Patterson Accepts The AD Position

[Chris Flanagan]

On the surface. It looks solid. When you look into the details, it sounds like everything Texas wanted.

- Texas roots? Check.

- Extensive Leadership experience? Check

- A good track record? Yes.

To be honest, you don't know much about ADs. Most ADs at schools like Alabama and Florida are gonna stay because of pensions and other benefits. I think this is a fantastic hire. Now I will go more in detail in my Horns Up! Article tomorrow. (Teaser alert )

I just wanted the people at Texas involved in this hire (not Dodds, and good god not Mack) to interview both Luck and Patterson and hire the best one. Both are good choice.

McP, is this the interesting email you referred to last night?

This should be proof that no one knows anything after a week of "insiders" saying Luck was a done deal. This will be the same with Saban.

So what did we learn today? Don't believe ANYTHING until the deals are announced. I, too, got caught up in all the "insider" talk, because I want changes at UT as well. This desire clouded my judgment and instincts...which are to not buy into rumors and wait for the facts to come out (that's the lawyer in me). I will not get caught up in the rumors of who our next head coach will be. I will wait until the press conference announcing the hire.

Pay the man, Shirley!

Absolutely. Spot on.

Patience is a virtue.

Ha! I was actually trying to quote begonzales whom I believe has had the best response though tshirtfan is also correct.

I know, but any chance to post Bob Barker is a chance one must take.
