Hey dip****, go ahead and educate us on all the defensive studs "God's gift to college footbal" Art Briles has recruited in his entire head coaching career. I'm gonna go out on a limb an guess that the Cobra brought in more last year then "God's gift to college football" Art Briles has in his entire career combined.

It's cute how desperate y'all are to sell perennial doormat Baylor as a legitimate power just because y'all have become their *****. If Art Briles is really that good then y'all just hired the wrong coach.

Mack never stopped bringing in elite defensive talent, but that didn’t stop a one-legged white boy on BYU from recreating the Mormon’s march West on our defense.

You have to coach it once it gets to campus. Sumlin has never shown an ability to field a decent defense. Mack relied heavily on coordinators because Mack had no identity other than being soft, so a coordinator could come in and establish the unit identity. Sumlin is not like that. His teams have an identity because he is both the head coach and the master of the offense.

You guys are pretty salty about a guy who has conference championship and BCS rings piloting an inferior program. Give the man props, he’s earned them by being a ****ing champion wherever he stalks the sidelines.

Briles fields better defenses than Sumlin, even when Briles was rebuilding the dumpster fire at UH.

8:19 on a Saturday night you're showing Aggies what's up

Sweet life, tsip

Look at you defending Baylor. What a life! Wifey go there or are you just so *********ashamed of your recent struggles against Baylor that you feel the need to defend the tiny little Baptist school?

Strong is just the other side of the Briles coin.

So Briles said no? See that's where you dumbasses screwed up. If Strong and Briles were basically the same, then why didn't you hire Briles and drive a stake in your fiercest conference competitor? Oh that's right, you felt like you needed to hire a coach to compete with Daddy.

No idea why we didn't hire Briles. Maybe he said no. Maybe we didn't offer. Maybe the powers that be wanted a focus on defense instead of bringing in an offense guy. I can't blame them if that was their thinking. I really liked our Top 10 defenses when we had them.

Word is that Briles was told he would be one of several candidates and he said **** that.

Hard to blame Art for demanding to be given the job without interviewing considering where he is now. Wouldn't look good or go over well.

...so he actually just said "thanks but no thanks, I'm good!"

Bwahahaha

That's true. Whether coach speak or not, his statement to the Baylor BOR was:

"At Texas, I'd be the 4th or 5th guy they want. Here, I know I'm the first choice."

An unsung benefit of Patterson hiring Strong is the ouster of Jamail and McCombs from running the show.

If you're an AD you go out, find the guy you want, and hire him. Briles is too good to be anyone's 4th or 5th choice. The fact that the Saban bull**** took up anyone's time was a sign that our entire management system was completely broken.

Tom Jurich at Louisville does it right. Find your target, **** everyone else, and go right to your target.

The unsung benefit?

Time will tell, but I think Strong was the wrong guy. Franklin was the guy that scared me.

But, to think that a guy with his name on the field won't have an apron in the kitchen is a bit foolhardy.

I'm sure Jamail and McCombs will come back at some point, but Patterson shut them clean out of the process in a way they hadn't been denied in well over a decade.

Whatever they have influence over now will be dramatically limited relative to what they were used to. There's not a snowball's chance in hell Strong is talking to those two every single day like Mack was.

Also, no thanks on Franklin. He would be a recruiting master, but I've had enough of Mr. Football for now. His teeth might be whiter than Mack's, but that constant smile and clap-clap-clap demeanor would turn Texas fans off in a very big way. I hope he does well at PSU, but we just couldn't handle another Mack.

D X Bible shut Stark out as well, but you nimrods still let that spoiled kid claim he named your team.

OK BT is the Duece.

So what about our 2012 D that held OU to 14 points?

If you look at the real defensive numbers we put up with our starting defense, that sometimes played a little more then half you will find them quite impressive.

We lost a ton off that Defense and just didn't have much behind to replace it.

Here is an example, in 2012 we were beating the absolute dog doo out of Sam, It was some 40+ to nothing at half time.

