Dana Holgorsen Will Set A Hotel Couch On Fire

I don’t know much, but I know winning, or is it whenning.

Listen to the radio interview. That’s a sharp guy. In any field. No coach-speak.
 
- His thoughts on the importance of OL vs. skill position players was telling, also how important it is that an OC be on the same page as the OL coach
- OU copied A&M’s defensive gameplan vs. OSU
- Loved his thoughts on how to evaluate
 
“You have to surround yourself with people smarter than you.”
 
Indeed.

“Whenning isn’t everything; its the only thing.”

That interview is bad ass. He’s like the brain spawn of Mike Leach and Robert Evans. Tell me that dude wouldn’t be great to hang out with on a Saturday night with some matches and a spare couch.

The first thing he said when they asked him if he could be successful just about anywhere with a good QB and WR is “what about the five guys up front.”

Sailor,

I think the problem isn’t liking pussy and/or whiskey but that is a formula involving the whiskey your drink and the pussy you chase that Bellmont uses.

Won’t claim to be Huck, but I would imagine it works along the lines of:

1) If you drink whiskey aged less than 10 years the pussy you chase must be 3 times older than the age of your whiskey (unless you are nordberg and you are drinking the shit henry james makes in his still in the garage).

2) If you drink whiskey aged 10 years or more add 12 to the years for whiskey aged 10-12 years, add 10 years to the whiskey aged 15, and if your whisky is aged 20 years your aren’t a fucking coach.

Should be a fun team to watch – wish we could have snagged him, though.

The thing in common between whiskey and pussy is that they both end in Y, as in Y did Bellmont supposedly determine him a non-viable candidate? We wants to know.

It’s just a throwaway line looking for a cheap laugh. I have no idea what has or hasn’t transpired in the guy’s private life. Fact is, if he’s likely to get behind the wheel of golf cart and drive around Sixth Street in a stupor like Bill Murray in Stockholm, he’s probably not the guy you want as OC. Austin ain’t Lubbock or Stillwater. Was that a likelihood? No idea.

The main point of the post was more about the HCIW thing and the podcast itself which was really interesting.

Really wished we got this guy.

Loved what he said about letting position coaches get who they want. Cough* Applewhite Cough* Brandon Williams.

Wow, that’s a really interesting podcast. No bullshitting or spinning—the guy just knows his stuff and he’s able to make it sound simple. It’s very refreshing after all of our press conferences and post-game interviews!

Not to be a bigger ass than normal Sailor and I can’t speak for the entire BC community, but after the not stop deluge of rumours and speculatiion about the Texas program I would rather focus my thoughts and discussion on whiskey and pussy until we hear something solid.

Bicameral mind.

Pokelahoma aggie intimating that Holgerson’s talking to WVU during OU-OSU week might have something to do with the loss? Your coach is Gundy. Search your feelings, pedawan.

Now if he can just come up with 81 other excuses for all of the other beatdowns that big brother has laid on them over the last 100 years.

I prefer using “afire.”

That was a badass interview.

As I recall the OSU offense wasn’t the problem against OU. It was the inability to not give up 90 yard touchdown passes in the 4th quarter.

Hey fellows, I’m sure to be behind on the news (flu), but Malzahn is staying with Auburn for 1.3. Is it possible that the BoR meeting was held to approve that type of expenditure for an offensive coordinator?

Is that still a possibility?

Hook ’em!

Pedawan? Is that a Jedi pedophile?

Notice how West Virginia did not wait until after bowl season to take who they wanted. Of all the head scratchers in the mack era, this whole “classy” waiting idea is the dumbest of all. Your first obligation and priority is to the University of Texas Mack….not your coaching fraternity.

Its one thing to screw someone over, it is quite another to just hire a coach like everyone else does. It is standard operating procedure. If Harsin is our guy, then hiring him, will…maybe…distract Boise’s preperation for the LAS VEGAS BOWL. I repeat…THE LAS VEGAS BOWL.

Additonally, with our class wrapped up, we could excuse him of the normal new coordinater duties of wooing recruits. But we coudl give them a name. he could stay with Boise until Dec 23rd, but we could sell him to recruits now. help reassure Westerman.

The same with whoever our OL coach will be. Make the hire, excuse them for a few weeks.

When Muschamp was made HCIW I assumed there was a definite timeline involved, but I guess there wasn’t. It looks like James Franklin at Maryland didn’t have a definite timeline so he took the Vandy job (he must hate his career). Joker Phillips had a definite timeline because everyone knew Brooks was retiring. I have a feeling the FSU admin had a definite timeline for Jimbo Phillips and knew it would have to force Bowden out – or at least, they didn’t want to lose Jimbo so they did just that. As you note, the Dana deal should work fine as there is a deadline, but don’t you think that will make for a weird year? Who’s the boss? Stewart or Dana? Awkward….

Yeah! Who is the Boss?

When Muschamp was made HCIW I assumed there was a definite timeline involved, but I guess there wasn’t.

I’m pretty sure there was an agreed on rough timeline. Mack just decided unilaterally to scrap the timeline.

I do consider all of the concepts you’ve offered on your post. They’re very convincing and can certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are too short for starters. Could you please extend them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.
