punters. Went 3 of 5 in 2024. Hit from 54 and 51. Missed from 57 and 51. Went 16 of 18 this season. Hit another from 54yds. Finished 4th in FG% in FCS.

This got brought up in another thread, but Priest's three-year NFL run (2001-03) is as good as any running back in history. There's no telling how different his career would've gone if his body hadn't let him down.

We have different opinions. I’ve said what I believe and even some of the mods said better WRs likely leads to more wins. Coleman would be great but I’d also be happy with a guy like Singleton, Williams, TJ Moore, Marsh, etc. We have one WR where teams have to game plan for (and he is extremely inconsistent). Two changes a lot.

Thirty-one years ago today, Priest Holmes scored four touchdowns for the Longhorns in a 35-31 win in the Sun Bowl over a North Carolina team coached by Mack Brown.

A good IOL and running back would have had a better chance of changing the outcome. Once again, Our issues this season weren't associated with WR unless they were trying to block.

Coleman also tries to play hero ball instead of going out of bounds and fumbled the game away vs alabama.. so hes prone to game losing plays as well. Not like hes perfect. I think all of us would love coleman in a vacuum, in a no cost world or in an unlimited resources world. The pushback you are getting on coleman is purely due to WR seeming like a want (WR/DB) rather than a need (RB, OL, LB). so if they can make both work without sacrificing needs for wants, go for it. Just seems like we are being primed for a "you can't get everything" world, despite some taking "All in" to be an unlimited funds.

You mean like how he fumbled the game away against Alabama?

It's also harder for safeties, for whatever reason, to get in early. The fact that Darren Woodson has had to wait this long is absurd.

People were stacking the box to attack our weakness, the OL. It had absolutely nothing to do with our WRs not getting open. Guys were running free all year, early in the season Arch couldn't get it within 5 yards of open receivers. Go see the first play of the season as an easy example. Are you representing Cam Coleman? Sure reads like it. The juice ain't worth the squeeze. That money is better spent elsewhere. Ask Oregon about big money receivers and injuries.

There are some real scumbags in the HoF. Earl definitely fits that bill, but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve the professional accolades. Seems like selective punishment.

I know the off-field stuff is the last impression a lot of people have of Earl. Still, he should be in the HOF.

I understand that WR was not necessarily the root issue of those games. OL was also struggling because teams could stack the box because our WRs couldn’t get consistent separation or win 50/50 balls. Coleman would have changed the outcome of one of those games.

How many wins did he deliver to Auburn?

WR wasn’t the root issue in any of those three games (although we did have multiple drops vs Georgia). I’d argue the money Coleman would demand put towards OL gets you the Ohio State and Florida game. We failed to convert at the goal line vs OSU and Floridas D line destroyed us

Earl was a semifinalist, but he wasn't one of the 15 finalists selected for possible induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2026. Darren Woodson was the only defensive back to make the cut. Earl and Rodney Harrison will have to wait until 2027.

Well even the mods here agree that a better WR for likely gets us 1-2 more wins. Ohio State or Florida. Picture having to guard Wingo and Coleman. That opens up a lot

Which one of our 3 losses do you think solely adding Coleman would help us win? We had opportunities vs Ohio State but Arch couldn’t hit receivers, Florida we got mauled in the trenches and burned on defense, Georgia was a blowout.

This has my attention.

Auburn mods are speculating that Eric Singleton could portal again. Wonder if we’ll take another shot at him? Would be cheaper than Coleman and bring a speedy WR to the roster
