Shawn Watson's Out, Jay Norvell's In - Now what for the Texas Longhorns?

When you write a piece like this...

OK, just kidding. Shawn Watson's succinct and stormy tenure as Texas' Assistant Head Coach In Charge of Offense (we see you, bolo-tie Oklahoma State lawyers!) doesn't warrant a deep, insightful, Speaker For the Dead-style assaying of all his faults and virtues like this one, and I couldn't pull it off, anyway. It's still worth sparing a moment for Watson. He's a fundamentally good dude who was looking at a fundamentally bad hand by Game Two of the 2014 season, but his efforts to re-tool a primarily West Coast approach for a post(concussion) David Ash world and work some QB Whisperer magic on Tyrone Swoopes came up sadly and badly lacking.
