I don’t care what anyone in the AD said when Morris was hired or preseason. Most of that is just coach speak.
It’s very clear just by watching our games that the terrible defense from last year is a rebuild. It’s going to take getting the right players to make it better. We haven’t done that. For me that’s a result of the recruits the old staff brought in and the new staff not finding what they needed via the portal.
Offense was not a rebuild. It was a quarterback and playmaker or 2 away from being really good. The new staff addressed that with great success.
It’s also very evident that the AAC has some pretty terrible defenses across the board.

You can’t fix this defense without new players. It doesn’t matter what scheme you run. We just don’t have the players we need to improve this defense. The cupboard is just that bare on the defensive side of the ball. Firing Caponi won’t do any good mid-season. It really just is what it is. We are just going to have to take our lumps and find players who can beef up the defense.

Skladany is the best DC we have had in the last 20 years by far
I may be misremembering, but I feel like maybe there was a decent season with Reffett and a decent season with PB but the rest have been awful.

Seriously, whatever we do at halftime must be legendary.

Agree and disagree; there is no question we don't have the right players, but if you model after Iowa State, they have proven you don't need the highest-rated player but players that fit the system.
K-State is having some success running it without blue chip athletes too.

I am confused by this response. You're saying that an AD should have no say in who a new head coach hires as his top assistants?
I’m not saying no say, but at the end of the day, you have to let them make the hire they think is best.

Honest question. Should Jared have put his foot down when Morris wanted to hire a DC with no coordinator experience, or do you let the new HC hire who he wants?
Hell no. If you feel a need to tell someone who supervises people that they can or can’t hire someone, you need to fire the supervisor.

The starting point for this defense was awful and they lost the best players from that awful defense. This bad defense was just sitting there waiting to happen.

The personnel on the defensive side of the ball needs so many upgrades. WOW

I mean, what other in-state Texas rivalry would really compare? You're not wrong that OU will still be the biggest rivalry game of Texas' season, but A&M would have to be #2. And UT would be A&M's #1. It will be a big deal when that rivalry restarts.
That’s fair

From 2024 onward, UT vs A$M will once again be Texas' best and fiercest rivalry.
Will it? Texas really only cares about OU and they’ve dominated A&M historically. The Texas fans I know haven’t really cared about the Aggies very much. It’s pretty one sided.

You're pretty poorly informed if you believe those schools face the same branding challenges that North Texas does.
I didn’t say they do. My point is just that even some of the “big boys” whose uniforms have seemed untouchable have felt the need to give a little on this aspect of recruiting.

and the 'No' on student fees
I actually think we're making a bigger deal out of the student fee thing than it is. They already get $14M from student fees compared to our $13.2M. It was a "no" to an increase, not a "no" to student fees.

programs like Alabama, Texas, USC, Ohio State, Michigan
Even Ohio State and Michigan have used alternate uniforms. USC has even teased a potential change to theirs on a recruiting weekend.

Thais is certainly the game I hate to lose the most. And I had kind of forgotten how even the series has been.

I feel like a broken record… start fast, score early, don’t ever take your foot off the gas

Generally true...but there are occasions where players are more inspired by a particular color.
I don’t buy it.

The other thread about this wasn’t good enough?

No jersey has ever won or lost a game

What are they batting?

Always sign the best athlete. I don’t care if they’re high school, transfer, or didn’t touch a football until last week. I’m all in for anyone who makes this team better. If they make next year’s team better, I don’t care if they transfer at the end of next season. That’s just going to be part of life in today’s college football. You just have to have a pipeline ready to go so you have the next guy ready.

I’m pretty sure coordinators here have been on 2 year deals.

I read the big sticking point is UH put "Houston" on the jerseys. Apparently, using the color scheme AND "Houston" is enough for the NFL to consider it trademark infringement.
I hope UH challenges this and tells the NFL to go kick rocks.

How would YOU fix this defense?

I’m not going to pretend I know enough about either of those programs to know if the interim OC at Arkansas had anything to do with that win today or what the talent level of the Arkansas players is.
