Can somebody, anybody around here, please explain to me what just happened?

[Rick Casares]

First there was all that crap about Saban coming to Texas, then Mac stomps his feet and refuses resign as promised and we have to go through all that nonsense and now, we simply overlook or otherwise fail to hire one of more than a half dozen qualified OC's then, we get all but promised that Morris was in the bag and here we are, poop slapped again, with an OC that hasn't called plays since the 80's just so we can save some pocket money on his contract buyout! Did I miss anything? And what the hell does this do to our chances for landing a top rated QB who wants a an OL coach to call plays for him!

I need a drink! I can't believe even an aggy could mess things up this bad!

PS - we need an icon that is drinking from a liquor bottle. It is my personal opinion it will get lots of use!

Dude Wickline has called plays for a few OSU the last few yrs.

I can explain. Patterson got his guy. It wasnt Saban. He came in, hired a solid staff while the top two or three in the country didnt want to come, probably saved us from having to make everyone learn a new offense two years in a row, kept us all out of the loop, and then ended the country club atmosphere with a vengeance.

That about sums it up. Onward and upward.

That's some good stuff there man...

This type of question belongs on OB. Most of what you're taking as fact was gossip. Whisenant explained it best.

It's going to be okay. We're about to see a brand of Texas Football we haven't seen in a very long time. It's time to move forward and support Coach Strong and the team. And time to trust Coach's decisions. He deserves that from us.

What happen.... we woke up and we had not 1, not 2, but three offensive coordinators.... Like the great Harbaugh's say.... "Who's got it better than us? Nooooobody!"

If this is all that it takes to drive you to drinking then I'm guessing you have just awaken from a 4 year drinking binge and drunken state. No wonder you are asking "what just happened?"

By now, explanations border on the philosophical. Difficult to offer an assessment that might register with everyone's thinking. Maybe only register to one person's thinking.

I like the hire. And the staff. However, until skins are on the wall.... it's theory waiting for results. I can follow up come December. See if I had a good vision about it.

Your problem is believing the stories about the hiring process and who was available and who was contacted, etc. based on internet rumor from "insiders".

If you form your opinion based on pure speculation, this is what happens.
