  • That is interesting. Hasn't done much in college football since his Baylor days.

    Also interesting that Texas Tech's official site has a link to Wreckem247. That is a forward looking move by their Sport's Information Department.

  • The architect of the bear raid offense is back in business. I used to think to myself, "self, if lee hays really travelled to tech to watch leach and learn his offense, he apparently wasn't very good at taking notes and was a slow learner." The spread he tried in Waco was very different than anything leach was doing.

  • Hay's offense was good when Phillips was QB coach and he had Shawn Bell. Once they left an he had Szymanski at QB the wheels fell off.

    Hay's offense was good when I played it on the PS3, but other than that, they were terrible.

    FIFY.

    Agree. Ask UT how mediocre QB's can tank an offense.

  • UH fans are glad he left

    That kind of tells you what kind of hire this could be

    Or how terrible coaching can affect even mediocre QBs.....

    Amazing that when Briles was at Houston and Patterson at TCU both offered Blake and thought he was a worthy enough QB to offer.

    I still wonder what Blake could have done under Briles' tutelage for 4 years instead of GuyMo and the sniper.... He def looked like a different QB in that Tech game in 09 and no telling how he might have done that entire season if he didn't get hurt in the same game RG3 went down.

    completely agree, Dancing Bear!

    i've been saying the exact same thing about David Ash all season long. People talk about how Briles knows QBs, and how UT has missed on so many QBs, but Briles offered David Ash (and Connor Wood, for that matter) when he was in HS, so methinks he has some skills for the position.

    Just fyi, that's a link to the Lubbock paper, not the official AD site.

    Thanks I did a fly by- should have looked more carefully

  • Not sure about his staff selections so far.

    LB Coach from the Jets as Co-DC
    Hays
    Eric Morris for his 2nd year as a coach
    Kevin Curtis has been around the block and is good/decent

  • KK may work out for TT but if Baylor had hired him as HC I would have been very dissapointed. He seems like a reach to me.

    Blake would have been a better QB if he had played four years for Briles. So would Freeman. Blake seemed to me like one of those guys that needed the play to develop as planned because he couldn't create or overcome when things broke down. I remember a play against a small school like Northwestern Lousiana when he led the team on a 70 yard drive late in the game during mop up duty. We were controlling the ball running it and had moved to about the 10 yard line when Blake received a high snap. He fumbled it and Northwestern State recovered. RGIII had been fielding high snaps all game.

    I haven't kept up with Hays but at that time in his career I think he needed a strong QB coach under him.
