Longhorn News/Discussion (Non-Recruiting)

Irregardless of It being Jones or Marrion as the wr coach, unless he can develop Harrison, Alexis, Dixon, Possibly Red, Cain, and Thompson to go with Worthy. Whitt had had injuries, but last year it was due to him trying to catch an uncatchable pass at the 10 yd. line against blowu.   We need maybe 1 or 2 wr un the portal  if they fit what Sark desires if not no worries weith what we have either.

I hate to keep banging on this, but there is a BIG difference in "very good hands" and Duvernay hands. If he could touch it he caught it.

Yea, I think we might be just a wee bit premature with the Red/Duvernay comparisons.

I don't think its a good comparison to begin with. Duverynay had better speed, but it was straight-line speed. He wasn't that special moving laterally or having the quick cuts, etc. But I think I saw him miss one pass during his career at Texas. That is special.

Red doesn't have great straight-line speed. His advantage comes from being quick and shifty, having vision, and being extremely coordinated. He can play a variety of positions, including QB. So he's a different animal altogether. I think his prospects of being somebody at UT are high.

Sounds like a Quan Cosby.  He looks to have the same build as Quan.

He's much bigger in the legs. Looks like a smaller version of Earl Campbell to me.

On Coach Marion of Pitt...

 

[TFloss32]

IT had a post this morning on general managers becoming a thing in college football.

It seemed like some foreshadowing for a Gary Patterson hire, but we'll see.

I saw that. It seems like such an odd role for him to take on.

CB Darion Dunn going pro.

On Coach Marion of Pitt...

IT saying all signs continue to point to Marion as the next WRs coach.

They believe it will happen tomorrow, at the latest, since Pitt plays tonight.

Sark supposedly met with him in Atlanta (where Pitt's bowl game is) earlier in the week, but I couldn't find any confirmation of that.

I trust in Sark, but does anyone know if Marion has successfully developed more people than Addison?  Trying to figure out if it is the player that would succeed regardless of the coach, or the coach correcting issues that made Addison blossom (or both).  The offensive improvement can be due to so many reasons that it is hard to tell.  Was it the OC, the line, the qb, etc.

 

[Coot]

I think Marion has developed an offensive scheme (Go-Go) which has impressed a lot of people. Sark may be very interested in that as well.

 

[TFloss32]

Marion to Texas.

 

[Austin Horn]

I like this hire
