I agree that Tom was not going to let anybody beat out Sam. My hope is that a new OC will be allowed to manage the QB position. Tom likes a bulldozer at that position too much.
I thought Mack’s inability to manage this position was his undoing. Colt and Vince were no-brainers but his failure to have a backup ready when Colt went down and his hardheadedness in the B-12 championship game against Colorado might have cost him a couple of MNCs. A lot of good QBs never saw the field, many transferred, and a ton of them graduated from high school in Texas, never attended UT, and had very good careers in the NFL.
Mack appeared to not want to be pressured by QB controversy and the best way to keep that from happening was to keep the others on the bench, or, to not recruit them. His final blow was passing on quality recruits and telling everybody that they would stay with Ash. The kid had to quit, Mack gets fired, and Charlie has no QB.
Like Mack, Tom appears to be hardheaded. If he is smart, he will make the right OC hire and get out of the way.
What have I missed?
