Yeah,  but look how many new posters we have here. Sure, some of them escaped a psychiatric ward, but they’re streaming in for imma. 
 

Back on topic since @Orange&White so rudely ran this thread off course:

Phillip Fulmer is an asshole and he’s the one responsible for Tennessee’s utter shitshow. He has destroyed that program. Like Mack Brown here, Fulmer thinks HE is Tennessee Football. He is what Mack would have been as AD and what Barry Alvarez is at Wisconsin. They can’t let anyone steal their thunder. 

Expand  

Fat Phil was and is an egotistical asshole, and you nailed the Tennessee problem.  Tennessee still tops my list of hated Gator rivals due to the games back in the 90s, so I love watching them roll in their own shit.  Having Spurrier skewer that guy every chance he could was one of the best parts of rooting for the Gators in the 90s.

Thanks for getting this thread back on topic.

And fuck sneks.

Yeah that's true - he is a rape enabling piece of shit. The important thing is there is will at the administration level and the booster level to bring people in that the coach deems necessary to win. I think you and I can both agree there is a difference between what Horny brings to the table and Pruitt. We will find out soon enough what all Pruitt did but if it's not show-cause worthy I think the administration will just weather the short term storm from average fans.

No it isn't.  Unless Terry Joseph has been named as an official coach by Texas and I missed.  It seemed to be the list of high level (meaning not FCB) rumors, but it was still rumors.  Now it is dead.

He's been reported as in the building. Do you think he's just here to interview?

I have to disagree, I think some of the stuff being posted here use to be talked about around the water cooler and would have been vented there instead of here but because of COVID-19 isolation it is being vented here. After losing the Urban thread clearly some posters miss the "magic" of that thread and are trying to recreate it here while others want to get back to the business of football. If it helps people's sanity to post here I guess it the times we live in right now. Last night's fucking GIF has no place anywhere at anytime and there is no excuse for that one. So hopefully people eventually take divorces back to the divorce thread and ice cream back to an ice cream thread etc.., etc.

Man Banks would be great to have - particularly on the recruiting trail. Still really want Wiggins though. Don't think Coleman has done a good job developing the receivers.

I asked my Tenn friend that follows this shit.   He said the rumor is Fat Phil leaked whatever the issues are to try to force Pruitt out without paying his buyout.  Who knows.  But it doesn't seem realistic Texas is going to hire Pruitt with all of that background noise.

Better get used to Coleman. If we're dialing in on Banks as allegedly suggested then he will be TE corch and Coleman WR coach.

Texas assistant budget last year was ~ 6.8 million

 

Any guesses on this years budget?

 

Likely saving money by not paying an OC 1.7 million - but if we hire a new DC they are likely going to get paid significantly more than Ash's 800k.

If we’re going after Banks, I think it indicates that we’re ready to start playing the game.

He had one year without any in-person spring practices. Retaining him isn't a slam dunk but if Sark thinks he's up for the task I see no reason to not believe him.

If Pruitt is fired "for cause" or steps down as a HFC under a cloud of investigation foregoing a buyout, that seems a little too much.   Particularly as I don't see how anyone could predict the ultimate fallout within the next week or so.

IMO we'll be about the 9-10 million mark.

 

Will likely pay the OC or co-oc's about 2-2.5 million combined. 

 

For the DC or co-dc's i'd guess about the same and upwards towards 3 million.

I mentioned this before - but Bill Snyder thought enough of Coleman to hire him as WR coach and then enough of him to promote him to the OC.  Herman didn't have a ton of options but thought enough of Coleman to promote him from an analyst to WR coach.  Now Sark, who seemingly has an almost unlimited budget and no restrictions thinks enough of Coleman to keep him on as WR coach.

If Coleman unchained means results closer to his actually-well-coached K-State WRs, and he's got Banks and Sark recruiting for him, then fuck it let's get it.

I'd think utn would have done it by now if they could.  Pruitt is calling their bluff.  I can't blame him 12m on the line.  Then again, he should settle on an undisclosed amount (half) and a public statement clearing his name.  It would be a win win for everyone and no NCAA.

For comparisons sake:

I would love Pruitt as DC but I hope Sark is being careful with drawing too much NCAA attention. Davis and Pruitt would both be previous offenders and Banks (who I guess has never been busted for anything to my knowledge) surely isn't so clean himself.

Inside Texas has learned one of the top recruiters in the state of Texas over the last half decade will join Steve Sarkisian’s Texas staff.

Jeff Banks was previously at A&M. He’s been Alabama’s key man in Texas, and was a conduit directly from the talented 2022 class to Nick Saban and that hideous painting from the ‘09 National Championship he likes to take pictures of when he was a Texas prospect in his office.
