The Search Committee

[Darrell McPhaul]

I have the utmost confidence that this committee is going to get it right.

What is more important is that this committee respects Steve Patterson and his ability to lead the committee.

Good to hear. Lets see how the special assistant to the President interferes this time.

I am hoping that because DD is out and Patterson is in, that will not be an issue. Patterson strikes me as someone that will not let that happen. Not to mention the power players that he has involved won't pull punches.

 

[Lukus Alderman]

Very nice.

I think he used up a good bit of his capital on the last outburst. Going forward, I have the sense that he is going to be marginalized.

One can only hope...

So far, I am a Patterson fan

Yep, me too. As long as he can keep Mack and Bill as far away as possible, from what he is trying to do and trying to accomplish, then I have full faith he will hire the right coach

To what extent is Powers involved, if any? And in your opinion does Powers' tenure here carry any weight on who may be selected?

 

[Darrell McPhaul]

Powers and Brown ruined any chance they had to be involved by holding Texas hostage last weekend.

Both of them are on the outside looking in going forward.

Give them some coloring books, some Legos and a Lunchable and tell them to stay in their room until the adults finish talking.

Just what I wanted to hear!

I think the search committee is to give Patterson cover? I mean a former ambassador to Lichenstein?

Just hire Gruden and get it over with..

 

[HornEsch]

I think once the BMDs showed that they are willing to go nuclear during that hostage standoff by Brown and Powers. That ended the interference.

 

[RoyalCrowns]

We'll see . . . . .

Serious question...if Powers wants a Stanford-type athletics program from what I've read, shouldn't he have some concern with a Saban program (grayshirts, medical redshirts, oversigning...)? Is a President somewhat the face of the program, or is it the AD only? It just seems he should have some vision...perhaps I'm wrong and this is totally delegated to the AD.

Powers' stock sure has dropped...we've gone from applauding him for butting heads with Perry and resisting a diploma factory to handing him a box of colors.

Shouldnt Powers be focused on academics?..and removing the peanut butter stuck to the roof of his mouth...

DD was out last week and there was a lot of interference. Mack still being on campus means more interference to me. No need for him to still be here.
