Must Read The Deck is Being Shuffled

[austinite]

In fairness to "austinite" don't you need to send this same message to JimR and post it on the board for everyone else to see?

Thanks North Texas Golfer! I appreciate it.

This self-proclaimed friend of Deloss Dodds really made a good showing of his caliber and reinforced my belief in my opinion.

Dodds is around 75 years old. I guess the guy is of similar age.

How could anyone pick strong over fisher

from radio this pm

@DavidSmoak:
Drayton McLane, Jr. on our show this hour,"I feel very strongly that Art Briles will stay at Baylor for a long time."

McLane is the former owner of the Astros and a big Baylor guy.

Also, here is something from Mike Finger

Texas AD Steve Patterson wants to make a coaching hire by Jan. 15:

http://blog.mysanantonio.com/longhorns/2013/12/uts-patterson-lot-of-interest-in-coaching-job/

Patterson, who took over as athletic director in November, said there’s been no shortage of people asking about the job, but said “the guys we’re talking to aren’t filling out applications.”
“There’s a lot of interest,” Patterson said. “There’s interest that’s sincere, and there’s interest that’s, ‘Help me get a better contract.’”

Patterson’s self-imposed Jan. 15 deadline is significant because it’s the end of college football’s recruiting dead period, during which coaches aren’t allowed to call or visit high school prospects.

And one more quote--

@ChuckCarltonDMN
Patterson on new FB coach's salary: "We're not out to set a new threshold. I think you need to be good stewards of the resources you have."

Okay, enough please. Jim is a friend of mine and is well respected. No more digs please, off-hand or otherwise.

Hook'em!

I'm not sure the debate is Strong over Fisher . .. but rather if Fisher doesn't come. . .

But Strong over Briles or Mora or Franklin. . ..now there is room to talk/discuss . .

He has yet to earn my respect, unfortunately.

No kids who initiate unwarranted personal attacks deserve respect, let alone adults.

Austinite, you're a good guy. So is Jim. Everyone has their "thing" and that one is his. Sometimes the understanding comes to us later, that might be the case here.

I think alot of both of you.

Hearing Striong is locked up if Saban says no

That would be interesting as not sure he's even 4th on the list per some

Can't see Patterson putting his whole

Career on the line with his biggest hire to go straight to a lower guy if 1a backs out

 

[GARCH]

I think strong would be great. He would probably be successful

Or maybe he feels it's the right guy? I mean, I don't, but maybe it is. Look, yo're not gonna get him to leave.

When the board crashed last night, I visited Tidefans. Read through a thread titled "Mack Brown Resigns". I found several posts interesting, but one was particularly compelling. I am going to share it here. This is the post in its entirety. Please read it for content, not for grammar or punctuation.

Re: Mack Brown Just Resigned

Difference in Vandy and Texas:

Vandy: Taking kids that think they can't win and showing them they can.

UT: Taking kids that think they deserve to win and showing them what it really takes to win.

UT had their target on the right man because that's what CNS had to do when he got to Bama.

Just so glad he's ours to keep because make no mistake he would have woken a sleeping giant at UT just like he has done at Bama.

Your thoughts?

Hook 'em!

I read TideFans and I'm surprised their mods didn't delete it. They're freaking Nazis over there.

I was too, and the fellow seemed to be following closely, but the thread had dropped to page 2, last night! They seemed to think their little corner of the world was safe, and everyone else at risk.

over the last few weeks, Strong has been flown in to Horseshoe Bay (Marble Falls) for multiple meetings....

IMO, Saban is 1A and Strong is 1B......
