We could have had Art Briles
Posted: Mon Sep 01, 2014 10:47 amI 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.

Posted: Mon Sep 01, 2014 11:10 amSumlin 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.
