That's what I call a great landing. Happy for Duane.

He coached a BUNCH of Texas players who made it into the NFL and who continue to play well there. The man can coach. Good for him!

good for Akina....good DB coach

The Yard Dog will be barking in Palo Alto. Congrats to Coach Akina!

 

[BruiseLee]

As his resume precedes him, I hope he doesn't sway any Texas DB recruits to Stanford.

Glad to see him land at such a great place. I'm very happy for him!

Strong made a mistake not keeping Akina. Just like I now believe we made a mistake hiring Strong.

Disagree. It was time for a change of scenery IMO.

I don't think either of those was a mistake. This program needed a new identity very badly. Personally, I was in favor of a complete staff turnover. While I was most certainly a fan of Akina, I think there needed to be a change made there as well. And we hardly replaced Akina with a shlump. Bedford is a Texas-Ex that has a deep love for the Longhorn Brand. He's going to have those boys playing just as well as Akina, if not better.

I think you will change you mind after the first 4 games of this football season.....HOOK'EM and OU Sucks

There hasn't been a single practice, let alone game, and you have come to that conclusion?

God, make it stop.
