Our facilities are way better these days so we're not at that enormous disadvantage as in our past. Pat Jones has said on the radio that when they did oncampus visits with recruits they purposefully avoided the stadium. Everything else is correct, you don't force a guy out one year removed from a CCG appearance becasue of one bad season, the first losing season in 20 years. If they wanted to fire him it shouldn't be about the season but his off the cuff comments that keeps getting him in trouble. He's grumpy about it, as are a bunch of coaches at all levels, but has adapted to NIL and the portal like everyone else. When people go off aobut firing him I always remind them that the University of Texas, the bluest of the blue bloods with all the money in the world, went through a decade of medicrity through three bad coaching hires, why would anyone think we'd hit gold all of a sudden? If he goes the way of Mack Brown we might consider it after a few more bad years, but not this year, that's crazy. If he doesn't replace the coordinators though, I'll be pushed pretty far to the skeptics side, his biggest problem has been stubbornness with his assistant coaches. He made a comment at his last presser that programs that want to win are investing in the coaching staff, makes me wonder if he's pressuring the University for a bigger budget to hire coordiators. He made a dumbass comment last year when he hired Brian Nardo out of DIII as defensive coordinator that we "could afford him." If he's grumpy about anything these days its the same gripe he's been passive aggressivly been harping on for years, the coaching budget.
