  • The absolute simping for a guy who beat his girlfriend and got himself fired for being an asshole is pathetic. There should be more to life than your sports fandom 

  • that's an attitude that would make sense to me if i went to tech

    I don't completely understand the poo pooing of this hire. Maybe expectations were too high regarding who Texas was going to be able to bring in? Sometimes there's a candidate that's such a perfect fi

Given the responses it’s apropos.

Just like you not responding to me.

the day that kentucky is morally above hiring chris beard is the day kentucky stops being kentucky. 

I don't have an issue if Beard is hired, just don't think the AD will.   Cal is there because others got involved and the one driving force behind that is no longer alive.

nice try. I am talking about posts on several different topics that you never responded to other than an emoji.

i don't recall ever responding to you with an emoji, and i have zero clue what you're talking about. well, other than your usual inane rambling.

also, there's only so many ways/times one can respond to, "i played basketball 70 years ago therefore i know everything and all of you are stupid."

All you do is respond with an emoji because that's all you're capable of doing and I am several years younger than your dad.

Have to at least make an attempt to hire Jay Wright...  right???  😋

I mean, there's the home run right there. Augie was 58 when he took the job. Jay Wright would be 61. I don't know how long golden handcuffs would tie him to the job, but I wouldn't care.

There are certain names that feel like a hail mary that you have to at least give your best shot towards. Both Wright and Donovan fit that category for me. I don't consider either of them realistic options, but they've both been multiple title winners not currently married to a collegiate job. 

It mostly feels like a forlorn hope. My most realistic expectation right now is Tommy Lloyd. As a fan I'd love to have the opportunity to roll the dice with him as the head coach. Not sure if he leaves Arizona, but I've been told we're ready right now to pay $6m per year for the right person. That's a lot of cheese. That's before we even enter negotiations with someone and find out it's going to take more cheddar. But a lot of the alternatives either have huge buyouts, or like Musselman, deep pocketed backers with a program and fanbase who are more intense about winning at basketball than Texas is.  

But Jay Wright would be the dream. 

 

i was convinced that we would not be able to get beard- convinced. and then we got him. if cdc gets lightning to strike twice then just name the university after him. 

min all seriousness though, the fact that cdc actually went for and got beard means i have supreme faith in cdc to identify and hire the absolute best possible candidate. it's now just a matter of who that is, and what cdc can do to persuade the top flight guys to stop what they're doing and come here for the next 5+ years.

If I'm not mistaken, Mattingly's agent was Jim Krivacs.

This is correct, those Indiana boys stick together.  Of course, they both live in Florida now.

I feel like we’re gonna end up keeping terry. Hope I’m wrong.

Tech in Lubbock went a long way towards that not happening.

I think we will go 3-2 (losses to Baylor and TCU) or 2-3 (losses to TCU, Baylor and KU) in the remaining 5 games and end up 2nd or 3rd in the conference.

I think this is just a wish amongst fans. 

Well, it quite literally put a conference championship in much more jeopardy, so no, it's not "a wish".

Was a conference championship the only requirement for terry to get the perm position? I’m not aware of that.

Are you just being argumentative for the hell of it?

No, I didn't put "conference championship is a must" on my memo to CDC and Hartzell.  I'm pretty sure it would make passing RT over more difficult should we win the conference, though.

I'm sure someone's already mentioned Cristóbal Barba? Coached briefly at UT Monterrey. Ran into some trouble with the federales down there ... rumor is it's all cleared up and he's available now. Órale.

@shadow_operative will also do free Popeyes chicken scrips for the first 500 students in the Corral. 
 

Free courvoisier for those with court side seats.

The students throw Cheetos on the court whenever Texas breaks 100 points.

Unless we lose out Terry is our coach next season. Sorry guys.

Is this like Dr. Derka writing prescriptions for fried chicken?

I'd like to hear more about the pink sauce fountain.
