Personally, I hope Manning shows something and they do run off Malik Murphy directly into an NIL paid for by John Ruiz's sale of 3 boats and a duplex.

My dream scenario:

1) Quinn starts the year off and after a shaky start, goes 3-3 after first 6 games. People start clamoring for Arch to start.
2) Arch gets plugged in and does so so.
3) Spring time comes and Sark declares an open comp. Murphy knows he won't get a fair shot - he portals.
4) Arch "wins" the spring battle and Quinn transfers to SMU
5) Arch leads Texas to a 5-7 record in 2024 and Sark gets fired.

To anyone that has been following recruiting, this is completely unsurprising.

My dream scenario might come true! To recap:

1) Ewers starts the year up and down and goes 3-2/3-3 and there are talks about Arch.
2) Ewers gets benched and Arch plays decent, Texas wins a couple games and they end up 8-4 or something
3) next spring there's an "open competition" and Arch wins it.
4) Ewers transfers and Murphy transfers as well.
5) Arch starts 24 season, struggles. Texas goes 7-5 and disappoints.
6) Sark fired

Ewers looked okay to me last year! Texas worse than is when it comes to patience and expectations.

I can honestly see this playing out in some way similar.

Malik Murphy is the goods and Steve knows this. Manning will get a chance but I think Manning will Hit the Portal.

Depends.

If Ewers returns in 2024, Malik is gone

If Ewers leaves for the NFL, it basically has been said that the job thereafter would be Arch’s. Plans can change, but Malik was not part of their long term plans.

Ewers also had a perfect recruiting rating, and looked good to fantastic last year in his first year in the system. There’s almost no way that Arch - who did not look great in the spring game - overcomes him absent injuries to Quinn and Malik.

I DO understand that.

I wasn't in my wife's long range plans either.

Been together for decades now - things change. That's the one constant in the universe.

(I think I'm starting to grow on her)

Of course. Let’s say Quinn goes down with an injury in Game 1, and Malik leads them to a 14-1 record. At that point it would be very unlikely that he would be allowed to leave; Texas would put a very competitive NIL package.

But let’s say Quinn plays well the entire year, and Malik only sees limited action. At that point it’s still theoretical as to his potential as a starter. Just like Arch. And then I have to fall back to the UT coach this year basically excluding Malik in conversations about quarterbacking in the future.
