watty7796 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 No disrespect to Bo Davis, I believe his Bus tirade was the turning point for Texas football, however he left the cupboard mostly bare so my question is.....How, with Texas vast resources are we competing with Bo for recruits seeing as he didn't do great recruiting while he was at UT, Development is another story altogether, but recruiting was not great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbailey Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I like having Bo on staff and thought his development of players was great. Coburn, Ojomo, Sweat, and Murphy all raved about him. That being said he did leave a hole in the roster. LSU is a strong program so he still has a lot to offer despite not being at Texas. I hope Kenny Baker is a great replacement but Bo has more skins on the wall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NothinButDaHorns34 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 You just answered your own question. Bo’s ability to develop is second to none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40acres Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 (edited) Define development. Because to me the difference between Sweat and Coburns early years and their final was nothing more than finally giving max effort in their contract year. Murphy always had great effort. What skills did you see them develop that they did not have when they arrived that can support a statement like "second to none"? Maybe I don't know what to look for but I'd give more credit to the S&C coach than I would BD. Edited June 27 by 40acres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atxdubstep Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Recruits needed to see the development more than just 1 year. After the last 2 years of draft, they have seen the consistency of development. If he had stayed at Texas this year, he would be getting the same recruits. Imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiKnight Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I think the reason we are competing with Bo is largely perception. It looks like Sweat and Murphy went BOOM in their final year and became 1st and 2nd round picks, were consider the best tandem on DTs in the country and are now millionaires. And he is a firey coach that is well-liked. That perception is gold right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
