So you're fine with taking a shitty coach that couldn't cut it at different high profile job and giving him the keys to the kingdom?

If you're asking me to choose between Buttertooth and Boom? And lol at Muschamp being a shitty coach

I seriously despise Sabin.
If Sabin somehow becomes our man I will find a snake and hack it up.
Then... I don't know.

Greg Robinson for team MVP. Defense has looked better each week. Tackling fundamentals make alp the difference in the world. Would maybe be undefeated if he was DC all season, not that faggot Manny Diaz.

Offensive line is much better as well.

Perplexing stuff.

The only certains IMO are Case McCoy is awful, and Mack is gone.

Then you better pray that Mack doesn't get his third Big 12 championship in 15 years. Am I the only one who thinks this asshole is keeping his job? You think his buddies are going to let Texas fire him if he wins out? You think his ego will allow him to quit? You think his greed will let him walk away from $5 million?

[Vito Corleone]

Texas won't win the Big 12, and even if they do Mack will still step down. Things are in motion that can't be stopped.

A new name that's been mentioned briefly is DE Trey Carter of Dallas Pinkston.

A new 2015 name that has been in touch with Applewhite recently is WR Ryan Newsome of Aledo. He's alreadly been offered by TCU and OU is expected to offer soon. LSU's track program is also supposed to offer. He's mentioned he grew up a huge fan of Texas and a UT offer "would change everything completely." Kid had more than 1,100 all-purpose yards halfway through the high school season.

Update on S Jamal Adams from 24/7...Ohio State was never a favorite to land him so it's not a huge deal, but he did cancel his official visit to Columbus this weekend. It's likely he won't re-schedule that one. The only official visit he has left is Texas and that could be for the Oklahoma State game or the staff may want him to come in for banquet weekend once the season ends. Word is UT has gained a ton of ground on Florida in recent weeks and they're possibly neck-and-neck at this point. Florida struggling has obviously been a big help.

RUMOR

This is a fun one. If Saban is the next head coach at Texas, word is he'll target Michigan State's Pat Narduzzi for his defensive coordinator as they have coached together before. Granted it's the Big 10, Narduzzi's unit is currently the #1 defense in the country.

That's amazing! Narduzzi is my favorite DC in all of college football, but I'm not sure how his scheme fits the pass heavy Big 12.

What is the source?

Guy on OrangeBloods who has ties to the Michigan State program.

Inside Texas also mentioned this today.

[Vito Corleone]

Give me Chad Morris as the OC and this would be pretty close to a dream team of coaches.

Just curious if Saban does come to Texas how many Bama commits come with him?

Two off the top of my head would be Zach Whitley and Cameron Robinson.

My guess is the big winner in this would be Auburn and LSU as a few commits would jump ship to them.

[TFloss32]

I've been very impressed with the improvement of our defense under Robinson, but to imagine what improvements would take place under Saban would be scary. A hands on coach that actually knows how to get the best out of his talent. You are right, we would be the big winner.

[TFloss32]

24/7 saying a new 2015 offensive player has been offered. They're still confirming the name.

The offer is to 2015 QB Josh Rosen of Bellflower, CA. He's ranked #5 overall in the country by 24/7.

http://247sports.com/Player/Josh-Rosen-17035

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkqvKxW7uoA

[TFloss32]

Also from 24/7, 2015 WR Ryan Newsome of Aledo will be in attendance for the Kansas game.

Another potential offer to look out for.

[texas4ever]

Also Per 24/7- Coppell 247Composite five-star defensive end Solomon Thomas visited Ohio State this past weekend on an unofficial visit and after speaking with a source close to his recruitment, it sounds like things have been shaken up a bit.
Before the visit it appeared to be a two team race between the Longhorns and Stanford, but the Buckeyes have made quite the impression on the blue-chip 2014 defender.
"The visit went very well," said the source. "Great campus, facilities, coaches and culture. He loved it."
When I asked the source if Ohio State is now a serious contender for Thomas' services, he said there's no doubt about it and that the Buckeyes will be a major player from here on out.
Currently Thomas doesn't have any other visits planned, although he told Horns247 he would like to get down to Austin one more time before the season ends, if possible.
We also expect Texas to receive an official from Thomas, but he won't be taking any official visits until after his season at Coppell concludes.
Once those officials are taken, expect him to make his decision. There's also a chance that Thomas, a US Army All-American, could announce at the game, but that definitely is not set in stone.

