Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3504296, member: 7492"] Actually, no, I just want two things: 1. To get you off of the whole PAC12 rant. It's becoming redundant 2. To know if you had anyone else in mind, (BTW which I never have proposed nor would propose any of the candidates you listed-ever). I am of the school and logic that those types of coaches have already built their legacy and earned every right and have enough financial stability to stay and keep those programs on the trend they are on, with the exception of McGruff who is not in the same class as that group. But hey, you keep denying you want Kelly and propose name like Cori Close who isn't even as good a recruiter as Aston and only a slightly better than x's and o's than her. Or Adia Barnes who, when she actually plays a respectable OOC and wins, I will say she's a national level coach. Pay either of them oodles of your Longhorn network money and still underachieve. The problem is Texas thinks it is in the "elite set of programs" within WCBB due to 1 title by Conradt (n 1984 no less), but honestly, it is in the 2nd or 3rd tier of programs at best (15-30 range) on a national level. Here is why, in my view, the stats show Texas is not elite: Since 1990 (30 years ago), Texas has made 1 Final Four (2003), 1 Elite Eight (2016), 5 Sweet 16's, 8 2nd round, 9 1st round exits (including last year) and missed the NCAAT 5 times. That is not an elite program record of success. It is a good program but to think you should get a great coach due to your standing? Um, I don't think so. Would the AD show the patience or the honesty that your program is not truly elite to allow the "rebuild" of it to hopefully get to the national level annually. Texas will not be UConn, ND, Stanford, Tennessee, SC or Baylor worthy. Texas is like North Carolina, Purdue, USC, Texas Tech who think because they won 1 title, they are elite despite years of nothing. You'd be lucky for the Longhorns to get into the Maryland, Ohio State tier of conference champs, top 10-15 annual rankings, regularly listed for top seeding discussion. I used to like Texas (I grew up watching Donna Lopiano pitch for the Brackettes) but now with their sense of entitlement in all sports, notably football, I enjoy the spectacle of their failures. This is no different. Best of luck to your pipe dream on Kelly, oh wait, I am sorry, I forgot, you really don't want him. At least with the Lady Vol fans, they were a "somebody", so I understood their entitlement in this sport...:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
