We freely gave an extension when there was no reason and burned that money. Let’s use reason and cut bait with a failed coach.
Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Coaching update, Sam's meeting with Tom and more...)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
A loss is a loss in the NBA. The score doesn’t matter. Once saw the lakers lose game one of the finals by 34 and then win four of the next 5. It’s more about how you respond to the Loss than the loss itself In Basketball.
We likely won't "see it" because CDC is terrified of making such a move. Not because the BMDs won't fund even a "lower tier" replacement.
Then these “BMDs” aren’t who they think they are.
I’ve seen talk the President and BMDs follow recruiting. That rings hollow for me currently. See how it plays out.
Sorry, but we’ve heard that for what seems like 10 years now. At some point you are what your record says you are. Love the dude...but it’s time to move on.
... All it took for me to get into the Dallas game and root for a win was to see DeSean Jackson clowning on the Cowboys in the first quarter. Anger activated. Draft position be damned.

Among the certainties of life is that DeSean Jackson is a clown.

When Gus was fired I asked an Auburn fan who might not be BMD but who I think gives a decent amount to Auburn football what he thought about our pursuing Malzahn. He said, "You could do worse. Competing against Nicky is tough. I'd still look elsewhere."
He always comments in understatement unlike many comments by OBers here. I take that as a No Go suggestion.
If so it will likely be the only thing fun that has happened this entire season.
A few weeks ago you posted a list of your top 5 "realistic" (I believe that was the term, or something close) possible HC replacements...I know you had Harsin on it, and I think Elliot was on it. I want to say the other 3 were Franklin, Campbell, and Sarkisian.
Harsin is now off the table. Assuming a change gets made, do you believe the next HC is going to be one of the remaining 4?
He'll be a head coach at a school like Louisville.
I never assume anyone at Texas thinks remotely like I do.
Do you remember the article I am referring to? Was this the 5 "realistic" candidates that you most preferred, or the ones you thought UT was looking at?
I still favor Mario Cristobal, but I guess that ship has sailed. I also think Texas will regret it.
Correct...the glory years of the arcade era. Hall and Oates were monsters at that time. Really miss those days sometimes...
Of course. For pre-teens/teens, being able to go to the arcade was a rite of passage. Not to mention it was the place to score Earth, Wind & Fire tix.
SOL for BOC tix though
They were one Harsin second-guess away from a complete and total disaster. @RLong68 seems to believe talk of other offers was all smoke but respected guys like Thamel and Feldman reported that Napier and Venables turned down the job, among others. I don’t know what direction they would have gone if they missed on Harsin.
that’s the risk.
Texas should no better than anyone in the country now that you do not want a Charlie Strong. I’m fully convinced Mack would have had a better record 2014 through 2016.

LOL. I mean, it's always just to spin thing. I never said Harsin was or wasn't Auburn's first choice. I simply said you can't believe every single report of Coach So and So turning down a job. We don't know who did or didn't get a legit offer. I mean, just because Auburn has the nerve to inquire about a HC services or even interview a HC, it doesn't mean they were "offered" the f'n job.
In my opinion there is a difference between what Auburn247 or Football Scoop or random Twitter guy reports, and Thamel and Feldman,who are usually pretty nails on this stuff Hook Em
Thinking outside the box, ie no established P5 head coach, Elliott is an intriguing prospect. I probably wouldn't pass on either Kelly or Campbell for Elliott. But, after those guys, I hope the powers that be take a hard look at him. College football is rapidly evolving and, like it or not, if UT wants to get back to being elite, it needs to evolve as well. He may be the best option to compete in the maket that is coming as opposed to what has been. Kelly is a good organizer and a pramatist and I expect that he will also adapt well. However, a younger man may be better suited to lead the effort.
+1. He has had his day. We need a new regime and a new QB moving forward.
And exactly what did either report? Did EITHER say Coach So and So was OFFERED the job?
I don't know if it hurts or helps our program long term if Sam returns. We need to let the others grow up to keep the recruiting of QBs going. If Sam was a Trevor Lawrence, I would have a different opinion. But for two seasons in a row, he has been hit or miss on many games. Its probably why he entertains coming back. His resume still needs work. Are we as a program better off with another hit or miss year while not allowing the others to develop and play? I don't know the answer but I do wonder.
Oh, of course. But, Tony Elliott is a perfect example of someone that I would look at that Texas will never look at right now.
