[Darrell McPhaul]

Done Deal

[LongviewLobo01]

How does the affect things moving forward? Is Mack still out?

[MBHORNSFAN]

Yep Chip Brown reported this an hour ago

[TexCwby]

McPhaul, do you have time to give us your thoughts on the hire? From a high level perspective, as well as on the details about the coaching situation?

[TheDeuceWVU]

I'm shocked.

 

Can tell you as soon as last night, folks at WVU was saying goodbye to Ollie.

 

Something had to happen.

According to the mods on OB and Cujo, the Patterson hire all but ends the Mack Brown era at the end of the year if the reports are true.

[Lord Vader]

Im sure Crossfire will be even more interesting. Can start by explaining what went wrong with Luck.

Credible? (Not calling you out, I really dont know enough about who the hell is a mod over there)

[Darrell McPhaul]

Yes, something happened. very similar to the Gary Barnett & Mack Brown deal.

 

Patterson is closer to Saban than Oliver was.

[Darrell McPhaul]

This is good!!!!

 

Saban & Patterson hunt together!

[Hornzy34]

This is good!!!!

 

Saban & Patterson hunt together!

 

:cool:

[HookemDTX]

Tell us something that hasn't been reported everywhere else.

[The Tower]

This is good!!!!

oh really?

[Black Scholes]

Saban is irrelevant to this process.

 

It's an inverse relationship anyway. The more it's talked about, the less likely it's a realistic outcome.

[Coach840]

Just hope DeLoss didn't have input into the hire

[monarch]

HOOK'EM STEVE!

 

CONGRATULATIONS... \m/

Have read that Dodds preferred Patterson vs Luck. I worry that this allows Mack one more year as several sites indicated Luck wanted assurances Mack would be out after this season. Hopefully Patterson didn't cave on this, but have read Patterson would allow Mack a farewell tour in 2014. Have also read when Patterson was the Rockets GM he tried to trade Olajuwon just prior to the Rockets Championship run in the mid 90's.

[Chris Flanagan]

On the surface. It looks solid. When you look into the details, it sounds like everything Texas wanted.

 

- Texas roots? Check.

 

- Extensive Leadership experience? Check

 

- A good track record? Yes.

 

To be honest, you don't know much about ADs. Most ADs at schools like Alabama and Florida are gonna stay because of pensions and other benefits. I think this is a fantastic hire. Now I will go more in detail in my Horns Up! Article tomorrow. (Teaser alert )

[TheContractor]

I just wanted the people at Texas involved in this hire (not Dodds, and good god not Mack) to interview both Luck and Patterson and hire the best one. Both are good choice.

[Turby35]

McP, is this the interesting email you referred to last night?

[tshirtfan12]

This should be proof that no one knows anything after a week of "insiders" saying Luck was a done deal. This will be the same with Saban.

[betogonzalez]

So what did we learn today? Don't believe ANYTHING until the deals are announced. I, too, got caught up in all the "insider" talk, because I want changes at UT as well. This desire clouded my judgment and instincts...which are to not buy into rumors and wait for the facts to come out (that's the lawyer in me). I will not get caught up in the rumors of who our next head coach will be. I will wait until the press conference announcing the hire.

Pay the man, Shirley!

 

Absolutely. Spot on.

 

Patience is a virtue.

 

 

 

Ha! I was actually trying to quote begonzales whom I believe has had the best response though tshirtfan is also correct.
