(Sell) For one damn time, the University of Texas needs to flex some damn financial muscle and make the kind of dynamic, big-boy hire that guarantees success. That's not what the Tom Herman hire was. That's not what the Charlie Strong hire was. Those were the best hires available because Texas subscribed to the theory of not being the force that lifts coaching salaries in the sport to the kind of levels that cause academic people to cry out in vain. I don't think Texas will ever be the force I think it should be, but it's what I believe it should aim to be.
That's also not what last spring's punting on Shaka Smart was.
