    If that guy were at OU he would be 30 pounds lighter and probably gashing our defense.

    S&C is a huge part of the current UT clusterfuck. We need to get that ******* poseur Mad Dog out of here pronto.

    I would hesitate to say that Bohls is ever right about anything except matters of general knowledge.

    Agree on both points Bevo nation.

    But I think the raw talent is there. Somebody has to coach this guy now.

    His video, abeit high school, still impresses me. He took a number of those runs to the house. He can catch passes and has some "wiggle" even though his pad level is not low.

    Please let us not waste this talent.

    I think any kid on offense is going to be excited this year, especially the younger ones who didn't see the field as much as they probably should have.

    I hope Chris takes this offseason to focus on being the absolute best football player and student he can be, and we get some coaching, and some blocking, and we eventually move this post to the classics for how out of sorts it even seems due to his breakout success. He has plenty of time.

    A new OC should mean some new impact makers emerging from the existing roster. I think they're there, but they have not been given much of a shot, and probably worked out and practiced like someone who didn't expect to play. Every one of them should see this change as a chance to get a brand new start. That's pretty exciting.

    waste of talent by the OC, but we have seen this before...

    Let's keep this in context. In '97 Bohls also wanted to hire Barnett instead of Mack Brown. Kirk is strong-headed and opinionated, but sometimes he just gets it wrong. I think even Kirk would admit that.

    0 carries for 0 yards, 0 catches for 0 yards.

    Mine and Whaley's stats on the season...

    I missed all his carries and all the passes thrown his way this season. I think they happened when I took a particularly long swig of my Shiner 101. Hard to focus on anything when something that nice is going on in my mouth.

    I could second what Seasicksailor/Dukesteer said. Then I would back half of what Bevo Nation said as far as the SC Coach.

    He'll be a bust when he's had a chance in a game and does nothing. Until then, he's just another player who doesn't "show" in practice.

    Interesting article.

    I wonder what it is about some running backs that makes it so hard to coach them not to run upright. We had one on my high school team that could have been a very good back, but he always led with his stomach. The coaches tried everything, but couldn't get him to hit anyone with his shoulder pads.

    Whaley was quoted in the article as saying "I'm going to get a rude awakening in college ...", so he acknowledged a need to change. Wonder if part of the problem is that he still hasn't made that change.

    I'll take a sidways opportunity here to state that the WHOLE Ausstin paper is a pile of crap, so no wonder it promotes Kirk as a lead sports writer.

    The past 6 years being back in Austin has shown me that the Statesman is only slightly above a weekly wipe in a Texas county. The news is trivia, the editorial pages are for lunatics or people who basically have no life at all, and the Life Section and movie reviewing is pathetic and sooooooo freaking predictable (they luuuuuv Arbor-Drafthouse docu-drama serrrrrrious films), and the Metro section features crime, more crime, extra crime, and cold case crime, and more crime, and four pages inside you get business. And it's just so pathetic.

    So no wonder the sports page has never pursued a nationally recognized quality lead writer. Art, Suzanne, Ced and others are always better reads than Kirk. Always.

    It's the paper. And it is lowest civic barometer that defines the term incongruent. To think... a classy city like Austin... and all it has for a paper is the freaking Statesman. The city, the people, the university, the whole community is one thing.... yet the paper doesn't represent any of it and is a million miles apart form it in quality and class.

    Agreed Hu.

    And the ironic part is that as the city has grown, the paper has actually gotten more yokel-ish.

    Whaley may or may not be a bust, we don't know yet. But Bohls is a certified bust.

    Say in the 2009 Boels article that Whaley weighed 245 and ran a 10.5 100 meters in high school. That would be all world speed. I don't believe he was ever timed in 10.5. That is Jamaal Charles speed. And we saw how Jamaal could turn a corner and never look back.

    No way Whaley is that fast.

    Caryhorn,

    what if he REALLY did run a 10.5 100 meter?

    Maybe Whaley is not the fools gold that some current thinking says.

    Maybe bad coaching is what has held him back.
