I didn't even know I was in any kind of hierarchy. Nice!

I was eyeing you for Chairman of the Flying Horde......but not sure now.

[thepostman]

I expect that the honorable BJWilliams is at the top of any flamefans hierarchy. I expect a complete chart by the end of the day.

BJ is not part of I really thought I saw Air Marshall in your future.

[Purple Haize]

For such a BIG job I certainly don't hear a lot of interest being expressed in the position. I guess you could say that the fact that so many schools are giving raises and extensions is in reaction to the opening, but those happen every year. Theoretically money isn't an object, but there at least needs to be a DESIRE to coach there as well. I hear more ridicule about the 8 person committee than I hear about coaches interested. There are more coaches saying they are NOT interested than rumors about who is interested. I have a feeling this is going to be a mess in Austin
Having said that I think Vandy will be looking for a new coach soon

[thepostman]

don't worry Sly will explain to you how wrong you are and how amazing the Texas job is and how the rest of the country is just so jealous of the entire state of Texas. We will all roll our eyes and move on.

I spent some time in Austin for work a few years back and while it was a nice place to visit for good brisket, live music, alamo draft house, etc. I would never want to live there. It just seemed like a boring place to live unless you are young and can enjoy the nightlife every night. The whole area itself was just ugly. :-\

Sly, that sounds like a personal attack. Is that BAN worthy?

[Sly Fox]

I don't run the show anymore. But I admit the thought did cross my mind. I am going on the assumption that there was a momentarily lack of judgement.

[Yacht Rock]

LOL. Hey, in the end, it's just preference. Obviously there are folks who love the area and Texas in general. Just not for me from what I have seen and if I were a head coach seeking out quality of life, it wouldn't be in my top choices of places to live.

[Sly Fox]

Unless you are looking for nearby snow sports or a beach, I would have a tough time finding anything missing from Austin. But that's just me.

[Yacht Rock]

In my time in the area there weren't enough trees. I like trees and mountains and the ocean so, yeah, that's why it's not for me.

[Sly Fox]

Are you sure you weren't in Boston instead of Austin? Austin is one of the greenest cities in America. The only place where there aren't trees everywhere are in some of the newer suburbs where they clear cut to stuff a zillion homes on small ranches.

Otherwise it sounds like you'd love Anchorage.

[flamesfilmguy]

well color me surprised. Briles turned down the job at texas.

[BJWilliams]

And apparently so did Jim Mora Jr:

I thought this was supposed to be the best gig in all of college football, if not the best job in the whole wide world? I guess that's what I get for drinking the orange Kool-Aid when I thought no one could turn this position down if offered.

Danny Rocco worked 3 years years at UT as an assistant coach (1994-1997). I wonder if he's waiting by his phone in Richmond.

hmmm interesting and not at all shocking but some people can not separate themselves from their biases, right sly?

At the rate candidates are distancing themselves it may come down to that.

[Sly Fox]

There may be reasons that coaches are publicly stepping away.

Like...say...oh I dunno......they don't want the job?

ahh the infamous vague news bit from sly. I was going to say it never gets old but...

[SuperJon]

It got old five years ago?

[Purple Haize]

Doug Williams name has been conspicuously absent from the discussion. He's available

Where are you getting this info!!!???

[Sly Fox]

No, Saban had his chance back before his coaching was exposed in back-to-back games. Now he is stuck in Tuscaloosa surrounded by Bama Fan.
