Pancho, my friend, I have no clue who you are or how old you are or how much you really know about football and coaching. If you will sign your real name to the posts you make, then I might listen. Read my post, and quit making accusations that are not accurate.
Pancho....you are WAAAAAY out of line. You have no idea of what you're talking about or who you're talking to. Extremely disrespectful and uncalled for.
I am not trying to incite a mob to throw stones at me but I guess I want to know if we cant get our absolute #1 choice coach to replace MB (IMO Saban or Harbaugh) then why would we settle for just anyone just for the sake of kicking Mack out. I am not saying that MB hasnt passed his prime but I also think we could do much worse. I just wish everyone could just relax and let the season play out. People are losing their minds over Saban and a rumored contract extension. I thought all along that people have lost their minds to think that a 62 yr old man was ever coming here to help rebuild our program in the first place. We have a new AC who will make the tough decisions in due time even if it means MB is back for 2014. The last thing that we need to do is to just hire anyone out of discontentment with MB. A wrong hire would expedite us way past mediocrity straight into horrific that could take a decade or more to crawl out of. I would take MB back in '14 if it meant we get the right guy. We will eventually get a incredible hire here, we will get who we need and want (that isnt 2-3 yrs from collecting Social Security).
I think too much was made of the Patterson hire? Dodds wanted to retire, and they hired Patterson. Powers recently said Patterson did not come here with an agenda. There are no lines to be drawn between the hire and firing Mack. IMO..
You don't bring in a guy with the rep of making sweeping changes all so you can keep the status quo. Deloss was going to retire at some point but some have reported he wasn't quite ready and wanted to stay on longer. He wasn't allowed too. Then you hire an AD in a expedited manner and had them in place by the first of nov in time for a coaching search. People at Texas did push for saban. Some other names have been thrown around too. I just can't by if saban doesn't come these people just say f it lets just bring mack back. They are plenty of other better choices out there and there the change these people wanted is still very possibleI think too much was made of the Patterson hire?

My name is Sean.
I'm not out of line when I'm deconstructing someone's post and their argumentation. It's not "disrespectful" nor "uncalled for" either. Good Christ.
Pancho you are talking to the son of the former UT coach in the 40s that coached Bobby Layne and Tom Landry and took UT to some great finishes and bowl wins in the late 40s. His son was a State
The thing I love about this site is the civility that has been displayed so far. I for one want to keep it that way and love the debates. Even when they get heated though, there is no reason to have to resort to 7th grade name calling, no matter who you are.
Since you answered first, where, for you, is a "line crossed"? Some people have much thicker skins than others, I get that, but what do you think
For me it's the name calling. You can say someone has made an idiotic statement or idea but when you directly call someone an idiot is opens up the 6th grade bickering which runs rampant on OB. This is the main reason why I am spending more and more time here, and fully expect to slowly ween myself from OB. Personal attacks of any kind should never be tolerated as it really adds nothing to the conversation.
I can respect that. Thanks for replying.
I have thought for several years this is a MONSTROUS untapped market. Someone just has to go out there and get it.
