He might not be wrong. If Texas loses by 70 he could be player that officially brings down Mack Brown. Not sure that is the legacy he wants but some people would rather be remembered for something rather than not being remembered at all.

24/7 saying S Jamal Adams will be in Dallas for Texas/OU.

Great.. Watching This expected blow out live and in person will surely scare him away. But I guess if we somehow win through the grace of God, will have a legitimate chance.

As far as I can tell, it's an unofficial visit. He will likely return for the Oklahoma State in November.

On another note, Derick Roberson won't be in attendance because it's "too early".

[Bloeddyr10]

Any chance Texas takes two quarterbacks this year? I know numbers are getting tight, but with Overstreet officially a quarterback, I started wondering.

I stumbled upon a guy named Kent Myers from Sachse High School. A small, 6'0 185lbs, quarterback with great mobility. Through six games, he has thrown for more than 1700 yards with 22 TD's and one pick. He has rushed for another 440 yards and 8 scores. Don't know what classification Sachse is, but he looks interesting.

Ash, Heard & Swoops makes QB a decent position next season IF Ash is even still playing.

[Bloeddyr10]

Ash, Heard & Swoops makes QB a decent position next season IF Ash is even still playing.

Exactly. If it turns out that Ash's head isn't good, should Texas consider another QB in this class?

[TFloss32]

Sports Illustrated on Texas athletics:

"I think sometimes getting your ass kicked is good," Dodds said. "It's good for coaches and good for kids. It's good for everybody. Getting your ass kicked is not the right word. What's the right word? Getting beat. Being humbled. I think everyone needs that."

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/college-football/news/20131008/texas-longhorns-athletics/?sct=hp_t1t_a2&eref=sihp

[TFloss32]

Exactly. If it turns out that Ash's head isn't good, should Texas consider another QB in this class?

The JUCO route may be tricky in this class because the entire staff is likely to be gone once the season ends and there will be a chunk of time where no recruiting is being done. Even if the current staff made progress with a few guys, there's no guarantee the new staff would agree with those evaluations. It actually may be better if Texas misses a bowl so the new regime can use those extra weeks to do some housekeeping before National Signing Day.

I think you have to look at JUCO for several positions and players that can contribute immediately, specifically QB if we take into consideration Ash's long-term health is up in the air. You could be left with a true freshman (Heard) and redshirt freshman (Swoopes) and basically no game experience. With all of that said, it will largely depend on what the new coach and his staff thinks is best moving forward. Along with possiblity of a few de-commitments by the time the season ends, we may see the new coach drop a commitment or two if he doesn't like what he sees on film.

We haven't seen this scenario in over 15 years, so it's going to be wild come December.

that guys a real piece of work. what a chickenshit thing to say.

[TFloss32]

It's yet to be determined, but Inside Texas saying OL Josh Cochran is probably done for the year after re-injuring his shoulder. Some of you may remember he was dealing with that injury during fall camp. It was bad enough at that time that his doctor informed him that he could need some kind of replacement surgery should he get hurt a second time. It's a safe bet a surgery like that would end his career. That's where things are at right now.

[the chronic]

Inside Texas reporting Josh Cochran may need a shoulder replacement. Horrible news for a good kid, hopefully that won't be necessary as that would certainly look to end his career.

A new target has come on the radar for Texas, per 24/7. 6'7 WR/TE Frank Iheanacho from Houston. Larry Porter has been in contact with him over the last few weeks. 24/7 say they would not be surprised to see Iheanacho as a 5-star in their last rankings. Looks to be another Texas/A&M battle.

Arrion Springs is now a 5-star on 24/7's rankings and 21st best player regardless.

Right now Texas football is eating a shit sandwich, but this program is not devoid of talent nor is it in a situation where even if it gets good it still has mountains to climb. That is the situation Arkansas is in.

Texas is one good coach away from being back in conference contention and a solid QB away from being a national contender.

