The saban smoke continues. JS mentioned today some sources have asked him not to even mention it. Though "he who should not be named" is still obviously well in play

 

[streettopeschel]

Who is coaching in a bowl game before ours that we would want? I guess I need to look at the bowl schedule again. I thought our game was on the earlier side. All BCS games are after ours.
I guess that means Charlie Strong from Louisville. Hmmm

chip kelly...nd? bill o'brian...psu? dear god...not muschamp.

 

[More Cowbell]

Guess it's Frank Solich then.

 

[DizzG]

I seriously doubt Texas is passing on everyone just to hire Charlie strong in a week or so. Patterson needs a big hire and he knows it and the little info out there suggests bigger names

McPhaul,

Why would Powers care at this point? What's in it for him to "hire who he's told to hire"? What's his motivation? Isn't he going to retire in the next six to eight months?

Thanks.

Powers was not in favor of Saban. However, he lost his vote by not handling the Mack resignation in a timely manner. Powers will approve what he is told to approve.

Boom goes the dynamite!

The "connected" guy goes by Saint Tacky. He says in 3 different posts that:
"ruse" isn't the word I'd apply to the formation of a committee. It's camouflage. The deed is done. A search committee cannot seek a coach for a vacancy that no longer exists.

Art Briles wasn't interviewed, much less considered for a position at Texas that's already been filled.

He'll be named publicly the day after the Alamo Bowl and it's not anyone that plays a bowl game after Texas.

That puts the NFL names in play IMO. Why not wait until after the bowl games to see who wants to bite off on 5-8 million a year. Charlie Strong would be a knee jerk hire because we didn't give the process long enough to play out.

IMO we don't announce anything until Jan 6th-10th.

Sirhornsalot, feel free to share BTW, I was on OB when you recounted your brush with BigFoot and frankly I don't doubt any of your experience. Scary stuff out there no doubt and don't let the jackalopes hiding behind keyboards throw you off base.

Retiring is pretty. Voted out is ugly. Powers best interest is to roll with the votes.

 

[ATX89]

If that's the case, doesn't look like it would be any of bigger names we have been hearing?

But it could bring into play an NFL guy like the Harbaughs

 

[GARCH]

bill obrian is my hope. I don't think patterson needs to make a big name hire here, I think he needs to make a successful hire.

 

[johnabeard]

Charlie strong is a sucker bet, no way he will be the coach of texas

 

[TexasUTD]

Oof I hope that isn't true.

Cliffs?

 

[BBQ time]

Forget cliff notes. Give us the details. Would make for nice reading until the big announcement.

 

[athenslawyer]

Gonna be hard for Mack to fulfill his new duties as Special Assistant to the President if he and Powers aren't speaking.
Get over it, Mack

One plate of Sally's oatmeal raisin cookies and Bill and Mack will be hugging again.

That would be awful.

It would eliminate Saban, Fisher, Meyer, the Harbaugh's....that would suck

Unless his name is Harbaugh
