re: OK if Texas is such a great job then how...

It's true. Texas is a giant power and unlike any job in the country

It's the definition of a true CEO type job


Most people not involved with UT dont know the whole story of why they couldnt get an A list coach back in 2013. They had just hired a new AD Steve Patterson who was very unlikable and rubbed people the wrong way. He lasted all of 20 months.

Also many coaches were very close with Mack Brown and felt he was treated very poorly and disrespected and we all know coaching is a fraternity and that rubbed guys the wrong way.

it was combination of a bunch of things. in a clean slate perfect world, texas can damn near get anyone they want.


Say what you will and laugh all you want, but the Saban to Texas thing was very real and would have happened had Mack resigned and gone out on his terms.