This. As much of a mess as they are in, they still have LOTS of talent, which is simply being mismanaged by poor coaching. A good coach EASILY wins the Big-12 this year with this roster.

I put little stock in these type of statements. Simply put him coming out and saying this protects him in case he interviews and doesn't get the job. Now he is free to talk behind closed doors without fear of burning bridges. If he gets the offer and accepts he can say he had no intention but Texas sweetened the deal and made him an offer he couldn't refuse. If he doesn't get the offer no big deal he already publicly turned it down.

Mack also made a similar statement before Texas came calling.

Quotes from 2015 RB Jordan Stevenson after committing to Texas (CFBNation):

“I just felt like Texas is home,” Stevenson said. “I felt like they really had high interest in me and the family bond is there. I’m all about family before everything. I just felt like it was a great choice for me and a great opportunity.”

“It was a great experience (the RRR), man,” Stevenson said. “It was a shock treatment for me. They came to ball. They finally stepped up to their potential. It was good seeing some of my hometown buddies like Mike Davis, and they did their thing.”

“I was his (Larry Porter) guy for 2015 even before he told me he had good news and that he was at the University of Texas,” Stevenson said. “And they were already highly recruiting me, so that just slammed the door for the University of Texas. I did my research and bonded with them and did my trips. It was just a great experience.”

“What makes me feel confident in Mack Brown and the staff is, even when things are going bad, that’s when you step up to the plate. They understand what they have to accomplish,” Stevenson said. “I’ve been hearing a lot of rumors, but I’m not letting them get in my head. The way they came out with a great victory yesterday and that team came together and stepped up at the Cotton Bowl, they showed up and showed out.”

“It feels good. It feels really good," Stevenson said. "Texas Nation is going crazy. They’re very excited. Man, just to be a Longhorn means a lot.”

Also interesting, TX/OU had highest TV ratings of any game of the weekend.


Harvey did make it. He was visiting some friends in Dallas and they went to see the game together. He still says that A&M fans has nothing to worry about.

Thanks to you both. Forgot he made it in.

35. TEXAS (4-2). Alright, what the fuck, Texas? You think you can stagger through the first month of the season like a bunch of zombies, getting entire limbs ripped off by the likes of Taysom Hill and Sam B. Richardson, and then just show up against Oklahoma like, oh, okay, this is the real Texas, proving the doubters wrong? Bullshit. I pegged you for the top 10 before the season, as did a lot of other people who thought a veteran lineup was more compelling than three years of diminishing returns, and you made us all look like out-of-touch morons. Even in the games you managed to win, you still sucked. The oddsmakers who looked at your track record against Oklahoma and thought you'd come within two touchdowns on Saturday were really being too kind. Your own fans were bracing for the worst. You deserved to be doubted and abandoned.

So now you've delivered your best performance in four years at the most unlikely, opportune possible moment, salvaging all the preseason noise re: the Big 12 title and a BCS bowl, and we're supposed to do what with this information? Jump back on the bandwagon? Grant Mack Brown a lifetime pass? Dip Greg Robinson and Case McCoy in bronze? Hell no. You are volatile. You cannot be trusted. It's not the first time you've pulled an encouraging upset out of your ass when things looked bleak, and the failure to capitalize on the last one only made the descent that much bleaker. We knew trashing Oklahoma was possible; at one point, we thought it was likely. Now we have no idea what to think, because anything is possible, against anyone, in any direction. Just pick one already.

RUMOR

I've been hesitant to post this one all week because any coaching search seemingly always has a "so and so was looking for a house" rumors. Anyway, Inside Texas has spoken with a few people who have confirmed Nick Saban's wife, Terry, was in Austin (Bee Caves area specifically) last week looking at houses. Supposedly she was saying it was for a "vacation home."

The interesting part is the realtor, Roxan Coffman, is a lady that routinely handles deals for the athletic department. One source believes that the realtor received a referral from none other than Patrick Suddes (former Alabama employee). If Mrs. Saban was indeed in Austin last week looking for a "vacation home", the timing of it all and the way she went about it is definitely interesting.

