This might be the last chance I have to convince my daughter to be a Texas fan. Flowbee appears to have won that battle.

At dinner last night, she asked why Texas copied Tennessee for everything.

She's not wrong

RIP itch.

Saw him not long ago at the gas station

It’s a phrase used by people who don’t know what they’re looking at and can’t discuss the ins and outs of the game.

There no place for it here

I do have a partial disagreement with your take. We sat through enough Pruitt to realize that. The team was the worst P5 team in efficiency at beginning and end of halves from 2018-2020 and was top 10 in 2021....

That’s kinda the point. Coaching is judged over time and seasons. Too often a loss means “out coached “ when in reality the coach that lost could have done the better job while the dipsticks say he got out coached.
CJP was a bad coach that mostly lost. Any wins he stumbled into wasn’t a result of “out coaching” anyone.

I think he’s had to really simplify things for the learning curve and the seriously bad o line play.

He should be coach of the year for making the playoffs with this team

Very good points. If our lowest was what we saw Saturday then this team truly did overachieve for most of the season.

Don’t get me wrong this season was still a big success. Like someone posted on here 3-7 in 2020 and having to vacate those wins to the playoffs in four years and probably would’ve been in as well in 22 if they had the 12 team playoff then is I remarkable turnaround. I’m pretty happy overall.

It’s an old school zone joke from 10 years ago

Wtf

Banks owes his paycheck to Rodney Garner.

We were out manned and out coached on both sides of the ball.

Your both ridiculous. Tim Banks has been an excellent Defensive coach, and the envy of the SEC. I'm not happy with how this game turned out and the defensive performance either. But this sorta of idiocy is what got us two decades of fail from idiot armchair experts who undercut our coaches. I can only pray that people who matter in the AD are not as brain dead.

Message board opinions didn’t have an ounce of contribution to the last decade + of performance. You really think we undercut the greatness of Dooley, Jones, and Pruitt from our keyboards?

Message boards led to the hiring of Jeremy Pruitt and Fulmer as AD....

 

[82_VOL_83]

Hey we got Gruden hired 4 times....oh wait.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Message boards led to the hiring of Jeremy Pruitt and Fulmer as AD....

No it didn’t.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

No it didn’t.

The social media outrage absolutely led to Schiano hiring falling through..

Jeremy Pruitt nor Phil Fulmer gets hired without that.

I'm still triggert.

Me too. That was the beginning of my triggertness. I'd never been triggert before and ain't been untriggert scents.

Schiano likely would’ve been worse than Pruitt and Fulmer. At best equal but certainly not any better.

Schiano and Currie would have been much better than Fulmer/Pruitt.

Pruitt did more damage than any coach in our modern history. Fulmer did more damage than any AD in our history...

 

[apevol]

if wed hired schiano wed be in 5-8 win purgatory forever

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

if wed hired schiano wed be in 5-8 win purgatory forever

I agree, there wasnt the ceiling there with Schiano. We would be 6-9 win team with no shot for a natty. But we wouldnt have had the floor that we saw with Pruitt.

And Pruitt wasnt even the worst hire in December 2017....

Well by that logic, Heupel and White either. Butterfly flaps its wings and all.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

No one on a message board said “let’s hire Pruitt!”

If they did, please point me to them so they can be properly castrated of their keyboard.