We pulled our starters on D, where we had very little depth and they proceeded to score 28 points on our second unit. That was sign of concern for guys like me who know something about the game. When our second D get lit up by Sam it show we have little depth.

Same could be said for Mizzou and lot of other games where we were just dominating, pulled the D and gave up points. LA Tech a phenominal 2012 offense scored 40+ on us but we had two key starters suspended and one injured on D.

BT you are friggin football idiot.

Defensive football is more effected by recruiting top talent then offense, where you can scheme up things to cover weaknesses

You are not going to recruit 4 star defensive talent to UH. We have already fielded a solid D under Snyder in 2012, had to play a boat load of freshman in 2013 had a few injuries and discipline issues, (we do that sort of thing at A&M and not just to the scrubs) and field a badly undermanned D.

A&M is recruiting really top notch D players now. Flipped two of tu's best just this last class.

When they grow up our year or two what we'll field a top flight defense.

As I said you better pray pray pray we falter this year. Because if we don't by 2015 we'll have the states best talent on lock down.

BT likes to use Randy's talking points. Forget about the 2012 D, it doesn't fit their narrative.

The 2012 defense was decent. Let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

If you guys were playing a different schedule you might have a point, but you're being outrecruited by your division opponents and they have better coaches than you.

I'm glad you guys are optimistic, but the lack of skepticism and the lack of doubt are amusing.

Got it

The Mental Midget should tackle the history of uncover and determine once and for all if it's tradition or not. It's not, but it would be nice to have The Mental Midget weigh in and share years of research with us in a few years. I can wait.

Sumlin has never fielded a decent defense and therefore is incapable of doing so

except 2012 which was decent.

Got it

I'm trying to be nice about how proud you guys are of a defense that wasn't even Top 50 in the country.

Les miles a better coach? Obvious troll is obvious.

Yeah, you're right, the guy with 2 NCs and 2 CCs ain't got **** on the Swagmaster.

Except the superior recruiting classes.

And the 2-0 record vs. Sumlin.

hmm...

He eats grass?

Every one of you dip****s were spouting off your peen holster mouths about Manny Diaz last off season, how much better his defense was going to be with all those starters returning.

Your defense absolutely sucked this year, yet somehow it's going to be vastly improved because you hired a DC that was fired from his last b12 DC gig and have a coach that gave up 38 in a loss to the only ranked team he played.

Stupid tsips.

Hiding under LSU's skirt with the rest of your ilk because you can't beat baylor

The dumb **** you just said is the opposite of the truth. Manny Diaz led the worst defense in Texas history in 2012 and we ****ing hated him all last offseason.

As I said before, coordinators mattered under Mack because Mack wasn't actually a football coach. He was an executive. It ain't the same with Sumlin. Sumlin is a coach, an amazing offensive coach. This gives his teams a clear identity on the field.

You're so unbelievably full of ****.

Y'all were talking MASSIVE amounts of **** about how great your defense would be.

The most you got out of a Longhorn last offseason was the hope that it would be improved because it could not be worse.

BT is the duece and cannot read, he does what all sips do, selectively pick out stats that he can use to prop up his delusional viewpoint.

Our defense in 2012 would of been much better stat wise if we didn't pull the starter after curb stomping a number of opponents by the first half.


I am very happy with our defensive recruiting and it is going to make a difference, I know we are going to field a top flight offense, even without Manziel.

Our defense only has to be in the 50's to finish in the top 5 in the nation and compete for championships.

Even last year when devoid of D talent it took a missed PI call against Bama and missed Horse collar against Auburn to give the Ags those two losses.

If you really don't think we are going to continue to close the gap on our main rivals well ,,, It just means your a sip.

Our rivals were much more talented then us espeically on the D side of the ball. We are narrowing the gap expeditiously. We don't need to be number one, just be in the same room.

Sumlin's superioor offensive mind will make up any difference. We just need talent on Defense to upgrade it, and WE RACKING THAT IN and much of it at tu's expense.

By your ever shifting logic, Miles is a much better coach than Strong. Why didn't he even come up during the coaching search of a generation?

les's name was definitely mentioned.
