That might be the factor that saves a few of the coaches on that list. I think Norvell is one of those, isn't his buyout too much?

I'd be surprised if Napier gets fired. They have a pretty good squad and a really good QB/RB combo. I'd put money on Pittman being fired. Started off well at Arky but hasn't been able to continue that trend. I don't think OU is going to have a great year but I'm not sure what it would take it fire Venables.

Man, when you got so much ahead of you, you gotta be smarter about who you hang around and what you do.

I was partial to the Vandy pimp walk they did lol. That stuff was hilarious.

No one complained when they could come into Texas and poach whatever they wanted. Now that we do the same, it's the worst thing ever lol.

He was offered a deal but no one actually knows the full amount. Speculation was that it was 8 million. But there is no way to know.

Damn they couldn't use a better photo of him? Lol.

Can I just say, last years DL class and this years DL class has me giddy so far. Coach Baker was such a great pick from Sark, even though most of us were pretty skeptical, in just a short time he's already recruited at a higher level than Coach Davis. Eventually we won't have to rebuild the room constantly in the portal. No intended shade at Coach Davis, but his recruiting left a lot to be desired. Great flip for Texas.

Honestly seeing and hearing how he performed at that camp prior to his commitment to Tech, was surprising and concerning.

I'm impressed that the Tech boosters are spending so much money on their team. Hope it pays off for them.

So they would offer 12 million for a QB coach.....this makes no sense, lol. Especially when your head coach is Steve Sarkiasian...

I'd honestly be surprised if Texas lost out here. But that's just my opinion.

So what you're telling me is he'll land at A&M...lol. Just kidding. I saw this kid kick the crap out of our Permian boys last year in the playoffs. Pretty sure that was him driving our poor LB 20 yards downfield lol. He's one heck of a player, I can't imagine what a monster he'll be at the collegiate level.

I like the commercials/ad's they do. It helps keep things a float, for the quality they deliver and I personally find them funny, especially Gerry's ones, lol.

Anybody who picks A&M over us is somebody worth avoiding, lol. Serious note, wish the kid all the best and hope it works out for him.

This team fell apart when the games mattered. Not trying to hate, just telling the truth.

Recruiting is even more volatile now, especially with NIL deals factoring in. Though I do hope the young man realizes that taxes are quite high in Cali, so if they are throwing that kind of serious money around, you need to factor in your taxes. Now, as for him going to USC, well I don't get it outside of the money angle. If that's all it is, I don't think the commit will stick. I'd say with 90% certainty that this staff sticks on him to get him to flip.

I don't disagree with you, watched him quite a bit at Westlake and he was a baller there. If he has another great year, I could also potentially see him going #1. Depends on who needs a QB in the next draft and what you're willing to trade, etc.

Leavitt is pretty good, but I'm not sure he's all that. Struggles as a passer, won't have a great RB to take the edge off himself. I think the game with ASU was a lot closer than it probably should've been but we'll see how it goes. As for Klubnik, he had a rough start to his college career, but he's come a long quite a bit. We'll see how he goes this year. For Arch, I think the talent is obvious, even in the small sample sizes we saw. He'll have some lumps early on but now that he is the clear guy, he'll improve leaps and bounds, imo. I also agree with Gerry about Sellers, great QB but I'm not sure they have the guys around him to maximize his talent. Which would be unfortunate.

I think it is, there is talent in that room. It'll be up to Baker to make it work.

Don't look down on the DT room, I think they can get to a really good place. Some good additions over the off-season to help fill in a room that was bare outside of the guys already there, in part because of Davis. I've been impressed with what Baker has done with the room in just 1 recruiting cycle.

So, the teams he'll be playing are much tougher than anything WSU played. Not only that, his OL doesn't look all that impressive and he's having to build a new rapport with his receivers. Not saying they can't be good, I just don't see where all the excitement is coming from for them. Even defensively, they lost a lot of key pieces. But I see where you're coming from.

Eh, I don't get all the hype. New system, new players and new playcaller, etc. I'm sure they'll be improved offensively, but didn't they lose a crap ton defensively? I can't see them being drastically better.

Isn't that a reflection on Coach Pierce though?

I honestly love what they're doing with the LB room. It's in much better shape than what Coach Sark inherited when he first arrived. Lots of really good talent starting to take shape there.
