Absolutely - This is why we will continue to SUCK
Most of you simply don't get it and are part of the problem. This is EXACTLY why no one can be successful coaching at Texas because no coach is truly given the authority to just do his job and coach football. Some rich UT alumni is always watching in the bushes.waiting to pounce if you irritate him in the slightest bit.
How dare you offend the Texas legacy?

The trouble with these sip fools is they can't realize, there is no more Darelll Royals hanging around. Matter of fact Royal had all the $$$ he wanted and with unlimited scholarships he could get all the players he wanted, sometimes to have players sitting on the bench just prevent them from playing against him.

This- since the modern era (early 70s with the intriduction of scholly limits and admittance of the black athlete in numbers, Ags and 'sips are virtually tied. A&M would have a commanding lead by niw
had the series not been stopped.
Some there are starting to understand just hiw much things have shifted. That toothpaste aint EVER jumping back in the tube.

I'm positive that Stoops and Venable defensive failures at OU were more about poor recruiting than coaching. Stoops and Venables success as a tandem in the early years at OU was both good coaching and excellent recruiting. Bob Stoops was a very good head coach. However in the middle of his years at OU his ability to recruit defensive players significantly dropped off, even offensive recruiting dropped off, but not at the level as in defense. Riley firing Mike and hiring Grinch has paid off in huge dividends in defensive recruiting. Riley's offensive recruiting is off the charts. Also, part of Bob Stoops mid-career hiring significantly dropped off, especially on defense. Four years of DL coaches really hurt consistency.Emilio Fantastico said:
But didn't Stoops suck as a DC after his head coaching stint? I thought the ou fan opinion was it was all Venebles back when ou had a defense and Stoops by himself sucked.

I think that Venables success at Clemson is more related to his ability to recruit defensive players than it is coaching.
