I hope that isn't true. I've always been led to believe that dodds is gone in the summer when his annuity kicks in and that they would line up a new AD before then. I still think thatis the plan. Mack firing manny tells me he is under pressure, he wouldn't have done this otherwise
Best line of all from the comments section: "This is what happens when heads stay up asses too long." That is going to be my new motto for the Dallas Cowboys under Jerry Jones.
What happens when Ole Miss beats them silly at home? They are not going to get that much better in a week, and their starting QB is out.
I don't like Sumlin. He cannot adjust once he gets behind (See: UH). Once Manziel leaves, that will be extremely evident.
Disagree. No way on earth Texas would have even considered Nick Saban, for example, before his current track record. He's a grumpy old man that hates boosters and all the crap associated with it - that would automatically taken him out of contention.
I hope the longhorns lose out so its forces mack out...tired of this, we need a good team when them playoffs start.
At this point, this is what I'm hoping for too. I'm tired of seeing the same old **** -- it's been a good 3 years now since the program has done anything relevant. It's time for a change.
Looks like a list of random coaches more than actual potential candidates. But think it's safe to scratch Briles off the list, while the offense would be fun to watch, we need a defense in the absolute worst way. Plus I believe he blackballed himself when he voted us at #5 back in 2008 which essentially took us out of the MNC. But I can't see us going after another Big 12 coach other than Patterson, who is mysteriously not on that list. Think he would be a serious candidate and a good pick up.
[rquoter]VACCARO SOUNDS OFF ON TEXAS: Vaccaro said he was surprised Texas, his college team, fired defensive coordinator Manny Diaz after the Longhorns' 40-21 loss to BYU last weekend. "Manny is such a great coach," Vaccaro said of Diaz, whose defense surrendered a school-record 550 yards rushing vs. BYU. "What happened, that option game (BYU's offense), that's not on the coaching. Look, I know Manny taught the right scheme. You just got to be disciplined. I know exactly what happened. Somebody wasn't taking the dive, somebody wasn't taking the pitch and somebody wasn't taking the quarterback. I don't think necessarily it was his fault. I think those senior leaders have to get together and get this thing going because that stuff was ridiculous." Vaccaro continued: "He's not coaching the wrong things. Everything he teaches will help you succeed on defense. It's not like he's teaching stuff that's unsound. I don't blame him on all of this stuff. I blame maybe some of the recruiting and some of the type of players they're bringing in. I blame the mental, the attitude about it. "I'm being real honest about this. I don't blame the coach. I blame the players, honestly. I think he's a good coach and I think the mentality at Texas isn't where it needs to be right now." Diaz had been at Texas since 2011.[/rquoter] [rquoter]Jamaal Charles: I still believe in Mack Brown; Longhorns just need to ‘start listening to everything he says’ IRVING – Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles didn’t need to be told that Texas lost to BYU on Saturday. The former standout Longhorn said he watched the game and has been teased about the 40-21 loss by Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, a former BYU player. “It kind of hurt,” Charles said during a Wednesday conference call with reporters at the Dallas Cowboys practice facility. “It hurt watching the game and watching my former team. I know they prepare so much to go out there and play in an environment and to end up with those results, it’s bad. “But I still believe in my Longhorns. Hopefully we can overcome that and just take it one game at a time now.” ... So is Brown still the right head coach for the job? “Oh yeah,” Charles responded. “I’m not going to say he’s not. He won a national championship. I still believe in him. I think he gets the guys going. Coach Brown is just a great coach. I [was there] three years and under my three years we were able to go to a bowl game [every year]. “He gets on the players so hard, if they just start listening to everything he says and take it in, Coach Brown will lead [that] team. He’s been to two national championships since he’s been with the Longhorns. I mean, that’s good. He won one and he lost one, but it’s good.”[/rquoter]
Not sure why the coaches (HC and DC) at Stanford don't get a mention considering how well their team has played after Andrew Luck and Jim Harbaugh, two bonafide NFL stars, left the program.
I personally want Jerry Gray. A Texas alum, that wants to be at Texas and be head coach. He's one of the better defensive coordinators in the NFL and he's crazy tough. He would change the whole atmosphere in locker room.