Do u think that that 1 OU win is significant enough to overshadow all the shortcomings the program has been experiencing these past few years under Mack? I don't think so. I hope they don't give to much credit for that win and allow another year of mediocrity to continue. Yes it was a great win that was very appreciated but let's not get carried away with it. If anything, that win should do nothing more than just secure his job until the end of the season. But to allow him another year as the head coach would be a huge mistake in my opinion. Every year that we are considered soft and don't impose dominance in all aspects of the program, the more the highly ranked Texas born recruits will consider other schools over Texas.

If Belmont is suddenly worried about collieville, then you can bet they will act. I really want him to win out and retire like a man, but I have a feeling he will keep acting like a little girl and want to stay longer. He is not doing himself any favors, if we don't win the conference he needs to be replaced, if we do win the conference he needs to step down and retire as the 2nd best coach in Texas history.

Either way, the Mack Brown era needs to end after this season.

With Texas there is no one that is truly solid, Texas has made a commitment to those they interview for the AD position that Mack is gone and they will have a say in who is the next coach at Texas. It's expected that 500 or so that are employed at Belmont hall most will be losing their jobs. The shake up is that big. With all that, Texas insiders fully expect to lose several recruits but they also expect the new coach to bring in a few key recruits he has recruited.

The offer is on the table to Saban for a contract that averages about 8 mil per year. There are feelers out there for about 3 or 4 other coaches that they would get what Mack is currently making and who ever gets hired will be given a blank check to hire the best assistants money can buy.

Daylon was unable to make it in for the Auburn game, but he did watch it with his parents on tv. His reaction from the game was, "I think when I go there that I'm going to be able to start from day one. I mentioned that there was a possibility he would commit on the visit if his parents would sign off on it, and they are inching closer to letting him make the call. He told me today his mom came in his room and asked him if he was still wanting to commit. He told her yes, but hasn't heard anything else about it since then. He said he wasn't going to push it because he really wants them to let him make the call. When they give the ok told me he will call up the coaches and then probably just announce it on twitter. Needless to say it could be happening a lot sooner than most thought heading into the season. His mom has always been the one that has wanted him to wait a little longer, so hearing that she might be coming on board is pretty big.

This will be common theme.

The staff knows they will be gone next year - so why spend time recruiting kids that will never play for them? They're only worried about '13 and prepping their resumes.

With new staff you always get a good boost in recruiting so expect big '15. But '14 class should see some road bumps.

2. Bama can certainly match any money that Texas can put together. To think otherwise is laughable. There is literally nothing more important than football in Turd town. They'll get the money if they have to.
3. Recruiting? He already stomps UT in recruiting on a yearly basis, convincing kids to go to school in a state that is supposedly worse than Mexico.
4. The stage? :lol Alabama has more winning football tradition than any other school in America, as well as a fawning ESPN to fellate them on the reg. When you win, the stage finds you
5. Dennis Franchione left Alabama because he couldn't handle the pressure, a pressure exerted by the ghost of the best college football coach ever, not to mention the most passionate (and toothless) fanbase in the country
6. He has reached the level of a deity in Alabama. There is no way he'll ever be revered in Texas as much as he is in Tuscaloosa. Too many other things going on in that state. Too many other schools. Too many other pro teams. If his ego is indeed as massive as everyone suspects, there is no more perfect place to feed it than where he is right now.
7. Rich people buy lots of vacation homes, how is that relevant?
8. He gives zero fucks about the AD. Why should he? He's always the alpha dog in the room and gets what he wants regardless of who the stuffy old guy in the AD chair is.

The only one on your list that is relevant is the level of talent already on the team. From a purely football perspective, a move to Austin is lateral at best and a slight step down at worst. Yes, its a much better school in a far nicer city, but do you really think he gives a fuck about that kind of stuff? There are really only a few things which will factor into his decision.

