I have heard a rumor that Texas will not win a National Championship.

I believe your new coach said that. He's trying to keep expectations low I guess?

They ain't gonna get better overnight.

Not having a QB is a sure fire way not to play in a NC. If that changes, they will at least compete for a Big XII title again.

Jerrod Heard could easily lead them to a national championship by his junior/senior year.

Does anyone think Texas Tech will make some big noise?

Noise, Yes.

 

Big noise, not yet.

 

KK is about a year away.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Does anyone think Texas Tech will make some big noise?

he is reeling in some good recruits.

[AledoBearcatsCO2014]

He's also the best coach in Texas. (My opinion)

Best looking or best foitball coach?

Jury is still out on that one.  He was 11-2 at A&M with the Heisman Trophy winner at QB.  He had a good run at Houston as a position coach but had Keenum - another really good college QB - and and weak league.

 

Do I think he is a good coach and will be a good coach - you bet.  But best in Texas - I think Briles, Sumlin and Strong might have a say in that - and Patterson at TCU has not been a slouch either.

 

His main problem may well be Lubbock, Texas - it is way out there.

[AledoBearcatsCO2014]

Briles maybe, but Sumlin won't be a good coach until he gets his players in line. Getting arrested all the time is just... It starts with leadership.  I don't know about Coach Strong because we'll have to see how he does at Texas.

You may be right about Sumlin at this time while I like him I have questions myself - he has had a rash of player issues this year and not that many in the past at Houston or at A&M (except JFF which was not really issues except 1 it was him just not keeping his twitter feed off) so is it his management style of just a run of questionable actions by a few players - time will tell.  As far as win loss he is 20-6 at A&M in the SEC - not a bad start.  He was 35-17 while at Houston - in a much weaker conference - but that still gives him a 55-23 record which is not bad at all.

 

How will the rigors of the SEC play into his legacy we will see - it will be rough at times I assume.  

[AledoBearcatsCO2014]

He needs to get the defense figured out if he wants A&M to stay afloat in the SEC.  I believe it will get figured out just based off the recruits coming in.
