With no Will and no Parson available, I wonder if we will be cautious about running Wright.
He's thrown it 11 times though. If he was starting all year that would be a hell of a stat.
We need to be but we cannot be. That is his game. If you tell him to stay in the pocket, you cut off the one kind of advantage he has as a QBQuote:

A third qb, if you count parsonQuote:

For comparison, les miles DA won 77% of his games at lsu. Both top jobs. One won 77% and was a moron. The other won 63% and got fired after 4 unacceptable seasons. Yeah. Sign me up for that.
Nah. This state team will find a way to 17 it up probably. Lol
Fostered a deteriorating culture in the locker room and lost big time commits to programs outside the state. Then the losses vs unranked teams hurt his backing as well.Quote:

He pissed off the boosters by being Lane Kiffinish at Texas. Basically told them all to **** off. That’s exactly what we need.Quote:

Players on the team informed the AD they were leaving or going to leave the program because of him and the culture he allowed. This has been known for a while now.Quote:

I would have top 10 classes at texas.Quote:

Texas and OK are the only two top 30 recruiters in the Big 12 per college football matrix. Two! That's it! Two! All 7 sec west teams are top 30 recruiters. Averaging 8-4 at texas isn't hard.
He won 63% of his games. At Texas. He absolute got fired for not winning enough. If you don't believe that, then we can stop arguing bc you're living in a dream world.Quote:

He won 10 games his second year. He’s a good coach. What if OM didn’t hire Kiffin because of his usc time? He was the hottest coach on the planet 5 years ago and he stepped into a program where boosters are absolutely atrocious. Everyone sucks there. It’s not a Herman problem.Quote:
