Ribbing on your buddies is a large part of masculine culture. It’s how you know your are in the club. The jokes are a sign of her acceptance into a largely masculine world of football. Not an attempt to exclude her. It’s social psychology. She’s doing just fine. Better than fine actually. If she were bad at her job the jokes would be awful and likely cross the line. It’s far from fragile masculinity. Fragile masculinity would be like attacking Mullen’s wife for kissing players because we hate Mullen because he turned us down and kicks our ass on the field.

This deserves atleast a bronze in mental gymnastics. I don't even know how to respond to this but I'll give it a shot.

One, what you're referring to is ingroup/outgroup transference, it's the same defense used for fraternity hazing, office politics, police academy hazing, etc. Two, it has nothing to do with the quality of her work (most comments have to do with her crying, playing female mind games, etc). Third, your example of mullen's wife is absolutely not fragile masculinity, if one said "it's just like a woman to think men need our boo-boos kissed" or "I'll give her something to kiss", those kind of jokes are rooted in classical sexism and display the qualities of fragile masculinity. And 4, what you're referring to is sociology, not social psychology.

You receive an F, everyone in the room is now dumber from reading your comment, and may God have mercy on your soul.

For sure - need someone acclimated to this style of play.

The problem is there are only a handful of guys who have had sustained defensive success while the offense plays at this tempo - and how excited are we going to be to pull one of them from North Texas, Tulsa or Kent State?

Go back to TAMU. Could you imagine a worse possible 2 months for UT? I'm not sure this entire process could be going worse. Getting turned down by a position coach for DC after DW taking his whole UCF crew.

We're a joke

Yeah, but Washington was not a proven DC.

so? if he's who you want, and he's balking at 1.2, then how bad do you want him? my only point is you have overpaid for coordinators before....why not do it for one you really, really want? that's it....nothing more. we're not really in a position to be talking about "yeah buts..." when it comes to hiring people....our leverage is not the greatest right now

if he's the dude....go make it happen. if not, move on once you've hit your 'pain threshold', financially.

I think it’s way easier for Day to convince him to stay than it is for us to convince him to leave.

After thinking about he will stay. Way more upside.

Steele has been persona non grata for weeks. Still working but safe to say, that relationship has taken a hit. He was passed over and kept out of the loop while they kicked tire after tire after tire. Sure, he's under contract, but how motivated is he? They didn't want him and can't pretend otherwise.

Why is he even still here?
