The Ride

[Darrell McPhaul]

I have always like that song by David Alan Coe about a ghost from Alabama. That song was written about Hank Williams Sr.

BTW, don't read too much into the lyrics.

Buckle up the ride is not going to smooth out until next week.

I get my information from multiple camps. All good sources too.

Camp 1, Has always stuck with stuck with Saban to Texas. Never waffled.

Camp 2, Not at all happy with coaching change.

Camp 3, Fisher, Strong , Briles

Camp 4, Saban, Fisher, Strong, Briles

Everyone else is a smoke screen. Gruden, Franklin, Mora Jr. etc.......

One thing has become certain, it is Pattersons decision and the Selection Committee will approve his candidate.

Before anyone says I'm hedging, I'm not not. I have no reason to hedge on what I share. If you want the absolute correct candidate, you are going to have

to read it in the paper. If you can control your stress and can enjoy the ride, then you will enjoy what I can share.

I was informed that there was a post on OB's titled "McPhaul has Some Interesting News". That post had over 7,700 views and 110 replies. Although I have out grown that site, there are still a lot of wonderful people over there. IMO, a lot of the criticism comes from alias accounts that are trying to prevent Hornsports from growing. Take that how you will. Personally I did not get in this business to compete with any other site. I got in this business to build a community that enjoyed a member friendly driven site.

I only have admiration for the job Chip, Jason, Jesus and crew do. I hope they all have success.

Not at all happy with coaching change?

Thanks McPhaul! I appreciate your contributions to the site. Always classy.

Darrell, you're appreciated here.....I thank you for not going and charging $10 a month and enriching yourself....you are a UT fan like the rest of us....keep up the good work sir!

No joke what camp is that, I was hoping they were all gone...

 

[Hump34]

Good stuff.....the ride has me dizzy. Please make it stop.

I just can't get fired up for Strong....

I will settle right now for Briles.

 

[CCausey11]

Here's hoping Camp #2 is in a distinct minority position and can't muck up any of the other 3 groups.

briles not an option..

 

[RC2P]

Concise and classy. Thank you, sir!

 

[SFlonghorngirl]

Classy! No, stress on my end. Enjoy reading HS, OB, and IT. I take everything with a grain of salt. It's so addicting. These message boards and The Real Housewives series are forms of guilty pleasure for me. Above all, Mack Brown is out. I believe Patterson will direct UT Athletics to many championships across the board!

briles not an option...interviewing for the redskin job...level .5 since its his offspring

Well that stinks.....

Snyder will no doubt try to duplicate the success Philly has had in their first season with Chip Kelly.

Was a certain omission on purpose?

 

[TheWaterboy]

Camp #2 need to seriously be examined for their mental stability and most likely be checked into an institution for their own health and safety!

 

[orangeflow]

You are right - there are a lot of classless remarks at OB...the remarks add nothing to the discussion at hand. I don't understand why the monitor isn't on top of some of them.

That's the JJ camp.

LOL - This is going to outrage more than a few on here, but I actually think his blog is worth $10 a month. I would pay it. Certainly this blog is equally worth what IT and OB are charging - don't you think?

LOL - go to Bellmont and run a poll.

 

[seahawkhorn]

"Next week" is a good sign!

I know Robert Griffin and his father have both been pushing Dan S to hire Briles to coach the Redskins.
