Have a feeling that he is going Pro. His dad has been way too defensive about all this. Also, and this may seem petty, but as a coach, I don't like the idea of his dad spending so much time calling into talk shows talking about the coaching, etc. Heard him a lot this season with Chip and Sean.

I'm going to play devils advocate here but how important is D'Onta Foreman's recruitment? I don't see the similarities between him and Ricky's recruitment. Ricky was going to be a Top 5 pick; right now D'Onta isn't a Day 1 draft pick. I'm not saying Texas doesn't need him, but he isn't a make or...

I can tell you that a decision on the current staff has not been made. Herman is a man of honor and when he said he wants to speak with each one individually and interview them, that's exactly what he will do.

I know it's not UT news but just got off the phone with a colleague who told me that Malzahn isn't off the hot seat and many inside the Athletic Department are not happy with the way he has handled the QB situation and its cost them this season. The way this Iron Bowl is going he isn't helping...

Having been in the coaching profession for 20 years I've built up a pretty good network of folks that I can speak with to get information. Here is what I've been told today: You're going to see a different approach to program control and hiring of assistant coaches this time around because you...

It's now been confirmed that Ketch has been suspended from writing for Rivals.com and Orangebloods.com and a full editorial review is underway - per Rivals.com

I'm just trying to figure exactly what he said on twitter because it made no sense to me.

Head Football Coach in Dallas, Tx

I know a lot of people will pass this off, but don't. There is serious validity in this. Coaches, even though they say it's never about ego, it's about ego. Coaches with titles such as the OC tag want to be the one who gets the credit, especially for future head coach consideration. Hermann...

There are many Longhorn fans who are ready to jump off the cliff today. Give Coach Strong a chance and let him actually coach a season. I don't want to have another Coach February who can't bring it home in the fall. Texas fans need to step back and let the man and his staff work.

I posted this topic over on OB and I was told I was ridiculous. This has been a concern of mine the longer this has dragged on because I feel Strong has used the idea of talking to Jurich face to face to stall Texas because he knew Golden was interviewing at Penn St today or tomorrow. Texas...

Saban already has an offer from Texas and they are just waiting for his answer, meanwhile, Patterson is interviewing Briles tomorrow and is #2 if Saban says No. Texas will have their coach hired by Friday night. All other interviews are smokescreens and political type interviews.

Head Football Coach

Coach Briles is a perfect fit. Look at his body of work at Houston and Baylor; he would dominate at Texas.

Chip is 100% accurate. I've have had the opportunity to work with those who have seen this side of Mack. He has two personas, the public side which is the great ambassador, etc and the internal side which is the vindictive, control the message, worry about who is saying what, etc. It doesn't...

I look forward to seeing those 2 work together with both healthy and Davis being re-committed. It should be fun.

No chance Texas wins a title in basketball because they aren't committed to basketball. If they were, they would build a more basketball-friendly arena and showcase it. Look at the improvements to football, baseball and heck even softball vs the Cemetery. That tells you all you need to know.

Nice work on the article. Look forward to more stuff like this from you guys. This incoming class plus next years class has Texas setup to make a pretty good run. I hope all those teams remember what has happened the last 2 years because Texas is on its way back and I have a feeling it might...

lindylonghorn makes a valid argument. Would Texas ever consider hiring a man for that job or is there a stereotype involved with it being Texas? I would like to see someone young and full of energy who will come in and push Mulkey at Baylor, etc.

I know we are talking millions here, but for major D1 schools, its amazing to see schools like Texas Tech and Iowa State only spend $48 million. If you want to be top rate programs, you have to find ways to make money, but you have to spend money as well. I will say, its good to see that at...
