More Oliver Luck News

[Lord Vader]

Chip Brown is reporting Oliver Luck could be named the new AD at Texas by end of November.

I think we've been reporting this in various forms for a couple weeks now.......

Any reports of us interviewing Patterson?

Don't mind Luck or Patterson. Both have ties to Saban and both have the kind of backgrounds that we need from our new AD. Luck was the QB at WVU when Saban was an assistant coach there and Patterson is said to be one of Saban's best friends and they hunt together.

I'm thinking the new AD has to be announced before Thanksgiving and Mack announces right before the Baylor game (the last game and the bowl game will be the big send-off and "thanks for the memories" tour). There has to be a certain time between the new AD being named and the new HC being named or it starts looking unseemly. If a new AD is named but isn't actually on the payroll when the new HC is named, then it looks bad on the program, because either the new AD wasn't involved in the decision or the new AD was working on the UT coaching situation while still being paid by his previous employer. The new HC has to be named no later than the week of the MNC game so he has enough time to start recruiting. The new AD pretty much needs to be on the payroll by early Dec. The sooner the AD is named and on the payroll, the better it is for UT.

The new AD will be named officially at the next Regents meeting on Nov 13-14. And with WVU having a bye week that week it makes even more sense in regards to being Luck.

Nothing on Patterson. Have to credit the guys at Blue Gold Sports as well on the Luck thing. The little guys wont get the credit OB will, but we were far out in front on this.
