I continuously see Bean labeled as our speedy QB, or that he has freakish athleticism, or he's a guy who could play WR for us..am I the only one who wonders where these labels came from and why he's the only one who gets them?  Now, I'll admit I didn't actually see any of his game time from this past season as it happened, so my opinion is solely based on the film and facts I can find.  What I see on film is a a player who is decently fast, but not freakish or breakaway speed.  He has a 4.65 40 yard dash on record from HS, which is respectable but I'm not sure how much damage that could do as a college WR.  Aune looks just as athletic in his HS tape, but the main difference is arm strength and that Aune gets away from pressure looking to throw while Bean looks to run.

Since a few people were throwing their QB thoughts out there I figured I'd put mine out there as well and see if I was alone in wondering why we constantly describe Bean in this way.  Just my opinion, and I would love to be shown something that could help me understand.

Bean: I always wondered what happened his senior year in high school.  From what I have seen, his arm is a concern but his speed and athleticism is off the charts which makes him intriguing.

The story I heard was he was replaced by the coaches son...  under questionable circumstances.  Can't vouch for the accuracy of that cause I was not there.

I will say this, it's a damn shame that Jason and Aune have not been given at least some reps in their time here.  Littrell threw them into the wolves against against the aggies in the bowl game and it showed that they had very little prep. 

The timing of Covid affected the normal QB attrition point of spring training.  Now we have too many QB's for the limited available reps in my opinion.

He finished 3rd in Texas 5A in the 100m as a Senior at Lake Ridge.    He's fast.

We saw the emergence of Siggers last year, and when Littrell got here, he rode Wilson hard because that's who his main weapon was.   Littrell may run an Air Raid, but he can definitely be run-heavy if he wants to.  He's not going to try and punch the square peg into the round hole.    If Bean/Aune/whoever gets to 3k yds, I'll be surprised.   Heck, Fine barely did last year.

To state the obvious, a lot of this will be dependent on how the line does.

Kuehne: I honestly don't know what we have here.  I have always felt, in the back of my mind, that the offer was done for Ernie's sake.  He had pretty good stats, but I have no idea what kind of competition he faced at Owasso.

He was not offered because of Ernie.  He was offered because Seth loves the kid and he’s a winner.   He had 8 published offers plus 3 more...he is the only QB ever offered by a Big 10 school that I am aware of. Not to mention he was the 1st team QB for the state of Oklahoma for 2 years.  He also won the state championship at Owasso.  Also need to be said that Kuehne while not as fast as Bean has very good wheels.  Please don’t underestimate this kid he is a winner!

Wow, never knew that.  Pretty shocking that his 40 time isn't a lot lower with that kind of straight line speed, but maybe he just had a bad day at that camp.  Thanks for the info.

Although, he only has a few college plays, he has made it evident he is very fast. 

40 speeds are all suspect, a legit track time is a much better gauge every time..

Put those legs to use and make him a WR.

Noticed that Littrell did not even mention Bean in his recent commentary

Not a good sign, mentioned the other scholarship QB's

Could be a coaching game or an oversight; but does not bode well for Bean as the future QB

Did he mention Aune? I thought I only heard him mention Martin and Kuehne.

If you’re talking about the Coaches Caravan video, Seth says Bean and Aune are the front runners, then Kason and Will.

I noticed he averaged 6 yards a carry last season, however defensively when the defense preps all week for a QB that can run vs prepping for Mason who wasn't exactly a threat will make a huge difference should he get some game reps.  I think for that reason we could keep the "competition" open as long as we can even if coach knows who his long term starter is, possibly even into the SMU game.  HBU and A&M will likely both be blowouts in opposite directions so I could see Aune/Bean both getting a lot of reps in each game.

I'm also not sure I entirely agree with your second point, track times are great for just knowing general speed but rarely is a guy going to have 50+ yards to sprint away from everyone without making a cut or move.  From what I personally saw with Bean his cuts and start/stop speed weren't super quick and I believe that translates to a slow-ish 40 speed for a guy with such great speed over a longer distance.

Given the shortened evaluation time available to coaches, I am good with extending the competition into OOC games. As you pointed out, the outcomes of the first two games are likely already all but decided so might as well see how the top 2 contenders perform in meaningful live action.

From what i've been told, he was a front runner for backup if they had spring. He has the talent, but we will see

IMHO....When you watch the times Aune and Bean were in, last spring to last fall, it was obvious who was better. Aune managed to move the ball and score. Nearly ever time Bean was in he turned the ball over. I wish both the very best but the leadership and outcomes of those drives clearly show Aune is the best going into Fall camp. Aune is very athletic and has an arm as well. A QB that just likes to run doesn’t usually go well as you get deeper in the season.

      The Band

      Thats fantastic. They should have their own unique uni's with their school colors. Or at least have some sort of insignia on their NT uniforms. I have written MANY TIMES to the school of music expressing my concerns about the Green Brigade. Daniel Cook actually ask me to watch a practice where they debuted the North Texas fanfare. Something that he either composed himself or had someone in the school of music compose. Daniel (Dr?) Cook inherited a pretty crappy version of the Green Brigade. The most significant change he made was the fanfare. The rest is CRAP. The Band is unwieldy and bloated, and the best word (besides crap) to describe the pre-game show is "perfunctory". They just go through the (musical) motions. At the Army game, as the Band was at mid-field playing the fight song I stood up and did the traditional clapping along with the band, but I kept yelling "TEMPO! TEMPO! GET THE DAMN TEMPO UP! Get to the middle of the field with energy and forgodsakes STOP PLAYING THE "AMERICAN EMBLEM MARCH". That is Junior High stuff. THIS is what a College Band looks like......or is SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE. This is the closest thing to what the North Texas Band used to look like in the 60's-early 70's, under the late, great Maurice McAdow........only the McAdow Bands played better then these guys. But everything else (including the Uniforms) were pretty much the same. So I ask, do they have more talented musicians than us? Do they have more pride than us?
