in deed he is. Home town of yours truely and Lincoln. He graduated with my brother and is top notch. Guy has a photographic memory and was on my original list. I actually tried to pull any strings I had to get dodge to hire him when they were all let go at Tech.  I'll promise you this, if we don't hire him, we will look back at him like we do harbaugh one day. 

 

 

Yes!  It must have been you posting those things back in the day.  I remembered it being someone with connections to him directly.

He called us.

I figured he would have interest in the job.  I like him better than Briles for sure.
1.  Leach disciple.
2.  Extensive time as an OC for the best team in C-USA (certainly the best offense while he was there).  Learned HC strategies from a defensive-minded HC.
3.  Was chosen as OC by Bob Stoops and has no doubt gained valuable new ideas under his brief tutelage.

 

Abilene is part of West Texas because Abilene High/Cooper were in the Little SWC along with Midland High/Lee and Odessa High/Permian.

 

For all intents & purposes, once you cross the Brazos on I-20, you're in 'West Texas'.   Abilene calls their area the 'Big Country'.

If I'm not mistaken, Ruffin McNeil, Riley's boss at ECU, was a defensive coordinator as well.  So, he's had two guys to buffer Leach's ridiculous go-for-it-on-fourth/damn-my-defense's-lung-capacity mentality.

Also, I think Norvell's boss, Graham, was a defensive guy.  So, I think either - in theory - won't be as reckless as Leach has been throughout his career about putting his defense out on the field too often.

This kind of got me excited so I guess that means I'd be happy if he were to get the job. 

By contrast, a post the other day about Briles made me a bit uneasy.  As I mentioned before, Briles was who I initially thought of when I heard the news about Mac.

I guess Riley is the leader in the clubhouse for me, but there are a few names mentioned that I would be on board with as well.

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
