OC Candidates

[Mack11]

Has family down here in TX... Think that would be a good choice

Possibly because I want to believe, and also because I believe that Nick Saban is a man of action.

I was around when Mack Brown was hired. Everything happened quickly. The Power Brokers at Texas have a plan, and when it is time to execute, they do so with flawless precision. Anything else creates a much higher risk of failure. I think Saban understands our Power Brokers, probably more than Mack Brown ever did.

How many times have our PB's offered head coaches a 'blank check' to get any assistant they wanted? They gave Mackovic one, and he hired Bobby Jack Wright to fix our defense, Bobby Jack Wright! They gave Brown one, and he hired Harsin (who I liked) and Manny Diaz. Manny who? Saban evidently knows what to do with a blank check and understands the idea behind it. To me it's simple, 'Please feel free to hire the best staff you can find, oh, and money is no object.'

It's nice to find a head coach that is secure enough to hire great coordinators. Ain't life grand?

We might want to thank these guys, all of them.

By the way,

Hook 'em!

who ever Saban wants for OC is the correct answer.....show we the Money or the new OC.

Yes I confirmed again. Contract is in house. No I don't know length or amount because I never press on details like that but it is complete. I asked him about Morris and he is a guy they like but don't think will happen.

So you're saying we currently have two head coaches?

Major who?

 

[Silverback]

Major has been under appreciated from the word "go"! I was in the stands in 2001 for the Big 12 Championship when he came in with 2:00 left in the half and threw an 80 yd strike for a TD to give us hope. He is one of us! He was stripped by MB from being one of the best ever!! Why are we so quick to believe the hype on other OC's when Major hasn't had " once again" the opportunity to prove himself!!! I am on board with the new regime, but DAMN, let's stand up for OURS!!

Hey EM, I think you will like it here.
I am looking forward to recruiting and the culture change

thx sir I love the setup here.

 

[Hoekem]

the money that's going to be spent for a staff will be an amazing number. One of the top recruiting coordinators in the country is rumored to be on the way if Saban inks the deal. And yes, recruiting is going to get fun again really soon.

Do you think the Receivers coach from Bama is coming?

I love this site, I love OBs, I love all the outlets that have solid info and fun dynamics for Texas athletics. This is the single most exciting time off the field ever. The next 5 or so days are going to be bonkers. And the end resolution is going to be a giant party for all of us. Hook 'em!!

Here is a name that some of you may have forgotten about as an OC...Todd Dodge

besides his UT past, he built some powerhouse at SL Carroll and obviously knows how to develop QB talent based on how many he sent to major college programs

Austinhorns1's source is legit. There's absolutely no reason for me not to believe what he is saying.

There's no way we'll have a signed contract for a new coach when the old coach has not officially resigned.

Maybe I misunderstood what Austinhorn was trying to say. (very possible!)

What I got is that Saban has agreed in principle to the contract that is in the department. Remember, just because it's signed by Saban doesn't mean anything if it's not signed by the Texas side of things. So it's not impossible to actually have a signed contract.

What I was trying to say is that his source is legit. The person telling him what he is sharing would know what's going on.

Major was awful as an OC. I hope he is the 2nd to go.

Not trying to impugn his source. Don't even know who it is.

Maybe I'm splitting hairs, but if it's not signed by all parties it's not a "contract."

You're definitely splitting hairs, this whole thing will be over soon enough.

This. My goodness the guy has been awful. He can have another chance to work out his kinks somewhere else. You don't work out your kinks here or coaching with Saban.

Welcome, EM. Looking forward to your posts

 

[Hanging Brain]

Morris for me.
