Strong is 0-11 when the opponent scores first?

[pgardn]

please tell me when Willie Anderson was our best player

.

1988-89

Please tell me who you think was better?
It was NOT Alvin Robertson THAT year.

[Vito Corleone]

please tell me when Willie Anderson was our best player......Before David played his first game, Alvin Robertson was far and away our best player. Then, he was traded for Terry mings as David was about to start his career. Once David stepped on the floor, he was far and away our best player.

Willie was at best our 2nd or 3rd best player and even that is a stretch.....as I would put TC and Sean above him.

I know Bass made many questionable moves, with coaching hires, drafted players, and FA signings......but to be honest, we were a small market team with little to no financial wiggle room. IMO, drafting Hughes really set us back a few years (We could have had Dumars, who could have been paired with Robertson to make one awesome backcourt). It also did us no favors that Dawkins injured his hand and his career was basically over before it really started. I believe if Dawkins stays healthy, he would have been a better PG for us on and off the court than that s bag who threw the no look pass to Elliott against Portland, and then later broke his hand at a night club......Oh, I know his name, but I refuse to say it cause I despise the s bag so much.

I remember watching ESPN back in 1988, the year we went 21-61. Berman used a line I will never forget. He said, "You know the Spurs are having a off year when their best player is nicknamed "Brick" (for Frank Brickowski)."

I couldn't stop laughing.

There is a lot of jobs coming open this year.

Hawaii just fired Norm Chow.

Hawaii just fired Norm Chow.

Worth a look as offensive coordinator?

[TFloss32]

Strong is 0-11 when the opponent scores first?

Correct. Some other stats:

-third time this season Texas has been held scoreless at halftime. All games were on the road (ND, TCU and ISU).

-Texas has been outscored 112-10 in three road losses.

-Texas finished with 85 yards passing against ISU. Fourth game in a row where they have had less than 100 yards passing.

I would think the next OC has strong Texas ties and/or is familiar with the conference.

What about Mike Jinks.....former QB for Converse Judson in the late 80s, HC of Cibolo Steele, took them to two State Championship games, winning 1.....and now on the coaching staff at TT.

[djohn2oo8]

Rumor mill around certain boards tonight is Strong is out at the end of the year.

The quick sideline throws were horrible. And yep, Heard should have had 3 interceptions. It's harder to watch the receiving routes on TV so I don't doubt they were bad. I thought Norvell did a good job with using basic stuff against OU. I expected some confidence and more refinement. We went perfectly BACKWARDS. It's very disappointing.

[djohn2oo8]

Tom Herman could be looked upon as replacement if Strong is gone.

[TheMex]

Are we talking again about this? me.

[DMX7]

All just speculation at this point.

[playblair]

God, I hope not. KD logo on everything?

Didn't even know KD had a logo. Looked it up and it looks like , would be turrible if UT athletics started using it.

kd logo = recruits

[benefactor]

Are we talking again about this? me.

No, we aren't. Only one person is.

[djohn2oo8]

No, we aren't. Only one person is.

Keep thinking that.

[Blake]

Eh maybe

[Blake]

Worth a look as offensive coordinator?

I think he'd be a solid hire for the horns

2017 DE Robert Beal of Norcross, GA has committed to Notre Dame:

[elbamba]

Its as much on him. Their game plan is predictable and the players had no energy. That is on him. I still think he deserves at least one more year, but can he turn it around with 3-4 new coaches? Only time will tell.

it's tough to put a lot of it on Charlie since he was a bit hog tied by Patterson

I think he does need to revamp the the whole thing, starting with O and D coordinators. It's pretty obvious they suck.
