Upon further reflection after painfully remembering our last two games against aggy, I’d like to amend my remarks. Davis often sucks against mediocre competition, as well.

“Regarding Greg Davis: I am not sure why you Horns hate him so much. From out here in the hinterlands, he sure does appear to be one of the best OC’s in college football. Certainly one of the most consistently very good.”

Yeah, Davis is great against mediocre competition. Watch old game tapes against any outstanding D where VY isn’t our QB and get back to us. Davis sucks.

Callahan postured on the sideline more than that other Oakland coach…whathisname…you know the one that went to Tampa. That guy must have practiced in front of a mirror.
Callahan could hold it only so long before he slipped into a blank stare
He could, however, put together an offensive game plan. Now that he is gone Shawn Watson will be exposed for the ignoramus he is.

FWIW, I think Sherman has two things going for him:

1) He’s been at A&M before, so he knows the landscape. There isn’t going to be a need to try to ‘change the culture’ like Callahan was doing at Nebraska.

2) He lacks Callahan’s arrogance. Callahan struck me as someone who thought he was ‘going to teach those cornfed bumpkins in Nebraska about football’. You have to remember, Callahan’s scheme was so difficult, his Raider team couldn’t understand it, leading to his “dumbest team in America” remark. I think Callahan was just too smart for his own good.

Forget Tech……will Sherman do a Callahan impression or a Carrol impresson? If it is the latter OU may finally have some comp in the South

I know his talent sucked, but he never had one of those 3 or 4 interception-blowup-games that all our other QBs have each season. Kingsbury, Symons, Cumbie and Harrell have lost at least 2 games per year due to an “off” night. Like ChrisA was talking about, putting too much pressure on your QB. Hodges wasn’t flashy and couldn’t make all the throws, but he didn’t lose games for you and at the end of the game you always had a chance to win (except against Texas).

Actually, I was thinking of Sonny Cumbie. It’s getting hard to tell them all apart.

I should research more.

CA,

Even worse than Sonny Cumbie? I think Cumbie has been the worst QB of the Leach era, by far.

“Ghost of - I agree: at least since 2004″

Cooincidentally, this was when Mack switched from working with the defense to working with the offense.

Hodges was by far the worst Tech QB under Leach. There isn’t a 2nd place. Symons was the best.

Harrell has a few years to catch up to where those guys were so we’ll see about him.
