Pretty sure Arch wasn’t really running anything his freshman year in 2023 lol. He only played in 2 games his freshman redshirt year.

The coaches at the top of the list do not come as a surprise https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-coaches-vs-ap-top-25-power-four/

It's Jeff Fisher's way or the highway. And Jeff Fisher is a .500 coach.

Again you show lack of knowledge last year was Arch’s 3rd year of install of Sark’s system, weight training, running the offense.

Justin Wise committed to UGA today, he still gonna visit for TXST game or is that recruitment over @Gerry Hamilton

Cool story, but it doesn’t change a damn thing. Redshirt sophomore doesn’t magically erase the fact he still needed weight, timing, and full Sark install before you throw him into garbage‑time clown snaps. Acting like “redshirt sophomore” means he was secretly a finished product is exactly why film‑bro takes sound like they’re coming from someone who learned football off Madden loading screens. Arch wasn’t ready for chaos reps, and Sark wasn’t about to stunt his development so a YouTube guy --- or you --- could pretend it means something. Texas protected him because they actually understand QB development. The film guy doesn’t. And clearly, neither do you.

This is not correct. Not sure if you misquoted or if someone else misstated. I believe the 8% to be legitimate but not the 5%.

This is essentially the replacement for Shawn Eichorst who left to be AD at Wisconsin. There will be some slight reshuffling in the AD office overall along with it.

Oh I completely agree, but there were some games where the rest of the team was afraid while Weaver played with confidence. Vs. Tennessee for example. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/boxscore/_/gameId/401638619 He does have heart as a player, but I get why we went a different direction given the offensive ineptitude.

its still crazy... even then can barely field a team 🤘

Interesting, this isn't what Brooks was saying DURING last season...

They have 4-5 guys waiting on eligibility rulings

A highly respected veteran administrator with extensive Southeastern Conference experience and a law degree from The University of Texas, Lynda Tealer is joining Chris Del Conte's Texas Athletics executive leadership team as Deputy Athletics Director for Strategic Initiatives and Administration. A former collegiate student-athlete, Tealer comes to Texas after serving the past two years as the NCAA's Senior Vice President of Championships. Tealer will officially begin her role at Texas on September 1. "Lynda is incredible. She brings a breadth of experience and expertise, along with a wealth of knowledge, to our athletics department, and on top of all that, she's a Longhorn," said UT Vice President and Lois and Richard Folger Athletics Director Chris Del Conte. "When we began looking to fill this role, Lynda's name came up time and time again. She checked every box for what we were looking for and was an absolute home run hire. Her experience as a former student-athlete gives her a unique perspective as an athletics administrator, she's one of our own as a UT Law School graduate, and her legal background is invaluable in this role. She's someone I've always admired. She has a passion for college athletics, is deeply respected by student-athletes, coaches and administrators across the country, and has a proven ability to build relationships and collaborate across campus. That makes her a perfect fit for our executive team. I'm thrilled to welcome Lynda back to the Forty Acres and excited for the impact she'll have on Texas Athletics." "This is a genuinely unique opportunity for me to finish my career where it all began," Tealer said. "My time in Law School at Texas was such an important launching point professionally. While I didn't have much experience at that time, I knew I wanted to be involved in college athletics, and Texas is where I fell in love with the industry. To have the opportunity to come back and contribute to this university at this stage of my career is special. Not many people get the chance to return to the place that helped shape their professional journey, and I don't take that for granted. It's truly a dream come true, and I'm so grateful to Chris Del Conte for giving me this wonderful opportunity." Since May of 2024 at the NCAA, Tealer oversaw 84 NCAA championships, including functions in event operations, media coordination and statistics, playing rules, ticket operations and marketing, merchandise and licensing, and social and digital media. In her role with the NCAA and at championship events at Florida before that, Tealer was able to get to know Del Conte and his leadership style as well. "I've had the opportunity to get to know Chris over the years at championship events," she added. "He's obviously a tremendous leader who has built one of the premier athletics departments in the country, but what excites me most is the opportunity to work with and for someone who genuinely cares about student-athletes, coaches and the future of college athletics. He leads in a way that brings people together, creates alignment and reminds everyone that relationships matter. That approach is especially meaningful in today's environment. I appreciate his perspective on our industry, the way he treats people and his vision for the future of college athletics. There are certainly challenges and difficult issues we face, but at the end of the day this should still be fun. Building relationships and enjoying the process and the people you work with matters, and that's a priority for Chris and his staff." Prior to her time at the NCAA, Tealer spent 29 years in college athletic administration, 21 of those in the SEC at Florida. With the Gators, she served as deputy athletics director and oversaw the university's women's programs plus men's basketball. Tealer began her career at Florida as a senior administrator in 2003 before spending more than a decade as deputy athletics director while also serving as a University Athletic Association board member and the athletics department's deputy Title IX coordinator. Before her 21 years at Florida, Tealer worked for current SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey as associate commissioner of the Southland Conference from 2000-03. She served as assistant athletics director at Santa Clara from 1995-2000. "I'm excited to be back in the SEC," Tealer added. "Greg Sankey is a tremendous leader and a personal friend. I had the opportunity to work with him at the Southland Conference and again during my time at Florida, and I'm looking forward to doing so once more. I'm also excited to reconnect with so many outstanding leaders and administrators across the SEC. It's a group that is always focused on doing what's best for the conference and its student-athletes, and I look forward to collaborating with them again." Tealer has served in several leadership positions in the NCAA governance structure, including as chair of the Division I Council and as a member of the Division I Board of Directors and NCAA Board of Governors. She served on the council's Competition Oversight Committee, NIL Working Group and Council Coordination Committee. She also held roles on the Division I Transformation Committee and the Southeastern Conference/ESPN Content Board. A former college basketball player, Tealer received her bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of San Diego in 1992. She earned her law degree from The University of Texas in 1995. Her time on the Forty Acres was very impactful as Tealer set out on a career in collegiate athletics. "I'll be forever grateful to DeLoss Dodds," Tealer said. "When I was in law school at Texas, he took time to meet with me to talk about college athletics and introduced me to so many people throughout the department. That opened the door for me to spend time learning so many aspects of the operation. I visited with people, asked tons of questions, answered phones in the Longhorn Foundation and volunteered whenever I could. Coming from a small private college where I played basketball, I really didn't understand what athletics administration was or the many roles people played in supporting student-athletes and coaches. Texas is where I was exposed to the inner workings of a major athletics department and saw firsthand the dedication of the people who worked tirelessly behind the scenes. That's where I fell in love with the business of college athletics, and it all started because of the kindness, mentorship and support DeLoss gave me. The impact he had on my life and career is something I'll always be grateful for."

