Riley Ferguson is a stud and has put on thirty pounds in the off season program. Said he's got his act together after leaving UT and working a year in a tire factory while away from football and is working his ass off, going to be a special player.

Said he's certain we'll be in the Big 12 and Fred Ex is making sure of it with a boatload of money, he did say that he's not in a hurry to get there and will enjoy dominating the AAC.

He said our skill players are better than what he coached during his 4 years at ASU which I thought was interesting considering what ASU has done offensively during that time.

Our back field is insane, Henderson is the man to watch out for and he's going to light it up. Cooper transferred because he got beat out for the job and with the type of runners we have says alot because Cooper was a legit back for us last year.

He's confident we'll be in there for the AAC title this year, this team will be very competitive and will win alot of games says our skill level is on that level, the Houston game will be huge.

Our weakness will be up front and our DB's, we're not very deep on both lines and our secondary. If we can stay healthy he said we should be ok.

He said we're straight up killing it on the recruiting trail though, after looking him up and seeing he was a Rivals and 247.com top 25 recruiter I'd be willing to bet that we're recruiting some studs along with developing what we have.

I know none of this is ground breaking info but I was so impressed by him that I just wanted to share this with yall and I could see why young kids would want to play for him, he's a very intriguing guy. He's got me pumped for this season for sure.

Wish you would word the thread title a little better. Makes it sound as if we just announced a new offensive coordinator.
