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. 

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.

Sounds like he was set to stay in Tuscaloosa, but we just made a better offer.

Yes, but most fans here did not approve.

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.

I checked Texas' exotic ownership animal laws and monkeys are allowed unless prohibited by city code. Couldn't find anything about Austin banning capuchins. That should be the last detail.

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?

Shut up pussy, aside from the snake eating dog gif this thread is on brand with what shaggy/surly has been. Also you're literally named after Tennessee colors, not even Texas. smh

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.

***As I mentioned, some of the new staff members arrived yesterday. I was able to confirm that among those was Bo Davis. I already mentioned that Gideon and Joseph were there, as well.

***It sounds like coach Flood will be in today.

***On the matter of Gideon and Joseph, this is going to be something to watch. Based on what I’ve heard, it sounds like their respective roles may not have been entirely clear. Terry Joseph came to Texas as a passing game coordinator at Notre Dame. In other words, he runs the secondary and then will have help from a cornerbacks coach.

***It sounds like Gideon was under the impression that he would be coaching both Special Teams and Safeties. But, a passing game coordinator coaches the safeties. And, Gideon wasn’t coaching safeties at Ole Miss.

***So, I’m not exactly sure how this is going to play out. But as one source said, Terry Joseph isn’t coming to Texas just to coach cornerbacks. That’s a step back in his career and he’s considered too talented as a developer to go back to just being a corners coach.

***As you know, yesterday I noted that we are hearing Tennessee HC Jeremey Pruitt is a possible candidate for the Texas DC job. As you know, Tennessee is currently under investigation for NCAA violations and many believe it will ultimately cost Pruitt his job.

***For a while, I had been told that if that happened and Muschamp decided against going to Alabama, Nick would want Pruitt back. Word is Nick thinks very highly of Pruitt as a DC. But one source told me that they believe Pruitt would prefer going to Texas over Alabama as Alabama may feel like a step back in Pruitt’s career.

***I am told that Pruitt is expected to meet with NCAA folks this week. So, I would surmise this thing should begin to play itself out fairly quickly.

***This Pruitt deal may explain the delay in a DC announcement.

 

My understanding is uTenn is currently only under self investigation and they will only take what they have to the NCAA if Pruitt doesn't step down.  Is that true?

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 have not confirmed with the Texas side yet, but he is not at Alabama currently I'm told and isn't expected back. This is not a move Saban would approve of, but I am told they are prepared to find another coach already. Banks was the special team coordinator at UA."

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.

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.

For comparisons sake:

Alabama: 8.5 million (not including analysts)

aggy: 7.4 million

Georgia: 7 million

OU sucks: 6.3 million

Damn. Sark isn't fucking around.

[Tex-19 3009]

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.
