Why is it so hard to be successful at Texas?

Unreasonable boosters that have too much control

It wouldn't be for someone that can handle the boosters.

Think Texas HS football parents/boosters x1,000,000. They all inject themselves into everything.

Mack Brown could politic his arse off with those people.

It’s all the fricking dildos people are packing around campus.

IMO, Texas high schools do a pretty good at maximizing the ability of the high school kids and this includes work in the weight room. The reality is a lot of their recruits are close to their personal ceiling, outside of natural growth spurt.

Take some kid out of small town Louisiana that is 6’5” 260 with raw athleticism and put him in the weight room with a nutritionist available and you will find he has much more upside than the same kid from a Texas high school.

I don’t know if my theory has any merit but it’s my theory.

For one, this is simply a different era and "TEXAS" doesn't carry the same clout it did even a decade ago. In the mack-era Texas was always one of those top schools that just about every high profile recruit considered which just isn't the case today. Them having a down period is also huge. When you're constantly great and contendign for titles you're pretty much on cruise. We've seen at plenty of big schools like UF, UT, nebraska, etc. that once you hit that first little downturn, you're not on cruise anymore nad you've got to work that much harder. And lastly they've got a little bigger competition in recruiting. As you said it used to be oklahoma only. Now they compete with OU, Texas A&M that can sell the SEC, a resurgent LSU, and obviously bama who gets most of who they want nationally.

Because Austin is a city for fat chicks with purple hair, trannies, and men that dont know how to change a tire

Good at football. Yeah right.

Its way tougher being better at Baylor and we’ve managed to re-build the program twice this decade.

Baylor zigged at the right time too. I liked Rhule but didn’t know if he could recruit the players at Baylor to play to his style. I am very impressed with what he has done.

It's not, did you miss all the success they had with Brown? I still think Herman will do great. They were hit hard with injuries this year.

Texas better watch out or they will find themselves with programs like Nebraska, Miami, Tennessee as programs people are calling dead.