8. David Ash (http://espn.go.com/college-football/player/_/id/511262/david-ash), Texas: Ash is throwing again, and could be cleared to return soon. But will he resume his starting role? The way McCoy is performing, probably not. -- JT

http://espn.go.com/blog/big12/post/_/id/74843/ranking-the-big-12s-top-25-quarterbacks

[Needs More Bourbon]

That is great news on Ash. Assuming he's 100%, I'd be very surprised if he didn't get his job back.

[Michael Jordan.]

Mack is gonna get Ash killed.

[Phillip]

If Ash is truly healthy and ready to play, this team can and will win out.

Case just makes too many stupid mistakes.

[ThePop]

If Ash is truly healthy and ready to play, this team can and will win out.

Case just makes too many stupid mistakes.

I agree, with Ash we can score more points and at a faster pace. We NEED to score if we want to beat Tech and Baylor. That said, I'm not sure you can just hand him his job back until Case loses.

[Vito Corleone]

I agree, with Ash we can score more points and at a faster pace. We NEED to score if we want to beat Tech and Baylor. That said, I'm not sure you can just hand him his job back until Case loses.

Ash has proven to have a bit of a glass jaw, if he is healthy they need to ease him in maybe give him a few series with Case getting the majority and Swoops getting mop up duty. Case has proven to be a good leader, he deserves a shot to keep on winning.

[Phillip]

I agree, with Ash we can score more points and at a faster pace. We NEED to score if we want to beat Tech and Baylor. That said, I'm not sure you can just hand him his job back until Case loses.

I dunno, Case has had some extremely stupid and concerning interceptions the last two games. He's pretty fortunate that it didn't bite him in the butt against OU. And I think Case plays better when he doesn't feel pressure on his back, that someone could take his job. Once Ash is healthy and ready to play, I think Case starts resorting to trying too much, like he usually does, and doing stupid crap.

I thought Tcu figured out the Texas offense in the second half, they stuffed the run, and shoed a defensive look that caused Case to audible into a pass play they were waiting forand that is where the ints came from.

Over the next two weeks the coaches need some new audibles installed to keep the defense guessing. I do agree that with Ash at 100% this offense would be really tough to stop.

[TFloss32]

RUMOR

Another update from Inside Texas...word is ESPN is going to be quite flexible with the next Texas coach when it comes to his obligations with the Longhorn Network. Basically, the new time commitments are being planned around the new guy so he can stay within his comfort zone and operate as he always has. The report sounded as if this move was for one coach in particular.

[TFloss32]

OrangeBloods saying another new guy to keep an eye on is 2015 DE Tyrell Thompson of Copperas Cove. He camped at UT this summer and attended Texas/OU a few weeks ago, but I can't find a profile or film on him. I'll post that whenver I come across it.

[elbamba]

I agree, with Ash we can score more points and at a faster pace. We NEED to score if we want to beat Tech and Baylor. That said, I'm not sure you can just hand him his job back until Case loses.

My biggest concern would be that whenever Ash was playing, Texas decided not to rush the ball as much. It seemed like Malcom Brown did not even get in the game when Ash was playing. If they stick to running first and passing second like with McCoy, I would prefer Ash because he is way more accurate and has a much stronger arm.

[Blake]

Meh. Regardless of Ash or Case, UT needs to run the hell out of the ball.

No gimmicks, just double tight end sets, go smash mouth, and you should beat us and Baylor by eating clock and wearing the defense down.

[the chronic]

Ash may be throwing the ball around, but I have on pretty good word that Ash has lingering concussion symptoms. I find it unlikely that he plays again this year.

Meh. Regardless of Ash or Case, UT needs to run the hell out of the ball.

I agree completely. Just they need Ash's arm to make teams pay with play-action passes, because Case has the weakest arm ever.

[Phillip]

There is ONE thing Case is oddly good at, and that's finding Shipley for 3rd down conversions.

