The SEC is obviously killing it in recruiting over all other conferences and the Big 12 is dead last among the 5 big conferences in 2014 recruiting. Given the overloading of talent in the SEC, if your goal is winning conference and MNCs, would you want UT to trade places with aggy in the SEC...

+ Feckless university leadership for a very long time + Failing to foster a culture of championship excellence for 40+ years + Coddling Deloss Dodds senility and ineptitude for far too long + Placing revenue results above championship results + LHN/We are the Jones hubris + Coddling...

It would be nuts to rely on Ash as the QB in 2014. The UT and his parents care about Ash, he will never see the field at UT again. Even if he plays, he is one hit away from being out from the year and that will certainly limit his ability to run the ball. Swoopes' 1 for 6 in the bowl game was...

Relax everybody!! All is well!! UT has a great football leadership tradition!!! UT football timeline. 1971 - 1997 - Zero MNCs - 5 head coaches - 7 Conference championships 1998 - 2013 - 1 MNC - 2 conference championships 2010 - 2013 - Bill Powers and Deloss Dodds coddle Mack Brown's...

With an 8-4 2013, JFF gone and the disastrous 2013 aggy defense, Strong should go hard after 2014 aggy commits between now and national signing day. MBTF is finally gone and they now have a much better alternative in Texas if their goal is winning championships.

Just got a call back from a level 1 insider on the FSU side. Patterson has a big personality conflict with Sexton and his ego and tactics. Patterson thinks Sexton is a player who was using UT to score big raises for his major clients. Patterson would only deal directly with Fisher and Fisher...

I get Saban staying in podunk at $7 million at 62 years of age. The important question is: Did both Fisher and Malzahn really say no to raise from $4 million+ to $7 million+ Saban money per year or did Patterson fail to offer the big money to them and settle for Strong at $5 million? Either...

McPhaul: What is the latest on the John Harbaugh interview that you said was proceeding?

If the new UT head coach is anyone but Saban, Fisher, Malzahn or John Harbaugh, Patterson will have orchestrated a historic epic fail for UT that will rightfully perpetuate the perception that the UT culture and administration are completely clueless and inept. It would reaffirm all the worst...

Hearing that Mack will announce his departure from UT and get his $2.5 million buyout plus another $5 million+ tossed in from boosters and soon after take the HC job at Nebraska. Nebraska is done with Pelini's performance/antics and they want Mack's persona and inroads into Texas recruiting...

A picture is worth a thousand words and the shot of old Joe Jamail below from his own book cover tells the whole story of the current situation in UT football. He has the money, the power, the relationships and the influence to do whatever he wants at UT and he could not care less what you or...

Nick Saban has enjoyed extraordinary luck in all of his MNC games: 2003 - His LSU team plays an OU team in the MNC game that lost the Big 12 championship game to KSU 35-7. 2009 - Alabama plays a UT team that needed a final play miracle to win the Big 12 over a bad Nebraska team. Colt McCoy...

Mack is reported to have said he wants to come back for 2014 if he wins or ties for the Big 12 championship but it is hard to imagine him surviving with a tie that does not result in a BCS Bowl and leaves UT with an 8-9 win season and a win in a minor bowl. Every real horn fan wants UT to win...
