NCAA football, 2013-14

[Eddie Teach]

Shame. I thought Grantham did a good job overall. Last year's team just had too many new players.

[Valmy]

Hey MBM the coaching staff just got announced: http://texassports.com/news/2014/1/15/FB_0115140254.aspx

Vance Bedford: defensive coordinator/secondary
Bruce Chambers: tight ends
Brian Jean-Mary: linebackers/recruiting coordinator
Les Koenning: wide receivers
Tommie Robinson: running backs
Chris Rumph: assistant head coach for defense/defensive line
Chris Vaughn: defensive backs/special teams coordinator
Shawn Watson: assistant head coach for offense/quarterbacks
Joe Wickline: offensive coordinator/offensive line
Pat Moorer: head strength and conditioning coach for football

Woah a Special Teams coordinator?  What a concept.

There's a lot of whining about it, especially on the offensive side of the ball, but I think I like it as much as you can without seeing it on the field.

I'm really interested in seeing what Wickline does as a full OC.  Run heavy spread is the first thing that came to mind.

The whining is ridiculous.  Say what you want to about that staff they are loaded with experience.  I mean there is a long time OC as WR coach for godsake.  I think Wickline was brought over to install the OSU offense and I think that is brilliant.  Some people were surprised the OLine coach was the OC but Missouri and Stanford do the same thing and it seems to work for them.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Yeah, I think it sounds just fine and potentially awesome.  I'm also curious to see what Watson can do with the QBs.  Against all odds, Ash improved quite a bit as it is, and he SHOULD have two years of eligibility remaining with the med redshirt.  Swoopes and Heard, especially Heard, could turn into monsters.

MBM and Valmy:  did you guys see the (supposed) new player rules for Texas?  My thought concerning the no living off campus one was that it will be harder to slip those envelopes of unmarked bills under the doors of players in the Dorm.

[MadBurgerMaker]

 

I like the rules though.  They started spring workouts today.

First workout was somethin serious. I'm worn out man...

Oh and hey, apparently Greg Robinson is interviewing for the Cal DC spot.  Or something at Cal.  They'd probably be pretty happy with the D only giving up 16 to Oregon.

[PDH]

My God, Cal is such a mess right now.

Ok now lets not go into Mack Brown-esque spin.  We did give up over 500 yards.

[MadBurgerMaker]

I dont give a shit about yardage when it's running up and down the field between the 20s.  They kept them out of the endzone on all but one of their possessions.  Then Case McCoy stepped out there and got them in twice.

E:  I can't believe he subbed Case back in like that.

Of course I am plugged in man.

Texas doesn't do that sort of thing (well not anymore there was some shenanigans back when Fred Akers was head coach...but what do you expect from somebody poisoned by Wyoming corruption?).  That is why they have only won one national championship in 43 years.

They could have easily scored more.  But anyway I don't want to discuss the 2010 - 2013 Mack Brown era anytime soon

[PDH]

Texas needs to be more SEC

[MadBurgerMaker]

Yeah, they were kicking field goals because they felt bad for Mack.

[PDH]

I bet they score a lot on Wyoming next September!
