I didn't know if he meant that he seeks a different type of player than the average Texas player, which would suggest he may not know the current high school offensive system, or did he mean he doesn't work the living room like the typical Texas high school coach?

He was talking about having to recruit by phone rather than hands on in person.

I liked the part where he said he is so well-known in producing fine quarterbacks the kids now send him tapes wanting to play for him

I guess he's forgotten more football than any of us.

LONG LIVE THAT MODEL!!

More specifically he said academics have been addressed to his satisfaction as "on a par with where he's been." or somesuch. Interesting

I don't. We might still be stuck with Bennett! I hate to say it but I was hoping for a complete collapse this season so we could get a new leader. :lol:

It's probably not right but I'm just being honest!

He's probably physically and mentally exhausted right now. The last couple of weeks for him has involved three LONG flights, and he said that he had been up for like 40 hours straight. After listening to him, I am very fired up.
