Just months ago, esteemed poster IAppreciateIt described Billings as "a football genius."
I've missed those posts. Can you point them out? I do see posts bemoaning nepotism.
Billings was in charge of wideouts in 2006 and 2007, years where Morton was here and prospered as well as when Kenny Moore was moved to runningback, due to Billings' glowing recommendations. He moved to the secondary position in the 2008 and 2009 years, where Alphonso Smith broke the ACC record in interceptions (2008) and gave glowing credit to his positions coach, and then Josh Bush (although we all had issues) was ultimately taught how to play the secondary position in general and became an All-American (you all may have issues with this characterization but that's fine).
He worked with defensive ends last year where Wilbur became a stud before being moved to the linebacker position, and then this year worked with outside linebackers where Wilbur again excelled. We can all just place this under the luck of Billings having had good talent, but I think he's done a hell of a job. As I also mentioned, he's been in charge of Texas recruiting all this time.
As to the Lobo nepotism bullshit, it's just that. Bullshit. Grobe's treatment of Lobo, for better or worse, has been consistent going way back before any of this.
It's not their fault they're being used to prop up her brother-in-law's career.
As stunned as people may be over this fact:
An esteemed member of our mod crew who doesn't normally agree with me and Numbers both agreed over their love for Billings.
SAD DAY
Aren't you Numbers?
Pure speculation here - Makes you wonder if the Josh Harris situation didn't have something to do with it. He recruits Texas so Josh was one of his recruits, Josh is a big-time talent but finds himself in Grobo's doghouse.
Things like that can fester, words get exchanged, and you've got a falling out between coaches. Again, just pure speculation.
from the journal article. I know some will be happy to see this
"He said he is considering changing the responsibilities for the remaining assistants on staff."

The defense forced 4 turnovers that the offense converted into 7 points.
