Condi as president of UT. Ugh. This sounds a bit like a coup attempt from Perry's boys to turn UT into a conservative shit hole. Hire Saban but let the Aggies corner the market on crazy Texas right wingers.

 

[Hanging Brain]

Wow! Rice? That would be awesome!

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Condi Rice detail. Sorry for the length but there is a lot of relevant detail in here. And it's not from Wikipedia. It's from the Stanford website.

Condoleezza Rice is currently a professor of Political Economy in the Graduate School of Business; the Thomas and Barbara Stephenson Senior Fellow on Public Policy at the Hoover Institution; and a professor of Political Science at Stanford University. She is also a founding partner of RiceHadleyGates.

From January 2005-2009, Rice served as the 66th Secretary of State of the United States, the second woman and first African American woman to hold the post. Rice also served as President George W. Bush’s Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs (National Security Advisor) from January 2001-2005, the first woman to hold the position.

Rice served as Stanford University’s Provost from 1993-1999, during which she was the institution's chief budget and academic officer. As Provost, she was responsible for a $1.5 billion annual budget and the academic program involving 1,400 faculty members and 14,000 students. In 1997, she also served on the Federal Advisory Committee on Gender -- Integrated Training in the Military.

From 1989 through March 1991, Rice served on President George H.W. Bush’s National Security Council staff. She served as Director; Senior Director of Soviet and East European Affairs; and, Special Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs. In 1986, while an international affairs fellow of the Council on Foreign Relations, Rice also served as Special Assistant to the Director of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

As professor of Political Science, Rice has been on the Stanford faculty since 1981 and has won two of the highest teaching honors – the 1984 Walter J. Gores Award for Excellence in Teaching and the 1993 School of Humanities and Sciences Dean's Award for Distinguished Teaching.

She has authored and co-authored numerous books, including two bestsellers, No Higher Honor: A Memoir of My Years in Washington (2011) and Extraordinary, Ordinary People: A Memoir of Family (2010); Germany Unified and Europe Transformed: A Study in Statecraft (1995) with Philip Zelikow; The Gorbachev Era (1986) with Alexander Dallin; Uncertain Allegiance: The Soviet Union and the Czechoslovak Army (1984)

In 1991, Rice co-founded the Center for a New Generation, an innovative, after-school academic enrichment program for students in East Palo Alto and East Menlo Park, California. In 1996, CNG merged with the Boys and Girls Club of the Peninsula (an affiliate club of the Boys and Girls Club of America) of which she remains actively involved in today.

Rice currently serves on the board of C3, an energy software company, and Makena Capital, a private endowment firm. In addition, she is a member of the boards of the Commonwealth Club, the Aspen Institute, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. Previously, Rice has also served on various additional boards, for example: the Chevron Corporation; the Charles Schwab Corporation; the Transamerica Corporation; the University of Notre Dame; and, the San Francisco Symphony Board of Governors.

Born in Birmingham, Alabama, Rice earned her bachelor's degree in political science, cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa, from the University of Denver; her master's from the University of Notre Dame; and her Ph.D. from the Graduate School of International Studies at the University of Denver.

Rice is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and has been awarded ten honorary doctorates. She currently resides in Stanford, California.

Thanks for posting this. I was unaware of her academic career, which is really impressive. She would be stellar.

Assuming you are serious: Rice is the former National Security adviser and Sec of State for George W. Huge football fan and member of the CFB playoff selection committee that starts next year.

Also was Provost at Stanford prior to serving in Bush admin and holds a faculty position in the grad school. Academic prowess and big sports fan. Would be a huge win for Texas.

 

[Marian Hinton]

I LOVE the prospect of having Condoleeza Rice as our next President.

 

[killrjoe]

WOW!!! What an earful. Can't wait to see it all play out. Great job Mcp!!

 

[HornSolo]

Thanks Darrell, the Condi bomb was awesome.

 

[gecko]

Is Condi going to coach offense or defense? Or maybe replace Augie when he hangs it up.....I hear she really likes baseball

 

[Horn78]

Good lord-with Condi and Saban and whomever Patterson chooses to replace Barnes (Bill Self) can you imagine how the national perception of UT would change? Talk about a juggernaught!

Great job McPhaul.

 

[bcherry168]

Pardon me for being skeptical. You may be absolutely right about Mack retiring and Saban being offered, but your "friend of Bevo" doesn't sound like anyone I ever heard of. When he will stand behind what he says with his real name, then I will listen to what he says.

Feel the same about JS's "Big Cigar."

It is easy to put stuff on an Internet board if there is no accountability. Your friend may well be blowing smoke up yours for all I know.

Ole Condoleezza Rice is a huge Alabama fan btw.