1. Is he ready for a new challenge? Is he getting bored with dominating the SEC? Is owning the Big-12 a bigger, more interesting challenge? Iow, is he bored where he is right now?
2. Potential sanctions.

That's it. All the other bullshit out there is probably moot.

If he goes, that's fine. Good luck and don't let the door hit ya. It will be incredibly pleasurable watching the resulting meltdown in the Crimson-colored fanbase. Oh, and it will be a meltdown perhaps unrivaled in college football history. Alabama will also instantly become easier for Auburn to beat. But if he stays, that's fine too. To be the best you gotta beat the best, and so on. Just don't be surprised if he decides to stick around in Tuscaloosa, as Austin, from a football perspective, doesn't really offer him anything he doesn't already have superior levels of at Alabama.

[Kermit]

You're such a miserable faggot. While I hope Saban goes to Texas as much as anyone, your awful list and Texas superiority complex is as bad as it gets. Yeah, Alabama is a small, poor, red state, but to act like it doesn't have any redeeming qualities is beyond ignorant. I highly doubt you've spent any time there and i'm sure you're just stereotyping it like every other asshole in America. For a self-proclaimed "liberal," you sure are an arrogant, ill-informed, judgemental dipshit. Oh, and I was born in Texas, so don't tell me that "I just don't understand."

You and Vito belong together. Two pieces of shit who didn't attend UT, yet run around like that football team is the most important thing in the entire world. It's no wonder you two are always the ones spouting off with these dumbass takes. You never hear this kind of shit from the UT grads, which speaks volumes. Bottom line? You're an embarrassment to your state and the fanbase of the school you never went to.

1. Bama has 15 national championships --- Texas has 4

If Texas counted MNC the way Bama does it would be 15 to 12

2. Bama can certainly match any money that Texas can put together. To think otherwise is laughable. There is literally nothing more important than football in Turd town. They'll get the money if they have to.

Texas has already said they will offer him 8 million a year, bama might match it, but if Texas really wants to they can probably double that amount. Texas has the boosters to do it.

3. Recruiting? He already stomps UT in recruiting on a yearly basis, convincing kids to go to school in a state that is supposedly worse than Mexico.

There is really only two schools that can out recruit Texas, they are Miami and USC, Alabama is winning and winning improves recruiting. When Texas is winning they own recruiting.

4. The stage? :lol Alabama has more winning football tradition than any other school in America, as well as a fawning ESPN to fellate them on the reg. When you win, the stage finds you

Texas is #2 in all time wins and holds a 7-1-1 advantage head to head over Bama. The only SEC school with a winning advantage over Texas is Vandy.

5. Dennis Franchione left Alabama because he couldn't handle the pressure, a pressure exerted by the ghost of the best college football coach ever, not to mention the most passionate (and toothless) fanbase in the country

It was all about the sanctions

6. He has reached the level of a deity in Alabama. There is no way he'll ever be revered in Texas as much as he is in Tuscaloosa. Too many other things going on in that state. Too many other schools. Too many other pro teams. If his ego is indeed as massive as everyone suspects, there is no more perfect place to feed it than where he is right now.

Saban has noting to prove unless he wants to be the only coach to win BCS championships at 3 different schools.

7. Rich people buy lots of vacation homes, how is that relevant?

How many use a Realtor that work exclusively with the University of Texas

8. He gives zero fucks about the AD. Why should he? He's always the alpha dog in the room and gets what he wants regardless of who the stuffy old guy in the AD chair is.

How do you know this? Texas isn't about the Alpha dog AD, it's about the true Alpha dogs, that would be all the billionaire money men, he listens to them, I know this because it's been reported he is good friends with a couple and regularly golfs with them.


The only one on your list that is relevant is the level of talent already on the team. From a purely football perspective, a move to Austin is lateral at best and a slight step down at worst. Yes, its a much better school in a far nicer city, but do you really think he gives a fuck about that kind of stuff? There are really only a few things which will factor into his decision.

