Who I think Texas should consider

Just a few years ago Mack was riding high, reeling in top classes every year, locking down the state of Tx and dominating every other team in his conference.

Behind the scenes he was keeping the regents happy and being a true ambassador to the university for their football program.

One coach likely to be fairly easy to get without the huge buyout or dancing around this or that agent will be Jimbo Fisher and Texas should consider him regardless of the BCS NCG's outcome.

Reasons:

1. Charisma - Jimbo has that syrupy sweet southern hospitality type charisma that would really work in the Austin culture amongst the regents and businessmen boosters, clubs etc he would have to meet and deal with.

2. Recruiting - Jimbo's whole career as a HC he has been an above-average to great recruiter even reeling in at least 1 (that I can remember) #1 class and has shown the ability to make great evals on kids to fit the schemes he wants to run.

3. Marketable - With the new Texas coach being directly thrust into the spotlight on the LHN, they need a coach with not only experience but also some marketability. With his history and background, he would do rather well in that venue I believe, he's again charismatic and loves the game of football.

4. The right experience with regards to staff and playing scheme - He has experience bringing in a staff full of people who will fully buy into his system or what he's selling and then creates that M.O. amongst the team and his staff helps him bring in the right kids that will do it the way he wants. That experience he already had dodging live bullets doing this at FSU is invaluable. His greatest recruiting job was selling Jameis Winston not at being just a QB but to be his leader for 2-3 years 1st and QB 2nd.

5. Undervalued - I remember just a couple years ago at the tail end of Bowden's recruited players (or lack of depth at a couple positions because BB got kinda lazy) when the team struggled to make it to .500 and FSU came very close to firing Jimbo...fast forward 2 years later and he is leading the #1 team with the Heisman QB at the helm into the BCS NCG.

6. Longevity - Maybe the most important aspect...he is only 48 and I believe as close to becoming the next Nick Saban (look at all my points above) in terms of coaching and possibly laying out and building a dynasty at a great football school like Texas. He can easily coach 12 - 15 more years and there would be no desire from him (as much as he loves coaching) to retire.

All 6 of these points are something the next coach at Texas will need to encompass and I believe Jimbo is the only one who can, not even Saban

What do you guys think?
