I feel good about the thought of Gideon returning to the 40 Acres.

I agree. He started at Safety for 4 years, and while not among the best Texas Safeties, 4-year starter means something. Time to let the sting of the dropped interception in the 2008 Tceh game go. If the defense had played the first half the dropped interception would not have mattered.

Not trying to be a spoil sport, but here's some info on Kyle Flood:


Controversies over player misconduct[edit]
The 2015 football season was marred by alleged misconduct by Flood and the arrests on violent felony criminal charges of several players.[3] There were doubts that Flood would be coaching the season opener and some speculation amongst news media and fans about the possibility of Flood's firing or resignation.[4][5][6][7] The 15-member Rutgers Board of Governors, one of the school's two governing bodies, met with university president Robert Barchi on September 11 in a closed-door emergency session to discuss ongoing "athletic matters" and the potential for litigation.[8][9][10]

  • On May 24, 2015, redshirt freshman defensive back Darian Dailey was arrested in Florida on felony robbery charges.[11][12]
  • In late August 2015, Flood suspended five players for the first half of the season opener for breaking curfew.[13][14][15][16]
  • On September 3, 2015, six players were arrested and charged with felony assault, armed robbery, criminal restraint, conspiracy, riot, and weapons possession; these charges stemmed from an April 26, 2015 incident in New Brunswick, New Jersey characterized as a home invasion robbery.[13][17][18] Five players were dismissed from the team moments before the season-opening football game against the Norfolk State Spartans. [13][17] A sixth player was arrested a few days later.[18][19] Several arrested players had previous arrests for other criminal charges.[17]
  • One of the suspects in the home invasion robbery and assault was the center of an ongoing investigation into Flood for possible violations of school policy and NCAA regulations for claims that Flood contacting faculty regarding the academic status of a player.[13][17] Flood defied academic support staff by contacting a professor to attempt to establish the player's eligibility.[20] On September 16, 2015, the university-led investigation determined that Flood's conduct was improper and Barchi fined Flood $50,000 and suspended him for three games. Rutgers associate head coach Norries Wilson coached the three games against Penn State, Kansas, and Michigan State.[21][22]

I did not like what I read above. However, he is at Bama now and that seems to be working out OK. I can live with the staff at Bama moving to Texas. :)

I was there in the Tech alumni section. I cannot let it go.
However, happy to see alum on staff. Given his relative athleticism, Gideon must have had a 180 football IQ to be a 4 year starter.

But he still dropped an easy game winning, probable Heisman ensuring, B12 Championship berth ensuring and likely National Championship Game berth ensuring, interception.

All that said, he may very well be a damn good coach.

There were other factors in that loss.

Gideon is the current hot commodity at the ST position.

Shipley dropped what looked like a sure TD deep ball earlier in the game. O line was terrible in the first half, but, when it was time to close out the game... BG dropped it.

Painful memory, but he might be a really good coach.

I just looked at the winning drive by Tech.

1) Excellent kick-off return. Gave them good field position.
2) Clear push-off by Tech receiver for a first down. No call.
3) Gideon's drop.
4) The TD pass with 8 seconds left. The safety (Earl Thomas?) took a horrible angle.

Blake could have ended it, but it was just one play out of several on that drive alone that could have won it for the Horns.

All I know is, I realized yesterday I hadn't heard anything about a wife's house shopping, personal tastes or spending habits so I started thinking we may have the right man here

Earl and the other UT back that was also defending Crabtree are just as much to blame as poor Gideon. They both seemed to freeze. All they had to do was tackle him and the game was over.

The lead was 2. The TT kicker wasn't going to miss a field goal. Texas' only chance was at that end of the field was a turnover. Unfortunately, the interception didn't happen. They hurried up and threw it to Crabtree. He goes out of bounds, the clock stops, they kick a field goal and win by 1.

I admit it's been 12 years but I can still feel the agony of Gideon dropping that interception. I get it, move on, but if only it was Earl Thomas on that play.....

No one should be hired based on emotion. To get a job on UT staff, your previous coaching experience should be the benchmark. If that happens to be Gideon then so be it but enough of the I like him as a person/player. No more social justice hires.

Hire the best MF at whatever position you are interviewing for and ride him like a rented mule to the championship!

PS: ou sux!!
 
Since they’re done knocking Chris Simms for now, they’re back to slamming Blake Gideon for one darn play out of a good four year career.

We'll never know for sure, but it all depends . Crabtree scampered into the end zone with 1 second to go. If Thomas and Curtis Brown try to tackle him in the field of play.... who knows how long that takes. One thing is for sure, Earl Thomas didn't play like an NFL corner on that play. At least Brown tried to arm tackle him. It was a pretty sorry effort on both their parts.
 
I think in the LHN documentary of the season, Mack said Earl told him he didn't ant to get a penalty and claimed to have heard a whistle.
