    Here's my own initial, somewhat sarcastic view FWIW...
    1. Dont fumble away winning scores at goal line
    1 1/2. Dont put yourself in position against inferior opponents at home where 1 play makes that big of a difference
    1 3/4. Don't do this^^^^^ against any opponent
    2. Don't make dumb mistakes against biggest rival in most important game
    3. Don't start slow
    4. Dont take sacks or call plays that make sacks likely on crucial 3rd downs with game on the line
    5. Get 1 yard when you need it to ice games
    5 1/4. Don't run slow developing run plays when you must have a yard or two
    5 1/2. Dont call or choose 50 yd passes when 5 yard plays will get you close to victory
    6. Dont play it safe when trying to seal/ice games
    7. Be in position to ice games earlier in more games (be in fewer 1 score games)

    1.Build the OL
    2.Consistency in Coaching Tenure
    3.Martyrs and Portal Drama Queens are asked to move on
    4. Build a World Class Facility (check)
    5. Expand Student participation in games.
    6. Strengthen Alumni and former player involvement ( I am neither)
    I think CDC does have UT headed in the right direction

    It’s all about leadership and decision making, and that starts at the top. Get the right coach and we are 50/50 to win the conference, next year.

    Hire a good football coach .. I'd do what Texas baseball did ( Gus ) many many years ago. Hire a high school championship coach. They are better than 99.9999 % of these clowns in college.
    Next year OU wins conference going away...Nobody in conference will touch them next year.
    It will take 3 or 4 years before Texas can fix what Strong and Herman ****** up.

    Starts and ends with offensive and defensive lines. The great Texas teams dominated the line of scrimmage in both sides of the ball.
