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




They couldn't get the biggest money chasing whore in the business but.....everything else on the table seems very possible

I know it's fun to mock Texas, but does anyone really think that Texas should just start their search with Tier B of coaching prospects? Sure, there is little chance of landing the guys named in the article, but wouldn't it be near negligence on the part of the AD not to at least gauge interest from the top guys?


I think everybody is mocking Texas because they set the wheels in motion for Mack Brown to resign assuming that "Tier A" coaching prospects would be lined up down the block for the "best job in college football". Meanwhile, nobody in that class of coaches is showing any interest. frick Texas.

This, and not to mention the fact that their classification of "tier 1" candidate is downright fricking nuts while good, realistic candidates won't be deemed home run.

Texas could potentially pay as much or more than any of these guys. If you think that there isn't reciprocal interest, you're just not well informed. Here are the top salaries in the NFL. I'm not pretending to suggest that any of these guys are interested. But to assume that UT can't get a tier 1 coach, whatever that is, is somewhat moronic.

NFL: Payton, Patriots coach Bill Belichick ($7.5 million), Chiefs coach Andy Reid ($7.5 million), Seahawks coach Pete Carroll ($7 million), Rams coach Jeff Fisher ($7 million), Redskins coach Mike Shanahan ($7 million), Giants coach Tom Coughlin ($6.67 million) and Eagles coach Chip Kelly ($6.5 million).
