So, these coaches that were good enough to have so many great seasons are suddenly not good enough anymore? I hear the sacrificial drums beating.

They are my dark horse. The recruiting haul they made this year was completely out of the blue. They always recruit pretty well, but they killed it this time around.

They were 5-7 last season, sucked absolute arse considering all the talent on campus, and it was a direct result of the coaching or lack thereof. They were dismissed because they weren't doing their job.

With the exception of DC, show me one position they didn't upgrade at.

The 8 is Texas we already know a lot there

The 10 is an unknown they are screw going into fall camp so it has to be a big school

I am going to say Florida too, the urban Meyer story seems really fishy and hiring a DC and overpaying him seems fishy as well

There were signs of their incompetence well before this past season, especially on the Offensive side of the ball but was covered up by other-worldly talent. Your explanation for why Texas went 5-7 last year with all that talent on campus.

You've still yet to produce one rumor for Texas being a possibility or a coach other than DC whom wasn't upgraded.

What would legitimize a rumor in your opinion? Maybe if it was published in a Yahoo article or something?

I would giggle my fricking arse off like a school girl if it turns out to be Clemson and Boise/TCU.

Clemson has gotten away with shite for DECADES.

The meltdown at ESPN if Boise or TCU was caught up in a recruiting scandal would be EPIC.

Anyone that actually had some steam behind it. The only problems with Texas Football lately is an extremely crappy product on the field and the Cleve Bryant sexual harassment case.

Their offense sucked but was covered up by otherworldly talent?

You do realize that Texas's defense wasn't exactly shutting people down last year or the year before right?

These coaches didn't suddenly become bad coaches. Greg Davis didn't suddenly forget how to call offensive plays.

There was other shite going on with that program whether you want to believe it or not. To say that all of their troubles were on the backs of the very coaches who took them to the NC the previous year is just foolish and naive.

Last year's defense sucked to be sure but 09? Texas was 8th in points allowed, 3 is yards allowed, and carried them to the National Title game.

Uh yes, Greg Davis is a poor coach, has gotten more stagnant with the year, and several players have admitted as much to knowing what play Texas would run before the ball was even snapped.

Yes, the Cleve Bryant situation. He was Mack's top adviser and loved by everyone in the program. His sexual harassment case was a very big deal but nothing illegal by NCAA standards.

Their scheme, playcalling, and pretty much their entire approach to offense was pretty elementary. Snap the ball and let the QB improvise. The drawbacks to that approach were masked by the fact that they had Vince Young or Colt McCoy (two QBs who were very good at improvisation) for 7? years in a row. Then last year they stick a kid back there who can't make something out of nothing and their offense went to shite.

Damn this is intriguing. I'm hoping none of it involves LSU.

I was going to ask the over/under on how long it'll take for some booster(s) to hire a hit-man.
