Case Keenum & RG3 would contest that notion.IMHO, that would be a disaster. Bringing an unconventional coach into a tradition rich school is a recipe for disaster. Those things that appear quaint and unorthodox now, will seem reckless and unserious at a 'Traditional' school. Traditional powerhouse programs like safr Traditional coaches. They look at things like the Oregon Offense or not having a play book as a 'gimmick' and it will be nearly impossible for a coach like that to break into the blue bloods money circle.
The word on the street in Austin is that if a deal can't be sealed to bring Satan, er , Saban to Texas then Art is the next head coach of the Longhorns.
