USA TODAY’s Dan Wolken is reporting that Texas, if it can’t hire Houston’s Tom Herman, will likely target the following head coaches:
Florida head coach Jim McElwain, North Carolina head coach Larry Fedora, Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze Washington head coach Chris Petersen California head coach Sonny DykesFrom USA TODAY:

The key, according to one person with knowledge of the industry, is what happens at Texas. If Charlie Strong can’t save his job, Texas is expected to pursue Houston coach Tom Herman. But if that marriage falls apart for whatever reason, it could trigger a series of dominoes that impact multiple top-25 programs. Among the names that could be mentioned in connection with Texas are Florida’s Jim McElwain, Ole Miss’ Hugh Freeze, Washington’s Chris Petersen, North Carolina’s Larry Fedora and California’s Sonny Dykes. It’s also likely Fisher, Fedora and Freeze will be in play at LSU if interim coach Ed Orgeron doesn’t do enough to be elevated permanently


Lol. Ill send Texas AD a thank you card if he hires Mac. LINK

Freeze and Peterson are just dumb, theyre not going anywhere.

Texas should be one of the greatest jobs in coaching, but all the closed-doors drama and politics have held them back for decades. thats not gonna change any time soon, its why Herbstriet called it a cesspool last week. combine that with the slow death of the 12, which is inevitable now, and I think LSU has the edge with Herman.

I would seriously consider if I'm freeze


He hasn't been able to run the SEC gauntlet, but he can definitely give Saban fits, so why not go to the B12 where if you win the conference you get in and then you can have your one shot haymaker at Saban to win something besides the cotton bowl


I know he's a lifer. But it's an interesting scenario

yeah thats a valid point, but Texas is way more trouble than its worth right now imo. not to mention Freeze was born in Oxford, this is one of those rare "dream job" situations that is actually true.

Disclaimer: Briles is a card-carrying scumbag.

What's the half life of his radioactivity, and does he just ease back into Waco at some point like Petrino's UL redemption?

The guy can coach and recruit in Texas.

Exactly man. This is all a bunch of bull shat to get 90% of those coaches raises and more money for their agents.
