OT- What is Texas Doing?!

[MattMang23]

They hired a search firm to find the next coach!

Texas: Athletic director Steve Patterson has appointed an eight-person committee for the head coaching search. He also has hired recruiting firm Korn/Ferry to help in the search.

Unreal! Shouldn't the AD have coaches phone numbers on speed dial already? What the hell do search firms do? It's the AD's job to be plugged in so that when a job comes open he's already ready to fill it. What a waste of 50K!

Just because everyone does it, it doesn't mean it's not a scam. But this is definately something we need to discuss some more so good job bringing it up again.

 

[MattMang23]

Thank you. A compliment from you is something to be cherished.

Eat more fiber.

Lets see...if Texas can get a coach by just saying it is open, who can?

 

[sportsart]

I gotta say Matt...that sig picture hurts the eyes. One with Warde and Bob might be easier on the eyes. Just sayin...

 

[MattMang23]

I know. Gotta change it but I have to access the boneyard on the computer rather than iPhone to do that. It will be done shortly.

 

[Fishy]

Why don't they just Google the numbers of the coaches they want to talk to?

Whatever you find to replace it, make it smaller.

They have completely screwed this whole thing up. They should have begged Mack to stay one more year and take another run at Saban if they didn't have Mora, Gruden, or someone of that ilk lined up.

Seriously. How do you run your coach out of town before you have a sure thing lined up to replace him?

Terrible job by them. And as a UConn fan I've known terrible coaching searches.

Not recently though

 

[ZooCougar]

Texas should have hired Tom Jurich. He would have messaged Saban on Facebook and it would have been a done deal. Just ask Ruskin.

Saban looked to be waiting to sign his Alabama extension, until he knew what Mack would be doing at Texas. When it appeared that Mack was returning, as he announced he wasn't stepping down, Saban went ahead and signed his Alabama extension. ...THEN Mack resigned! Gotta love it...it sure seems like Mack coordinated this so that the next Texas coach would be anybody...other than Saban.

"Brown's contract says he will receive at least $500,000 a year through 2020, but he's seeking as much as $1.3 million a year as special assistant to Texas president Bill Powers, the newspaper reported, though a school official said that request would not be approved by the university's regents."

Is that some form of a "buyout"?!?!?

If Malzahn gets the UT job (I REALLY hope he stays at Auburn), Mack will regret doing that. Malzahn can outdo Mack and Saban combined in terms of total national championships won at AU and/or UT. Both schools have the resources for him to succeed.

Doubt that. He can win a championship or two, but he is not better than Saban. At all.

I just saw a stat that Mack Brown's 2005 national championship team was Texas's first NC team since 1970? I actually lived in Texas for a year and it was during the 2005 season.

That NC game was amazing and to live in Texas before and after one would think Texas was the current Alabama. FWIW...my wife had an illness and the doctor she chose in Texas was an TX AM grad. I told him I was pulling for Texas in the NC game. No wonder he misdiagnosed her. Seriously...didn't find out until we got back to CT.

I hate all things Texas. Except for Ryan Griffin.

Who knew? Texas has 1 NC team since 1970. Perception is 90% of college football.

Texas is always the best... just ask them.

It is, but they are always in the mix. They played Bama for the national title recently and lost when Colt McCoy got hurt early. Also, they can just pluck successful HCoaches from other programs at will. Took Mack Brown from UNC, before that grabbed John Mackovic from Illinois. No better built in recruiting advantage. That really is a plum job, even with the unrelistic expectations.

 

[whaler11]

Texas caused a good amount of their own problems. Their greed set everything in motion. Wasn't enough to just financially dominate the Big 12. They had to have the network. An easy program to root against.

I recommend Paul Pasqualoni.

I don't know. I think George Deleone finally deserves a chance to be the head coach!

Ah Yes, he has so many plays you could wall paper a room with them and he's so inspiring.

Medic there is ZERO chance Jurich can retain Strong if Texas decides he is their guy. It will be interesting to see what Jurich does if Strong leaves.
