Patterson Plan...

[KirkB]

I have this feeling that we are going to hire Shaka Smart. UT Athletics will then be able to roll out the slogan that I think has been on Patterson's mind for some time -- Texas Smart. Texas Strong.

Discuss.

I've been wondering about that... Barnes next up?

 

[Topstarr]

I believe you are on to something here.

 

[Darrell McPhaul]

Smart is in top 3 on the list

... Barnes next up?

new slogan -- Texas' Barnes Door is Open?

Are there any baseball coaches named Goode? That would be a trifecta.

Not going to happen. I heard someone saw the wife of Louisville's coach shopping for a house in Austin. That being said, Vegas as Anthony Grant at 2/1 odds.

I love UT with a passion, but why would any great basketball coach want to coach here? Nobody comes to the games and when they do come they are quieter than any fans out there. It's kind of embarrassing and don't give me the people would support a good product line because nobody was at the games when we had one of the very best players in the world, Durant. When we lived down there we went to games all the time and it was even bad then.

UT is just never going to be a basketball school.

 

[The Tower]

i like this. a lot.

 

[Hornitos]

I think it's probably going to happen. I mean, Texas Barnes? WTH does that even mean? His last name isn't a very good adjective so he must go!

Just a guess but the answer may simply be...more money.

I'm thinking Buzz Williams, but would love Shaka Smart. I like how the basketball team is playing with more fight this year but I believe that new energy is needed all around mens sports. Give Augie some more time tho, he's the only one who's had to go through a major philosophy change due to new equipment. Plus baseball had two years of getting nailed by the draft.

I think Patterson is hell bent on changing this. He is a basketball guy. I think we get someone with nba ties. I don't know enough about candidates to know who else fits. I think with his background he will find us a good coach.
