1. Briles. Terrified of his connections in the state and emphasis on offense. Would have Arky competing for third in the west within two years with two top 20 recruiting classes.
People were hot on him early, but him bombing out without RGIII has pretty much eliminated him.
quote:
2. Tuberville. Is a winner, and another good recruiter. He won't make Arky a top 10 program, but he will ruin the season of a top 10 program every year.
Overrated. 18 years as Head Coach, 2 10+ win seasons. Aside from his 13-0 season, meh..
quote:
3. Gundy. Not such a great recruiter but a pretty good coach. Just fricking beats A&M. I don't think he recruits well enough in Texas to really do well at Arky but I might be wrong.
See, I think he is a underrated recruiter, Top 25 classes at Oklahoma St aren't easily attained. Homerun Hire, imo.
quote:
4. Patterson. A pretty good recruiter with good defensive chops. Has had good player development, but is shown to be over his head in the Big 12 this year. Already hit his ceiling.
Has a very, very young team and all kind of injury and QB problems on offense. His past work speaks for itself. Over his head in the Big 12 is not a true statement because of the circumstances. Homerun Hire also, imo. Of course he hit his ceiling, can't go better than 14-0.
quote:
5. Strong. Defensive coach with almost no ties to Texas. Since you need good recruiting for a defense to work well, he basically would have to create a huge and stable pipeline to Florida talent within a year to succeed. I don't see that happening and so he would be my top Arky choice.
He's in top 5 or 6, but he isn't going anywhere this year at least.

Just the fact he found and developed RGlll is huge. His network with Texas High School coaches is what Arky needs to recruit well. I hope yall pass him by.

Maybe not in the past, but after T Boone's renovations they have a lot to sell. I think the issue is not that he can't get talent, but when he did have success he couldn't move up to top 20 classes. He has a ceiling on recruiting it seems.

What past work? Beating up on a weak conference where only he had access to Texas talent?
I give him credit for developing some NFL talent out of two star players. But he has not shown he can run with the big dogs.
His 2013 class, which given his recent success and step up into the Big 12 should mean a top 25 class, is not even in the top 40. That is not going to cut it in the SEC West where A&M is going to run top 10 offensive talent down your throat and LSU/Bama is going to smother you with top 10 defensive talent.

Lost more than RGIII lost Wright Gannaway and others. Briles is not in consideration because of the situation in Waco (Baylor is going enforce buyout and he doesn't want to leave the gold mine he has).
