Enough with the QE crabbing. The kid is a Freshman! Playing behind a OL of Freshmen, who will be top 3 in the nation in a year or so. That is, if this board doesn’t run them off because they arent Justin Blalock in year one. We have an offense built around a fabulous RB who teams load up on. Young OL who make an ole block or two. So, we dont win the Big XII after a 5-7 and all are ready for new everything from the head coach down. There is no team in America, period/period, with more cant-miss QB whiffs than Texas. Bill Bradley, Joe Norwood, Shea Morenz, Todd Dodge, etal. We average one per year since 1956! No small part of that failure is over heated expectations distorting the already tremendous pressure on 18 year olds. There is no greater three year maturation that exceeds that of young men from 18-21.
Now, lets layer on the mayhem of the transfer portal and building a team is like building a sand castle on the incoming tide. Team chemistry isnt something you give guys a week to get straight or run them off. Hell, Worthy lives with Ewers! If they cant build chemistry, who can?
Coach Royal, when asked what it takes to win a National championship, said “first thing is Notre Dame has to lose a game”. The pure luck necessary to win a championship is astounding. Injuries, off-days, other teams luck, the weather, ad nauseum. Get expectations in trim and give these coaches and players a chance to succeed. Look at a picture of DKR in 1976 then in 1986. He looks ten years younger, ten years later. There is no higher pressure job in sports than HC at UT. Lay off a little.
