I think the NCAA enforcement staff has 2 people left....to police every school in America. Honestly, I don't know who could do that.

It's not about being smart...the NCAA enforcement staff has been gutted. What does that tell you about how serious university presidents are about enforcing the rules?

7-6 for the next two years as he rebuilds the program. Then the breakout comes in the 3rd year.

That's the best thing I have ever read on these board. Right on the money.

From the outside, there is no reason to think Saban is coming to Texas. I'm not privy to the emails, etc. of some, all I know is what I can see.

There is no way Texas is going to bring Briles in to turn Texas into a Mountain West Conference team. I just don't believe it. Look at the others...Saban, Harbaugh, Jimbo, Strong...these are big boy football coaches. Briles simpy doesn't fit.

It's baffling to me that anyone would think that the people at Texas would want Briles as their front man. Great football coach, but don't see how he passes muster in other aspects of the job.

Wasn't intended as ridicule...sorry if you perceived it that way.

Just playing around...hope you didn't take my joke personally. If so, apologies.

Site on site violence is the Least interesting discussion on all the boards. Hopefully, the folks on this site will follow Mcphauls lead and be respectful of others.

Shaunters...I have been assuming that these names we are hearing are the result of the Korn vetting process. No?

I think these names we are hearing are a result of Korn vetting potential candidates. Probably going to vet a number of coaches.

The committee doesn't have anything to do with it. By this time, Patterson should have a pretty good idea who the candidates are and have begun general discussions with agents on what is going to be required for each candidate...IMHO.

I know that some want to think that their team is the best team and so end up personalizing things. But the thing that I am LEAST interested in is the competition between sites. Everyone should take Mcphauls post to heart.

Really hard to believe. Given the nature of the Texas job, doesn't seem like the best fit...not that he's not a good football coach.

Shaunters...thanks for sharing your info, even though you have to endure a bunch of BS when you do. I enjoyed your exchange on OB yesterday. I don't view anyone as being right or wrong...it's often just a matter of who we know as to what we know. And I really appreciate hearing from different...

He thinks Fisher is the leader. He is saying that Franklin is also a consideration, not the leading contender.

To be fair, Chip isn't "claiming" anything. He is reporting what he is being told. He didn't say zero, he said "almost at zero." Fair enough if you want to question his sources, but wouldn't you have to know who they are in order to question them? Like it says on that big building on the UT...

Hard to argue with the above, but I could put in a voter for Duke Carlisle's end zone interception of Don Trull to save the Baylor game.

Saban maintains a calm demeanor in big games. He chews ass in let down type games.
