The 2021 Football season

Perhaps I have been overly influenced by the negative recruiting messages, but your comments would be an absolute gold mine to me if I was recruiting against Texas. Excuse me son but do you realize that Texas is running a 2-4-5 defense. Yes but they told me that it is the same as a 4-2-5. Then why wouldn't they call it a 4-2-5? Well it does not matter because they will run the defense according the personnel. Well son here at (OU, OSU, Bama, fill in the blank) we know the defense we are going to run and this is how we are going to use you because this is what NFL teams do and we plan to get you into the NFL. How many players has Texas put in the NFL the past 10 years? Seems like every other year they bring in a new guy who is going to "fix" their defensive problems but he never does.

The other side of that argument is that Coach K can say the same thing to the recruits about the next layer of players that OU, OSU, and Bama would say about the DT. We just won’t recruit as many DT as they do and those three teams you mentioned won’t recruit as many LBers as us. That might be the reason we got three transfers at the same position with Thornton, Oghoufo, Ben Davis. My only concern at DT is if Brougton is ready to step up and fill in when our other three DTs need more rest in the second half of games. We are good with Corburn, Sweat, and Collins.

As far as the other coaches using our history of lack of players getting drafted against us with recruits that would be an argument about past coaches with different schemes. Those other coaches are going to do that no matter what the situation is. We have a great response now that we got new coaches with different schemes. They can show the stats that show how Coach K has a history of getting results quickly in ranking of his defenses and he has got players in the NFL. Watch this video about Coach K. It will make you feel better with what to expect out of our defense.

 
I'd rather have Mitchell here....unless he will remain a malcontent.
He was emerging as a real force and would continue to beside DeM0.
Needs to screw his head on right and walk through the open door..I hope he changes his mind(and heart) and remains.
But we are looking for a fresh start and if he cannot be a part of that for us.....so be it...likely be unfortunate for both parties.
 
Kids be dumb, I remember being his age and being dum as dog poop. Probably still am. The one thing some kids don't get is opportunity looking them in the face. Mitchell can't see it so he doesn't take advantage of it.

As far as I know, Texas is a very competitive place, maybe he needs to transfer to a less competitive school like UTSA who will give you a C for just showing up every class.

Sometimes you can’t fix stupid. It’s unfortunate but you have to move on.

Or they both stay because the nonstarter is an injury away from being the starter at THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS
Well anyway I see Thompson as the starter and going pro after a monster season.
I am still impressed with his jump step throw to Brewer in the Colorado game.
Card still has four seasons left to play (or five if he redshirts which I doubt).
But I do agree that Wright needs to be ready to play.

Monster season? Slow down on that kool-aid
 
Agree on Thompson, if he gets the start, he will have a monster season and likely go pro. However, Card is the better passer, but physically he isn't ready for the pounding he will take. This is why I want Thompson over Card right now. Unless Card is just too good to keep off the field, I see no reason to start him over Thompson who from the looks of things is a NFL quality QB in his own right.
 
I've talked Casey up long before most people on here thought anything of him, but I'd be shocked to see him in the NFL after 1 year of college ball.
 
I wouldn't be shocked. Casey showed me a small bit of his talent in the colorado game. He is accurate, he has a good deep ball, but the big thing is that he has a very quick release.

I will say this. He is a better passer than Jalen Hurts.

I think in this offense, if he is the starter he will be showcased enough to get drafted. Where? I have no idea.

However if I had to put my money on who would be the better QB, I'd dump it all on Hudson Card.

However, I don't think Hudson can take the pounding of a full season, not with our offensive line. This is why I want Thompson, he is more physically mature and ready for the college game.
 
Has anyone noticed the pattern that the players who were inconsistent on the field are the same ones who are inconsistent off the field?
 
Who contacts Smith will be instructive. If the bluebirds come calling the he will be the talented, high character guy I perceive.

DKR once said angry men win football games.

Intense, tough, grinding workouts produce hostile, angry, motivated and very hungry players that want to go out and kick ***, put on a show and win games.

If this is the Sark environment and what he is producing... there will be GREAT dividends this fall !! :hookem:
 
I can only remember one coach who won a NC his first year - Larry Coker at Miami for the 2001 season.

Many more have have won it in year 2 or 3- Stoops, Meyer at UF, Meyer at OSU, Saban at Bama, Gene Chizik at Auburn.

A good season this year is a win against OU, maybe 2 losses or less, and a good bowl. Then B12 and NC hunt in 22.

Good to see some sensibility here...
Good take.
I would be fine w beating OU and anything 9-3 plus a bowl win or better. I wouldn't have a heart attack (maybe just a little ventricular fib) at 8-4 plus a bowl win. Will be very happy(thrilled?)...and a bit surprised...with anything 10-2/11-2(including bowl) or better.
I expect some struggles and a slow start early, so if we don't see that it will be a great indicator of how quick the guys have taken to the new regime and system.
People expecting some amazing, Bama like, world beater season better temper their expectations quick.
