He’s just a ball coach. And a very good one at that.

He reminds me of Gary Patterson. He can flat out coach.

It may be Texas State but that will be a good first test for this defense.

Great guy. Tough that he took a job where it’s almost impossible to win and it will probably be his last year.

But he should get a nice P4 position coach job and is only 36 so plenty of time to work his way back up.

It’s a good philosophy to have, much cheaper retaining talent than acquiring it.

Especially premium positions. Quarterbacks, left tackles and pass rushers specifically. Those guys aren’t cheap in the portal.

Rhett Lashlee advises Texas HS coaches to “insert” themselves into their player’s recruitments. Says that the state of Texas doesn’t better than anyone. 

Fritz also talked about the dangers of too many people in recruits ears. Encouraged coaches to be a bigger part of that as well. 

[Blake Munroe]

Lashlee tells the coaches here that the state of Texas will bring home national championships. 

Then says “let us keep our best players home in this state”

That’s because all his good players entered the NFL draft, and nobody was interested in the rest of the roster.

[Blake Munroe]

Sark is asked about five for five

”I think the five for five is something we all pushed for…. It gives us an opportunity to recruit more developmental players.”

[Blake Munroe]

Sark says the uptick in HS recruiting is coming. 

“We are going to hit this cycle where it’s going to become normal again.”
