Those rants will do zero good.
Maybe at a half time or something they could help but you can only do those every so often.

I think CMC lays off the rah rah or incite anger or seriousness speeches early on in the season for a reason, they just lose their luster after a while.

If I was coaching Texas on Saturday in Ames, I'd be pretty mad too. That team quit. As it has been for years, their program is a complete mess. Changing coaches or conferences won't fix what's wrong there. The amazing thing about it all is they don't see it. The fans, the administration, the players, the Texas media....none of them see it. It's everyone else's fault.

Texas will never solve the problem until they admit what the problem REALLY is. The Texas fans and the so called expert pundits say their problem is lack of talent. That's a joke. Since 2017, how many 4 or 5 star recruits has each team signed? 4 for Iowa State. 70 for Texas. That's right, 70.

Texas thinks they can solve their problem by raiding the transfer portal and picking up players like Rattler. As if they don't think their locker room atmosphere is bad enough.

Texas's problem is culture, and you have to develop culture the hard way. You can't go out and buy it. Until Texas admits this and commits to climbing up the mountain instead of always looking for the escalator, they're going to struggle. So get used to them struggling.

Hey a rants a rant. It's a violent game played by aggressive players and coached by the same. These kids have been yelled at like that since middle school. I had a high school coach grab my face mask as I was running off the field and he nearly broke my neck. Yelled and spit in my face for what seemed like a minute. My dad said after telling him about it, "well maybe you've learned when to open your mouth.". That was that.
I think what's odd about this rant is telling the kids if they want out, leave. Very strange platform and timing to be screaming that.

I'm sure it's not like this today, but that's what my middle school coaches were like all the time. Of course we sucked and routinely got our asses kicked so they were mad a lot. Somehow all the yelling and screaming didn't make us better. Go figure.

CMC is the polar opposite, preaches consistency and process, after a while its just an ingrained habit. CMC is a mentor of mine, more a mentor possibly than anyone in my life and I have never met the guy. I have known people that try to get results by screaming, its self serving and pointless for the most part.

There seems to be a bit of a disconnect there. Sark states how they "battled their butt off" the whole ball game and that "it wasn't about effort." And yet here's another coach on staff who clearly feels like they didn't care enough and weren't taking things seriously.

Could be they just have different approaches, but it more so seems like Sark is starting to hide this dumpster fire from the media behind a wall of bland comments that are full of ****.

What an epic meltdown for them to be in the midst of while trying to tout their way out of the Big 12 and into the SEC.

Some Texas fan called into Murph & Andy yesterday; supposedly he was sitting behind the Texas bench, and after a 3 and out or bad drive some of the players were coming off the field and joking around/yukking it up.

I'm not a "no fun of any kind" personality, but you shouldn't be in good spirits if you're getting blown out like that.

It's time they bring in Matthew McConaughey for some inspiration.

"OK boys, you know Coach Davis loves you. Coach Davis wants the best for you. Coach Davis did get emotional, because he cares. But you know Coach Davis is right when he says he just got his ass kicked!.....
Screw it. All of you SOBs just got your ass kicked. By Iowa State for the third year in a row. Fricken losers. The eyes of Texas can't even look at you bastards right now. And forget the tranfer portal. Forget it. Coaches like they have in Ames wouldn't even take your fricken call. I'm out."

Maybe MM can have the players all sign a "Football Pledge"

Getting yelled at on the bus seems odd to me unless players are joking too much.

Leaking the video - yikes. Rock Chalk might have a shot this week...

Wouldn't be shocked if the staff is purposely trying to push players to transfer.

The problem goes beyond the players/coaches though. It's the fanbase, boosters and media. They are all part of the problem.
