Yes, I've heard that he was generally a prick, was insubordinate to CTH and there is an accusation that he tipped other teams off on our plays.
Just firing him was too good for him. Need to make him never to be able to land another coaching job.
I've seen this mentioned two or three times.... any verification tho ? Somebody got a recruiting meter on this dude or what ? Or is this just scarlett and gray spin from the buckeye fanalysts ?
I can understand him being a prick and insubordinate but tipping off your opponents what plays will be ran on purpose? That would be coaching suicide so I highly suspect that is a rumor.
I don’t believe this. I have no evidence either way, I just don’t believe it. Think about the stealth precision that would go into contacting the other team, devising a scheme to have them decipher our plays and line up in an appropriate defense before the snap of the ball.
If this was true and known he would have been fired immediately without pay and “punished” to whatever extent Texas could legally muster.
This is of zero consequence to me. Texas’ problem has not been recruiting since Fred Akers was fired during the wild wild days of the $outhwe$t conference about 30 years ago.
From my understanding he wasn't a huge recruiter back at OK St., though he did land Mason Rudolph as his primary recruiter. Not sure of how much was asked of him at OK St. as far as being out on the trail a lot.
