Vic Schaefer to Texas

[SimpleDawg]

Vic left Miss St. and the only thing he didn't accomplish there was win a national championship.

Vic was born in Austin, and honestly that decision had to do mostly if not solely with the fact that he is a family man. The only assistant guaranteed to go with him is Blair Schaefer. No surprise that the only people happy about this decision is Vic, his wife, his son, and daughter.

Will be fun to see the battles going forward between Texas and Baylor. I think it will take Vic several years to field a competitive team, but I would think he should be able to start taking recruits away from Baylor.

Any girl who is a lesbian, or questioning her sexuality, will have a great in-state school that won't push her back into the closet.

I don’t get it. Isn’t the previous coach gay? Surely Texas was already welcoming to those girls.

LoL. The Texas AD has a private plane available to him. There was a maximum of 1 phone calls that was necessary here. The TX AD calls Vic and says do you want this job? My plane will be in Starkville in a few days to pick you and the family up. How do you like your steaks?

Don't be surprised if it was Vic or his agent who reached out to Texas first. Sounds like this was all bout Vic wanting to return to the state of Texas NOW versus later (family, virus, world climate related?).

Schaefer was born in Houston, May of ‘61.

Ah, ok. Some websites say he was born in Austin and some say Houston. Let's just say he's a Texas man.

He's dogging Baylor, not Texas.

rotflmao.... our guys have already gone to work on speculating who's gonna be our next head coach and already published a top 8.

Graves' name made it. I don't mean to offend the Oregon fans at all, but that has 0 chance of happening.

This is so weird to me because Vic is an Aggie through and through. I guess he really wanted to get back home. He just bought some land and was building a house outside of Starkville. He's said before that he grew up hating Texas (the school not the state).

Anyone remember when @JordyG said there was another shoe to drop in the Karen got fired thread?

I do.

Wow. Does someone actually think Graves would come to State?

I could like a lot of places if they want to pay me 2 mill

I do.

Was this really the shoe jordyG?

I know you post on the Mississippi State board. Check it out yourself.

Aggie tears are twice as nice today!

I am shocked that anyone could question the clear superiority of the Texas job over that of Miss St! Facilities, money, history and recruiting are all wayyyy better at Texas! They (Texas) have not had a really good coach for many years now! I think Kim is probably very disappointed over this hire! Not that she won’t win anymore but rather that it is going to be much more difficult.

Maybe.

Of course he had a deal already done, that’s how snakes operate. And you mean you don’t consider a phone call a long interview process?

I’m sure there was an extensive interview by phone as follows:

TX AD: Hi Vic. This is the University of TX AD calling. Will you take our head coaching job for $2 million a year?

Vic: Throw in an order of barbecue and you’ve got a deal.

TX AD: Let me get rid of Karen and I’ll call you right back.

You never know. I didn't think Vic was attainable. MSU can offer any coach $1.6 million or more. Graves barely bumped up to $700k after last season's Final Four. Doesn't hurt to express interest and let the dominoes fall where they may.

I'm sure Oregon is willing to raise his contract, especially if they fear he might seriously leave.

If it comes down to it, Phil Knight can probably find a few million dollars in loose change in his couch to keep Kelly Graves at Oregon.
