Mack is not required to fire GD so it could happen. My guess is that Major was responsible for the sweet changes we saw in the run game, put him officially in charge of the run game architecture. Bobby Kennedy can be assigned to ripping off Tech's passing game (especially the receiver routes and screen game. Major can start calling the running plays and encouraged to override bad play calls. Game plan production can be collaborative endeavor. The solution is to delegate some of GD’s duties to other staff members (call it personel development).

He would be perfect in the H-back role (which he ran while at UT). Can you imagine running this offense with Brock Edwards at TE? He would be perfect in the H-back role (which he ran while at UT).

This is the same way he runs his game plans.....admittedly. He likes to collect data all the first half, then dial in a game plan to win for the second half. Instead of learning to type, he hunts and pecks......but at the end of the day.....we still have a good letter. It is Davisian, you never get what you want, but you end up getting what you need. Davis is the kid that was so smart, he never had to study, and eeked out B+'s all the time. Every once in a while, he runs into an adjunct professor that hands him his ass at KState or A&M. I hate his method, we all collectively do, but in the end, he makes the adjustment, just not when we want it. His method if you were to try to understand it, would leave you in awe thinking you were before a genious, only to later realize he could be less analytical, less strategic, and skip most of his steps to get there. Unfortunately, he is mostly stubborn and could save all of us a lot of time, if he'd just pull over and ask directions.

Somewhere, Brent Musburger is feeling an irresistable urge to protect his junk. “anyone who still refers to Applewhite as “the Major” needs to be kicked in the balls 11 times.”

You guys should see some of the battles Nordberg, Levander and I (as well as a few educated others) get in over there in regards to GD and the offense in general. Usually goes something like this: HF Thread Title: 16-13, SUCK IT Greg Davis Bashers Me: You are bragging about scoring 16 points with almost our entire offense back? Seriously? HF Poster: Idiot. Check the stats. Pretty sure we're number one in the country in scoring offense!!! God some people will bitch about anything. Me: One, we're talking about OU, where we scored 16 points. Two, those stats don't take into account how many points our ST and D have scored. Another HF Poster: Wow haven't you seen what GD has done with the offense over the past (insert random number) years??? We won a NC in 2005 and had the highest scoring offense in history. Dumbass. Me: We also had that Vince Young guy. He was pretty good, wasn't he? You think Greg could make what happened that year happen if VY weren't there? Rex Kramer: Obviously you know nothing about football. Pretty sure Greg Davis has a lot more coaching experience than you, plus he gets (insert absurdly high number) head coaching offers every day but turns them down because he loves where he's at right now and UT is the best team of all time. Besides, who cares how many points we scored. Will Muschamp said "stats are for losers," so I am going to use that line in defense of Greg Davis every time we have half as many yards of total offense against CU as Toledo (yet another instance of Muschamp saving GD's ass). Me: If stats are for losers, why does it matter if we are the number 1 scoring offense in the nation? HF Posters United: ...because we have the NUMBER 1 SCORING OFFENSE in the nation!!! Me: *sigh* Private Message: You have been banned for 2 weeks for (insert highly logical quote). Don't you ever learn? With your past history, you're lucky we haven't banned you completely. Don't you know not to insult our coaches in that manner? Haha that post pretty much sums up both OB and HF.
