Texas coaching search

Drrrrrrrr! Pete Carroll is going to Austin. Quoted as saying "who cares about the superbowl, Texas is a job I cant pass up...the beautiful state of Texas. I love dirt and tumbleweeds. My wife loves to garden..."

Tyrone Willingham spotted at Austin Country Club.

Lame dude! Willingham jokes are do passé

Agree. Willingham is the equivalent of a defeated country retaining the military contractors who helped advise in the losing effort.

I heard from my source that Joe Avezzano is a real contender and probably a front runner for the job. He has a lot of respect from the booster down there and a immaculate coaching record. Remember who poasted this breaking news.

Texas doesn't want anything to do with Briles, they believe themselves too good for a hire like that.

Mike McQueary.

Not the Texas fans I hear from. They think Briles is a perfect fit. A Texan who can recruit and win in Texas.

Thanks Sportsboner.

Now ... from someone on the scene.

I work with Baylor alum ... a couple of former players. Briles doesn't leave Baylor. Some of his assistance coaches have been with him since he coached high school ball. He knows they wouldn't make the cut at a big time school like Texas ... and he would either not be able to bring or would have to fire at some point.

He is a lifer at Baylor.

**Of course money talks ...

Never said Briles would leave, just saying that contrary to what was said earlier, many UT fans see Briles as a great fit. They too don't think they'll get the small town guy from Rick Perry County without restraining some of their jock sniffing big cigar boosters, which will never happen. They build statues and name stadium entrances after these folks. Briles just received a Brinks truck from Baylor, so $ can't be a pressing issue for him.

DITKA TO TEXAS
