According to Ketch

[PDX Horn]

With each passing hour that a Strong introduction press confrrence isn't called, Patterson looks more and more incompetent. FWIW

Incompetent to who?

I watched ESPN (which I almost never do) all morning and not one negative thing was said about Texas. I don't do twitter or facebook.

Now if Strong falls through then we can start talking incompetence and egg on the face.

It is a complete shat show behind the scenes. We turned Saban down for Strong. Dallas BMDs and McCombs are not happy. Why do you think there was this big push to go after Gruden in the media. They were trying to get a big groundswell like we did to oust Mack.

 

[Blue Horn]

Strong needs to bring Hurtt. If we are going to hire Strong he needs to come. The worst thing we could do is use this as a card to try to get another coach and then have it keep Strong from bringing his ace recruiter.

If BMD's wanted or needed a "groundswell" they wouldn't need, or use the media. Come on guys.

 

[Donald Boyles]

Texas will not accept Hurtt. FWIW.

Help me out, who is Hurtt??

 

[NLeininger]

Yeah when you ignore the guys that brought you here. It's going to get ugly

The same guys don't have any kind of consensus and some wanted to keep Mack? I think the problem may be trying to placate all of them. If they don't want to support a winning product that is accountable over program access, then F@#K them.

 

[NLeininger]

DL coach that has a show clause attached to him because he was one of the chief architects of the Miami scandal.

We turned down Saban? And you know that how? If Saban wanted to be here, he would be here. Plain and simple.

And you know all this how?

Hurtt is banned from recruiting by the NCAA because he is dirty. If Strong needs a dirty recruiter then he sucks as a coach. Texas would gladly hire Ed O that is 100X the recruiter that Hurtt is.

Maybe there is still hope. We can't fire or hire without drama. Doesn't appear the BDMs are on the same page. I'm embarrassed of what we have become. Very sad...

And the board of regents has to approve the hire. Let's hope they do the smart thing and tell Patterson to keep looking!

 

[mesoHorny]

This may be Patterson's only move. He may have just realized what a mistake he made and at this point he is hoping Strong backs out so he can have a muligan.

And hire who?

 

[Boobie Miles]

And hire who?

I'd take Franklin... Vandy had 1 winning season from 83-2008.

I agree. But now it seems like he's being courted by NFL teams. Might be too late.

 

[Boobie Miles]

We'll see what happens. Looks like Golden is going to Penn State so that's what may have pushed us to move things along with Strong.

 

[MBHORNSFAN]

hmmmmm

 

[BBQ time]

And hire who?

Gary Andersen from Wiscy or D'antonio would be just fine. Performance without dirty recruiters on the staff.

Franklin has a rape coverup conspiracy accusation in his program. No thanks.

 

[Topstarr]

I think this enternatty is causing the most trouble.
