I still think UT breaks the bank and gets Briles.

I didn't know UT had a Hawaiian Culture (HC) position open

Two coaching hires ago, UT grabbed Mackovic from Illinois. Last time they pulled Mack Brown from UNC.

They have exactly ZERO history of being able to pull in big names from huge programs. The talk of Harbaughs, Saban, Fisher going to UT is an absolute joke. It is a good gig, but not good enough to leave another major gig for it.

I keep hearing that there are a lot of issues between Briles and UT that wouldn't allow it to happen, regardless of the buyout. Politically, is UT going to validate another in-state university buy buying out its coach? I doubt it.

David Shaw is an interesting name, but I don't know if he is established enough yet. Not sure if he is still running off of what JH did.

The Vandy coach is an interesting idea as well. I would be surprised to see UT go to a private school for a coach. They want someone who has experience with a larger school.

My top pick for UT would be Charlie Strong. Great recruiting ties in south Flordia, with combined with the Texas base would be immense. He could hold out a year if Brdigewater comes back and wait for Florida or Miami to open up, but I think he would be a great choice. If he moves to UT, I bet Schiano would go to Louisville.

Surely we all picked up on the sarcasm.... If not sarcasm then LWJR is drinking some firewater that I'd like a swig of.

IMHO: Urban Meyer or James Franklin.

They are great coaches and fit the buttoned down image UT wants from a coach.

Charlie Strong while a great coach who would do well at UT doesn't have the whole package UT wants.

I still think it is Jimbo Fisher. Extensions can be worked both ways. I think this one was to relieve the pressure of the UT search while planning for the national championship. After the NC game I think Fisher bolts.

UT and college football in general is a completely different beast than it was when Mackovic was hired...
