    Great discussion, but can’t believe all three of y’all confused the 2006 team with 2007. 2006 six was championship caliber with the exception of freshman colt at qb. But both lines and many skill positions were stout. We went on a run after the Ohio St loss only to falter after Colt got knocked out of KSU and A&M games. Maybe would have missed the playoff but only due to Colt’s injury. Definitely a good team to be proud of. 07 was the disaster with nailbiters against Arkansas St and UCF. Defense was terrible and the offense inconsistent despite JamChuck’s brilliance. Even John Chiles got some legit snaps at qb. The only good thing about this season was Macduff getting fired so that Muschamp could be brought in for the 08-09 run. Good topic, fun discussion.

    Hi OTF, Would it be possible to spend some time and do a deep dive on all the new network deals and conference affiliations? I know CBS will no longer do the SEC game of the week and Fox will now have a Friday night game. It would be great to get a sense of where all of the games will appear and be slotted. (IE the SEC #1 will go on abc primetime, SEC #2 ESPN 11am, BIG 10 #1 CBS 230, or whatever the case may be). Might be good off season content, especially during the dog days of summer. And if anyone has a great article that outlines all of this, please share!

    Our shaky middle relief and unreliable closer make up for it though.

    Great series win 🤘 Much rather have Pierce than the other hot names that were mentioned upon his hire like Tadlock and Schlossnagle. Please bring up their sterling cws records.

    I’m with Gerry on the DT position. Sure it will take a step back and is an area of needed development but we can work around it. If those guys were the best duo since Hampton/Rodgers, guess what, we have had a lot of experience playing without that type production and have been able to field some pretty good Defenses on the whole. Definitely need to coach up the guys there and scheme around potential deficiencies. As for Sydir, I’m not looking for him to dominate in 2024. But what I want to hear is that he looks like he could dominate in 2025. If he is making those steps he’ll provide the quality snaps we need this year. We need to stop comparing (contrasting) the 2024 guys with Sweat/Murphy and evaluate them against what is needed for the D to be conference/national championship contenders.

    Yes.

    I’m not as strident as you on this issue, but definitely leaning in this direction. From an overall roster management and development perspective it makes sense. Just don’t go too far in one direction.

    Cue up Wes Anderson and Eli Wallach while we’re at it. Wait, Wallach is probably no longer with us.

    That criminal charges were not pursued seems quite irrelevant to me. Everyone agrees on the basic facts of the case and they’re not good in the best of light. Programs evaluate, downgraded, and back off recruitments for character related issues all the time, very few of which have anything to do with criminality. Sark has tirelessly worked to build and maintain a strong culture with high character kids. This incident is obviously a bright red flag.

    Also of note for HCU, Lance Berkman is their Head Coach.

    I really enjoyed Coach Erwin during the season. Great to hear from him today.

    Thanks for doing this whole series. One LB question I’ve had is around the utilization of a Strongside LB. We obviously play with two LBs and that means the Sam comes off the field. A few Xs and Os questions come to mind. When and where do we utilize the Sam? When the SLB is on the field what is our alignment and other personnel grouping? What is the value of a SLB in PKs defense. And if we had a great Sam how would he be utilized (think, what if jett bush or mo blackwell were all conference level performers). Would we try to fit them into a mlb/wlb role in lieu of playing three linebackers more often? Maybe something for a future Football Theory episode, but any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Hi @Gerry Hamilton, You’ve said a number of times the Texas staff will continue to evaluate a number of 2025 guys between now and June. What exactly are they evaluating? Are they taking a closer look at 2024 game tape, are the prospects attending camps in the spring, or is it the personnel visits and conversations they are evaluating? Or something else?

    Most edgy/nasty. The enforcers. The guys you wouldn’t want to meet in a dark alley or who you would want to make sure were on your side in a street fight. A similar but not synonymous category would be highest motor. *Edit. I see the “toughest” category now which probably covers this.

    Great job guys, congrats on continuing to grow. Can we expect a reoccurring OTF baseball show during the season @Blake Munroe?? Please, please, please….
