Had he stayed, recruiting for 22 would essentially have been another repeat, but worse with the transition class of '21. He would again lose to an unranked team and the fanbase would be wanting him gone ASAP.

Hmmmm. Texas lost to ISU, OU and TCU. ISU and OU are ranked but the other school isn't. I wonder who the Longhorn fanbase can't stand losing to...

So I ventured over to surlyhorns and in the "Expectations for Sark" thread, virtually the unanimous comment was "for a start, beat TCU." LOL.

For the record, TCU is 7-2 against UT in the Big12, is the team that has beaten the Longhorns the most times in Austin (more than A&M despite many more games and because they always play OU in Dallas). Maybe, instead of demeaning and ignoring us, UT fans are beginning to see us as a rival. I doubt it though. After "finishing Strong," we Frog fans say "So long to Mensa" and hello to "Cutty Sark." Best of luck!

Yep.. Gary Patterson is still around just because he can beat Tom/Texas consistently since Mack was ousted. Not like TCU has been setting the world on fire since 2014/2015.

If that's real, they fired him for doing what they were doing? They were shopping around for his replacement and so he was looking to see where he might go if they fired him?

Yep that's what some insiders that was posted on surly were saying. After they found out he was reaching to is when they ramped up the search. Inside Texas reported that Campbell was contacted (or his camp) in early December, but the search team felt that it just wasn't a good fit for Texas nor Campbell. Then they focused on Kelly, and Kelly's camp was receptive.. and IT says they were also talking to Sark and that they felt more excited than Sark.. And I'll be honest here..BK felt like the perfect hire that Texas would make just like IT said. Coaches like Sark would be the hire ou would make when looking for a HC.

Brian or Chip?

Brian works for the AAS and Chip works for 247

IT is Nahlin, Wells, Hamilton, Waddington, Burton... The Campbell, BK, Sark scoop was posted by IT scoop part 2 earlier today. Can't remember which one wrote it (Nahlin?)

Just guessing, but I think he was asking what Kelly was being looked at. I am pretty sure it was Brian.
