This is very interesting. Didn't I read on this board that one of the reasons we selected Patterson had to do with his connections to Saban and Sexton? Now we hear that pretty much the opposite is true. Strange.

Then you have not been reading the weekly Crossfire article correctly.

Contractor -- we hired a firm to search for and numerate a multitude of candidates. It so happened end that the personnel that Sexton represents did not meet the requirements of K/F. We hired them to evaluate candidates on sabermetrics that are above all of us. If you have a problem with them or their way of business do not bitch about on a board, take it to their respective PR department. Charlie is going to be the best thing to happen to this university within the next 10 years -- you, however, can be choosed to be remembered as one who recognized that or held on to the idea that it was Saban or bust and the program is destined for the $#@!ter. I would like to respond to all of your arguments, but I do not have the time nor the patience to deal with blind ignorance.

Good points. and you made laugh!

Unless that had been given certain parameters to follow in their search. All we can do is assume at this point.

That's my thought as well. What those parameters are, we don't know.

I wasn't around last night and just got around to reading all the posts. I don't understand why Contractor was taking so much heat by being curious about the job search. I have read most of his posts, not just on this subject but on others and from what I gather he is 100% behind Strong. He was asking questions about a subject that McPaul, the guy that is the reason most of us joined this site put out for discussion. I know that we are all in the honeymoon stage with Coach Strong and thats fine but to hammer the guy because he was asking questions about the job search is not right. I like Coach Strong. I support Coach Strong, I picked Coach Strong in the "Call your shot" thread that was started the early part of last week. I'm still curious about how the job search went. I'm not DEMANDING to know or think that it is my RIGHT to know but from reading what Contractor posted I didn't get the sense that he felt he was owed anything. TheContractor is an asset to this site, he knows more about sports then most of us and I would hate to lose good people because they ask questions.

Thanks. I am still curious and will not change bc a few people got their panties in a bunch.

I'm not going anywhere, just been working all day.

Some people don't want to look back and blindly accept the process. I really like Strong. i enjoy the hiring process and have ?s about it, regardless of who is hired. If some arnt interested, fine move on to the next topic.

Others have a blind loyalty and think Texas can do no wrong. I love my university and and hope everyone is held accountable including Patterson. Can I do anything, nope. Same as the few people that bitch on this and other sites. Some people feel that if you are ?ing things or don't like something "Texas" you are a troll. Those that know me, know its far from the truth. I really don't care what some people shouting big words from behind a computer screen think.

If bad/incorrect decisions have been made then, if possible, I want to know what happened. And Why It did.

Thanks again! Cant let the ignorance of a few change you.

Lets get back to talking about Texas Football!

Saban and Fisher were never coming here, so basically people are upset that Mora wasn't seriously considered? What's so bad about that? I see Strong as a far superior option to Mora and apparently Contractor does too. So I don't see what all the fuss is about.

Just guessing, but the thinking had to be Sexton would use our opening to get raises for everyone while not promising to land 1 of his guys at Texas.
