Next Texas Coach?

[Stallion]

I read something about there being no buyout in Saban's new contract-is that true?

[ClassOf81]

I saw something somewhere that suggested UT will swing and miss at Saban (check), Meyer, Fisher and Mora before ultimately deciding between Charlie Strong and Dabo Swinney.

longshot I grant you, but Jerry Gray...

Mike "COME AFTER ME! I'M A MAN! I'M FORTY! I'M NOT A KID" Gundy at Okie Light

Randy Allen, HP Coach! He does more with less talent than most schools! (Sarc)

[gostangs]

actually june does more with less talent - but the fact that he has less talent his own fault (and our biggest issue).

[mrydel]

Jason Garrett should be available.

[leopold]

Apparently there is a short list of 5 names.

Dabo Sweeney from Clemson
Jim Mora from UCLA
James Franklin from Vandy
Gus Malzahn from Auburn
Jimbo Fisher from FSU

It's believed Sweeney is at the top. I honestly can't believe that Malzahn would leave Auburn for UT; don't know anything about Fisher's history with FSU outside of him being an assistant. I still don't believe a nice coach from Vanderbilt would be their first choice.

[orguy]

Sweeney would be a poor choice for UT. He consistently has lost to top ranked teams. Yet, they always have talent there.

Strong or Mora would be a better fit at Texas.

Guy from Northwestern would be a good fit.

Does Texas want to implement the run n shoot??

[gostangs]

franklin would be great for them - he would out Sumlin Sumlin

Guy from Northwestern would be a good fit.

Pat Fitzgerald played LB there. When they hired him, he might have been the youngest HC in the country. I don't see him leaving Northwestern.

[gostangs]

Right...because nobody would leave somewhere they like to double their salary.

[stc9]

I would love to double my salary. I'm sure Pat Fitzgerald would as well. I just think the guy bleeds purple. It would be a tough, emotional decision for him to leave Northwestern. It is a moot point since his name hasn't been mentioned by anyone other than us.
