Their current AD has been there since 2012 and seems to have done a solid job. And CDC was here for years before Hartzell, not sure why there would be any expectation that they’re somehow linked together.

Texas has lost several presidents of the university. Cal Berkeley, Emory, and now SMU. It's not a premium job, mostly because of dealing with the politics in the state. 

Texas has never lost an athletic director to another school that I'm aware of. I'd have to go look up the guys who came before Dana X. Bible, and I'm not going to do that. This isn't A&M. 

Del Conte was never going to leave for the SMU job. Not sure why anyone even entertained the idea. It's a joke.

University presidents typically don't last that long - 5 years is the average. In fact, only 2 UT Austin presidents lasted close to a decade - Benedict (1927-1937) and Powers (2006-2015).
