    I hope the first thing he does as the AD is fire Rick Barnes. That guy is awful.

    Where did you read that? Why would they ask about a specific member of the personnel department? Just guessing but I would think it would be more along the lines of a vision of the future, plans to get there and specific benchmarks that are expected in each sport to obtain the goals. I wonder what Mack's boyout would be, didn't he sign the equivalent of a life time contract after 2005? It has to be astronomical.

    The Buyout is 3.5 million and his contract runs thru 2020... he is currently making over 5 million a year.

    Wow, suprised it is that low. Is that due to no renegotiating since he signed that monster deal?

    I heard Rick is gone April 2014.


    The two finalist were builders of facilities and venues on their resume. That is something that weighed heavily on Texas. The facilities are some of the best in America but they need to be modernized. There are plans to stop using the Erwin Center for basketball because of some med school things and the south end zone project is on the horizon.

    No one from the AD dept or related to Texas was in on the interview process. The consultation firm hired made the decision.
