Not me, I love the fact the Missouri peasants built a proper palace for The King to hold court.

LMAO LMAO

Black smoke coming out of Belmont today. Seems they still haven't found a coach. They have almost certainly set the record for the most money ever offered to a coach that refused to take it. Another day, another shit show for the world to watch in amusement...

LMAO

What an awful, terrible post.

FTFY

Once again, ku football is the worst value in the entire country.

kansas is just a synonym for dumpster fire at this point.

I haven't been following the UT saga at all outside of Mack's decision. Which coaches have denied Texas so far (besides Saban, obviously)?

Texas may be the best job in the country, but there are a lot of issues at the moment.

They operate more like a pro team than a college team with a bunch of huge donors who think they run the place. These donors expect all kinds of access and privileges not afforded to boosters at most other places. Hell...one of them even demanded that Texas commission a statue of himself as a condition of his donation. They did it. Texas has a statue...of a donor...at their football facility.

They also have a serious lack of a QB on the roster. Everyone in Austin seems to think that Texas is a coach away from being a title contender. They aren't. Hell, they aren't even close. You can't compete on the big stage without a QB, and they don't have one. They also lack the personnel to stop a team that lines up and hits them in the mouth. BYU and Ole Miss absolutely manhandled them running the ball straight down their throats over and over and over. Texas was exposed as a soft team with a bunch of players who just assume that the burnt orange is enough to win games.

That said, they are still a potential powerhouse and can be a major force with one of probably 50 coaches out there. Instead of chasing down pie in the sky longshots like Saban and Vince Lombardi, they need to focus on finding the right fit...not just the biggest name so that their money men can feel like swinging dicks at cocktail parties.

Just realized I misread your question. It's mostly speculation, but Gruden, Jim Harbaugh, John Harbaugh, Smart, and Malzahn have all been rumored. I don't know that any have received formal offers, though.

Supposedly, they are getting a lot of pressure to seriously consider a minority and/or someone with experience at a school with high academic standards. That screams David Shaw or James Franklin, IMO.

Why the **** would either Harbaugh even consider Texas? That's crazy talk, isn't it?

That's an even longer shot than Saban. LOL

Who knows? Money talks, and Texas billionaires tend to have high opinions of themselves.

$51.5 million

How does that stand against the other conferences?

The SEC received $52.3 million in payouts from bowls last year and had $37.5 million of revenue excess after paying for institutional expenses. The SEC's bowl payouts totaled $8.7 million more than the next-closest conference, the Big 12.


Obviously that data is a year old but I would guess they would be ahead of the big once again