[Blake]

I agree completely. Just they need Ash's arm to make teams pay with play-action passes, because Case has the weakest arm ever.

Ash would beat us 45-17, Case 35-17....something like that.....

But if Major decides to go gimmick, UT will be primed for an upset.

[TFloss32]

Word out of Dallas Lincoln is that Emanuel Porter has switched back to TCU? Anyone else hear anything on this?

Can't find anything right now. It would be very odd timing.

[Jimmiemac]

It would be very odd timing.

My thinking also, but the HC there currently is a former TCU player and was briefly on Patterson's staff. He was not at Lincoln when Porter originally committed or switched to UT.

Regarding Porter, is is definitely an odd timing. I've never been very high on him, so it doesn't change a whole lot. The only WR left I would like to see is Frank Iheanacho. But he seems to be A&M's to lose.

Quick quote from 2015 S Larry Pryor of Sulphur Springs (24/7):

“I’m just not sure yet,” said Pryor. “I’ve been thinking hard lately about this. Honestly, everything has changed for me. I don’t really know, but I do know Texas isn’t my number one anymore.”

2015 WR Ryan Newsome of Aledo talks about his trip to Austin for the Kansas game (24/7):

“I liked it a lot,” Newsome said. “It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed it a lot. I liked the atmosphere. It was just a great visit. I also really liked the way they used Daje (Johnson) and I think that’s how they might use me.”

“They told me they want to come to a playoff game to see me more,” Newsome said. “They told me about how they watched my film throughout the week and they really liked everything they saw. They’re going to come watch me play some tough competition.”

[TFloss32]

Quotes from a source close to 2015 WR DaMarkus Lodge of Cedar Hill (24/7):

“He loves it there (Austin),” said the source. “He just really loves Texas. He loves the coaches, the facilities, the players and many of the guys they already have committed. I think he’ll end up there, I just don’t know when. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was pretty soon though. He’s had Texas on the mind. I’m pretty sure he wants to be a Longhorn.”

“He may just want to see a few more places and take in the experience some more,” the source explained. “You only get to do this once and he knows that, so he is trying to enjoy it. I’m pretty sure he already knows where he wants to go in his heart though. I’m thinking that decision has already been made.”

2015 WR James Proche is another prospect who did not receive an offer this weekend, but he enjoyed the visit (OrangeBloods):

one of the hardest things in the world is for a player to give up the sport he loves, in this case I really hope Ash do just that. If he is having problems like this for this many weeks it's a sure bet the next time he takes a strong hit, it would be much much worse.

Good offer. Saw this quote from him yesterday, but didn't think it was worth posting:

"I like Baylor and I like what they do on offense and how their coaches run thing," Kirk said. "I would definitely consider Baylor as much as other schools if the offered, so I would probably look into taking a visit and seeing what Baylor is all about. Ole Miss is a school that is in contact with me a lot. Texas is an offer I would like to have too. Bryant Westbrook played there and he is our defensive backs coach, so he is always talking them up."

We'll see how the next few months go, but I like that he hired Rudy T and was behind Clutch City in Houston back in the early 90s and then helped bulid Reliant when the Texans were founded. It sounds like he's very exicted about leading plans for the new basketball arena as the Erwin Center should be demolished in the next decade to make room for the new medical school.

Is ATM football the best program in Texas, must disagree since with a heisman quality qb ATM has wasted these years and not competed for a NC, or for that matter has not won there conference. Without a conference championship I have a hard time placing ATM over UT as a program as a whole. But without a doubt the gap is closing and closing fast and it will be interesting to see i ATM can continue with this progression after JM leaves for the NFL.

As a side note, that JT/Whitehouse game was one of the greatest high school football games I've ever seen. So many playmakers on both sides of the ball and neither team could stop the other. Whitehouse's QB has a future in D-1 ball. Dude has a cannon for an arm.

This part is called "Built by Bama" which focuses on the strength and conditioning program and Alabama's facilities. If Texas somehow lands Saban, I hope he brings their S&C coach. He is one crazy Cajun mofo.

We are on a much better pace than people expected. Recruiting at a top 5 level and raising more money than any time in our history. A recent poll indicated 22% of people identified as an Aggie fan. The most in the state. We are in a much better position than USC.

