A lot of names on lists here are the speculative type of candidates we could afford to consider when we hired Strong. Yes, Mack had let things start to rot, but the program still had a prestige to it. We were still close enough to the Vince/Colt years that recruits had an expectation Texas would be great, so a coaching candidate didn't need to make a splash. Fast forward now, it has been 11 years since we were even respectable. Current recruits were 6-7 when Colt went down against bama. Since then, "Texas is back" has been a running joke. That's the punchline to their teen and prime playing years leading up to college. If your statement starts with "a good under the radar candidate is..." then you're already wrong. No under the radar candidate is good this time around. What will cost the program more, going all out for a big splash candidate now, or 1-2 more candidates and 4-8 more years of what we've had (by which point recruits won't have been alive the last time we were good). I hope our ad and bmds see the stakes clearly this time around. If it's someone exciting but unproven, he's wrong. If it's someone who doesn't immediately invigorate recruiting, he's wrong. There are probably only 3-5 candidates out there who clearly fit the mold, and Urban is the most obvious and available, hence the focus on him which should and will continue until we've officially hired him or been turned down.
