You think Fickell is ready to be head coach at a big time program now?  he was turned down as head coach at Ohio St - TWICE - once when he was already interim head coach.  At OSU he was only CO-defensive coordinator twice. 
It's not a question of being ready. He's had four years as a HC. It's a question of he's smart enough. If he can make good decisions.

I do believe that you have to make more decisions at UT than the smaller schools 

This article tells more about him.


LUKE FICKELL IS FINDING HIS VOICE AT CINCINNATI

Luckily there's someone much more experienced than you are I at vetting coaches taking care of this.
I know I kind of chuckled at this being an option. You remember when he first came to UT and they were talking to him about some of his play calls at Gilmer? He named his plays after popular names from the andy griffith show?!?! hahahaha, one was called "Ernest T." , one the "Barney" and one "Aunt Bee", he also named some after other popular shows.

I can see it now -

Jeff Traylor, the new head coach at Texas, playing Alabama in a prime time night slot and oh, what was that? I think I just heard him call a play called "squeal like a pig" or "battle of the banjo's" or "Elizabeth, this is the big one" (Fred Sanford) or the "Beverly hillbillies"...you know, cause the plays need to be a little more complex then just this is the "Jethro" hahaha

Hey, i"m not laughing at you though, i just couldn't help it, i like Jeff but i'm pretty sure hes over his head here.

If I were going to go young, I'd go Graham Harrell. He's got USC winning with less talent (lets face it, its not Helton). He's from Texas, would know THS coaches (his dad is a former coach at Ennis), he's well known, and he's succeeding at everything he does . . . . I want Urban first, but I'd make this guy one of my calls if UM has better things to do.

 
Campbell agreed to a new six-year contract in 2017. In 2019, his contract was extended a year to 2025.

So there’s that

Thats someone I haven't thought about but I don't think hes ready yet SHA, hes a great choice though, I would definitely bring him on though as the offensive coordinator here and groom him. Maybe the next lincoln riley.

Hes a good coach, i honestly hope he stays there, some don't agree with me but I think a stronger big XII helps us.

 
BryanH  isn't coming back to Austin, he enjoyed his time in Austin but he and his wife are firmly planted in Boise with their families and he just built a new house so I doubt he would even entertain an offer coming back, he looked at the Oregon job one year but he is staying in the NW
He's a fool if he doesn't entertain an offer from Texas. He needs to hire a new agent. It's an easy way to get a raise.

 
If true, UT's administration is still dysfunctional. I mean, who approves an extension/raise for WTH if not CDC? This assertion is ridiculous.




 
This is a bad list. Urban and Fickell should be on the list for UT coach. The rest of the coaches should not. I would no problem hiring Steve Sarkisian as far as past problems, but I didn't think he was very good at Washington or USC. 
 
Tony Elliott and Eric Bieniemy have no head coach experience which we can't take a chance on.

Texas Football: 5 Potential Tom Herman replacements

Lets see,

Boise St.: he was born in Boise, played qb at Boise st. and is now the head coach at Boise St.; he wins, very high percentage of long term job security, gets to play in high profile bowl games as much or more often than Texas does, beats OU about as often as Texas does haha (Im kidding but that was funny) [when we suck this bad, you have to have a sense of humor.] pay is good enough?!?! this I dont know, hes getting paid 1.5 right now and it moves to 1.85 in two years. Thats still a lot of money even though 5 million is a lot more here.

vs.

Texas: Austin, where they want to and have defunded the police (less safety), the woke liberal democrat bs has resulted in crime sky rocketing, no mountains, infinitely more headaches, long term job security is almost zero which leads me to: what he would be thinking about, if he gets fired, he most likely wont be able to go back to Boise st. where all his family resides so then he has to start bouncing around the country again because he needs a job which he has done already as a result of leaving the first time. Tough decision.

Money isn't everything, just based loosely off the top of my head, I just dont see him interested but what do i know about his thoughts on money. But you are right, he could at least get a raise.

You missed the part where I said it's an easy way to get a raise meaning he didn't need to take the job. Just entertain it. 

Too bad you did a lot of typing.

supposedly Fenves gave TH an extension after the Sugar Bowl win (2018 season) if I'm not mistaken

I know the Harsin family, they are firmly entrenched in the LDS church, and have other family ties to the Boise area, the only reasons he came to UT and then went to Ark St was to make himself as a viable candidate for the Boise St job when Peterson left, and the only reason Pete left is because he needed to be closer to a medical facility that could meet the needs of his son. Money is not a motivating factor , family is what drives him

That doesn't sound like something Fenves needs to push as UT President. I'm disappointed in CDC, if true, but understand he's the boss. Glad he's @ Emory now.
