Great. Now you don't have the jackrabbit Ferrari offense, but still have the mini van D, and Dodge Durango special teams. Probably won't be winning us any conference championships, Heisman Trophies or bowl games,but hey, at least we are more complete.
You sure do worry about the Heisman. Give me major bowl trophies before the Heisman.
You coming to Oklahoma State? I 'll take you and partybear to the place where they make most of the NCAA trophies. You guys can feel it like we won a major bowl. Maybe they will let you hold up a replica.
What kind of van did we drive with discipline? So many options and most are really bad.
Thee, Limited was a pretty successful high school coach. I would have loved him to stand in for the Aggie. I can see Aggie stuffing his pants full of 8.5 x 11 notebook paper while scream at the guys but no worries Limited would stuff a brass pole down his pants and his team would rally because they knew he would want them to stiffen up.
Did we have conference championships, bowl wins, bowl appearances and Heisman Trophies before Briles arrived? You lack perspective. Baylor was irrelevant prior to Briles' arrival. You may loathe the man, but the failure to recognize the success he had on the football field is just stupid.
You seem to think any number of coaches would have been better than Briles from a football perspective, and would have surpassed his unprecedented accomplishments. That just tells me you're stupid
I am afraid you and Art are going to need some time together. I remember Baylor prior to 1995. You act like one or two years makes us some badass program with tradition. Even Kansas played in a BCS bowl games in the Big 12. We need to win them before bragging about them.
Heisman Trophy? Do you really believe these kids don't see the hardware from other schools? This isn't mid major football. I worry about major bowl trophies to separate us from the others with awards. Let's face it, the coolest Heisman in the Big 12 is Barry Sanders' award. Kids and parents actually remember him being successful after college. Do you think some average fan remembers Troy Smith? I bet Michigan fears those National Championship trophies on display, not some guy who the kids or parents don't remember.
Baylor football played like a broke dick cripple until Morriss started the facilities push and Ian stole the Highers money from development. You should have visited a few other schools like Oklahoma State and you would have realized some teams prior to their shelling out football money were playing like cripples. There was no chance to play with the bluebloods.
The years to capitalize on Heisman are over. Art blew them up with his discipline and his hiring of his family at major salaried positions in college football. Our year was 2015 that fed off the Heisman. Art blew it and the rest was history. Couldn't even kick Texas' sorry ass in the "mall fight" and lost a broken TCU team in a rain storm.
Yes, those Bluebonnet Bowl appearances prior to 1995 sure were swell. How many major bowl games did Teaff have us in again? I remember a Sugar Bowl where we got our butts handed to us, but not much else. And I loved Teaff. He once sat me on his knee when I was kid. But let's not pretend his accomplishments were anything close to Briles.
Prior to Briles, Baylor was irrelevant except for a very brief stretch in the 80's where we saw limited success. But that was the extent of it. Briles came, success came, and then improvements came to our program.
Only an entitled fool would refuse to recognize playing in a BCS bowl was a big deal for little ol' Baylor. We aren't Alabama or Ohio State. We aren't expected to play in such games. The fact we even got there was quite an accomplishment.
Glad Morriss started the facility push, but Briles achieved success before Baylor got caught up on facilities. The Heisman Trophy essentially built our new stadium.
Look, we know you hate Briles, but you make yourself look stupid when you attempt to credit Morriss for our success, or when you attempt to diminish his. We aren't UT or Alabama. We won 4 conference games in 7 years prior to his arrival. You need perspective little buddy, and I am happy to provide it to you. Let me know if you need some more.
Apples and Oranges, there weren't eleventy billion bowls and automatic bids if you hit .500 in the era Teaff coached, any and all bowls carried more prestige and were a bigger deal.
We beat Clemson in the 1979 Peach Bowl, lost a pair of Cotton Bowls to Penn State and Alabama coached by Jo Pa and Bear Bryant, beat Colorado and lost to a Jimmy Johnson coached Oklahoma State in a pair of Blue Bonnet Bowls, beat top #10 ranked LSU in the 1985 Liberty Bowl, lost to Indiana qb Trent Green in the 1991 Copper Bowl, beat Arizona in the 1992 Hancock bowl in Teaff's final game.
So I'd argue Baylor under Teaff had a pretty distinguished bowl run considering the dynamic of the era, a pretty impressive run.
Compare that to Biles run:
2010 humiliation to Illinois in Texas Bowl
2011 shootout triumph over Washington in Alamo Bowl
2012 romp of UCLA in Holiday Bowl
2013 humiliation to UCF in Fiesta Bowl
2014 sloppy meltdown finish to Michigan State in Cotton Bowl
2015 blowout of North Carolina in Russell Athletic Bowl
Briles didn't beat any more prestigious programs in prestigious bowls than Teaff ever did, and he lost his two most prestigious bowls despite being favorite, whereas Teaff lost his two most prestigious bowls against vastly superior opponents.
