Pardon Texas defensive coordinator Manny Diaz if he has nightmares of Taysom Hill. Diaz's Longhorn defense had no clue how to stop the BYU quarterback.
On 17 carries Hill rushed for 259 yards and 3 touchdowns as BYU stunned the Texas 41-21.
“We expected to run on them, we didn't expect to break the school record." Hill said.
BYU's 550 yards rushing total broke the school record however, a Texas defense has never given up that many rushing yards ever.
“I’m disappointed in them, disappointed us." Texas head coach Mack Brown said. "We didn’t stop the run, couldn’t make third and fourth and short, and that’s the story of the game."
With such a pitiful defensive performance by the Texas defense their seems to be real doubt about the future of Diaz.
When asked after the game if Diaz is the right person to lead the Longhorn defense Mack Brown responded, “I didn’t think our coaches or our players lived up to what we needed to do tonight to win … including me.”
When Diaz was asked the same question he said, "That’s not even a topic to talk about.”
It just might be very soon.
And, now the larger question is one the HQ has brought up before:
"Does Texas back up the truck to bring Nick Saban in?"- especially if he wins another national title in Tuscaloosa...
The HQ has heard all the talk about Miss Terri not liking living in Alabama any more... and, usually, what the Boss says goes...
What...??? $10-million a year...???
The buyout money for Mack Brown could be brought in at the beginning of business Monday without anything more than a snap of the fingers... and since Mack makes $5-million, Saban could be turning his crimson in for burnt orange...
Quickly...
But Manny Diaz gets fired first...
1800 UPDATE: He did... or was reassigned, depending on your point-of-view...
Greg Robinson was given the battlefield promotion from his quality control position
"Our performance on defense last night was unacceptable, and we need to change that," Mack Brown said in a written statement. "Greg will be here tonight and get with the staff and players to start preparing for Ole Miss. He will be running our defense immediately. We're very fortunate that Greg has been around, watched all of our practice video and has a good scouting report moving forward. His familiarity with the staff and players should make for a smooth transition. He knows this place, did a terrific job in leading our defense before, and I'm excited to have him back on the field. We're back at it and working hard to beat Ole Miss this weekend."
