Posted: Sun Oct 28, 2007 9:07 pmI agree-plus this year there just are not too many bight young superstar assistants with strong ties to Texas recruiting. The UT and OU staffs have been picked over. The A&M staff has turned over and hasn't been very successful. I guess if you had to name one it would be Brent Venables at OU. Also, Bo Pellini has Big 12 experience. Pellini would have to be a consideration but I think he's aiming higher. Gill has the best resume and longest recruiting experience in Texas-he has built an impressive resume-he ain't just a token consideration. If he wins the MAC at Buffalo-he'll get interviews all over the Country.

Quite possibly. Fate is a funny thing.

Anybody SMU is going to look at was a coordinator at some point.
