New AD leaders....

[MKD]

Who is the favorite at this early time in the process?

I would make Oliver Luck or Gene Smith turn me down before I look anywhere else.

Tom Jurich from Louisville and Oliver Luck are the hot names for the job.  Personally I think Chris Del Conte at TCU is a guy that could creep in and become a contender to assume the job.  Del Conte was in the mix prior to Patterson being hired.

When I heard we weren't bringing in Oliver last year, I assumed it was because we decided on Del Conte. It wasn't until later that I realized it was Patterson. I'm with you on your thoughts on Del Conte. He most certainly wouldn't be a bad fit. You can't fault the growth that TCU has seen under his rein. 

With that said, TCU fans are already in a panic that he could bolt for Texas and he's been "easing" their concern on Twitter.

That's nice and all until Texas throws a bunch of money in his face.

Yeah, I emphasize the word easing there. Do I think Chris loves his job at TCU? Absolutely. Do I think he's been grateful for his time there? Sure. Do I think he ignores a call from Texas about the position? Not a chance.

Did MB really think we was interested in bring him back. I hope he never sets foot on The University Of Texas campus again. Just the way I feel. My friends y'all have a blessed day

I mean....MB steps foot on the campus probably at least once a month in his current role.

UT fans have very short memories.

I just puked when I read that, Get a cop and show MB the front door that leads down a road so he will never come back to The University Of Texas are Texas period. Like the mob say he is dead to me. My friends y'all have a blessed weekend. Hook'Em

I don't get the Mack vitriol. Yes he stayed too long and wasn't easily willing to give up a glamorous $5mm/year job. That hardly makes him unique.

He did more good than bad by a good margin. That being said, he'd be fine in a fundraiser capacity but NOT as an AD.

Because he became a lazy entitled coach who cared more about himself than the program. Which we are still paying for today. Other than that he's still good ole Mack.

like I said, he stayed too long. So did Bowden and many others. I wish he'd have retired after 2009 but I don't hate him for not doing so.

Not sure Perrin isn't in the cat bird seat . . .

And I am as far from an 'insider' as exists

at the age of 68 he really can't be much more than a transitional guy can he?
