Texas would have been better off losing Greg Davis when Chris Simms was out QB. We have very good talented players and can’t seem to use it correctly, the only reason why Texas won the National Championship is because Vince Young made play after play! If it were someone else we would have still come up short. Enough is Enough… let’s bring in a new OC and get this offense rolling in the big games. We have these huge or big time receivers and can’t throw the ball down the field to stretch the defense. If we are looking to win a National championship I hate to say it but Colt McCoy will not lead the Longhorns, Big in a QB and a Very good OC and we can beat OU and A&M.

I agree.

Brian said (11/28/2007):

I don’t like Davis anymore than you guys do but it was his tutelage that made VY the quarterback he was. Darn near half the Texas fan base wanted Vince moved to WR after the Mizzou game in 2004. We don’t win the national championship without Davis either.

I think we need new blood for sure but Davis wasn’t the team’s biggest problem the last two years. In our losses the defense has not only given up way too many points but they’ve allowed long, grinding drives that keep the offense off the field and out of rhythm. That plus the embarrassing lack of turnovers haven’t just meant big points for the other team but hurt the offensive production as well.

Are you kidding me? Davis is an idiot. He almost ruined VY by requiring him to change his throwing motion. Brown said it was a line in a book authored by Dana Bible (something about if the result are there, mechanics are less improtant) that made him get Davis to back off of requiring VY to throw over the top - but personally I believe it was the grumblings of the Houston ISD coaches about UT ruining one of the best high school athletes ever to come out of Texas and not recommending UT in the future for any of their athletes. And don’t get me started about having talents like Roy Williams, Johnson, and Sloan Thomas constantly running hooks and turnarounds intead of posts, flys and crossing patterns.

Brian, you are not related to Greg Davis are you? lol

Brian said (11/29/2007):

Ha Chris. I probably want Davis gone as much as anybody but because of dumb comments like Rob’s (that Vince succeeded despite Greg Davis) I’ve somehow had to become a Davis defender.

Game Ball Award said (11/30/2007):

I think you give Davis too much credit for Vince’s development Brian. It is pretty well documented that Mack Brown made the decision to “stop coaching” Vince, and just let him play. In my opinion, If you had to paint our Longhorns problem with one broad stroke, it would be talent utilization. Texas consistently recruits some of the best highschool talent in the nation, but we shelf them when they get here, via off field problems (arrests) and poor play calling. While the coaches cant make these kids obey the law, they can call better plays. I think this falls on the coordinators’ shoulders. Our defense put up some embarrassing stats this year, but to me it was obvious lack of offense hurt us the worst. Oh well….Go Dallas Cowboys!!

VY himself has stated that Major Applewhite added a ton to his ability to play better. He has stated on numerous occassions that Major’s knowledge of the game is amazing.
