Not me. JT is not being put in a position to succeed. We're a run to throw team. There's no creativity. Not enough run calls when it's proven to work.

Urban needs to let Kevin Wilson install his own offense.

I mean, it's both at this point. The system of side-to-side passes and QB runs for 1 half and desperate playcalling the 2nd is not conducive to QB play. But neither is a QB who limits your passing options to within 15 yards of the LOS.

Part of me wonders how much of JT's regression was Urban vs. Tim Beck the past few years. There are many articles stating how Urban strongly emphasizes not turning the ball over. I think he may have overdone it - JT is almost too scared to throw the ball now. He's overthinking everything. Anyways, none of us have an office in the Woody so it's all conjecture at this point. Hopefully the men who are paid the big bucks to figure this shit out, do so.

Urban says the OCs run his playbook. I think the urban playbook needs to be retired. I'd like to see him give Kevin Wilson full control of the offense.

God, NFB, I get it. But who do we have on the bench who is better? You and the fan boys liking your post need to answer that, then ask yourself WTF it would do to keep Oklahoma to something less than 490 yards of offense?

Is JT flawed? FUCK YEAH! I'm not oblivious to that. But I'm also not going to lazily throw this debacle all on his back. Defense sucked. Receivers did nothing. It's easy to say put in the next QB, but there's no reason to assume he's better and the other problems go away if he comes in.

Wanna replace JT, have at it. Just don't be surprised if the other problems still persist, and maybe - just maybe - you end up with a few more.

Well, it's worth a fucking shot, isn't it? Why stick with something that's not working because the alternative might be worse? JT was terrible tonigh. He wasn't alone and nobody claimed that. But he plays the most important position on the field. The secondary clearly needs time to grow but JT is what he is. Time to stop living in denial. He hasn't looked good against a quality D since 2014. It's time to give Burrows a chance

I can't argue any of that. But, you know what you have with Barrett, and in most games that count, it is not good. With what we've seen from JT, we are not winning a National Title. We need a lot of work in a lot of areas to even hope to win the B1G. If that's the case, why not give Haskins a shot? He has the recruiting accolades, and the coaches have raved about him. Maybe he falls on his face, yeah. But we're we going anywhere with the current configuration? But, maybe he gives you a spark. He'll, he can't me much worse than what JT has done in three of the last four games.

Hell, I don't know. There's a reason guys a lot smarter than me earn a lot more than me to make these decisions. Anyway, that's the last I'm saying about it tonight. Buenos Noches.

I'll say it one more time: wanna replace JT? Have at it.

Just don't be surprised if the defensive issues persist, the wide receivers still don't make plays, and the new QB still "holds the ball too long".

Best of luck to us. Win the B1G.

Hot Takes from Texas Game edition:

RBs, DL and OL except prince your jobs are safe.
Everyone else to the pit it's time to fight for your jobs.
Urban - give up your offense - give it to Wilson and Day and focus on running the team.
Schaino - dude play calling. 2nd of Indiana was great but 3 of 4 quarters has been bad
Schaino and Combs - please dear god teach the guys to LOOK FOR THE FOOTBALL
Davis - wow, I got nothing your unit got torched worse than Big Tex a couple years ago.
LJ - you need true NTs badly.
Smith - I hope the freshman are going to step up or it's time for you to step out
Studs - find me some better combo
Wilson - you had 2 good series all game. Unacceptable
Day - either work some psychological voodoo on Barrett or it's time to move on
