Bro you have no idea how fast the ladies drop their panties when you hit them with a "I said RT wasn't good enough for Texas 2 years ago to my Internet friends. Just look at his record at Fresno State and UTEP!"

You need a towel to mop up after you hit them with that line.

Bro, your mental gymnastics on RT is amazing. You declared a personal crusade two years ago on whoever said he would not work out, especially derka, and now that you have been proven an idiot, you still can't accept the fact that you lack average intelligence.

I am glad you are "keeping an open mind" now, but iirc you didn't have a similar open mind to our argument back then. I am just amused that so many didn't see it coming. Eat your crow now, damn it!

 

I'm not eating crow about something I've been reasonable about the entire time. I think I overly hyped RT up some offseason because the negative energy had become a beating. Outside of that I've always seen him as a flawed HC who could potentially still make it work.

Also - last I checked Texas is still playing basketball. 

I'm not giving up on these kids quite yet - as fucking horrendous their showing against Arky in the first 30 minutes was.

This sounds good as a business trope but I don't think it's true here.  Otherwise you'd fire him now.   UT stands for class and treating people with  dignity.   We don't fire people before they've essentially fired themselves.   I realize you were responding to the thought that he might earn another year by winning a tournament game.  It could happen, but we shouldn't just fire him now or at the end of the regular season to prevent it from happening.  You do the adult thing.  Evaluate him at the conclusion of the entire season.

Especially in a sport like this... 

This isn't a 3-6 college football team.

It's weird how "RT should be fired" is some people's entire internet personalities

Mine is Quinn is a pussy! But I have a lot of personalities to juggle so I might also be a fire RT guy

Don't think so. Myself and some others have the opinion of "let the season play out and see what happens," but I don't think anyone is saying RT is the guy for Texas and we're making a big mistake if the right replacement is available and we let him go (absent a surprise Sweet 16 or better run).

Unfortunately for RT Sark has raised the bar pretty high in terms of our expectations of what a coach can do.

All that said I think it will still be pretty hard to fire him if we make the tournament this year, which I fully expect us to do. My guess is he gets one more year in that case, but who knows?

As we saw with Shaka CDC may be working behind the scenes to both get the right replacement and find a nice landing spot for RT so they can say it was a mutual parting of ways.

Nah, Terry would need a miracle run in the tournament to survive.  Tom Herman got kicked to the curb after 7-3 and a bowl victory.  RT is basically Tom Herman sans the personal drama.

Lmao I almost replied to that with something about the constant Texas QB bitching. 

Well done.

Texas football is not Texas basketball. 

And Herman - like you said - got fired in part because he was an asshole.

I have never said he should be let go before the end of the season.  I don’t think I’ve  seen anyone even seriously suggest it.

I think it would be cool if we had a coach whose team played hard and smart even as they went through the growing pains that come with NIL/portal era roster churn. Throw in a consistent/identifiable offensive philosophy and that’d be damn near mind blowing. 
 

I’d rather not have to watch a team get blown out playing inconsistent, ugly basketball and spend the season hoping they get it together in time for a tourney run.

Thank you for taking such an interest in me and my posts. I'm flattered.

Who the fuck are you again?

That's fair.
