Crossfire with McPhaul - 11/06/2013

Until Saban says "I am NOT going to be the new coach at Texas" I think we are good.

Thanks McPhaul. I always enjoy reading your posts.

Thanks McPhaul. I always enjoy reading your posts.

Hey Brother,

Always good to hear from you!

Mcphaul, what is your feeling compared to Ketch's that the reports coming out and Saban having to deflect and deny rumors has a very negative effect on Texas' chances of getting him? Thanks!

Thanks for you post McPhaul.

Questions with regards to the LHN. How can this LHN network be viewed as a success when folks outside of Texas can't see half of what we used to see for Longhorn games? Shouldn't this LHN be something that expands the Longhorn brand and allow fans from all over to enjoy UT athletics and spread our brand? How do you think our new AD will address this problem or will he (do you think) do like Dodds has done and simply ignore what's not seen and just count the money?

Appreciate your answer in advance.

Hook'em!

Good stuff, McPhaul. Time will tell. As long as this team keeps winning, I give Mack a fighting chance. He loses a game or two, and he will step down at year end IMO.

Hey Brother,
Always good to hear from you!

thanks from me as well McPhaul. I have followed you hear from OB and IT. You bring great insight and behind the scenes info. I to find it interesting as to Ketch at OB and his opinion. Personally my trust is strongest in "the grammer nazi" on OB at this time. At IT, I still trust JS completely as well as LL.

Texas will lose at least 2 of the next 4 games. That should ensure he doesn't return next year.

It has never stoped Saban from taking another job in the past, has it?

 

[valleyhorn]

Great report. Thanks for sharing. I will just keep hoping that Mack will be gone when December get here.

 

[unclejemimah]

Good point, thanks man

Jamail is Mack's attorney. I see no scenario where he acts to remove Mack. I can see him securing a huge payout for Mack.

The second scenerio would p**s me off to no end. The guy has made 22 million and fielding mediocrity and softness since 2010. Now we have to give the guy even more millions just to do what he should do anyway? Screw that.

Nice post, McPhaul. VERY interesting stuff going down right now, for sure. Most everything you said goes along with what I've heard.

That's standard and would look bad on us if we didn't. He's under contract through what 2020? What we'd have to pay out isn't that big a deal in the long run.

I think you'd want to hear that. Worked for Alabama.....

 

[Coal Harbour]

Every time I hear someone say or read that Saban would never leave Alabama for UT it makes me laugh. How many times do we have to see in sports an athlete or coach leave a "comfortable" or "great" situation b/c of money. If UT offers Saban 8m/year, he will be the next head coach at UT. Sharing a hunting lease or wives being good friends mean almost nothing in these situations IMO.

I don't care who the next HC at UT is as long as there is a change since it is much needed. However, my belief is if UT is willing to back the Brinks truck up in front of Saban's house, the folks in Alabama better have a plan B as it pertains to their HC position.

Agreed however the 60 minutes show he clearly regretted saying that. Saban doesn't make the same mistake twice

 

[brianb722]

This is from OB.

Not really. It's from the Internet. It happens everywhere and is annoying everywhere.

Hey Darrell, I've tried connecting with you a time or two on Orangebloods, but I went to Anderson and knew Pat growing up as well as you. I am closer in age to Pat and lived near you guys by Pillow Elementary. I see Pat occasionally at Ymas and wondered if you ever make it over there? In any event, I was awfully sorry to hear of your Mom passing recently and I hope you guys are doing ok.

Love your content here and plan to be a regular.
