    And you can do your job tremendously for 12 months, and then on December 15 that kid gets an offer he can't refuse from some other school that wasn't even a factor before and they ended up wasting all that time for nothing. And that's not on the kid, but being a coach who puts in all that time and effort for nothing has to be beyond frustrating.

    The same number of guys might be leaving for the league as previous years, but there has to be a significantly higher percentage of guys looking to make that jump (but can't because the NFL just doesn't have room) than before.

    That was probably me on rivals when my name was BUD ELLIOTT and he asked me to change it.

    Bud is one of the most arrogant people I have ever encountered. He just can't help it. I think one of our players would have physically assaulted him by now if he wasn't hiding out in Orlando or wherever he lives.

    I'm honestly kind of astonished Sunseri is still alive considering what he looked like a decade ago.

    Can't wait for them to get in more arguments in the media about who gets the credit for any success they have, who is calling plays, etc.

    Every time I see something like this I wonder if the person is stepping down because something happened, Me too related or race related.

    Health reasons, maybe his family didnt move to Austin with him, he simply didnt like the job? Multitude of reasons that dont include something bad going on.

    Yay that’s a huge leap to say there’s no reason to step down outside of a scandal. I can think of a hundred reasons a very successful head coach for 20 years doesn’t want to work under someone else when they don’t have to.

    I wasn't really even commenting on why he left but it does seem like it would a be relatively easy job which I assume includes just watching film and giving your two cents.

    I mostly wish I had that job where you watch game tapes for a few hours week and prob make 6 figures. :feelsbadman:

    He didn’t even move from Fort Worth after taking the job it was always temporary because he didn’t want to quit working completely. Nothing more than that.

    Try pulling some bullshit like that at any other job. Or as just a regular Joe. You'd get laughed out of the building.
