    Charlie Strong & Bob Stoops...

    Surprised that I haven't seen anyone else chuckling about this... * Both men played DB in college * Both have a DC background * Both men are known as hard-nosed, no BS coaches * Both won a MNC as DC at Florida under a legendary coach (Spurrier / Meyer) * Both men were born in 1960 (August /...

    Patterson should interview Gruden

    That most assuredly has to be true. What was he thinking?

    Patterson should interview Gruden

    Pancho - That is a straw man argument.

    Everything till now

    Cujo - Considering the timing of McCombs publicly supporting Gruden and the buzz building that we are bringing in an NFL guy on Sunday, do you think this could be Gruden rather than Harbaugh? Would prefer John Harbaugh but the timing made me do a double take.

    Patterson should interview Gruden

    Brasky - I'm not arguing to hire Gruden, I'm advocating for an interview. Assuming it hasn't already happened, there is no reason not to listen to the man.

    Patterson should interview Gruden

    If it is true that Gruden is asking for an interview and is lobbying donors like McCombs to aid him in getting access to the AD, Patterson has to give Gruden an interview. Regardless of how you feel about Gruden as a coaching candidate, there is absolutely no reason not set up a meeting to talk...

    Why so much hate for Mora?

    I've actually being saying for the last two months that I would love for Mora to join Texas. He isn't my #1 candidate, but when you get to the pack beyond the sexy four (Saban, Harbaugh, Gruden, Fisher), he is at or near the top for me. Mora is a high-energy, hard nosed, aggressive coach. He...

    In the words of Yoda

    Sorry guys, just imagine Leia Harbaugh getting eaten by the pit of sarlacc, and it goes away.

    In the words of Yoda

    Let me try to decipher..."there is another [skywalker]." In this case, there is another Harbaugh? I just had a frightening image of John Harbaugh in the Princess Leia gold bikini deal from Jabas palace. Yikes.

    Aggy..

    If you are referring to me, that could not be further from the truth. I have a pretty healthy dislike for all things A&M. I am a proud Texas alum. If you are referring to my comments above, there is no denying that A&M is riding a huge momentum swing right now. I don't think it is...

    Aggy..

    It is crazy how A&M caught lightening in a bottle with the SEC move, new coaching energy with Sumlin, and Johnny Manziel. Regardless of how you feel about their long term prospects, they really hit a homerun and have completely changed the momentum in the state. Wild. (and scary) I...

    Do any of these three actually get an interview?

    John Harbaugh, Jon Gruden, Mark Dantonio? Right now, I'm leaning: yes, no, yes? I believe the John Harbaugh interest is real. I'm not sold on Gruden being truly interested. If Mark Dantonio doesn't at least get a phone call, I think it would be a shame. Damn good coach.

    Call your shot..no take backs...

    I hope we hire: John Harbaugh (assuming no bigger elephants in the room) I'm guessing we will hire: Art Briles

    Sell me on the idea of Texas going independent in football?

    Guys and gals - I don't disagree with anyone arguing against independence, as I am not personally an advocate. I'm also projecting some short term trends into long term ones to argue that the Big XII isn't stable. It is obviously WAY too early to know with certainty what will happen with our...

    The Change

    My first thought: if this is true, it has to be Saban due to the recent "scouting" trip Kiffin did to Bama. However, after considering the situation, I could absolutely see this being Harbaugh or even a guy like Gruden that needs to hit the ground running on college recruiting. There are a...

    If I'm Patterson, here is my process...

    Haha, maybe! Was just looking up coaching salary info, and USA today had Meyer at $4.6M and listed as the 6th highest paid coach in the country at the start of 2013, behind Saban, Brown, Bielema (?), Butch Jones, and Bob Stoops. If Saban has just set a new threshold at $7M with his extension...
