Texas Coaching Search Thread

according to sources every one is a possibility. according to some real estate agent in Austin Nick Saban was a possibility.............I take it back not everyone..Mack and Myself don't have a chance.

I'll bet no matter who it is OT will say Texas got their first choice (off the B- List)....right OT.

I think that is one thing Patterson has done beautifully on. Keeping the true targets under wraps so no one will ever know who the target is

Bet Saban get's one more call after this loss tonight.

I've said all along Art Briles, Charlie Strong, or Nick Saban.

Scratch Saban. He doesn't want to see OU ever again.

Actually George O'Leary did beat Strong and Briles this season so maybe UT will be calling him - UT knows a thing or two about pretending, so that resume thing could be a plus for him.

At least Texas doesn't claim titles 60-80 years after the fact.

Multiple sources are naming Charlie Strong as new HC...

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.

Best wishes to Charlie. Time to get to work. Hook'em.
