Good grief, does any team waste more talent than Texas?

  • To get back on topic from my previous posts...

    Texas struggles because many of their prospects are overrated. On top of that, their depth hurts them (hard to believe as a Tennessee fan). When they bring in new guys, they sit for almost 2 years without any real playing time. Their depth links well with lack of player development in the program.Texas will eventually be back on top of the Big XII...once they get a new coach.

    With this Santos thing I have been looking at Texas commitments this year and in past years. How the hell does Mack Brown keep his job? At least 75% of the team is 4 and 5 star guys and they have a cake schedule playing in the Big 12. And still they can't win it? I used to think Georgia wasted more talent than any team that I have seen but they look like Bama compared to Texas. They would dominate college football if they had a real football coach. There must be some serious good ole boy networking going on there for Brown to get an extension. Of all the coaches in D-1 he may deserve to get fired more than any other coach.

    Sour grapes?

  • Hate to say I told u boys, but I told you. There was no way you were going to keep a Texas boy that grew up a Horn fan away from ( If Texas wants him ) UT. You gave us the GREAT Davy Crockett and we thank you again.... GTT (As Davy said " You can all go to hell cause I'M Goin to Texas)!

    Please, follow their example and go back to the Texas board.

  • A lot of people give Georgia a hard time about wasting talent, but at least Georgia fans can be confident that the program seems to be on the way back up ...Texas can't say the same.

    I am not going to let this guy get under my skin. Sure, I am disappointed we lost Santos, but apparently fans like this guy are very insecure in that he has to come to another board to gloat about "stealing" a home town boy.

    As long as we don't have any more defections and can pick up one or two of the top targets we're pursuing, Big Orange football is still on the way back up, despite the loss of one commit.

  • No, Texas should never have a 5-7 season like they had two years ago with the talent in their backyard and how easy it is for them to get it. I would even say with all that talent in the Big 12 that a 7-5 should never happen either.

    What kills me is that the Big 12, except for Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, is mediocre (please, don't start about Baylor and Kansas State) and the entire conference dances to Texas' tune. And still Texas - with all that talent - goes 4-5 in the conference (even behind Missouri) and Mack Brown gets an extension? If that happens in the SEC he gets run out of town with his butt on fire.

    I mean, we really need Santos so he can start playing soon but at Texas he has two 5-guys and a 4-star guy ahead of him at ILB and I lost count of how many 4 and 5 star OLBs they have. He probably doesn't even see the field for at least 2 years (RS+RSF) and even then only as a special teamer. I don't blame Texas for taking him if they can, he's a really good player. But at least do some player development so he isn't another wasted talent.

    First off i whould like to start with the fact that alot of Vol fans have posted on our board as of late and they all were very classy and polite.I was very impressed as we are used to dealing with dumb aggys and sooners are even worse.As for Mack though he has won two Rose bowls and two Fiesta bowls and many others.A national title to boot and i think we can all agree the game against the tide could have been different if colt hadnt got hurt.Not saying we whould have won but we were down bye 4 with five minutes to go with a QB that had never played a game.We have had a tremendous amount of sucess over the last 12 years.Mack himself said he and the staff got to relaxed and felt a sense of entitlment that bit em in the ass.He has since put together a staff of well respected Sec coaches.One was Alabamas line coach and Many Diaz which was the hottest DC in the Sec at the time.Bryin Harsin was the brain child behind Boise states offense.So dont put us in the grave just yet,Johnathon Gray broke every rushing record in the state and country.So the next Adrian Peterson about to be unleashed on the country.Mack has 48 guys actively playing in the NFL.One bad year does not make Mack a bad coach.After 8-5 and a holiday bowl win with 19 true freshman in the game i whould say we have alot to be exited about.Again thanks for the classy post on our board both schools are class acts and we wish you all the sucsess in the world smashing dumb aggy into the ground. WAIT TILL YOU GET A LOAD OF THERE ALL MALE CHEERLEADING SQAUD.
