Process Of Elimination - Texas

Here is what we know:
- Texas still doesn't have a coach;
- Rumors of coaches to UT have been nearly non-existent since Saban agreed to new deal;
- Jimbo Fisher has been the most mentioned candidate, followed by Malzahn;
- Jimbo apparently just signed a new extension with FSU;
- Malzahn also reportedly has a new deal with AU.
So, all is quiet at UT. The coaching search committee formed by Patterson has reportedly not even met.
All three frontrunner coaches have new deals.
Recruiting season is heating up and UT stands to lose a lot if a replacement is not named by the end of the first week in January.
Conclusion: Texas already has their man and he has yet to coach his final game at his current school or professional team. I don't see any other reasonable explanation.

I think you're giving UT way too much credit on already having a coach

Or, UTx sucks at finding a coach.

Texas was never going to name a coach before Mack's final game. They didn't want to steal his spotlight. They gave him his moment last night. Now the next step in the future of Texas football begins. They'll name a new coach within a week. It won't be Saban, or Harbaugh, or Malzahn.

The new coach has not coached his final game and there has been a recruiting dead period the last few weeks.
It will either be Saban or Strong, IMO. I am leaning more towards Saban going to the NFL now more so than last week. The contract extension in Tuscalooser means nothing today.

My wish list, in terms of tiers and what has been reported to this point:
Wishful Thinking Tier: John Harbaugh, Jimbo Fisher
Best and Most Realistic Option Tier: Art Briles
If All Else Fails, Give This Guy a Chance Tier: Gary Andersen, Chad Morris
As Much as I Love Texas, Please Stay at my Alma Mater Tier: Gus Malzahn
I do think it's pretty suspicious that all we have heard up to this point is blind reporting, with no actual quotes from agents or UT reps. So I would not be surprised if we do already have our guy and we're just waiting till next week to announce it

their AD reported in the houston chronicle this morning that they have set a deadline to have a new coach by january 15th. that's cutting it close but the dead period ends that day so the new coach can visit all of the commitments and recruit their targets by phone before signing day. many recruits, if not most, want the program and if the new guy is a good salesman (what hc isn't?) they can save their class or at least most of it.

They need someone refined who can be smooth with the big boosters and their school support politics.
