Nah, Caldwell is a senior,while Arch is a redshirt sophomore. So no matter how well Caldwell plays, it's Arch's job when he's ready.

Not only was tenesee struggling at that point, but he had ties to usc (same ties as Sark i.e. 2 natties). It definitely wasn't a good look to leave after 1 year. Kiffin is significantly older now, and I suspect he is less inclined to make any crazy moves like that. But since he has been at Ole...

Kiffin will make lots of money in the coming years if he stays or not, so I would be surprised if money is the determining factor. I would guess that if he accepts the Florida job, it will because he believes he has a better chance of winning a natty there. My guess is he stays, after Ole Miss...

No matter what Kiffin does, he and Jimmy Sexton are going to make a bunch of money, as are all of the current coaches that are viewed as desirable. I guess it's capitalism. It seems to me that offset clauses (like what James Franklin had) and performance clauses should be the norm. Heck even...

Mountain West Colorado State fires their HC. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/colorado-state-fires-jay-norvell-rams-move-on-from-fourth-year-coach-after-2-5-start/

I remember a few years back the view was that the academic standards make it a difficult place for recruiting. Not sure if that's still viewed as an issue.

The coaching carousel seems to be gaining momentum. So far Oklahoma State ,Arkansas , Penn State and Florida. Up next Florida State,Auburn Wisconsin, Maryland...? I don't have any insight into who these schools will hire, but Thought it would make a good thread.

Given how offensively the O was playing, and how good Mason Shipley is, IMHO Texas should have kicked the FG on their first play in OT. Thankfully it didn't matter.

Given that he made the semis last year, and that his buyout was 49 million, I'm surprised by the move. Seems like they could have at least waited until after the Ohio State game on November 1 to pull the trigger. I guess they decided his cieling wasn't natty level, and that's what they covet...

With the losses to Ohio State and Florida, Texas likely needs to win out to make the playoffs. Had Texas played a lesser opponent in week 1, they likely would make the playoffs with another loss. All the talk about not penalizing a team for playing a tougher schedule is just talk at this...

Pen State fires James Franklin. Pen State hired Franklin after Texas chose Charlie Strong over Franklin. I sometimes wonder how Franklin would have done at Texas, he likely would have done better then Charlie Strong...

He seemed to throw the ball well enough in terms of velocity etc. It seems to me that him not being able to practice for most off the last 3 weeks likely impacted his accuracy and timing.

Him being cleared on Thursday , implies he only had 2 practices in the last 3 weeks. To claim that without the broken hand ou would have won is silly. It's also silly to say with any certainty that Texas would have still won had he not had the injury. What we do know is that the ou staff...

Just what the doctor ordered. The season is now back on track.

I believe that f the defender rips off the helmet then it's a penalty, and the player can stay in the game, and no 10 second run off. I didn't see what caused Arch's helmet to come off, but no penalty was called.

It's not clear to me what this changes. It indicates the conference would still get do all that it does today. It talks some about some conference wide sponsorships, but that doesn't sound like something that requires outside equity to accomplish. Maybe it's just a way for them to get some...

Yeah like most, I only heard the snippet. The snippet without context is like many viral snippets, misleading.

I like the way Sark addresses athletes that aren't working out way better. I see no benefit to trashing a player, that isn't working out. For example: Steve Sarkisian stated that the departure of wide receiver Johntay Cook from the Texas program was a mutual decision, expressing respect for...

An interesting follow up question would have been "was he going to the bathroom "

A bit early in the season to write the obituary for Gundy or Napier. Obviously a disappointing season for either would be difficult to come back from. Firing Gundy would be a bit like Texas firing Mack Brown. Maybe time for the change, but all of the past success makes it hard.
