I have to hand it to you Dizz. You, Mcphaul and others, have stood stead fast on this the whole time. Props to you guys!

BB seems to have jumped on the Brown/out-Sabans/in bandwagon in the last 24 hrs.

Burton generally doesn't put himself out there too often.

As a long time Horns247 Sports member, you're exactly right. Bobby is one that appears to go to great lengths to verify that the info he puts out is gonna be correct.

I agree. Also they are much more recruiting centric than other sites. Going after stories like this is not their goal as a site or their forte.

I would put it a little differently. Bobby goes to great lengths to not offend his contacts in Bellmont...especially Mack. Since those contacts are pretty much all on the verge of being history he's going to have to do something to reestablish his credibility.

If Bobby Burton was a car, he just flipped a b**** in the middle of Congress Ave.

That's a little harsh. Bobby's a good guy. He definitely has contacts and credibility. His strength is recruiting (as someone mentioned) and in that he was and is an industry leader.

Many have had a "scorched earth" policy re: the UTAD. We are so close to what we all want, it's time to close ranks and be a united Longhorn Nation.

Bobby and mack brown are friends. Mack was texting him today. Baghorn is right. Burton will be in trouble with a new admin and will need to still be credible

All that is common knowledge. Bobby will be fine.

On that topic. If it's Saban, ANYONE reporting on Longhorn sports is in for a rude awakening. He takes the idea of "control the message" to a whole different level.

Bobby knows something (Saban) this is getting good...

Ding, ding, ding...we have a thread winner!

He doesn't have to control anything his on the field results speak for him.

 

[lilMAC25]

that reads to me that Bobby is saying that out of all the candidates, Saban is the surest bet to succeed at Texas, not that he is the surest to be the next coach.

The same could be said for Mack. Winning cures everything.

When Saban was losing in Miami, they crucified him.

 

[deadbeef]

From the context, it sounds like "surest bet" means the best possible choice, not the most likely. I'm not a 247 member though, so I can't read the content.

True, but a college fan base is a helluva lot different than their pro counterpart.

From the FW Star Telegram writer Stefan Stevenson.

Stefan Stevenson @FollowtheFrogs

Source close to Texas executive council of regents says Nick Saban will be next Longhorns coach.

Stefan Stevenson ‏@FollowtheFrogs 5h

I have no vested interest in Texas' next coach. Just reporting what a reputable source is claiming. No linked story, not fishing for hits.

Stefan Stevenson ‏@FollowtheFrogs 5h

If I had more information to write a story I would have. Source was very confident. I'll believe it when I see it.
