    I don’t know if it’s coincidental or correlative, but it tracks pretty well with success.

    To be fair, this years LOIs are meaningless. Any player that wants out will get out.

    It doesn’t compared to average and median recruiting rankings. Only reason to use blue chip ratio is if you’re trying to fit a narrative that otherwise doesn’t work.

    From that list, how does it not coincide with success, aside from Texas underachieving?

    I clarified a bit in an edit. It’s fine but not the most accurate. Why use a less accurate metric when you have better options is my point.

    He’s about to make pretty much the same amount of money being an OC and not having to deal with the bullshit associated with being HC?

    Honestly rooting for him and Texas. CFB needs some new teams to become elite so we stop getting the same few in the playoffs. Would love to see programs like Texas or USC get back to winning just for the sake of some more interesting seasons.

    this is pretty insignificant when it comes to places like texas and presumably auburn

    boosters could do this every year if they really wanted to

    obviously the optics during the pandemic are shit but it happens any time texas fires a coach

    I can’t imagine sark wants his name dropped as the New head coach in the same tweet/story that broke Herman being fired. Makes him look like shit. That kind of dysfunction is prevalent at Texas. Could be just getting cold feet. Texas doing all of this, finding the New coach behind the old coaches back only for the New coach to back out would be good for us neutrals who love a coaching search though. Especially the richest program that is incredibly prideful.
