Is he mean and nasty? 😂 sounds weird

Can he be a short yardage back too?

I thought a lot about that, too. I tried to remove recency bias of his last few years where the team got soft. If I look at the number of NFL players that were on the early to mid 2000s teams, the recruiting was good but those players who stuck around 3 or 4 years got better and played on Sundays.

Well, can people stop wiith the BS rumors already?

Player Development under Mack Brown would not be a B+ in my opinion. lower

Hey you leave my coach Franklin 2.0 alone

I have been hearing and thinking about the travels of Lane's family and he has been around a bit. He has Ole Miss working and is the son of a legendary coach in Monte. Here begins what I do not understand. Why is he the top candidate for so many searches? He has a longer history that is neutral or bad- Tenn, USC, the Raiders to name a few.... But he was a Saban rehab project (so is Sark, but when we hired him there were not schools and NFL teams clamoring for him, although Lane had 2 stops as a HC between the 2 events) Here is where that thinking took me- coach rankings based on some categories. These are my impressions and and totally subject to my biases (which I lay out some below). But it also made me think about James Franklin and Sark. Penn St knew who Franklin was. I do not know if there is someone ready to be better. So I decided to rank some known current coaches and some Championship winners to try to keep in context Sark is a great coach (I am no Sark hater, so I continue to root for him) and the number of truly great coaches that are proven and can repeat success is small. I welcome banter/ comments/ feedback or any challenge on how I rated them. My ultimate conclusion was: I would not want to be looking for a coach right now. Some assumptions: 1) Some of these coaches have long runways and some are short. I am not giving a lot of benefit of the doubt to the unproven side 2) I watch Texas religiously, and then the SEC some, and don't watch much from other conferences 3) These are gut reactions and may be a little nuanced by coordinators, schedules, etc, and are my interpretation on how i would rank them in a coaching search. (I don't claim to be right- for instance if Kirby has had more top 5 defenses than Venables) Here is my ranking list:

Can’t fault the man for looking to get a pay day and get some film on a bigger stage for the draft

I’m not sure if this is a tom Herman or Steve Sarkisian saying anymore? Maybe it’s just an offensive genius saying?

No one from Texas follows yet

Saving a year. He was a true senior.

FWIW, he played 37 snaps at RG as a true freshman at ULM against Texas in 2022. He was an opening-game starter as a true freshman.

Is this to gain another year (more money) from a P4 team?

Winning is hard

He's played in four games and has been away from the Texas State team for a couple of weeks.

one of the highest graded pass blockers

beat me to it😭

Trying to think of fun stuff to do not involving having a cold snack lol! I'd say go check out Zilker w/ Christmas lights up, wander around campus. Go to Posse East for a burger by campus. Pool Burger right on Lake Austin Blvd during the day. Definitely shop at the Coop and buy something cool. Usually have some exclusive merch. Wander around the tailgates and if your Dad is going, swing by the alumni center pregame.

Correct. Trace Armstrong (who represented Tom Herman) is Freeman's agent.

he's just down the street

Good god almighty I would hope.

Do we take a look?! 🧐

I love Wisner and Baxter but Baxter will never be what he used to be poor guy cause I loved him but that was a serious injury, Wisner has the heart and will to but he isn’t big enough we need a downhill running back period it has screwed us for the last 2 years
