We could have had Art Briles

I remember when Briles was in his last year at Stephenvile before he went to Texas Tech I told a friend we should go get him and fire Cavan. Hum....how did that play out for us.

JJ was set to leave for ASU before A&M hired Sumlin.....

Sumlin wasn't as getable as Briles obviously and high school coaches are rarely successful going straight to college but It does make you wonder what if. He couldn't have been worse than Cavan or Bennet I would think. So onward we go looking for our next coach next year-it goes on and on and on.

You're probably right but if we had thrown JJ type money at Sumlin, maybe even a little more, who knows.

But Orsini assured us that we hired the best coach in America!

Briles made a bit less at Baylor at first than JJ (1.7-1.8 vs 2.0MM) but word was that he wanted a smaller town and the Big 12 was a draw. Now he makes over 4MM.
