Who the hell is Texas going to hire now?

I'm thinking sneakers o toole from Family Guy. Texas has become what Notre Dame was irrelevant. GL Texas enjoy the Alamo Bowl you'll be there often

Gruden

Haha gruden turned down nfl jobs... He's not going to the disaster area that is UT

Texas has tons of money, state is full of stud recuites, u call that a disaster area?

Just because there are a bunch of puzzle pieces on the floor doesn't mean someone can make a complete puzzle with them

Last 3 Texas head coaches"

David McWilliams
John Mackovic
Mack Brown

So I'm going with former San Jose and current Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre.

Or how bout espn analyst todd mcshay?

Quality Post

Texas has mishandled this thing with Mack from the get-go; this is the first big decision/test of the new AD and I'm not impressed.  We had how many speculative media reports on Mack - he's staying, he's resigning, he's staying, he's resigning .... giving schools like Bama and Auburn time to lock in their coaches with contract extensions and coaches like Peterson to make their move - not to say that any of these coaches would have gone to Texas but they sure as hell aren't now since Texas drug the thing out with Mack for so long.  Not impressed UT ....

this is a no-brainer

JAMES FRANKLIN

Dave Christianson & Lane Kiffen are available.........good fits for Tejas

1. James Franklin
2. Gary Patterson


Those would be my guesses.

Muschamp lol

Maybe get Cowher down there. 

Frank Beamer needs to join his buddy Mack Brown.  Nice run for both of them, but being a head coach in major college sports can take it's toll. 

Heck they should look at Bud Foster.  He is a defensive guru and if he could get that talent down there to play his defense then that would be something. 

Saban re-ups with Bama, and Brown resigns........

What a very unsatisfying turn of events....

Although, I wouldn't put it past Saban to have a Texas 'out' clause in his contract. It could STILL happen.

Charlie Strong

*the Saban fiasco was orchestrated by Saban's agent...and the media....Texas had little to do with it ...they just went after the best coach
*as we have seen.....coaching contracts are meaningless....just because a coach signed an extension doesn't mean he won't leave if the $$ is right
*Gruden is (maybe) the next coach of the sorry Dallas Cowboys..

Shaw > Franklin> Gundy > Chad Morris (Clemson OC) >.....who TF knows..........

the idea was for Mack to retire when he did.  This past Fri/Sat when he returned from his trip.  There was some guessing and possibly someone from the Board of Regents let it slip that he was leaving Texas and everyone rushed to be first with the rumors. 

sounds like Texas is looking at NFL coaches first.  Harbaugh, Kelly, etc etc.  Doubt any of them move back to college but it's possible I guess. 

A good coach can do very well at Texas.  Mack just couldnt get it done.

Texas donors are being told that Jim Harbaugh is who they're going after now....and that they ARE prepared to go to 10 mil if necessary

  *as many of you know...if you give a ton of cash to any university...political campaign whatever....that gives you the 'ear' of key guys involved...or THE guy....depending on how much you give   

The logistics of a move like this would seem to be a nightmare..
  *he couldn't announce he's leaving during a SB run
  *you couldn't keep it a secret to recruits..."we can't tell you who it is....but just trust us...the new coach will be awesome".......

Guessing this kinda stuff is just for show...
  *to satisfy Horn backers....now they can say...."well we TRIED to get Saban.....Harbaugh ++++.....

and the answer AGAIN...to why in TF would he leave?
  *5 million in SF (with 12-13% state income tax)...vs 10 million in Texas (no state income tax)    

Bookie,  That Gruden idea may have legs but there is always the Jerry Jones issue and what decent coach would put up with that thing?

Not too many NFL coaches want to go back to college.

Packers, Im worried Gus might go to Texas.He would be a fool with most starters coming back.I think Auburn's backup Qb Jeremy Johnson wl win the Heisman befor he leaves.

Funny....maybe Texas has the same problem as Dallas

WINNING.....is somehow... not the bottom line

The Cowboys?.....ultimate organizational goal is twofold....
  * for Jerry to be the face of the team...and finally
        receive his due (in his mind) as a 'football guy'
  *to make money

       eg.   when searching for a coach....JJ has ZERO interest in finding the BEST coach.....his criteria is somehow he can 'work with'

Likewise.....Texas is talking about finding a 'telegenic guy'....that would look good / sound good.....on that miserable failure called the Longhorn Network.........
   *maybe a good ole boy type...representing what Texas stands for.....a rancher type that can coach kinda.......................say what
  *and...."no way we take coaches from 'lesser schools' such as Baylor...A&M...TCU or Okie St".......
 
Watching the Steelers take apart a more talented Cincy team.....BOTH teams actually need Mike Tomlin in a bad way......

Gruden would come back for the right deal....
  meaning control AND money

JJ is maybe too cheap....(Garrett 'only' makes 3 mil or so)...to cough up the 5 mil+..... to get Gruden as he somehow makes 4.5 mil or so with ESPN......... 
  *JJ is not as much of a control monger as most think...he mainly wants to feel a part of the decision making process...Gruden might let him be involved (as Parcells did for awhile) to a degree...if the money is right.....I think Jerry is tired of getting laughed at (and booed in his own stadium)...and might consider it............someday before he dies

*Texas offers him 7-8 mil?......a weird fit.....but who knows ....                            

Texas is a better job than anything in the nfl.
