JS speaks on the news

[mammy44]

We have been told repeatedly Powers will not impede anything due to the fact he screwed up before after giving his word. The guys in Dallas were pissed and Powers were on notice.

Previous comments are now being contradicted.

Confused.

Unless its this Jesus...............

take it with a grain of salt

I just can't see Patterson tying his first and most important hire to a perceived 2nd tier like Strong.

 

[Bigt4451]

Doesn't it have to be Saban? I mean why would you settle on strong this early in the game? Monday is the perfect time to announce Saban considering it's the day of the national championship and he is an analyst and can talk all about on national tv.

I was worried but the more I think about it it has to be saban.

LOL all of this is making my explode head.

 

[JerrySandusky'sCellmate]

Most posters here will be in straight jackets before it's announced.

Powers is not going to block Saban if he is the guy. That's baloney.

JS is just trying to keep up the suspense and drive subs.

 

[Growler]

Powers has no option but to accept who is chosen. He was almost ousted last month.

Exactly. Powers is no longer personally involved in running athletics. Or so we have been told.

 

[KellyUT4Ever]

Ditto, feels like a bunch of drama....

Powers already gave his approval for the Saban hire. A group is trying to manipulate perception. The Dallas BMDs will win this one.

I agree with this post 100%, I think a lot of people want it to be Saban so bad that Powers will get the blame now that Mack is gone.

Think you'll hear from your guy later?

I'm curious, they only win if Saban signs. The wildcard here on the outside looking in is..will he sign? If not the power play by Dallas is wasted.

What is the feeling on if he'll sign? We seem to be assuming he will on our end, but that seems risky. What's your gut on this, even though we want it does Nick?

 

[Epictetus]

I'm reading Barking Carnival Tweets... think I'm going to be sick. They're pretty sure it's Strong.

 

[Epictetus]

Now Chip Brown and Orangebloods... both those twitter accounts... are saying it's Strong as the next head coach replacing Mack Brown.

THUD!

I think somebody is punking the OB staff. This can't possibly end this way.

If it does, then back to life, and moving on and no obsessing over Longhorn football.

 

[BobLoblawsBLogs]

Bruce Feldman just tweeted that Texas has not made any decision on its head coach and that the group is still in meeting.

Very intersting.

 

[JMagana]

Wow... this is getting to be really funny!

 

[GARCH]

Hopefully it is strong

 

[Topstarr]

Saban will be heard on Monday.
