Face facts Briles is at the top of the Board

He is not.

Or the Victim of a witch hunt.

Oh poor art briles. He's soooo mistreated. Look if he was dumb enough to take the fall, or let it be pinned on him...dont want him.

Some of that sounds like your friends opinion thrown into the conversations to spice them up, but have nothing to do with the search firm.

So what you are saying is that LSU has hired his firm, or there are other schools gauging Jimbos interest. Jimbos agent isn't going to tell a search firm that Jimbo is just using LSU for a raise. You also mention Gundy and Briles. Again, you are telling us that LSU has hired his firm when you give us names like that.

You are telling us that Texas has already hired his search firm and Herman has made it clear that he is ready for Texas. Another thing... If Charlie Strong is set to be fired if he loses to OU this weekend, then Texas knows who they want and don't need a search firm.

I don't know why I think your guy is kinda full of shite, but I do.

What team does he work for at Parker?

never said that. nor did I imply that in any way shape or form.. that is your assumption. It is their job to have list of hot coaching commodities as well as other fields such as searching for the next great AD, presidents of universities and such. He works in the coaching/athletics dept and does research all day, finding trends, putting in numbers for their databases etc. The single most important factor in success in their data base is the ability to build a program because it requires high efficiency in multiple categories.

everyone has floated their names not just search firms.. again they are going on who is the most successful in recent years. They get calls all the time from athletic directors to update their short list. Every AD has one. they get a fee for these services obviously.

again it has nothing to do with the search firm, they get information and process it. The chances of Herman landing in Texas are exponentially higher than anywhere else based on the interview from a former colleague of his who is now at Tulsa.

im sure he wont, but it still doesnt stop back channels from communicating

Soooo, what actually happened last year with Jimbo then? Did he turn LSU down, or did LSU back off. It seems like you are saying he turned LSU down, since he is only using LSU for a raise and isn't "going anywhere".

that I have no idea about... just my opinoin, i dont think he was ever coming.. it doesnt make a whole lot of since for him to come. he has won a national title at the school he is at..

I like DJ Durkin!

Morris is struggling more than I expected at SMU. He has a long way to go yet. Not saying he can't get it done, just thought it would be a slam dunk and he would show some immediate signs of success.

Re the buddy at the search firm: where does PJ Fleck fall in all of this? I'm impressed at the job he has done at WMU. That's a hard place to win consistently and he's doing it
