I'm done. Going to watch Cubs. El Texan out.

Sometimes you just cannot stop these types of HUNH spread offenses.

If Louisville, Cal, Texas Tech, or Ole Miss wants to drop 40+ on someone, they do it.
And they do it versus better teams than Texas.

Cal has scored 48, 55, 51, 40, and 50 in their last 5 games.
Texas doesn't have nearly as good enough defensive talent to even think about shutting them down.
They might need triple digits next week in Tempe.

That is what they do. It would be pretty arrogant to think fresh off a (5-7) season we would be the team to shut them down on their own home field.

I was more disappointed in the unforced offensive errors (the 2nd half penalties and stupid interceptions).
But, overall this team is clearly moving in the right direction. Settle the hell down.

Charlie Strong disagrees with you. He's put every defensive coach on notice. He has acknowledged Bedford's schemes are not putting our players in place to make plays. He has put Bedford on notice. He has gone on record telling his defensive coaches that the way their players play on the field is a reflection of their coaching. Enough with the excuses. Time to start holding people accountable. Strong has said he will be more involved in the defensive schemes and game planning now. This is what should have been done in the middle of last year.

Exes, Charlie has been firing assistants left and right ever since he took over as head coach. At what point does that come back to bite him in the ass? Seems like someone would catch on to how everybody but Charlie is being held accountable for UT's continued struggles over the past 3 years.

 

[BigRedMoe]

I'll check back in when the Cubs' season is over.
Fuck our stupid head coach who literally has given away games. And who gave away a chance to win in this one.
Fuck our revolving door assistant coaching so that we have no cohesion or plan.
Fuck our D scheming which seems to be an effort to help struggling opponents.
Fuck firing the best asst coach in cfb, Akina, a mistake I called when it happened.
Fuck losing close games all the time like some jv squad.

Go Cubs.

Fuck you. Fuck my dumb self too. Fuck OU. Fuck Aggy. Fuck

Now that the Royals are eliminated from playoff contention I'll be rooting for a Red Sox-Cubs World Series. So, Go Cubbies!
Also, fuck your coach.

Oh, he is being held accountable. I have told fellow Orangebloods over and over that incompetent coaching has held this team back and is responsible for back to back losing seasons. It wasn't Mack Brown's fault, it wasn't being "young" or any of those other bullshit excuses that have been thrown around. Charlie Strong surrounded himself with an extremely mediocre coaching staff the 1st 2 years, with the exception of Jeff Traylor. I think he finally realizes the heat and is putting in a last minute effort to salvage this season, hence the reason he tore his defensive coaching staff a new asshole, including his best friend Vance Bedford, after they got back from Berkley last Saturday. It's time to put up or shut up or he's gone. It's year 3. This is Texas, not fucking Texas Tech, Rice, UTEP, TCU, Baylor, etc. You don't get 4-5 years to turn things around at a school like Texas. This isn't 20 years ago. Progress should be made in the 1st year. Mack took over a 4-7 team and went 9-3 his 1st year. Strong didn't inherit elite talent, but he did inherit talent that could post a winning record at least.

Interesting to hear that Charlie's getting some serious heat. I have always thought Texas could have (and should have) done better than hiring him but the PC crowd has a tendency to look askance at anyone questioning the performance of a minority coach. Whatever the reasons have been for tolerating Strong's poor performance, it's time for the UT people to let him know things can't keep going the way they have been. Beating Oklahoma has been his saving grace until now but that won't mean quite as much as it used to since OU is now lurching toward a bad season and beating us isn't the accomplishment it used to be.

 

[azchamps]

Yeah,yeah,yeah at the OP... I got my own problems.....every year. Not much sympathy here.

Hell, I have a
beat down to look forward to this weekend.....and the next.... and the next...................and..............

Try being a die-hard fan for my team. I learned real quick (back inthe70,s) ........ but I'm still a die-hard fan.

Eager to see if Bob fires his bro at the end of the year....

OU's on a roll. We've lost 3 out of our last 4 games and the Oklahoma defense has given up an average of 38 points in those losses. Those are Kansas numbers.

Could be worse Exes. You could have Tech's defense!

His bro better resign or he'll get Bob fired.

Hey, maybe the head coach at Kentucky can join 'em!

We're not far off:

Texas #107 scoring defense
TT #122 scoring defense

Texas #71 total defense (playing your Miners helped our defense out in this category, FYI)
TT #123 total defense

Yeah, we couldn't score 20 on El Paso High School.

You crappy fans don't deserve coach Strong.

He just needs more time.

Don't be sad, Art Briles will look good in purple and yellow.

He should go to Austin instead. That would be a KILLER combination
