The longer it is taking to announce the OC

[orangeflow]

It seems to me that with the choice for OC being drug on and on that the less likely that Watson is UT guy. It is also cropping up on other sites that other OC are being looked at. If Watson is the choice it seems it would be out there. Any idea who is being looked at in the search.

NOOOOOOooooo

I agree, kind of feels like if Watson was the OC they would have named him already.

I guess they are trying to announce all the guys at once?

Here's hoping!

Let's just say there are people ahead of Watson on our list.

 

[el mahico]

we can only hope.

You're on to something there cowboy. At least it feels like it to me. This is moving week for lots of coaches. Why do I think Strong and Patterson both really want some good news out there to really generate a positive buzz? Reds comments stung them IMO.

Sure of course but we aren't the coach. It's Charlie's list that matters.

Today is the day. I imagine we'll know something by or before this afternoon. Let's hope it's not Watson.

i think the longer it has taken the more certain it is Watson. He has a great first name, other than that, meh! Everyone or team I have rooted for has fallen through or lost. So, I am hereby pulling for Watson and the Sooners/aggy/Tceh.

Patterson was hired with a whimper, Strong's hiring was anything but well choreographed. Can't we get anything right these days? We're talking a freaking coordinator position and it's turning into an episode of the Bachelor where everyone is wondering which nutcase Coach Strong is going to give a rose to. Enough, already. Show us the program is being run by professionals and do something impressive!

Confused. Because none of this has been done on fans timeline it is being done unprofessionally? Or, we're you being sarcastic. Really not sure.

I've seen nothing to suggest Strong is not filling out his staff in a professional manner. The guy was just introduced as head coach this week. The OC's he is looking at are employed by other schools, and its just not as simple as snap your fingers and have one in Austin within 48 hours or so. There has been little to no info leak out other than Bobby Burton and a few hearing some tidbits. Nothing is playing out in the media. He's putting together his staff on his own timeline. Not unprofessional because a message board is impatient lol

You completely missed the mark on tihs one. Patterson wasn't hired with a whimper. He, unlike Luck, was willing to tackle the football coaching need at Texas. As we've seen it has come with a lot of backlash. Luck would have been Dodds Jr. IMO. Strongs hiring was completely choreographed by the man who was making the hire, void of BMD's voice because that's part of what go us in to this mess.

The information we are getting is limited because of the change. We need to give it time to play out instead of jumping on the program. The leakers are protecting their jobs. In time there will be a new brand of sources but it's going to take a little while.

The only thing making this unproffesional are all the extreme reactions by the fan base. Every day the sky is falling.
