    I don't trust Texas to do anything right regarding the OL. Not while Flood is here. I don't know anyone stealing more money than that guy. He is OC in name only: doesn't call plays, or install his own

    Was huge for Oregon State to do that but every agent I've talked to thinks none of that will matter if JaMarcus Shephard leaves for a job this offseason, which is very possible

  • Depends on what the new OL coach wants and who he can bring with him.

@Hank South I know I have seen some things on twitter regarding this, but do we think that arch is likely to return to austin next year?

Hey guys I think @SuperDave0805 would like a center but might be just a wild guess

Haha that happens to me too.

If he stays at the pace he's at I think he's a first rounder.

Would he want to hit the NFL knowing he could develop further?

Good stuff @Bobby Burton

Another key off season question…

Will Sark make the move to upgrade the OL by replacing Flood?

PK was replaced (though he didn’t display any grievous shortcomings) in an effort to produce an elite defense - mission accomplished.

For two years we have seen too many negative gains in the running game, too many times had our QB running for his life, and witnessed unresolved OL issues continuing through most of the season.

This type of performance doesn’t seem like the best way to attract and retain elite skill players on offense. OR win national championships.

This off season it seems like it is time to go to the “coaching portal” for a new OL coach.

That seems like the prudent move - or am I missing something?

Herb Hand, for starters. 🤦🏿

We need Septic to return as well

Hah! Seppo is what Aussies call Americans. Seppo = Septic Tank = Yank. Don't look for too much logic.

We need to bring in at least 4 OL starters

We don’t have ANY above average players coming back next year

None. Nada. Zip.

No kidding! Biles would have some preseason Heisman odds lol.

If Biles doesn't go pro, something horrible has happened.

Thanks Hank!

Dang, more than I thought, and there are some (Spetic, for example, gimme my solid kicker so I don't have to worry about it) that I really want back.

That would be marvelous - good player, great leader.

We hear that from Sark and that’s good and well, but his feet are not consistently positioned well when he makes the catch. The tape shows it when both Arch and KJ throw the ball to him.

He is a baller any way you slice it. He needs to improve on his blocking.

The ones that were listed to get back would be Smothers, Gefridge, Mascoe and Cryer. Those are about the only realistic ones. Guys like Biles are likely going to be high draft picks. Maybe Mascoe tries his hand, same with Gefridge.

My take is you need to figure out your G, C, G through the portal because no one Flood has developed there has turned out well.

You could go the WR route but should we not trust some of the guys we've spent money on already? Unless it's an actual top tier pick I'm not sure it's worth it, imo.

TE is a need. Townsend is good but injury prone, Winston is okay but he's more of a tweener. Shannon has the size but he's not going to magically have a great 5th year. Masunas coming back would be great but he's not a real threat in the passing game.

Potentially some S help. Even CB if there is one there.

LB you could grab one but I'm not sure if they want to if Cryer comes back and you have Okpala and Cummings. Maybe Atkinson figures it out?

Definitely need a better P. Getting Spetic back would be huuuuge. Been a nice surprise this year.

I was going to say RB, if Smothers decides to go pro. But I like Cooper/Terry combination (personally) but there are some good options out there. Really like the RB out of Duke but that's just dreaming not reality.

Not sure they need to go after Edge/DT. Really like those rooms but if an elite talent shows up.....

Texas has history of bringing back , developing

Byron Murphy- gonna sign upwards $80,000 contract this next yr

If Byron Murphy signs an $80K contract then he has the worst agent in the history of pro sports lol. (Also the contract would be rejected by the league because the min salary is several times greater that that)

Pretty sure you left off some zeros my friend, probably more like $80 million for 3 years? Something like that?
