Unfortunately for Coach Bliss, controversy related to recruiting violations has not stopped following him since 2005. He had recruiting issues at a private school in Bryan after his supposed repentance. Violations include allegations of impermissible tuition reductions and an acknowledgment that ...

Can someone fill me in on the type of defense(s) he uses? Attacking? Bend but don't break? 4-3? 3-4? What's his recruiting like?

A 3-4 with a lot of breaking and some bending. He never seemed to find a single OLB that was an above average pass rusher. Always seemed to have some good inside guys ...

All good, just some friendly fire by my boy Church. “@angeladeesnutz: @SterlingMoore you okay man?”

Sterling seems to think he is just fine.

"Mason said SMU’s academic entrance requirements pose few problems, if any, in recruiting. Rather, he said, it’s a matter of fighting that perception."

Good point both of you. I had read it as "excited to have met you" in past tense. Still, I can hope.

I am still a Beasley fan. I understand his frustration with the school/fans even though I would like to think that his frustration could have been handled differently. Heck, I was frustrated with the fans while I lived in town attending games to see stadiums start very empty and end even more empty ...

The Ok State fans seem to like him both as a recruiter and a coach: "best position coach," "one of the good ones," "I think he [has the goods]," and "one of the biggest reasons our defense has been better the last two seasons." In that thread, these same fans knock an ex-coach (DeForest) as a ...

he would probably be much happier on the west coast anyway since they like that slightly lazy style, and would probably do a better job then here. He just wasn't a happy guy in Texas.

That said, I cant imagine a school with Pac 12 money having to take on June.

Slightly? You mean letting the ...

I miss Vic.

I think it cut into JJ's scheduled offseason time in Hawaii. You know everyday between the last game and fall practice the next.

Our new OC is Chad Morris. Let's consider the other as OC in training.


Agreed. Like others said. Joe is an elevated QB coach, which reports say even Clemson offered him in an attempt to keep it. I think we get him performing the same role he would have performed at Clemson just with a different ...

I totally agree. It's amazing that our defense got us there when we had the QB and offensive guru.

Report that Joe Craddock was offered QB coach at Clemson, but he turned it down to be OC for SMU. Shows that Dabo respected his abilities.

Tom Mason spoke this morning about his position and said that taking the interim was "career suicide." He said that his phone is not ringing. I hope it is merely because it is early. I know part of the defensive issues are on him, but I hate that his great defensive coaching prior to that are ...

It's up for me but is all echoes.
