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?

I really don't see an issue with them trying. But it's just not being handled in a professional way. Their pay sites are all pushing these names. They've already been publicly embarrassed as is but the new guy doesn't need the sort of stigma right off the bat that he was 7th choice. That can make even a pretty good hire come off flat.

Normally anyone with an ounce of sense would reign this in (and believe me, ADs have message control....stfu or stop getting access). The problem is no one even knows who has a job over there any more so the entire AD is leaking like tFlagship. They can't control the monster.
