I would expect a top destination like texas to conduct its coaching search in a much more streamlined manner. So far, they seem to stink at it.

Doyle doesn't know what he is talking about. Brown has known for a while he wasn't going to be retained. All of the drama that has been produced the past few days is Mack's doing. Hell, he's been treated a hell of a lot better than A&M treated Sherman, firing him while he was in the driveway of a recruit's home.

As for the search, it was carried out in a systematic, business-like way, which began months ago. Soon, the next coach will be revealed. Like I said earlier, Doyle has no clue of the details.

And I suppose you do. Do you work in the athletic dept or for the 1 or 2 boosters that run your program because the university sure dosen't run it.

Meh. I kind of expect it, especially when looking at how Delose handled himself during conference realignment, Major banging the chubby chick while at a bowl game, Bev banging her athletes and then her being forced out, old freak nasty Cleve Bryant getting fired for sexual harassment and the 400k that cost, Bev Kearney's $1 million lawsuit against the university alleging discrimination based on gender and race.

Yep, well oiled athletic department you got there!

And my guess is that it's someone other than Saban.

What does it matter if Texas is a mess? Wasn't Bama when he took that job? I realize Saban had a lot more incentive to leave where he was to go back to the College game, but he was walking into a tough spot then, as well. They had the Mike Price fiasco, then hired Shula, who went from a 10-0 start in 05 to out the door in 06. Just look at Saban's first season.That team needed a LOT of work and a big talent upgrade.

The current Texas team leaves a lot to be desired, but they STILL came within a game of winning their conference. Saban would have them hammering everyone in year 2. I'm not saying he's leaving, but for a guy who seems to pride himself on rebuilding teams, Texas' current situation doesn't seems like a deciding factor at all.

first, obsession fricking noted

Btw, why was Sherman fired in that manner? Because the decision was made and someone (Bohl I think) leaked it early before they'd had a chance to tell Sherman. So Byrne called him so he didn't have to find out from the press. Mack on the other hand, got a text from Bobby Burton asking him if he'd stepped down. That's how he fricking found out. You really think Mack has been treated better? What planet do you live on?

The entire situation right now in Austin is a 3-ring circus. You have leaks in every direction and no one knows who the frick is in charge. You've got your single biggest booster who you named your stadium after taking shots at your fanbase ffs. The only thing missing at this point is an elephant and a tent. But yeah, it's being handled in a systemic, business-like manner