Defensively Texas isn't nearly as talented, but offensively we have at lease equal talent. Except at QB, but that might change by next season. Austin is light years better than most cities this is why it's always ranked in the top 5 best cities in the US to live. Yes, most people do care about that, he has a family and a wife that made the trip to Austin so you know she is going to have a say. There are many factors, not just a few. Saban is the best in the business, he has nothing to prove, for him to come here it's going to be about many things, not just football.

[leemajors]

So texas would feasibly throw 16 mill/year at Saban?

[Vito Corleone]

So texas would feasibly throw 16 mill/year at Saban?

No one said that they would, feasibility in this case means can they do it? Yes, Texas has the money to throw at a coach and boosters that would chip to make that salary happen. In this case 16 million is possible. Now if you are asking would they, I'm going to guess no. Not when we all know Saban doesn't have the market cornered on good coaching. There are many other good coaches out there that would come for much less. The other thing to consider is what would that kind of money do to facility at Texas. Texas basically saying we don't have money for you but we have 16 million for our football coach. I think it's pretty strained as it is with Mack Brown making 5.8 million.

I personally don't think Saban comes to Texas, if he did, it would probably have more to do with impending sanctions on the Bama program than money.

1. Who cares? Princeton and Yale have more national championships than Alabama. Not to mention that they're all imaginary until we get a legitimate playoff system (and no, the 4 team "playoff" isn't legitimate).
4. What? Texas has more wins, as do Michigan, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Ohio State, and Oklahoma. Texas has a better win percentage, as do Michigan, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, and Ohio State. Texas has more conference championships, as do USC, Oklahoma, Michigan, Ohio State, and Nebraska. They have more winning football tradition than any other school in the SEC, but certainly not the country as a whole.

Yeah, in his interview with TexAgs he said his parents said he gets one commitment and he has to stick with it.

[the chronic]

Lots of comments on Saban being thrown around so I'll share some thoughts on Saban from premium sites and insiders.

The Saban talk is going to heat up b/c many of the power brokers at Texas want him as they next head coach. Period. That seems to be pretty consistent theme across all the sites.

Inside Texas probably has the best info on the coaching search from the mods right now because they aren't as concerned with appeasing Bellmont with a more controlled message. They have sources that claim multiple coaches have been contacted (sounds like Saban, Muschamp, Briles, Shaw) and that numbers have been thrown out to feel around and gauge interest. As a side note sounds like nobody thinks Shaw would leave Stanford so sounds like he is unlikely candidate. For Saban, his starting number begins with an eight. Somebody commented if we could pay Saban $16mm, and for a public university there is simply no way that happens. Although I would think $10mm and a blank check for staff would be in realm of likelihood.

How legit is his interest? If you listen to those guys, it's pretty heavy - they seem to think he is the front-runner for info they are getting. And sure everybody has heard about Terry Saban looking at property in Austin speculation as has already been posted.

Those guys have a ton of other good inside info and have been nails lately on all their reporting - but I don't want to post anything more than high level stuff out of respect.

Orangebloods has had some good content coming too but much of it is from the insider posters on their site and lots of it seems to be consistent theme as discussed above. I believe the mods there have a more controller message, however, and don't post as much coach-search info although they all talk about the next AD. Think these guys want to stay closer to Bellmont so they control some of the messaging for better access to program.

Everybody is reporting it looks like Oliver Luck will be the next AD and it could happen pretty soon.

As for me after reading all this? I thought Saban to Texas would NEVER happen if you asked me a month ago. However, I do believe we do have somewhat of a shot if the terms are right based on what is being thrown out. Lots of high up people seem to think we are in the running.

Actually, let me re-state that - some pretty informed insiders think he is most likely guy that will take over and this will get done. Some think it is more likely than not.

I'm going to interject with some reality. Even after reading all the inside info, I've been around negotiations long enough to know that Saban is most likely a long-shot.

