Shaka turned down the UCLA job, but took ours. I don’t think a similar thing would happen today, we’ve got some image rehabilitation to do imo. Terry/Beard/Shaka all catastrophes for different reasons. This might have been who they wanted all along.
March 23Mar 23 I think it was Sean’s freshman or sophomore year at Pitt and we were all up at the Big East Tournament. Team hotel was the Marriott Marquis in Times Square. My idiot former brother-in-law and I were riding down on the elevator with Sean and Darren Morningstar. They were going to MSG but, neither had any idea of how to get there. So I remember saying that they could just follow us and we would show them the way to MSG. Another time, in a game, Sean was taking the ball out of bounds after a basket and instead of passing it in he just dribbled it in, turnover. However, if all this is true, you now have the assist man for “Send It In Jerome!”. Assuming he has GPS in his University of Texas courtesy car he should find his way to campus.

March 23Mar 23 Popular Post Miller is a massive, massive coaching upgrade from Terry. He’s going to be given the resources in NIL to succeed and we have the Moody Center already. Some of y’all are being way too pessimistic.
March 23Mar 23 I was Team Tommy but this hire fits CDC’s MO and is a clear upgrade on Rodney Terry. At least we will run a fucking offense.

March 23Mar 23 I’m mostly excited about the offense he runs and his eye for guys that know how to shoot the three ball.

March 23Mar 23 48 minutes ago, Mo Horn said: Miller may not be the hot hire, but he a solid coach and he's never had this much NIL and strong AD backing, and that's a winning combination. He had a pretty nice NIL advantage at Arizona back before it was cool. He was beating Duke, Kansas, and Kentucky for guys. I think he's a pretty good coach but falls a little short of slam dunk-y.

People just refuse to accept that timing of everything and that a lot of coaches that were wanted on this board and within this fanbase are already at programs they’ve built so there’s no reason to leave -or- the buyout was too big, which goes back to timing.

So I was looking at McCollum’s story deeper, and he has literally based his entire life within a 5.5 hour radius of Storm Lake, Iowa. He’s been biding his time for one of about 5 or 6 jobs in the western Midwest. Kind of a momma’s boy in the most admirable sense. i hate that he’s going to Iowa, but I respect the hell out of him

No shit. The amount of morons on here is mind bottling. And it shouldn’t be a surprise. If there was an attainable better coach I haven’t seen it. Lloyd vs miller is splitting hairs. I mean I guess I get it if you have morons that really thought we were getting Jay wright or Billy Donovan.

March 23Mar 23 If the money people said no but that buyout money we’d fund would go towards NIL, it’s a better ROI
March 23Mar 23 Popular Post Doing some key-word searching from people whose opinions I trust and it is a relief seeing stuff like this. Having stepped on campus 14 years ago we have never run a modern/fun offense in that time so I'm going to believe. Also, I know people won't believe it but coaches can evolve. Gonna wait until I see what he's able to bring in roster-wise (which will be telling to see where we're at as far as NIL investment) especially given that we very well could have an entirely new roster to put actual expectations on him but it's nice to be actually optimistic.
March 23Mar 23 Popular Post The first thing he must do in his opening press conference is admit it was not 5 seconds in 2011.

Texas can afford that buyout, they're just smart enough to direct that money to a different place, like NIL. If it were modern-day John Wooden with the buyout, the story would be different.
