We should pull out all the stops to get Joe Brady. But i think he might get head coaching offers. Even if Brady doesn't get a head coach gig, it'll be hard to pry him from LSU.

LSU is all in on football. They would never let him leave for another OC gig.

I thought Herman was sposed to be an offensive genius tho?

I don’t remember hearing anything crazy about Mehringer at UH but he does look like a douche and he went to rice so I’m not surprised.

Orlando is a good coach. Sucks he’s getting scapegoated but shyts cutthroat and results are results. He’s made some good money the last 5 years.

I’ve seen Herman shyt all over the air raid when he was at Houston. I’m sure if I looked I can literally find him on camera during a press conference saying the air raid can’t win you championships. This is wild to watch.

this is why you get your assistants right the first time. Beck should have never bee the OC and Orlando wasn’t ready to coach at a program like Texas.

Orlando is not a good coach, his scheme got figured out and he couldn't adjust, he also doesn't really recruit. Dude doesn't deserve to be at the P5 level.

I doubt Orlando will have trouble finding a job so he’ll definitely get his chance at redemption. I agree 100% about his recruiting though.

This breh is tight with Kenyatta Watson’s pops.

He said this shake up was coming last week on a live stream.

I posted this in another thread, but thought it was interesting enough to share. Research any National Championship team, and you'll find two common traits: (1) a good to great QB and (2) predominantly upperclassmen starters. In 2016, Texas signed 28 players as part of the nation's 11th rated class, hoping those players would anchor dynamic teams in 2018 and 2019. Here are the results from that 28-player class:

12 Transferred
* Jordan Elliott
* Chris Daniels
* Erick Fowler
* Peyton Aucoin
* R. Hemphill-Mapps
* Jean Delance
* Marcel Southall
* Davion Curtis
* Eric Cuffee
* Kyle Porter
* Shane Buechele
* J.P. Urquidez

2 Medically Retired
* Patrick Hudson
* Andrew Fitzgerald

1 Was Dismissed from the Team
* DeMarco Boyd

1 Left Early for the NFL
* Lil'Jordan Humphrey

7 Reserves
* Donovan Duvernay (0 starts)
* Christmas-Giles (0)
* Tope Imade (0)
* Gerald Wilbon (1)
* Denzel Okafor (5)
* Chris Brown (8)
* Jeffery McCulloch (10)

5 Starters
* Malcolm Roach (18 starts)
* Devin Duvernay (27)
* Collin Johnson (28)
* Brandon Jones (31)
* Zach Shackleford (39)

Out of 28 signees, we got 6 starters (LJH, Roach, Duvernay, Jones, CJ, Shack) and 5 playable reserves (Buechele, Brown, McCulloch, Okafor, Wilbon). Seriously, I don't think you could dream up a more nightmare recruiting scenario than the one that played out with that class. Not to give coaching a pass (b/c coaching is our #1 issue), but this team is in a much better place if the hit rate had been just average for that class. You can't get 5 starters from a recruiting class and succeed in their upperclassmen years.

Imagine this team if just Boyd, Hudson, Fowler, Elliott, and Christmas-Giles had met just 70-80% of expectations when they signed. 70-80% of expectations would have put them all at Honorable Mention to 1st Team All Big 12 quality, and a draft position of 3rd - 7th round. I bet that right there is worth a win last year and 2-3 wins this year. If we have veteran depth, then we don't have to turn to RS freshmen and true sophomores when the injury bug bit this season. And, some guys who weren't ready to start would have been backing the seniors up, rather than starting in their place.

And what makes what happened to that class all the worse, the 2017 class was Herman's transition class. So, the talent level (as almost always happens with a new hire) fell off precipitously. Here are the results from that 18-player, 31st ranked class:

3 Transferred
* Jordan Pouncy
* Toneil Carter
* Joshua Rowland

1 Did Not Qualify
* Damion Miller

1 After Two Years b/c he was a JUCO Signee
* Gary Johnson

8 Reserves
* Jamari Chisolm (0 career starts)
* Max Cummins (0)
* Marquez Bimage (0)
* Reese Leitao (0)
* Montrell Estell (2)
* Josh Thompson (3)
* Daniel Young (5)
* Kobe Boyce (5)

5 Starters
* Ta'Quon Graham (10 career starts)
* Cade Brewer (11)
* Sam Cosmi (23)
* Derek Kerstetter (25)
* Sam Ehlinger (30)

So from the two classes that were supposed to have been the backbone of the 2018-20 teams, we got 26 busts, 12 starters (2 of which were gone early due to JUCO/NFL) and 8 key reserves. That's a recipe for a whole lot of suckage.

We were talking about hit rate on recruits and how much it matters last night on our podcast

 

[PortCityProphet]

Me and @Lucky_Lefty just applied to the open assistant coaches positions. Combined we have over 200 NCAA championships
Wish us luck in our journey to turn Texas around and surpass its past glory

I’ve had 5 straight Heisman winners at QB. Last one won by one point. Run a pretty good program as well

Me too. All my recruits end up getting re-vitiligo tho. They get darker soon as they step on campus

I'm done believing Jackson is the next QB @satam55

Its going to be Card. Can tell by the fact they are going with Air Raid options for OC

@Dr. Narcisse I been meaning tag you to this post for a couple of days:


If you wondering how future Texas QBs will fit if Graham Harrell is hired as OC:


























@dtownreppin214 I agree with Ian that JQJ got outplayed by North Shore's QB in last year's state title game.

North Shore's Offense >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Duncanville's offense.

You gotta admit that Duncanville's offense seems primitive for a 6A power, but it works because how dynamic a player JQJ is

Now that is the same guy (I believe) who said Sam was better than Kyler in HS/College.

Still...yea I'm thinking JQJ is probably closer to Jerrod Heard (Swoopes) than VY as a dual threat. So it would make sense to get started at another position.

Damn..I was hyped too, but the more film/clips I look at I don't see so overwhelming athletic that you can watch him develop (Lamar Jackson/VY, etc)

Probably on the Milroe wagon now.
