Saban signed an extension with Alabama and stated no interest in the Texas job. He is slippery, but he is boxed in now.

How could he turn down

And TX has won two NCs in the last 42 years and can't even compete in recruiting against TA&M since they joined the $EC. Best college football school in the NCAA? I think not. All hat, no cattle.

The University of Texas has the greatest athletic budget in all college athletics with wealthy alumni and supporters. No school will out bid them. The campus is in Austin which is considered one of the "it" cities in the USA. Cool kids want to live there. It is located in a highly populated state where football is king and high caliber recruits plentiful. UT selects more than they recruit.

The right coach under the new playoff system and commanding tremendous resources beyond the dreams of Tiger fans will often complete for the NC. Book it.

I have heard that my whole life.
Despite them having eleventy bazillion dollars some things remain constant.

85 scholarships.
100 yard football field.
Regulation Ball.

With all their advantages, their results have been meh.
I see no reason for expecting a huge change.

Exactly. Texas has as many national championships in my lifetime as BYU, Georgia, Clemson, Colorado, Georgia Tech, Tennessee, and Auburn, among others.

Mack Brown won 2 conference titles in 16 years. 2. In 16 years. K-State has won 2 in the same time period. Yes, that K-State. The school that has absolutely no advantages and was one of the losingest programs in FBS history until Bill Snyder showed up.

There appears to be confusion between the potential of success at Texas versus achievement. The soil is rich, but the farmer must carefully and expertly tend it to yield a bountiful harvest.

As long as the roots are not severed, all is well. And all will be well in the garden.

delusion vs reality... TX sounds like a wish sandwich.

And Alabama had how many titles prior to Nick Saban in the last 20 years?!!

People need to get their head out of their tails and see the reality. A young, dynamic, good coach at Texas, with the money they can pour into facilities and everything else that would give them a recruiting edge... it is more than a sleeping giant, it is Bama 7 years ago. They will be back in elite status in less than 3 years.

Yeah, I agree with this. I think recent results for Texas say more about Mack Brown than the program itself. With the recruiting base, facilities, athletic budget, and fanbase that Texas has, they should be a top program.

Mack Brown struck out on Jameis Winston, RGIII, and Johnny Manziel. Any of those three would have won BIG at Texas

That name is mentioned on the airwaves in Texas about once every minute out here.

Art Briles to interview today or tomorrow with UT. Not sure where he stands on the candidate list but if offered he will accept (IMHO). Having been through the X to UK deal I tried to warn people but I guess you have to live it to believe it can happen to you. Non-denial denials convince some folks I guess. It does suck to go through this again. I hope the popcorn (or snowcone? can't recall) machine at BU is bolted down cause if Briles goes the staff goes with him.

The UCF Fiesta Bowl game last night reminded me of the sweet 16 loss to Mizzou before the X to UK deal. A week of swirling rumors and non-denial denials takes a toll on team effort and emotion and without those two things you got no chance.

yea, my boss is a Baylor grad and huge fan

would suck to lose Briles, but he has never left the state of TX as a coach, so he knows all the ins and outs for recruiting, etc.

With the type of recruits Texas can get, you would think they would go after someone with a more pro oriented offense. Those fast pace spread offense's always get exposed in big games. Baylor got exposed by a team with C-USA recruits. They would be better off with David Cutcliffe or Mark Dantonio.

Dantonio's name came up today while I was driving in to work. It still seems like they want, in order, Fisher, Briles, Strong, Franklin.

Any of those would start a domino.

They should try and get Kelly from Philly-

You act like Baylor's team is composed of 4 & 5 star recruits.
They aren't either. More like 3 stars..with a few 4 stars thrown in maybe.

A offense or defense is only as good as its players. You may be the best schemer in the world (see Charlie Weis at Notre Dame), but if you don't have the talent to execute....it is all for naught.
