OT - Mack Brown Rumors

[Orangello]

According to UConn fans, Saban was headed to UConn as HC, and bringing Fisher and Malzahn along as assistants.

and then the PCP wore off.....

heard at the Austin Airport they have been paging Saban's name all day long

he stiffed the poor waitress at Applebees. Cheapskate....

Actually that was the Scarlett Kningcompoops. He's holding out a year for them to flush that turd Flood.

Jimbo Fisher is the guy I would target if I was the AD of Texas. Fisher is Nick Saban lite and I think he could get the athletes for Texas to come back. If I was FSU I would be nervous.

Crazy story. Must read from Orange Bloods.

So he basically waited out Saban then resigned. Crazy

• Eddie O has Austin on speed dial.
• PP claims that opportunities come to him, so he's not calling.
• Lane is waiting to try to take the job of whoever gets the Austin gig.
• Muschamp wonders if he should've stayed in Texas.
• Gary Patterson is bummed about the timing.
• meanwhile... Briles wonders just what he could do with the recruiting advantages in Austin.

Briles has to be a contender. Would Jimbo be tempted? Does Gundy get a sniff?

Some possible replacements that come to mind:
Gundy
Coach from Baylor?
Dabo
Les Miles
Jim Tressell

Opie has withdrawn from consideration.

Seriously it has to be the right coach for this school more than most, reflected in that link. Ohio St is the same and so is Texas. You just can't plug anybody in. I forget how recent were the Mike Price, Mike Shula years (about the same time we were going through the GRob era).

Tressell is an interesting pick. He has served his Larry Eustachy like stint in purgatory. That's where Butch Jones is now but for a much longer stint, Bruce Pearl is in the Hoops version.

I live in Austin. I can tell you there is no way in hell that Jim Tressel will be the coach at UT.
