What the hell is going on with football in the state of Texas this year? With both the Cowboys AND Longhorns struggling there's not much to root for if you're a Texas fan. And it's not like they were supposed to have down seasons, I mean, the Cowboys returned 6 Pro-Bowlers and were a legit contender to come out of the NFC. So what happened? Sure it's easy to blame Wade Phillips for the Cowboys struggles, but was he really the whole problem? I certainly don't think so, and more importantly, I don't think Jason Garrett is the solution. They need someone who can bring out the immense talent they have and translate it to wins. Of course Jerry Jones and most ignorant 'boys fans are going to want the "big name" hire, but I think they should look at a less discussed option - Vikings D Coordinator Leslie Frazier. A defensive specialist like Frazier would be a great first step in improving a poor Dallas defense. Will Jones go for a "not Bill Cowher" type hire? Probably not, but he should.

Longhorns fans, however, may have a little more optimism than their Dallas counterparts. They'll return Quarterback Garrett Gilbert. More importantly they'll bring in the number 1 recruiting class in 2011, headed by OT Christian Westerman (#1 tackle in the country) and RB Malcolm Brown. If Mack Brown can turn things around in Austin, which he certainly can, things could look up for Texas in 2011.
