Hey, maybe Beard is a great coach. Maybe they are about to go on a great run (and if they do, good for them). But who knows? Historically, Texas has never been a powerhouse ... easy to predict that they might be really good next year ... hard to look at their past and say they're suddenly going to be really good practically every year for a decade (or 6 if we want to compare them to UK).


Please don't be comparing Bryce Drew to Chris Beard. Beard may or may not succeed, but that is unfair to him.

Comparing Bryce Drew to a canned ham would be a good debate, however...
I've had canned ham better.

I didn't compare them ... just pointing out that a new coach that people are excited about and who seems to recruit well doesn't automatically mean big success.