Where are they going to go with that money? What meat is left on the bone? Is international close to being the only option?

It’s a little bit of both, the Oline especially in the first 5-6 games were TERRIBLE. Those boys couldn’t even get a solid push against UTEP. The Oline and WR core as well never really helped Arch grow up, he had to do it himself. I do agree with the whole arch had his own struggle cause he did, but our WRS and OL ended up being more of a detriment to the season than Arch. It’s gotta be better this year Arch too but that OL has to take the biggest jump this year.

Arch was a red shirt sophomore, so stop with the lack of knowledge crap!

Assignment soundness didn't seem to be a concern in the previous 3 years with a more veteran line, which we have again this year. Perhaps it was a one-off. We will find out.

It's the OL missing assignments that concern me. That feels like coaching, and I worry that hasn't changed. Arch got healthy, new WRs, more time spent together, new OLs, all these transformed bodies, but did Flood get better? I have been a Flood supporter, but honestly and sincerely, I am starting to doubt.

LMAO.... The “Texas failed Arch” take is peak August desperation from a dude who needs clicks like oxygen. Arch was a true freshman who needed weight, timing, and Sark’s install --- not tossed into garbage‑time clown snaps so some YouTube film bro could pause clips and pretend he’s uncovering state secrets. This is the same guy who watches three plays, declares himself a QB guru, and somehow still manages to misunderstand all three. Texas didn’t fail Arch. Texas protected him. The film guy needed clicks, a headline, and maybe a helmet so he stops injuring himself with his own analysis.

Interesting video title when one of the first clips he shows is Arch missing Wingo from 5 yards away from a perfectly clean pocket and he talks for 2 minutes about how many easy throws Arch missed the whole season. But I guess the title "Arch had his own struggles and Texas failed to support him at times" doesn't quite get the clicks that "TEXAS FAILED ARCH" does.

He’s not wrong. You have a generational QB on your bench for 2 years and you give him one of the worst O lines in the country when he finally gets the starting job. This year is Sark and Floods chance to make up for that.
