Why would an NFL coach want to come to UT?

Not sure what Harbough is making but the control and lack of dealing with an NFL owner would be the biggest differences. However, the pinnacle of the coaching career is the NFL head coach, so with that said and the success he has had it really would be taking a step down. Him being one of the younger NFL coaches also leads me to believe this is less likely.

I think if Texas' job were just about being a good coach/recruiter Briles would be about as good as it gets. Texas, IMO believes coach Briles is beneath them and I don't think they will go after him at all. I think in most cases they can pick their coach and no one is unattainable, however this played out kind of ugly and now that Saban is off the table, I think they might be in danger of ending up with a lame duck replacement as well.

Curious why you claim Saban is off the table? Did Texas even offer him a deal yet? Nothing different in regards to obtaining Nick. Still have to buy him out, like you would of had to do a month ago. I still think what Texas was going to offer is still more than what Bama gave him.

Saban is a business man first, who can happen to coach. Contract means nothing to him. If Texas wants him, they can $till get him. Just be prepared to replace him in about 5 years after you win a NC a time or two, minus 50+ million. Is it worth it? That's the question.

He just re-upped. Why do you think he is still in play? It's not like Saban just bumped up a couple of hunderd thousand. He increased his salary by nearly 2.5 million a year. He is making 7.5 million a year at Bama. He is staying put.

Saban is also 62 years old and oh by the way, Texas just ran off a 62 year old. That would be a quick fix and then what are you left with. If they pay that kind of money, at least if it were me, I would want a little bit of longevity.

I was just replying to the comment, "Saban is off the table". I say he isn't. Texas never even offered their deal yet. Do you think Texas was just going to offer 5 million to him in the first place? 8 is what I was hearing, for 4 years. Now--question is---do they up that? I just would not say, Saban is off the table. Not saying Texas will get him. Just, he can be gotten.

True that. We could be wishing we had Mack back in a year or so after this mess. Especially when names like a North Carolina coach comes up as Brown's replacement. Mack has class. Nice remarks he stated in regards to A&M bonfire tragedy, as he exits as coach.

This. Talked to a friend of mine that is a local oil company president, huge UT Alum. He said the 'discussed' offer for Saban was $9.6 M/yr x 5 yrs... agree that this has been handled about as bad as it could be by Texas. Only saving grace is $$$$$.... Texas has more of it than any other school out there. This will allow them to still get a top flight coach and come out of this OK, though it may have cost them a year of recruiting which is huge.

I heard that Old Tiger has met with somebody that knows somebody that slept with somebody that happens to be friends with one of the water boys for the Longhorns. According to my source, the water boy was told by the groundskeepers assistant, who heard the equipment manager talking to a janitor in the athletic department that Texas was talking to Todd Dodge about the coaching position. But, OT has sent a message back to the top that he does not believe Dodge would be any better than him for the position.

I'm reading between the lines on the whole Saban issue but I believe that it was factual what Chip Brown reported. Others mentioned Saban but Chip did not.


IMO Saban was going to be the guy but Mack through a fit when Chip broke the news which completely shifted the whole timeline. Mack played hardball and waited till Saban announced he would stay that he would resign as one last screw you Texas. Also sounds like Bill Powers wanted to keep Mack but Patterson didn't want that.

11.Mike Tomlin (Pittsburgh Steelers): 20/1
For what it’s worth, Kelly is still within an 18-month show-cause penalty with the NCAA dating back to his tenure at Oregon. Any school hiring him risks penalties

I can't see Gruden seriously considering it. Gruden makes around $4.3 million to do MNF broadcast and stuff related to it. 0 stress. Probably has to get to the city a few days before to prep, but otherwise gets to hang with the kids most of the time. Is an extra $2-$3 million worth having to work 52 weeks out of the year and have immense amount of stress brought down on you? Recruiting alone is ten times the work he has to do now.

Top 3 IMO in no particular order

Art Briles - Baylor
Charlie Strong - Louisville
Urban Meyer - Ohio St



Guys who I feel would be terrible hires

James Franklin - Vanderbilt
Larry Fedora - North Carolina
Dabo Sweeny - Clemson


Off the radar guys

Bill O'Brian - Penn St
Gary Anderson - Wisconsin


Guys who I don't think would come to Texas but would like

David Shaw - Stanford
Pat Fitzgerald - Northwestern
Kevin Sumlin - Texas A&M

Coordinators that would be good hires if Texas went that route

Chad Morris - Clemson
Kirby Smart - Alabama


NFL names that are mentioned

Jim Harbaugh - 49ers
Mike Tomlin - Steelers

2 of the 3 guys I list as my top 3 were in it till the end. Briles and Strong and it appears Strong got the job.


They say Strong will bring his entire defensive staff including defensive coordinator including Vance Bedford.

Bedford has ties to Texas and is from the state.



What I would be disappointed with is if he brings his OC with him. The guy calls a Greg Davis style of offense.
