So is Herman starting to prod Stoops yet?

[TexasExes98]

I have claimed for years that football is 40% recruiting, 40% coaching and 20% the individual players' willingness to do whatever it takes to be the absolute best they can be. That formula explains how coaches like Bill Snyder are deadly against teams supposedly much better on paper. It also explains how a team like Oklahoma can manage to fuck up at least one game every year when at least one of the ingredients creates a glaring weakness. And look at Texas. When the coaching ability or the talent level or the players' attitudes don't come up to UT standards, they suffer tremendously. It's the same everywhere. If you put all three ingredients together at the right time and all three reach a high level at the same time, then any school can have an elite season.

Listen to Goldbug. He was the only one on here who said Strong was the wrong hire and would be fired within 3 years.

You'll find out in September.

I keep trying to clue them in.......Herman is officially a PROBLEM

But y'all keep thinking this is nothing new. Just remember you were warned to pay attention......I'm not saying to be scared, I'm saying to take notice.....because he's staking his claim and shutting down the state for other programs right now. Be mindful of your own backyard, because he might take those kids too.

Lol. I'll have to actually see it in a game first. Because nobody is scared of that product Texas has put on the field for years now.

I have no doubts he'll get it working on the field, altho it might not be this first season. The man is METICULOUS about his program, he's crossing every T and dotting every I

He's big about attention to detail.

So far he's taken the #1 recruit from FSU, two top recruits from OU and one from LSU......and he's yet to land any of the kids he leads for instate.

He's got the #10 class right now with the least amount of recruits, and a KICKER which is bringing down the average. He's going to land a top 5, maybe top 3 class.

And I'm pretty sure he knows what to do with those recruits. But yeah, keep assuming the past has ANYTHING to do with what's happening right now.

My reaction was more that you think OU has a shot in this game. Could be a bigger beatdown than last year....

already got a bet on with @eluppo for that game...but willing to make another wager if you're game Sir.

It will be closer this year. Bet on that.

Not with Bob's brother still running your defense....

We'll see. Barrett may struggle a bit to pick up Wilson's system and we won't have the cluster fuck at corner back we had at the beginning of last season.

And I'll predict that by the time this year's recruiting class graduates Texas will have won a National Championship. This year will be tough sledding with its usual close game against OU and a couple of games where people are saying WTF? Next season Herman will have most of the wrinkles ironed out and be on his way to doing some big things. It won't take him long to get UT back on top. The only way OU handles all this is to keep winning the RRSO (which should happen this year) but it's going to get back to a being a real knife fight every year. That's what the conference needs.

Actually been a knife fight since Mack left. All the games have been solid.

Not really. We've come into that game flat way too often since Mack left.

Here's a bold prediction that will come to fruition: 'Both Washington & Texas will be in the College Football Playoffs during the same year within the next five years.'
