And this mentality is what you are going to get every year with Mac. People can blame Chico all they want, I just hope their jaws don't drop if/when he's gone and we're still having this same convers

I live in Austin and deal with condescending UT a-holes on a daily basis. I remember our game at Ford Stadium against SMU and what a bunch of d-bags they were (especially the talk on mylittleponyfans

We played the first 3.25 quarters like we had a 14 point lead. Coker just took Mac behind the woodshed.

Dan McCarney has done wonders with this program compared to his predecessor(s). He has built a commraderie and sense of purpose into this team that is top notch. He has seen that academics are maintained at a high level. He has had few discipline problems because of the enviornment that he has created. He has given the team a physical and mental toughness that maybe second to none. There is little doubt that he has created a program that is comparable to most P5 conference teams.

He has allowed Skladany to run one of the best defenses in the country. He is allowing Tommy Perry to coach special teams unit that have improved dramatically over last year; especially in returns and coverage. Then why is the offensive coordinator not allowed the same leeway? Is this really Mac's 'three yards and a cloud of dust' philosophy? Is the extremely conservative offense the product of McCarney's mandate or is it what Canales wants to run?

It seems to me that if Mac could get an up-and-coming offensive coordinator and allow him run an offense that best suits our offensive players that we could be looking at a Top 25 program. I think that the rest of the program (especially strength and conditioning) is that good/promising. So Dan, if Chico is the man to run the offense allow him that freedom. If not, find an OC that you believe that you can trust and allow them to succeed (or fail).

Comparable to most P5 conference teams?

Are you on crack?

We just lost to UTSA, for goodness sakes.

DMac has done a lot of good things. So did Dickey. And Dickey got fired.

It's about continuing the progression upward. Can DNac do this? Only time will tell. He desperately needs to change his philosophy about offense. He won't. Too bad.

That is the key statement. Mac is a defensive coach, maybe he just understands the defensive side better and that makes it easier for him to trust someone on that side of the ball. Maybe he just has a great relationship with Skaldany.

I don't know what it is. But he does need to trust an OC to do his job.

Yeah. We have the same offensive game plan every week regardless of the opponent, which in addition to the possibility of being a bad game plan for a given opponent also makes us painfully predictable.

One of the players even said as much on the coach Mac show.

I'm all for imposing your will on a team, but you need to have an offensive plan when that don't work.

Currently 7-4 with a chance to be 8-4 at the end of the regular season PLUS going to a Bowl Game.

How is this not real world success?

You miss my point. 8-4 is quite positive. Continually using Todd Dodge as a reference point for success is lunacy.

If I get a $10,000 a year raise it is asinine to say "Look at me!! I'm doing WAY better than those Wal-Mart employees!" The comparison to the bottom of the barrel is unnecessary and desperate...ESPECIALLY when the status quo speaks for itself.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
