Baylor?

His isn't a texas guy nor does he fit the big 12 style of play.. Overall I think this will be a bad decision

Style of play? Who cares? You can win playing a variety of styles. Baylor has been a top 10 program for the last few years. Texas guy? Mack Brown came over from NC and had a pretty successful career. Leach was from California and coached as an OC at Kentucky...he managed to do pretty well at Texas Tech. Good coaches find a way to get it done. If he was going to a coaching graveyard like Kansas or Purdue I may have more questions, but he isn't. Now he gets a chance to do it for more money at a high level. He isn't going to fail because he's not a Texas guy...

The problem with that is Baylor is about to return to being like Purdue and Kansas. With only one 2017 Commit and a sullied reputation, and if Texas returns to form it is going to be a long rebuild process. Not even considering if the NCAA does decide to get involved. Briles was able to build something because of his offense and his Texas high school ties.

These coaches are all the same. There are no bigger bullshitters in the entire world.

Highest paid used car salesmen in the country.

Please God no.

Temple administration needs to go out and prove right now that they're committed to winning and fielding a big time program. Pony up (sorry SMU) and go get Charlie Strong.

Well now temple fans know how we felt after losing sumlin.

I think you meant Briles.

But Sumlin cost us a Sugar Bowl game against Michigan. Stomping PSU into the ground was nice but wanted that game against Mich so bad.

Tell that charlie strong (prostyle) a pro-style guy who struggled immensely in the spread league and struggled trying to adapt

Tell that Kevin sumln (a spread guy) who struggled badly In the sec and is now struggling to adapt to a pro-style

And your comparisons are WEAK. Anyone can recruit at Texas, they are Texas.. I dare you to look at Baylor recruiting before briles, or what they are doing now without him
And Mike leech coach at Oklahoma (mainly recruits texas) before coming to Texas tech..same reason some Houston fans want Riley (Oklahoma ties)

Baylor has 1 recruit committ, lost 12 recruits last class, and Atleast 6 transferred since, and more will definitely transfer .. They need talent and depth badly, really badly...
Look at UH in basketball, Sampson doesn't have any coaching ties to texas (recruiting wise) despite being in a city where 8-10 4star or high bball players come from every year, all 3 years we have only been able to recruit out of state jucos

Herman when he built his staff his said his priority was getting coaches with Texas ties, everyone on our staff but our DC has Atleast 5 years recruiting texas

Feel for Temple fans. Nothing worse than being blindsided.

Next coach in ...keep it moving .

I suppose briles is a better comparison but sumlin really cut us deep like Rhule is doing to temple.

Unless he wants a house designed by Johanna and Chip Gaines.

Go out and get Charlie Strong. He's proven that he can win at Louisville and recruit in Florida.

This sucks. He was obviously leaving Temple, but for Baylor right now? He could've waited to see what popped up over the next month. I know there's hotter, better coaches out there, and maybe he thought this was the best he could do? I guess he must have wanted out of Temple badly to take the Baylor gig.
Cheers!

The real shame of all of these coaching moves is that Purdue, Baylor along with a number of the P5 schools is that they aren't near the programs compared to the schools they are leaving in most cases. But these lower tier P5 programs get the benefits achieved by the real players in the P5 & have the money to attempt to keep the better G5 programs down - without having earned it themselves. And it's these better G5 programs that have really earned the benefits.

Jensen: Baylor got it right with Matt Rhule. Now Temple football should hire Charlie Strong

Hmm seems like everyone wants strong. Maybe UH should go after him.

Sold his Soul to the Devil. Just down the road from Tom Judas

Apparently he was a finalist for Oregon as well.
