    I have been going back and forth on whither I should post this or not but I would like to know others opinions as well. When I heard Harsin was coming to TEXAS I thought ok? His Offence seems fun for the players but very gimmicky and very unpredictable, (both a good and bad thing). After the season I have watched every game twice and some more. (I am a bit of a film junky) and too be honest I’m not overly impressed. Having said this I think the play of the QB hurt his play calling a lot but I am not convinced that he is the answer. Yes the trick plays were great and we had a surprisingly high scoring percentage on trick/ gimmick plays. But his "base" offence left some to be desired. I also understand that we had all of our running backs hurt at some point during the season and at one point all were hurt at once.Also he has shown that he is not on the same level recruiting as Major (though i doubt many are. Am I being too hard on the guy? I need to see next season to see what he can do with more time but I’m not overly encouraged. Feel free to tell me what I might be missing I have been know as a bit of a pessimist. Not trying to hate on the guy just wanting to know if i am the only one who thinks this. Thanks.

    I hear what you're saying about Harsin, but if we had a Colt or Vince this past year and a Bama OL I think we view Harsin as an instant genius. Lets hope we develop these 2 huge areas this off season.

    I think without the untimely injuries or even one less injured running back we beat Missouri and K-State, and then we are having a totally different conversation.

    Correct. Not having Fozzy to return kickoffs and to run the WildFozzy really diminished our offensive firepower. We basically had nothing against Missouri after that ungodly turf tore up Fozzy's acl.
    But, had Harsin not called the pass plays in the red zone near the end of the OKC game we might have scored a TD. That was my first disappointment with Harsin. He put the game in Ash's hands. Unrealistic expectations.