Let me elaborate on that - no person will even get their maximum value (ie Saban at Bama) until they show they are willing to walk. So even if it is true that Terry Saban is out looking at property in Austin - it very well could simply be a tactic to scare Alabama into ponying up the dough to compete with a Texas offer. If Bama thinks Saban isn't interested in starting over, why would they even need to match a Texas offer?

And if Texas does not think Saban would be willing to walk for big money, why would they even offer? Saban will not get an eight figure offer unless Texas thinks he'll leave Bama for it.

Would Bama truly pay Saban his true market value if all this doesn't happen? No...

So expect the Saban talk to keep heating up and expect to hear he is willing to leave. But I wouldn't go uncorking the champagne just yet. It's all part of the game.

That said, I do believe there is some reason for some controlled hope.

[the chronic]

I initially left off that 247 mods seem to think Mack has a prayer to stick around (seems like all other insiders are beyond that). However, even they would admit this would likely require winning out. Strangely, they seem to avoid coach/Saban/etc talk because of this. It would be a crazy scenario if he was forced out after 10-2 season and conf title. However, they don't seem to speculate much on 100x more likely scenario of this team not winning out and not winning conf title.

I think those guys are just in tight with Bellmont and keep negativity to a minimal to be friends with the program. To elaborate, Howe was posting stuff on Jameis Winston that we didn't have a chance and was repeating what Mack said. They reported Winston did not show interest or call until late in the process and was not legitimately interested, but I know for a fact this isn't true. I'll say this, I've gone to many camps with my cousin/brother in this timeframe including in Alabama and these guys talk and meet each other and Winston was talking about Longhorns early. People knew. Frankly - he did lose interest late in the process b/c the Longhorns never recruited him - so of course he was not considering us at the end. Sorry to beat horse to death but just pointing out it concerns me reading some of their reporting that it has some spin from the program.

Seems the other insiders are all saying even if Mack wins out it will simply serve as a nice victory lap and nice way to go out in style. But would be crazy scenario if this team did turn things around and won out and Mack wanted to stay. Of course I don't like to speculate on the 1% scenario personally.

This is the week #UF fired Ron Zook. His record was 20-13 and 14-7 in SEC. Will Muschamp's record: 22-11 and 13-8 in SEC.

Quotes from '15 LB Malik Jefferson (24/7)

"We (Mack and him) told each other we were going to try to go to the same college," Jefferson said. "We're still working on that. It's just a confirmation thing, like if I truly want to go there because I've been wanting to go there for the longest."

He added, "It puts (A&M) in a much better position lets just say that."

"It's big," he said of the recent commitments of Myles Garrett and Daylon Mack to A&M. "It shows me they are building something great. I just want to see how they're going to produce because of the loss against Auburn made me slow my roll a little bit, just a little bit."

He added, "It shows how good their recruiting class is, and I know how Daylon has been high on them for the longest, and I think people understand that I was high on Texas, but the firing of Coach (Manny) Diaz made a big impact on my recruitment. It's just an eye opener for me. I think I'm going to keep what's in my heart and in my mind to myself right now and try not to rush anything."

"I kind of want to wait things out but we'll se," he said. "I would like to take some official visits first."

The only impact that the firing of Manny Diaz should have on these kids is the feeling of happiness and contentment. To be young.

I was in a sports bar in LA (CA) and a party of ~30 Ags showed up and about 6 or 7 were dressed just like this. In Texas, we're used to seeing this kind of thing. But there the collective response was "WTF???". Wish I had a camcorder to capture the looks on the faces when they saw the farmer thing going.

So you're fine with taking a shitty coach that couldn't cut it at different high profile job and giving him the keys to the kingdom?

lolwat always seems mad at the internet. These past couple of Mack Brown seasons must have really taken a toll on the kid.

James Lockhart was in a "massive" car accident recently. Says he can walk but obviously he's not playing right now.
