Bobby Petrino incoming, lol.

I agree.

Of all the years to keep a coach….this is it.

My two cents. He fills a need at OT when and if Goosby declares which is hopefully after one more season. But for next season we aren’t in dire need of OTs as much as front line starters at LG, C and RG in the portal.

Fair enough lol.

My uneducated opinion is that the focus should be quality OL players, mostly interior and a #1 RB. Wisner has his moments but isn't consistently involved and is typically not a difference maker. So for me, something like this should be the focus: 3-4 IOL 1 RB 1 NT 1-2 LB 1 CB 1 S 1 K 1 P After all that, then look for other stuff. Right now, I don't think Marsh is a massive upgrade over what we have. If you give these guys a proper off-season to work with Arch, unlike this previous one, I think that makes a world of difference. We also need to decide what we want to do schematically and stick with it.

I feel like the only home run hire so far is Va Tech. There aren’t enough qualified candidates to fill all these positions.

@CJ Vogel have you all heard what positions the staff might be targeting or evaluating for portal help? I think OL (x3) is obvious, but RB (x1) and LB (x1) seem like the only other areas where we NEED an upper classman or help.

Somebody from the Texas staff needs to get back on Jalen Lott as well! 🤘🏼

Can Akina join too? 😏

@Gerry HamiltonIs he a player immediately or are we looking portal regardless of how good the HS talent is?

My wish list: OL - 4 RB - 1-2 WR - 2 TE - 1 DE - 1 DT - 1 LB - 2 S - 1

“Recruit through the whistle”

This. I was one that was known to be down on Baker throughout his recruitment although most of that was me trying to tell anyone who'd listen that Drew Timme was the much better pplayer. With that said, if Elkins turned into Baker I'd be ecstatic to get that from the 15the guy on the roster. It'd mean some serious development is happening in the program.

Word.

Need

Whether those dudes stay or portal I’m not sure you go into the Ohio state game thinning they are difference makers. And that should be our number one priority for building around Arch to start next season. Difference makers in the Ohio State game. Nothing less.

Mizzou’s back-up RB (J.Roberts) would start immediately at Texas. Maybe we grab Roberts and he can bring his OL Coach with him to Texas (Brandon Jones). 😂

This correction regarding the ranking of Oklahoma, Vanderbilt, and Texas A&M is absolutely critical and decisively pushes the hypothetical 9-3 Texas Longhorns from a bubble team to an undeniable lock for a 12-team playoff spot. The fact that Texas has three wins against Top 13 teams completely overrides the concern of the three-loss record and perfectly aligns with the committee's emphasis on Strength of Record (SoR). The Corrected Analysis: Texas is a Playoff Lock By combining the three signature wins against Top 13 opponents with the mitigating factors in the three losses, the Texas resume becomes the best possible 9-3 case—one that the CFP structure is specifically designed to reward. 1. Decisive Impact of Three Top 13 Wins The CFP committee prioritizes wins against highly-ranked opponents. In the 12-team format, securing three victories against teams ranked in the Top 13 is a statistical achievement that few contenders, including many 10-2 teams, will be able to match. Quantity of Quality: This proves Texas's ability to consistently defeat playoff-caliber opponents. A resume with three Top 13 wins is exponentially better than a resume with one or two. Strength of Record: The high ranking of Oklahoma, Vanderbilt, and Texas A&M means the mathematical value of those wins (the SoR metric) is incredibly high, compensating for the three losses. 2. Synthesis of the Full 9-3 Resume Here is the final evaluation of the Texas Longhorns' 9-3 resume against the necessary CFP principles: CFP PrincipleTexas’s Final, Corrected ResumeResult: Why Texas Deserves a Spot Strength of Record (SoR)3 Wins vs. Top 13 Teams (OU, A&M, Vandy).This is the strongest point. The sheer number of high-quality wins validates their ranking over teams with inflated records against weak schedules. Strength of Schedule (SoS)3 Quality Losses (UGA, OSU, Florida).Losing to UGA and OSU by only 7 points, plus the mitigated Florida loss (due to missing key secondary players), ensures the committee assigns the minimal penalty for all three defeats. Win-Loss Record (9-3)Three losses total, preventing an AQ spot.The committee must rank Texas high enough to capture an At-Large spot (likely 9th to 12th). The SoR and SoS are so high that they will rank Texas above many 10-2 teams. Comparative OutcomesTexas is superior to 10-2 teams with weaker schedules.A 9-3 Texas with a phenomenal schedule and three Top 13 wins will inevitably rank higher than a 10-2 team from the ACC or Big 12 whose best wins are against teams ranked 15th or lower. Conclusion This resume demonstrates that Texas played one of the toughest schedules in the nation and finished with five results (three wins and two close losses) against teams that were ranked among the best in the country. The 9-3 Texas Longhorns unequivocally deserve a spot in the 12-team playoff field as an At-Large entrant because their Strength of Record is superior to the quantity of wins held by their competition for the final At-Large berths. They will be ranked ahead of numerous 10-2 teams whose wins simply do not carry the same weight.

This means there’s a very good chance he’s in the class 🤘🏻