I think he's safe if he makes a bowl, BUT...they lose to Vandy today and they won't get to six wins. They'll beat Georgia State to get five and then they'll lose to South Carolina and FSU to end the year. Coaching carousel will be awesome if Florida, Texas and USC are all open. I'm confident he won't be Texas' next coach, but I think he's a realistic possibility at defensive coordinator.

The stats say Texas should win tonight by a TD or so, but there are several reasons that make me think this could be an ugly one; West Virginia plays much better at home, unfamiliar environment, rowdy crowd, it'll be cold, etc. Lose tonight and I expect the "Mack is coming back" talk to fade quickly. He can't drop this one.

Yeah I understand and completely agree with what you're saying Floss. Basically it's nearly impossible that we win out so based of that probability... Mack won't come back. But I wanna know how do you think Mack will be handle if Texas so happens to wins out, even tho its unlikely? I don't think they can bring themselves to push him out. I think right now somewhere someone is hoping we lose 2 more games just to insure Mack's departure, because without those losses U can't be certain he's gone.

I do, but I can understand if someone disagrees with that opinion. I don't know if A&M would seriously pursue Briles (because he has a large buyout and they could attain Morris from Clemson), but that possibility is why I have mixed feelings about Sumlin potentially leaving for another job. Briles is my #2 behind Saban.

[TFloss32]

"Retiring". I just think winning a weak Big XII isn't enough for the boosters to change their minds. A couple 5-7 seasons lately. Especially if Saban interest is legit.

I'm on this side as well. I think the momentum created from losing to BYU and Ole Miss is unstoppable despite Robinson helping the defense so much. I would hope if Mack somehow won the conference and got to the Fiesta Bowl, that he'd take that opportunity to retire gracefully and not make a mess.

Never said Briles was a bad coach, that what he's done is unimpressive, or that he wasn't as good as Sumlin. An upgrade is a different thing. I'll take Sumlin over Briles personally, if for nothing other than not changing what we have going. But I think Briles would be successful at A&M. Sumlin is recruiting better than anyone in A&M history and has us way ahead of our projected pace in the SEC. Do not want to lose him.

Assuming Ash continues to play football, hopefully both will be granted medical redshirts. Cochran's shoulder was never healthy.

Catalon and/or Shorter better be ready for next year with Gray's status up in the air.

RB/ATH Kevin Shorter recently tweeted out his five official visits: UCLA, Arkansas, Texas A&M, Texas and Florida State.

Guess that's what you get for sticking with a guy who had an injury that could've potentially ended his career. I still think he's to good to cut ties with.

Sorry to hear that, he is an impact player and fun to watch.

OrangeBloods reporting five-star RB Leonard Fournette will be in Austin this weekend with CB Jermaine Roberts.

I don't think A&M would even take Shorter at this point. Not sure why he's officially visiting.

No link yet, but rumor going around that Baylor will give Art Briles an extension this week while also increasing his buyout once again.

I think Anderson/Bradford committing influenced his decision in the first place.

Too good not to share. Check out this dude at the Boston Celtics game dancing to Bon Jovi:

Taylor Hamm from A&M's 24/7 site claims that these visits is now off again. Apparently they wont happen now.

After Shorter tweeted about his visits, he tweeted an hour or two later that he had a long talk with Coach Porter. That's why his visits are off.

Jamal Adams Final 4 - Texas, Florida, LSU , Ole Miss.

I think you guys get him but watch out for LSU. I think they are creeping up there.

[ThePop]

Sure sounds like it. I don't follow him on twitter anymore but the other day I checked it and he sounded obsessed with LSU.

[Vito Corleone]

Don't even care anymore, I'm ready to put an end to the 2014 class and ready to put all our effort into 2015.

Came across this earlier today. I don't know who this McPhaul is and I've never read anything from him before. I don't read Hornssports normally, this one was send to me.

Even though I have a hard time believing any of it, it was a "fun" read.

that was a "fun" read lol.

has anybody heard anything about sumlin interviewing at USC? I was told today that he was caught red handed and that they are going to offer him 6 mil and A&M has contacted briles and that is why briles is being extended so quickly and upping his buyout.
