Who gets the Texas job?

Well after Buzz lets Yale beat them tonight, he might get a phone call.

Didn’t happen!

It's kind of a religious cult type college though, as I understand it. Maybe it's like TCU where the religious aspect of it isn't as prominent as it once was. No question a paradise of a campus. Built from tithe money no doubt.

It has ties to the "mainstream" churches of Christ. Think of like David Lipscomb or Freed Hardeman

One last statement on my part. When Cal left, fired, quiet, or what ever happened, we did not see top end coaches jumping to come to the pressure cooker of Lexington. To suggest or to believe Coach Pope was the first and only person Barnhart contacted then I have ocenfront lots next to Rupp that I will sell. Someone thought UCONN and Bama was a job that paid as much as UK and must be a LOT less pressure. Just saying.... Oats, Pearl, Golden, Sampson, or Beard do not have any ties to Lexington that would lead them to leave $5 million salary to double their stress level and if you or any of us die heart fans did not love our Cats, we would not either. I hope we have Pope for 15 more years because it is not easy to convince coaches to jump into the fire. Wait and see what UNC can get next year to jump into their fire. They have only gone in-house with their coach selections but I can't wait to see what they can get from the outside coaching world. It probably wll not be who they would really want.

Add NIL and the Portal to it. Those two things alone throw the added unknown stress to these kind of gigs.

I live in Fort Worth, and as far as I can tell the primary religion at TCU is football. That money has brought much expansion over the last decade.

Heck I'd take this gig. Most conference losses in a row be damned. 😎

I posted last week that the rumor in Nashville was that they were firing Perry and intended to go after Cal.

But there were actually 3 names. Cal, Quinn Snyder and I don’t remember the other.

It ended up making the Austin paper.

You might look that up and see who the 3rd guy is.

Come on dude Arkansas has some bb tradition. Cal after last night has turned the corner at Arkansas he’s going no where. May use it for a bigger contract like every year.
