March 25, 20232 yr Wow--anybody asking for Terry to make the FF or EE in order to be hired should be looking at the landscape right now and ask if they would've considered any of these coaches. Nothing is guaranteed. I do like Larranaga, but not enough to hire him at Texas. I liked what he did at George Mason, taking them as far as he did, and now with Miami.

March 25, 20232 yr Well at the absolute worst there will only be 4 coaches in the whole country that did better than he did this year.
March 25, 20232 yr I just continue to laugh at that fuck stick shadow_operative and his shitty basketball takes.

March 25, 20232 yr Not sure what happened exactly to cause it but since the last two weeks of conference play the defense has played better than it did under Beard. They suffocated Penn State and Xavier, prolific offenses. Miami presents a whole new set of challenges but as a lover of pressure man D this has been an absolute joy to watch. The intensity is relentless.
March 25, 20232 yr We just fucking molested a dang good Xavier team and didn't get a call to save our lives. Don't care anymore.

They’ve only been there 6 times in school history and one of those appearances got vacated.
March 25, 20232 yr Popular Post Look I'm just a day tripper and not a diehard. There's a point where you look at what he's doing and realize that maybe there's just not a better option out there. The guy not only won the Big 12 but got Texas to the Elite 8 for the first time since 2008. And he did it after the coach got fired midseason. All that turmoil and he overcame it. What is your better option that's going to produce what he's done to this point?
March 25, 20232 yr Proud of the team and proud of all the coaches but most especially Terry. Only coach to basically come into this with the interim tag and didn’t let that bother him at all. Just came in a coaches and got us to the EE. Hell of a damn great job and we should all be proud of Terry and the Team! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
March 25, 20232 yr My internal bar was Elite Eight. I feel as good about RT as I expected I would should that happen. Hire the guy.
March 25, 20232 yr Popular Post Rodney was there for the Final 4 and the other two Elite 8's under Rick Barnes. He coached Kevin Durant and LaMarcus Aldridge. His players love him. He just won a National COY award. We're in the Elite 8 for the first time in 15 years. Everybody's assuming he can't recruit, and I say why not? Why wouldn't every blue chip in Texas be ready to fucking sign right now, to play for this guy, in a Texas jersey, in the beautiful new Moody Center, as we head into the SEC? Give it to him. Announce it tomorrow.

March 25, 20232 yr Terry can't be the second ever interim head coach to win the national title if we make him the permanent head coach now. Wait until after the season is over. He knows he has the job. Besides sitting down and working out contracts and shit takes time, best not to distract him right now. Plenty of time for that in April. Edited March 25, 20232 yr by Valmy77

March 25, 20232 yr I'm sure you guys have covered this already, but it just hit me that the only question remaining now is how many years on the contract, and what price? Maybe RT is so comfortable with this team that he honestly expects to be in the final four and he told CDC he would like to wait until the end? We win it all he gets what, an 8 year or 10 year deal? Is there such a thing? We get to final four and lose he gets a 6 year deal? We lose Sunday and it's a 5 year deal?
March 25, 20232 yr We're in a lot better shape than anyone expected us to be after Beard lost his mind, and that's got to count for something. Hire him for goood.

Once we lose to Colgate or aggy the clamoring for a mediocre coach to take over this program will be silenced. Also, fuck your own face you piece of trash. Taste my greasy, skanky bridge you twat.

Making "announcements" right now is the last thing you want to be doing. Edited March 25, 20232 yr by Wally Pryor

March 25, 20232 yr The job should definitely be his, and most likely behind the scenes he knows that, but let’s focus on the next 3 games and then announce it during the championship post game.

Yeah, while this is probably overthinking it, I’d also wait to announce it. The players seem inspired to play for him to win a contract
March 25, 20232 yr 2 hours ago, TexArcher said: I didn't say that. But the only reason anyone has given for wanting to replace him is, "we don't know if he can actually build a roster himself." Building a roster involves identifying the correct players to recruit. Just because 5 of the top 10 players want to sign with you doesn't mean you sign all 5 if they don't fit your culture (see University of Kentucky). That's the question with Terry. Can he identify the correct players to build a cohesive roster like the one everyone is raving about at the moment. Sure, he played a role in getting guys on campus but how much did he play in identifying the "right guys"? As mentioned in another thread, Keyonte George wanted to sign with UT. Beard passed. He signed with Baylor and most people believe he was a negative for that team. Would Terry have passed on him? That's what people are questioning.
March 25, 20232 yr 6 hours ago, TexArcher said: I didn't say that. But the only reason anyone has given for wanting to replace him is, "we don't know if he can actually build a roster himself." Definitely not the only reason. Most held his time at Fresno and utep against him. Some questioned if he would be able to build a roster or instill a culture. There’s also been “we’ve played crappy teams in tournament.” Hoping nobody went the not organized route. they won’t say it now but they’d rather give credit to beard than Rodney. I think elite 8 did it.

March 25, 20232 yr You guys thinking Terry’s records as a HC at other schools plays a factor in the decision must not have noticed that football coach we hired a couple years ago. That didn’t scare out admin off! Edited March 25, 20232 yr by Horn Dogg
March 25, 20232 yr I gotta admit initially I thought hed fail. I kept waiting for it actually.But RT has earned it. Everyone loves the guy. Hes genuine and cares about his players and this university. You see him hug his old player from xavier postgame? Damn. Hes grown on me.Hes earned everything hes got coming to him. Its a done deal. Only question is for how much $ and how long is the contract?
