Today has been somber. I absolutely loved Mike Leach interviews, and would always tune in to parts of his games. I have listened to xm84 about all day long, and to hear some of the stories shared by friends, players, and other coaches have made me appreciate the uniqueness of the man so much more. Some of the stories I heard today, and read on twitter were absolutely phenomenal, and some down right hilarious!
Hearing all these actually brought up a nice memory of my father and I, who I was just talking about here yesterday. He passed 10 years ago in November. One of my last great memories of him was driving to Wyoming from WV to go elk hunting. Mike Leach was on xm84 at the time as a talk show co host. I think it was probably the 3rd morning of driving, and I was listening to Leach's show, and my father, that never, ever mentioned or paid any mind to what was on the radio, reaches over and turns the volume down. I was kind of like "what was that for?" He calmly said "i'm tired of listening to that milly mouth. Good coach, but I've heard enough...". lol
He then went back to just looking out the window and enjoying the scenery of the trip.

The only issue with your second sentence is that different people have different interpretations and observations. Everyone characterizes things differently. We do have penalties for people who readily admit that they lied to law enforcement or under oath.

We lost our 3 best DBs and production was nearly the same.

From 7.3 YPA allowed down to 7.2.

From 132 QBR allowed up just 3 points to 135

No one ever should have expected improvment after losing Theo and AT and having limited ability to bring in new bodies. That would have been silly. A step back was certainly reasonable and expected. Then we lost Burrell on top of the other 2. Holding steady YoY was something else.

Ofc we all know Martinez is a stud developer.

Now it's time to bring in some legit talent currently and especially in the 2024 class. We need to be patient and keep continuity for those coaches that are proven.

Banks sucks and will not be here more than one more season.

May very well be right but need continuity right now. Especially after losing Golesh. I mean, we went 10-2.

I'm not sold on Banks but not giving up quite yet.

The excuse is injuries. Every team has injuries. Our secondary isn't even in the same area code as the receivers. If they were close to making plays I'd be willing to entertain lack of talent. They're not close to making plays most of the time.

Probably nothing more than posting memories from his recruitment and time with Tennessee. You can see he posted two other photos but we're shown this one just to get some folks worked up for no reason.
