Major believes the next coach at Texas will be...

[Manzana Blanca]

For the sake of continuing this conversation from Santa Gertrudis, here's a few comments he made on the same thread posted on another board:
One poster says Major won't have the option to stay at Texas next year:

"You don't know that and neither does he."

Another poster says he can't see Major as the OC here, but possibly the RB coach with Porter's departure:

"Major understands that he would likely have to take a lower profile job on the staff and is willing to do so to stay in Austin."

Major did work for Saban at Bama.

FYI

Many thanks SirHornalot

Good grief, you guys are easy..

Saban was just interviewed pre-game in New Orleans and he didn't look directly at the camera or the interviewer. I think it's clear that he is coming to Texas.

It's going to be a long night. LOL

Just hack Sabans cell phone and see if Patterson calls him about midnight.

SG, hope you don't mind me quoting you. I tend to pay attention to your posts and wanted to share some more of your thoughts on the matter with the rest of the gang here.

Yep, those were my thoughts as well.

You can't question Major's commitment to UT. If this all gets confirmed, I personally respect Major for making sacrifices to stay where he loves. I know many have given up on Major but as I said, I think his best days are ahead of him.

 

[Peoples Elbow]

SG. Start this thread on OB.com. They need it haha

 

[Marian Hinton]

I'm so confused.

 

[JKW-Hook 'em]

I want to believe...I want to believe...I want to believe. I'm just so punch drunk now I'm hesitant to get my hopes up anymore. I think it's time to implement the "Rope a Dope" strategy and just weather the onslaught. Body blow!....Body blow!

Fournette and Saban to #Texas is catching a lot of steam. Again, I'm just the messenger. If he picks Texas, WOW! I'm just a messenger.

Well, that didn't happen.

There is a report that Major has indeed resigned and accepted the severance.

 

[Thiggystyle]

To clarify, this is just one person's opinion - and he is not directly involved with the hiring process. He is certainly closer than any of us but he is just speculating based off of what he knows and how he feels, nothing more.

There's also a report that says he hasn't...from the AAS

Applewhite has made no plans
By Kirk Bohls

Texas offensive coordinator Major Applewhite told the American-Statesman that he has not resigned as has been speculated on the Internet recently and is simply waiting to see what options he might have.

"That's all nonsense," Applewhite said when asked if it was true he had stepped down from his position on former coach Mack Brown's staff. "It's not true. I'm just weighing my options right now."

Applewhite, a former Longhorn quarterback and assistant on Brown's staff who was elevated to offensive coordinator after Bryan Harsin resigned to take a job at Arkansas State a year ago, said he will be paid his salary through August. His base salary was $600,000, but he made more in incentives. Until then, he will remain in Austin and field any offers that might come his way.

Applewhite, 35, said he has not been offered any job yet.
