so big 12 fan, if major is supposedly running the practices does that mean mack is definitely out and if major isn't given the job who will be target #1

I don't think Mack is going anywhere soon. With Harsin gone, Major was logical choice to be his replacement at this point in the season. As stubborn as Mack is, he still needs to energize this team if he's going to win the bowl game and the players love him (Major). Harsin is gone & Diaz is basically job hunting - Major has the energy, youth, and enthusiasm to run the show for the time being.

If & when Mack leaves, Petersen is most likely # 1 target if he's available. However, if Major's is hugely successful as OC, that could change, although promoting someone from within the staff to HC has never happened at Texas (as far as I know). Saban is not even in the picture. More likely names in addition to Petersen are Fedora and Patterson.

A lot of it depends on who is AD at the time. And that could change relatively soon too (within the next year). Oliver Luck's name has been mentioned as a person of interest in regards to that position. He was in Austin this past weekend.

I heard Muschamp and now Fedora are at the top...this assumes Saban and Meyer are not legit options.

Forget Muschamp & Meyer. Ain't happening.
