I'm actually impressed/confused by how poorly this is done. It's really easy to embed on this board.
Meh, I care a little bit. I mean, the NIL$$$ + transfer portal IS going to start working for UT probably sooner than we expect... If you're Vaughn, why NOT go get paid in Austin?
Simply copy link to tweet. Board auto-fromats so we're not getting whatever it is that happens when trying to share twitter content.
Duece seems to be a hardworking guy. Could be a culture changer.
OTOH, a guy willing to jump for $$$ may not be interested in working hard to change a culture.
Texas is going to keep buying Hessian mercenaries and wonder why they don't care enough to give it their all.
Maybe but I don’t think it’s materially different then guys leaving early for money. You can be a blue collar football guy and still be risk averse and want to get paid.
I think it’s more that a program and staff that can’t build their own culture may not know what to look for when trying to buy it.

Talent has never been a problem for Texas. Players with an excessive sense of entitlement (and donors with the same mentality) have created their struggles, IMO.

Did Texas even offer him out of high school? I'm too lazy to look but I'll guess no.
It's similar to that nerd Frederick or whatever at Iowa, his home state wants nothing to do with him, 3 years later they are so desperate they are begging him to come home.
I don't watch alot of Texas football but safe to say their running backs aren't the reason they suck so bad.

Well this wont change anytime soon. I cant wait to see how those ashats deal with being a bottom feeder in the SEC. **** they cant win in the Big12. Fck em.
Like Jordy Nelson, Darren Sproles, Terence Newman, Tyler Lockett, Bill Snyder, and so on?
Yes. All of these people except Snyder would have the ability to jump into the transfer portal and get PAID by UT. I feel like it's not that hard of a concept to grasp but whatever. You've never been one of the intelligent guests here.
Likely true.
But they also have made some very average hires. Charlie Strong is not a good coach. Herman definitely not a guy you hire if culture needs to be improved and you expect elite results. He isn't that level. Yet he is probably better than Sark in nearly every regard except play-calling.
That is where you're right on the donors. They managed to **** up hiring Saban. Maybe they could have never pulled him 10 years ago either way, but Saban isn't messing around with that circle jerk of entitlement.
