Here It Is

Orgeron will be co-DC/assistant HC/recruiting coordinator or something. No way he is brought in as DC.

 

[BBQ time]

Glad that Texas is getting a guy that really wants the job instead of the money, but I think Chad Morris has a 5 mil buyout for a lateral move to OC. Ed O as a DC?

Vance Bedford as DC and Ed O as DL makes a lot more sense.

 

[Bevo11]

Not trying to disagree with Darrell, but I understand Strong was #1 behind Nick. Period.

Thanks to McPhaul and staff for all of the hard work. I still don't get all of the negative post regarding Charlie Strong. I feel given the resources at Texas and a blank check book to hire a top notch staff he will be a great hire. He isn't the splash name everyone is looking for, but I still feel that wasn't a necessity at Texas. I really hope the fan base can put aside all of these negative comments and get behind the new coach.

 

[Chitownhorn]

Ed O can be DL guy and recruiter only. No DC. Thats my biggest ? about the DC, he must be able to defend the spread.

I would guess that they will be running Strong's defense no matter who the DC is but your right on Ed O.

 

[Embrey]

I am down with Strong.

Saban never had an offer to say no thanks to.he wasn't under consideration since black friday (assuming he was ever actually considered to begin with)

 

[Slamsox]

Well I'm disappointed we aren't getting Saban, but I'm ready to get on board.

This smells of Powers. After the clown shown that we put on display on Dec. 13th, I can imagine that some of the biggest names did not want to wade into the mess that is our administration especially with Powers still as President. I am not saying that Powers is not a great academic president but he has definitely poisoned the well when it comes to athletics. I imagine Mack is happy.

 

[The Third Man]

The Texas-can-get-anybody crowd takes a beating. Saban is the bigger name, but at some point age and human nature kick in. Strong may well be the better candidate moving forward. At least he wanted the job. Saban either played UT for suckers, or the university fumbled the ball at the goal line twice. Interesting.

Our past and future --

 

[KellyUT4Ever]

Couldn't be more so! This feels like a step back...maybe sideways, but def not forward.

I'm with you Alouha27, it's been so daunting over the past 4 years. Feel like a kick in the stomach not to mention all the text messages coming across laughing at us. "Really" all this and Strong is your hire...

 

[napaak]

Strong now makes more than Fisher? This is pure bs. So much for guarantees if splash hire, big fish, etc. we settled. Simple as that. Texas isn't texas anymore. a&m will dominate state for next10 years. I just don't get how so so many of our sources thought Saban was in. Aidensdad, JS, horn sports staff, zizzzy etc. love you guys and the site but hard to take seriously at the moment.

 

[AdHorn]

I can get behind this idea...on several levels

 

[Speedway]

Oh well, at least it's over. Underwhelmed with Patterson's first hire. Not sure why he gets $5m out of the gate if that is accurate. I'll support him but man is his leash going to be short with the fan base.

 

[TexasEx_98]

This is a joke. This is the home run hire that Texas was looking for? Really? Very disappointed in our University and its leadership.

 

[TexasEx_98]

Can't see how this unifies the fan base and BMD.

Precisely. Bingo.

 

[steveh9801]

I think Ed O will be assistant HC/DL coach/recruiting closer

 

[GetHooked]

I just went from someone that frequents the boards and follows Texas football all the time to someone that will just watch the games on TV Saturdays in the Fall. We are going nowhere.

I hate Mack Brown as much as I hate Obama. They both suck and HATE is the correct emotion.

What a dud hire.
