Texas Needs Glue Guys
Cole Cubelic
Here's my biggest question with Texas right now. Who are your hard hat guys? Who are your utility workers? Like, who are your glue guys in the facility? I've been in there and heard Sark talk about Jake Majors, Gunnar Helm, Jolly Baron, Michael Taaffe, Anthony Hill Jr. — these sort of program guys. They could have said, "Hey man, you need to do cartwheels on this play if we're going to get a stop," and he'd be doing 20 cartwheels to the sideline. I'm not saying they don't have them. I'm telling you — I don't know who those guys are for Texas right now.
Context
The diagnostic question Cole keeps returning to. 2025 Texas had named, identifiable glue guys (Majors, Helm, Baron, Taaffe, Hill Jr.). 2026 Texas — Cole can't name them, and that's the real concern, not Arch.
Dan picks this up in the debrief: in a portal era, continuity is the differentiator. Adding Rasheem Biles from Pittsburgh might give you a strong spring, but he hasn't been there with these guys when things go bad in October.
