[QUOTE="GT14, post: 602409, member: 3056"] I'm so sorry, mods. Tom Herman had some interesting insight into Parker Braun's transition from Tech's offense to Texas' "spread offense" at the Big 12 Media Days. In my mind, the comments are rather revealing as to how our OL might have to transition this year. [URL]https://www.burntorangenation.com/2019/7/24/20726663/parker-braun-tom-herman-texas-longhorns-herb-hand[/URL] Of particular note would be these quotes from Tom Herman himself: "...the things he was being taught and asked to do are completely different than a conventional offense like ours" (Parker missed Spring, so he only has four weeks of practice with the team prior to the first game) "It’s like trying to learn another language in four weeks. I don’t know if they have a Rosetta Stone for spread offense or whatever." “We know that the physical tools are there,” Herman said. “It’s the technique and fundamentals that he’s going to have to learn very, very quickly. We hope he’s able to pick that up.” Personally, I feel like there are more analogs between Parker's transition and the transition of our own OL than meet the eye. Herb Hand is UT's OL coach and has been a finalist for the offensive line coach of the year three times by Football Scoop, and has a salary of $650k; Brent Key was at least a finalist for the same award in 2018 although I can't find more data than that, and has a salary of $600k. Having watched Texas last year, I expect our offense will look very similar to the Sam Ehlinger sling it or battering ram them style that beat uga in the Sugar Bowl. The author even describes UT's offense as a "pro spread attack" which seems remarkably similar to comments made by Geoff Collins. [/QUOTE]
