Semi-OT: What the hell happened to Traylor and UTSA?

They blew a 35-7 halftime lead to Tulsa and a 42-17 late 3rd quarter lead.

Traylor was on the shortlist for almost every P4 Texas job including us but fell off.

Between not having a good qb to replace Frank Harris and not being able to win games, things aren’t looking great in San Antonio.

UTSA paid this man like $30 million guaranteed in order to keep him.

Losing Harris was a big blow to him

What happened to Jeff Traylor? Not having Frank Harris at QB.

Same issue with Kevin Sumlin not having Case Keenum and Johnny Manziel at QB.

That is why I pause considering a head coach candidate having a good season riding the coattails of a good QB. I need a head coach candidate that has won with multiple rosters.

That is why I favored Willie Fritz over Jeff Traylor.

That was an amazing come from behind win.

UTSA played like they had the game won at halftime.

Tulsa, on the other hand, played with a sense of urgency, like a pack of hungry, mad dogs.

I think so many programs get caught in the hype of a few good seasons.
What they really need to see is how well that guys recruits are for a couple years. This means a coach actively coaching through a complete 4 year recruiting cycle.

You can’t win in college or NFL without a good qb.

There’s a reason he was lobbying extra hard for the A&M and UH jobs last offseason

@GrayTheCoog looks like they need a new Defensive Coordinator

Huge plays given up in the air

Tell that to Georgia. Carson Beck and Stetson Bennett have both been mid at best, and yet they’ve won two of the last three national championships and are a strong contender for a third this year.

Someone said in another thread, he didn’t use the portal to recruit since he thought he was going to get the UH or Aggie HC job in the offseason

They’ve had an NFL defense

I don’t know if it’s the QB; after all, they did score 45 points. Sounds to me like their defense was their problem in that game.

Yeah their defense has been beyond atrocious this year. Its really not their qb play.

When you gamble, keep overplaying your hand and stay at a G5 this is what happens

Or in this case shaking them down

He lost his 7th year senior QB

Whats even crazier is that former 4* Auburn transfer (And North Shore HS star QB), Dematrius Davis, is on the roster…

Hard to believe he hasn’t been able to pop in to the starting lineup.

Davis didn’t do anything and was benched at Alabama State - undersized and overrated

The only thing that matters anymore is how much money do you have to pay recruits.
