  1. this is about a week old but I feel like Bakich is the best option based on this opinion * The waiting game continues to see what Athletic Director Chris Del Conte will do with regard to the head coaching position at Texas. Officially, there is no opening at this time, as David Pierce remains the head coach. Behind the scenes though, there have been multiple conversations that have occurred to gauge interest, find out what it would take, etc. At this time, all sources continue to advise that a change will be made. While most expected it to happen immediately once the Horns were eliminated from the season, that is not modus operandi for CDC. The revealing of the new golf coach is a great example of that. In addition, CDC has spent quite a bit of time this week in Oklahoma City as the Horns softball team looks to bring home a national title. Silence is golden and CDC has not come out and said, no, this is our guy. I tend to believe that there will be much more movement after this weekend. * Getting into the list of names, here are the names that have been floated and a few quick notes on each. Jim Schlossnagle (Texas A&M) - could this one still happen? Sure, anything is possible, but based on what sources have said today, it feels like a bridge too far. Jay Johnson (LSU) - Most will scoff at this based on his recent national title and the school he is at, but there is mutual interest. The biggest hindrance to Johnson is his pay and the amount of money it will take to pry him away from Marucci, I mean LSU. Tony Vitello (Tennessee) - Maserati Tony was never really under consideration. CDC and Tony know each other from their days at TCU and as mentioned before, there is a personality conflict there. Reports are surfacing today that Tony is about to sign a sizable extension and you can close the book on this one becoming reality. Brian O'Connor (Virginia) - Elite defense and pitching. On the surface, not the sexiest name, but once you look at how he runs his programs and the success he has had, you start to love what he could bring. I haven't yet had anyone say, he is out. I also haven't had anyone say that there is a huge mutual interest. Erik Bakich (Clemson) - Young, energetic, develops, and knows how to get the most out of a program. Bakich in my opinion would be a slam dunk hire. Texas would be getting one of the premier young head coaches in the nation. His salary also makes this a very attractive option. Skip Johnson (Oklahoma) - There are certainly boosters that would like to see it happen, I just don't get the feeling talking to folks around Texas that he would be considered. Rob Vaughn (Alabama) - A true dark horse in the race, he has only been at Bama for a year, but he was mighty impressive at Maryland and is highly regarded in the baseball circles. If this was 3-5 years down the line, he probably gets a look, but unfortunately, probably not in contention at this juncture.
  2. We all know what happened the last time CDC hired a coach over a coffee and an egg mcmuffin.
  3. The person that started this topic is probably one of the same ones bitching about "Embrace the Hate"
  4. We can't keep the SEZ seats full now and you guys want to add more seats. WTF?!
  5. https://twitter.com/JorfiD/status/1630575578880389120?s=20
  6. Is Texags up in arms about what Schloss said last night at the baseball game?
  7. How do you determine conference championship game participants in a pod system? I think it's gotta be east and west. Play 7 divisional conference games and rotate 2 other teams from the other division.
  8. We're gonna expect Texas to be better after losing Bijan and Rojo
  9. From a well known hot shot attorney on OB..... The case will likely be dismissed in due course but Texas will not allow him back and that the decision goes all the way up to Eltife's desk. The details of his exit are all that remain.
  10. Supposedly, they're still hoping to throw $2 million a year at Riley
  11. So why haven't our future games with Georgia and Florida been cancelled yet?
  12. It was a 10-7 game The double pass TD came after the onside kick for a 17-7 lead We stomp their ass 34-3 to finish the game Not sure where your 14 point swing comes from
  13. Yes because every game is different. I bet we have a slight hangover and don't cover the spread. We're a hit or two away from seeing Wright or Rojo run the wildcat all game long. And I've seen way too many Kansas games in my lifetime. One good Bama game doesn't convince me we've turned the corner.
  14. First 50 games at A&M…… Sumlin 36-14 Jimbo: 35-15
  15. Ewers NIL company wasn’t gonna pay him to sit the bench
  16. Stop. He was out of the NFL at 26 years old. 7 catches, 69 yards and 0 TDs I like Sweed and he was a great longhorn and will always be remembered for his Ohio State catch. But most everyone will tell you, he didn’t pan out. Maybe due to injury or “personal reasons”.
  17. His Ohio State catch is his best moment (and even that catch was bobbled). His hands are why he’s still not in the NFL.
  18. Our lack of championships is equally amazing, shitty and puzzling.
  19. If all things go well, he only plays 2 years
