NEW Feature to This Weeks Crossfire

[Darrell McPhaul]

Guys,

With last week being a bye week, information has been pretty slow coming in.

So, I will be a taking 20 questions from the board this week and responding to the best of my knowledge.

Fire away!

As you have reported, the people who are making the decision on the next HC at UT are "all in on Saban". Considering that the BMDs who are more than likely making that decision are successful businessmen, I'm sure the concept of a plan B isn't foreign. Have you heard who the "plan B" is if the Saban offer falls through?

 

[Coal Harbour]

Oops, I'm sorry, just read your post, "The Contigency Plan".

 

[Topstarr]

With Saban as Head Coach...who would be Great OC and DC for Saban & Texas.

 

[MBHORNSFAN]

We are lucky We lost to Oklahoma State because if not and if we beat Tech but lose to Baylor Mack would have been back. True or false?

 

[UTK66]

If/when A deal with Saban falls through, who, in your opinion is the #2 option??

 

[SFlonghorngirl]

Is Ash's career over due to concussions?

 

[Donald Boyles]

If Saban is named, which recruit will he be able to flip??

 

[Turby35]

When/if Saban in the next coach at Texas, does he try to bring Smart with him by selling him he could be head coach here when Saban retires in 3-5 years, or does Smart take over at Alabama?

 

[Darrell McPhaul]

Good questions. Keep them coming.

 

[Manzana Blanca]

McPhaul.... Perhaps you have been asked this before? What is your opinion of David Shaw? Do you think he could do well here? IF Saban falls thru... Do you think he would rethink his coaching at Texas once there is an actual vacancy ? This is assuming Texas would go to him first after Saban fail? Many thanks !

 

[TheWaterboy]

How big of an impact do you think Patterson/Saban will have on changing the Game Day environment and fan experience at DKR?

 

[ATX89]

Where does Joe Jamail fit in the new HC search? Is he part of the anti-Saban crew?

 

[Coach840]

Name your new coaching staff.

If you are Bowlsby and have to make two calls to add teams, who are they?

Thanks

 

[Setxhorn]

Who do you think will be on the committee to select the new coach?

 

[Slamsox]

In 2014, who are the coaches for football, basketball and baseball?

 

[Nico0211]

There has been some talk about Saban getting unlimited resources regarding money to pay his staff, if he ends up at Texas. Do you think Texas will go out an pay head coach money to get the best coordinators in college football? People like Chad Morris and Pat Narduzzi won't be cheap and their buyouts are enormous, if I'm not mistaken. I believe Morris has a 10+ million buyout if he leaves for another coordinator job.

Also, do you think the searching committee put a lot of thoughts into the Longhorn Network? Is it "important" that the new coaches in football, basketball and baseball have a good TV-personality?

 

[EtexEagle]

Will Overstreet ever get a chance at UT or does he transfer?

 

[RC2P]

What changes will Patterson implement first? Which of the current AD staff are likely to stay/go?
