No shite! Throw in Bill Cowher and Tony Dungy too. Could Texas be more arrogant? They got turned down by Saban who couldn't hack it in the NFL but think that successful NFL coaches like Harbaugh, Carroll or McCarthy would be interested?

It is literally impossible to understate the arrogance and self importance of sips. I mean can you imagine if the best known website for your school put something like this out?

Gentlemen, prepare yourselves for the greatest coaching search of all-time

And just like that, everything about the Longhorn football program has changed.

With so many thoughts running through my mind, the first dominant one is that everyone needs to buckle up because the moment of truth is here.

We're about to witness one of the truly great college coaching searches in a generation.

For a decade, I've listened to rumors of top-level coaches foaming over the chance to take control of the Longhorn program and now we are going to see what the Joneses are truly capable of.

With the story unfolding as it has, the Longhorns might not be in a position to nab Nick Saban, but everything else on the table seems very possible and there's no reason why the Longhorns shouldn't exhaust every natural resource needed to ensure that the program secures a nuclear warhead.

If that means waiting until the BCS games are over to seriously ratchet up the interview process, so be it.

I don't the Longhorns should feel pressured to make any quick decisions in the coaching search and every step should be carefully taken so that none of the top candidates are spooked.

All that matters is getting it right and this is the Texas' chance to prove what everyone has always suggested about them.

Go be the Joneses. Settling is for punks. Go be the Joneses

Meanwhile, it's forever important that this sleeping giant is hugely gigantic at this very moment because of the man that is departing. There will be a lot of conversations about a lot of the layers of this story, but one of the bottom lines is that Mack Brown is a Hall of Fame coach and the greatest of the modern era in the Longhorn universe.

He'll always be that guy. And everyone should make sure to embrace a warm goodbye through the rest of this month because a rebuild of the Humpty Dumpty sideshow behind the scenes will make the open position even more attractive.

The spotlight is on The University of Texas. We're about to find out if what starts here truly changes the world.
