You know Todd Graham has stayed just about as long as he can stand in Tempe. He's generally good for 1-2 years at a post. He's done a pretty good job with the Sun Devils. He's 18-7 in 2 seasons and earned the Pac-12 South Division title. He's a win away from a Rose Bowl berth. His overall ledger (67-36) isn't bad and he is from Texas and a former Texas high school coach. I've never been much of fan of his, but Patterson probably knows him as well as anyone. Just something to think about . . . .

 
I'm not sure Graham even fits into the Top 10 coaches I'd like to have but that's not to say he isn't a good coach. With that said, is there a clause that states Patterson can't take staff with him to UT?

Texas made a deal when they hired Patterson, not to hire any other Arizona State employees.

Memories of Graham's frequent-flyer past were rekindled after Texas lured Arizona State athletic director Steve Patterson to replace the outgoing DeLoss Dodds. Patterson's move sparked rumors in Tempe that Graham, a Texas native, might leave the Sun Devils to replace Mack Brown as the Longhorns' coach. But Arizona State officials said that a condition of Patterson's departure was that he could not hire anyone from his former school.

I think there are a few better options but if he were to come I would not be upset, as long as a good DC came with him.

But as primal said, it can't happen.

 
When it comes to coaching Graham would be an excellent hire. But there's baggage that comes along with him that make me say no.
