Thanks for the info, McPhaul!

I must have missed it, but who did Major get into it with before Porter?

The student trainer.

good information....McPhaul, lets run with it.

 

[Hoekem]

I could definitely see how Major could rub the coaches the wrong way...hell he rubs me the wrong way and I'm relaxing on my sofa.

During his post game press conferences he seems annoyed/pissed at the same time and acts like there are a 1000 places he'd rather be...

I am tired of caring about the program in its present state so I have decided to start ranting about the media relations people inside Bellmont, specifically Nick Voinis and Bill Little. I don't know either of them, but from what people on the board have said. Nick is a prick and Bill is a rather nice individual. I don't think either has a freaking clue how to use social media to connect the fans with the sports programs. Their obsession with what is being said is reason enough in my mind to remove them from the payroll. Think about it. They could get a student intern with a digital camera to take pictures of the gameday experience showing how the staff gets ready, what the locker rooms look like, during the pregame meal, in the tunnel about to come out, sidelines during the game and clean up after. The program from a unique perspective. No cost. It would have most of us occupied for a couple of hours per week, let recruits see inside the program and help the fans connect with the through social media. Do they do something like that, no. Instead, they hover over message boards obsessing with the effects of their lousy job performance. I could come up with a hundred ways to use media to help the fans connect with the programs. They can't come up with any. I hope Patterson cleans house in Bellmont and I hope he does it ruthlessly. Whoever the new coach is, I hope we give him a program he is worthy of and I hope he starts rebuilding soon.

Damn, R Duke brings it!

From what I know of him, I'd be good with Mora. Partially prefer him to Saban, with what he's been able to accomplish at UCLA in such a short amount of time. Granted, part of that can be attributed to the downfall of SC during his tenure.

I can also see most of the people in the room 'talking Mack out' of his retirement decision. Those people are presumably pretty close with one another and everybody knows what needs to happen, but they're not going to kick dirt on him in the process, nor do they need to. Just my uninformed opinion.

Thanks for the post! Always enjoy it, McPhaul!

Luck had the AD job until they Patterson is hired? Saban is coming to Austin. It's a done deal, until it went to 60% and now back to 100%?
I keep reading all these "Insider Material" and it makes me wonder? It's not like anyone cares what I think anymore, but so far I see a lot of talk and not one tangible thing?

OK..I give up..who is McPhaul and why should anyone pay any attention to the man?

How are you beev? Most of the folks if not all know me from my postings on OB's. For years now I have been sharing information pertaining to the program. Unlike most of the posters that share what they hear from their sources, I don't and have never used an anonymous name. I was invited and joined Hornsports a little over a month ago and quite frankly, the timing was perfect because I was looking for a new place to build something that included more interaction with the common poster. As you can see, a good portion of that crowd has followed me over here and I believe they too are enjoying what they are receiving from this site.

I do not profess to a authoritative source of all the information I'm sharing. I have been tagged as an Insider which I have always stated that I am not. I have had some pretty good sources over the years that have been nice enough to share information which I pass on. I'm more or less a conduit.

My sources have not always been correct. They share what is current information and I pass that on. Situations can be fluid and they can change. Most of our readers understand this. Regardless, they have requested that I share what I'm hearing now. Most of the users are also aware that our track record has been pretty damn good to us all over the years or they would not have followed me over here.

I hope you can enjoy some of it to but, if you don't, no hard feelings.

Thanks, McPhaul. I always look forward to reading your postings. Keep up the GREAT work.

He was getting into with Wyatt on a regular basis early in the season. Wyatt prefers a more vertical passing game. Major gets obsessed with the bubble and tunnel screens. Major also has gotten into with Searles because of Major's tendency to go away from the running game too much at times when that is our strength after the injury to Ash occurred.

beto,

Good to see you over here!!

We can't have a vertical passing game with Case. We had it with Ash but the two goatf**ks (BYU, OM) and Ash getting hurt blew everything to smithereens. In retrospect, the Ash injury was the final nail. We could survive losing Hicks and even Gray and Whaley but having a bozo QB with no viable replacement has dictated what we do.

I'm sure people have noticed that Case has, not once this season, run for it. They're terrified of him getting hurt which is understandable. So, the herp-derp run we saw in the last Aggie game is a thing of the past. This makes it even easier to defend us.

You are right and that is why we are facing nine men in the box. When you think about it, our O line has done a pretty good job this year.

This is also why we should turn TS loose against TT. They are weak against the run. With the ZR and a good running QB, we can get by with minimal passing.

beto, great to see you over here....how's Andrew doing in fantasy football this season?

 

[unclejemimah]

Good stuff as usual McPhaul! Thanks for sharing.

I find it mildly ironic that all we heard last year after Harsin left was how he and Major struggled working together because he wouldn't take Major's input. And now Major gets the gig and is having the same issues with his offensive staff.

Looks like I'm about to get to writing a quick piece on Jim Mora, Jr.

Looking forward to that. I know very little about the guy.
