Coaching Addition: Texas football welcomes Matt Moran as a new special teams assistant, replacing Jeff Crosby, who moved to Appalachian State. Moran, with a background in philosophy from Bowdoin College and graduate work at Stanford, aims to improve Texas’ special teams performance.

Special Teams Struggles: Texas’ special teams, a strength in Steve Sarkisian’s first three years, became a liability last season. Key issues included missed kicks and penalties negating big plays. The hope is that Moran can rebuild this unit’s effectiveness.

Salaries & Coaching Evolution: Over the last decade, college football coaching salaries have dramatically increased. A comparison of Texas’ 2015 and 2025 coaching staff salaries highlights how assistants today earn more than some FBS head coaches.

Judging Players by Their Era – The discussion on how to fairly compare football legends across different generations, emphasizing their dominance during their respective eras rather than trying to fit them into modern football standards.

Schadenfreude Moment: Texas A&M Baseball Collapse – Texas A&M baseball started the season ranked #1 but quickly dropped out of the rankings after being swept by Alabama, giving Texas fans a reason to celebrate at their rival’s expense.
