Thanks McPhaul, I'll echo the question above. Why would Bama "aid" the Sabans in moving on?

Agreed. I will have the pleasure of escorting my Baylor grad wife and 78 year old Baylor grad Mother-in-law. I hope it's just cold, if it is icy too it would be trouble for my MIL. On the bright side they are outstanding fans and show great sportsmanship. They may have cheered harder for us...

Might be some empty seats. Supposed to be VERY cold next Saturday. I'll be there in my Orange.

HCIW Kirby Smart made the call.

..prayers to the entire family. I have a connection that is close friends with Briles' brother and his family. Terrible loss for a family that has experienced quite a bit of loss already.

Scipio does a much better job than I of making the case for Gundy: I'm A Man! - To The 40? Why are Texas fans ignoring Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy? - Barking Carnival

Respectfully, neither Arky nor Aggy is THE University of Texas. That said, I understand the point about recruiting. However, these things can be done quietly. Although we haven't exactly shown the ability to keep a secret. Unless of course the Saban info is all a smokescreen. Please don't...

I'm not advocating based on 1 game. The same as I won't throw out a good candidate based on one game. Don't try to marginalize by citing a ridiculous example. Mike Gundy is a damned fine coach that has succeeded over a number of years at a less than traditional power. He's on the verge of a...

If Saban isn't/doesn't happen. And Myer is a no go. He's at the top of my list. I offer him $6 mil + and go up if needed. He's the best coach in the Big 12 and one of the best in the country. Already recruits Texas, etc. etc..... WHY NOT GUNDY, DAMMIT?

Fair enough. Do you think there's a chance we get Briles?

Everyone knows that Baylor was a wasteland prior to Briles' arrival. Let's not act like OSU is some great traditional power though. They were a combined 58-59 with Simmons and Miles. Miles goes 28-21 over 4 seasons. Certainly we can agree that Gundy has taken them up a notch from there. OSU...

I don't know about Briles being decidedly better than Gundy. Career Gundy is 4-2 against Briles including some pretty big beatdowns. One of which occured during RGIII's Heisman year. Not knocking Briles but I don't think you can say he's undisputably better. The fact that Gundy is 10+ years...

See I agree. In fact, I'm not sure we can do a lot better. His name needs to be on any list, IMO.

Serious question. His name never gets mentioned. Is he untouchable at OSU? Would he never leave? Guy is a good to possibly great coach. Young, on the cutting edge offensively, has a team that plays physical football. He's turned out good defenses, which seems to be the one knock some folks...

Not saying we play Aggy in Cotton. I think Aggy ends up in Chic Fil A or whatever. I figure we play Auburn/LSU in Cotton Bowl.
