Crossfire 2

[Darrell McPhaul]

Bowlsby is still the AD Texas prefers. The road block is his contract. I heard that we are looking into every loophole. The other issue that is bothersome is the political fallout. The other B12 Presidents are against this move.

Luck is the No.2 and if we cannot work a deal with Bowlsby, he should get the offer. My favorite candidate was Del Conte for personal reasons. He was one of the first to interview. We told him thanks but, no thanks. If it falls through with Luck, look for us to go back to Del Conte.

On to the coaching search.

Sabans if he wants and I think he does.

2nd Tier - Gruden, Carroll & Tomlin

3rd Tier - Muschamp, Fitzgerald & Briles

Wow, outside of Saban we are looking toward the NFL next? Another question - would a Del Conte hire make us look a little more closely at Patterson?

 

[Lord Vader]

Im not a Del Conte fan at all. Just a personal thing.

He did good work at Rice and Arizona and is doing well at TCU. Good fundraiser.... Makes good coin at TCU too (for being a small private Univ.) - Around 700K/year

Saban is interested? Damn, no double damn. I guess $10 million is hard to ignore?

Gruden? I think you missed the boat here? Surely he would rather coach in the NFL, but then again Texas can offer more money.

Carroll? As in Peter Carroll? No way..

Tomlin. I could see this happening.

Muschamp? I hope, from a personal standpoint, this never happens.

Fitzgerald? Again, I could see this happening

Briles? I would love the hire, but I don't think he leaves Baylor for any job? Then again, it is Texas

Dear God do not let it be Gruden. Not wild about Carroll either (he's dirty). After Saban, I'd prefer to skip tier 2 and go straight to 3.

Coaching... I dont see Carrol and dont want him for that matter. Fitzgerald, Strong are my top choices, but what do I know?

AD... I like Luck and think he brings a lot to the table

 

[Darrell McPhaul]

No on Patterson and from what I hear he was not too happy about not getting any play.

That is why Patterson made the comment two weeks ago that I'm a football coach, not a gold watch coach that attends the end of practice.

Luck is not a "sexy" pick by any means but is there any potential AD out there that is?

I actually kinda like Patterson. Total a-hole but good coach.

I kinda thought that is why he said that. Can I use that tonight on the Podcast?

 

[bbdude]

Patterson recruits tough and finds the athletes in the smallest corners of Texas. He grabs the 2.5 & 3 star guys that bigger schools don't touch and turns them into beasts. I respect his abilities.....

I really like the Louisville AD, Jurich (sp?)

If that's the coaching pool from which we have to choose, I'll take Tomlin. But if we're going to the NFL, let's grab Harbaugh. He's been my No. 1 choice all along.

Saban would be third (due to age) and Muschamp 4th.

Our next coach needs to be part Drill Sergeant, part Zig Ziglar and all discipline.

MB,

of course you can.

What do yall think of Bowlsby as our AD? other than he was at Stanford, i dont know much.

I hope we interview at least 3-4 guys, just so we dont rush into anything.

I really want to vomit at that coaching list.

Saban for 5-10 years, ill take it. IF he comes here and gets a title or 2, he has to go down in history as the greatest, winning at 3 schools and # of titles won.

Tier 2 absolutely sucks, WTF is the committee thinking? Gruden cant coach college. Not sure Tomlin is a college coach but at least he is disciplined. Carroll has a negative history in college but he can coach and recruit. Would he leave a top 4 NFL team? The committee should be fired based on Tier 2 alone.

Tier 3: I am not a Muschamp guy but we could do worse, see Tier 2. I dont know about Pat Fitz, just feel like he is a big 10 guy. can he keep up with Big 12 offenses?

I love me some Briles, can recruit in the state of Texas like few others bc of HS ties. Great Offense, would need to hire a top DC, which he can a Texas. Like giving a guy who has been driving a nice Camry the keys to a Ferrari and see how he does.

I am also a fan of Charlie Strong, would be a very good hire imo. No Texas ties but a damn good coach.
