Texas Longhorns at Texas Tech Saturday

[Macarthur]

They got embarrased by Alabama. The other two games were not embarrasments. Get a grip. Your obsession is insane.

Yes, atm finding out what that star rating will get you, Swoopes was rated an Athlete after the Elite QB camp. The star beside your name is useless if you cannot produce on the field, your team finding that out also. You keep doing your research, you good at that coming from BFE.

When you show me a team that has won a national championship that hasn't recruited in the top 10, then your "excuse" will mean something. No team has "coached up" a bunch of 2 and 3* scrubs and won anything of value.

The scores after the game was in hand only made it not look embarrassing, even atm fans admitt that. What games were you watching, just do not like atm. atm sucks, just the way it is. No different then what most atm fans feel, although there are some good atm fans but just not many. Lol

So, you guys know I am a Longhorn fan. Thick or thin, win or lose.

I was absolutely embarrassed by the Offense on Saturday. We looked bad, from coaching staff all the way through players on field.

I took heart that the defense is still playing decent. Looking at the schedule, I am legitimately worried we may not win another game.

I'd like to hear someone's opinion on the Shawn Watson, the offensive coordinator.

There were a lot of people not happy with this hire due to his past stops.

Does he contribute to the offensive woes?

This is better than late night comedy. It is just some young men playing football. Yes, there is big money behind it all.

Yes, every armchair coach is very disappointed when you lose but very happy when you win. It is the coaching, Lol

Thanks for this meaningless post.

What are your thoughts on Shawn Watson and his offensive philosophy that is rather vanilla when compared to other conference mates?

[Macarthur]

I haven't followed Watson's career to know a whole lot about him, frankly.

I think the challenge he has is that he has a QB that just isn't good in the pocket, yet. Or maybe I should say he's very inconsistent. He's shown flashes. Someone mentioned the other day that they should roll out more, that he looks good on the run. While I don't disagree, you can't base your offense around that. When a QB rolls to one side, the defense no longer has to defend the entire field. So while that works when you have balance, it can't be the basis of your offense. It simply boils down to the fact that your QB has to make quality throws from the pocket to win big in college and the NFL. I think that's Watson's issue right now is that he's basically working with one hand tied behind his back. And realize that guys like Snyder and the coaches he employs are very smart. They know pretty quick what your QB can and can not do. Good defenses will take something away from you. That's why Patterson has such a long history of good defneses. He will absolutely take one thing that you like to do away from you.

Now, I will say this, you have two 5* RBs in the backfield and they combined for something like 15 touches Saturday? That sounds really weird to me.

Watson is a good coach, give him time and talent and he will be successful.

What do you mean by 'give him talent'?

Looking at their next two recruiting classes, you could argue that UT has more talent on their roster now than they will in 2 years.

Would it be fair to say that any coach could be successful with time and talent?

Right now Heard will not be giving any thought of playing this year, so Swoopes has no one pushing him at practice. Next year that will change and also with the players dismissed this year (OL, receivers and Daje being out) there are to many first year players, there will be players step up next year. Again stop looking at the Stars next to their name, Hall is a prime example of what you can do with that star next to your name. Do you really think coaches can come in and in one year turn things around with someone elses players, more talent and experience will make a big difference. Just for the record, I do feel Heard will overtake Swoopes next year.

Yea unless your at atm,Lol
