    You need to change your name to Nostradamus since you already seem to know the future. I'm still waiting on someone to tell me who they would've like to see as head coach being that neither Jimbo nor Herman were coming here.

    No idea who I would have hired, but you can bet that if I was AD, I would have scoured the nation for the top prospects and sought guidance from the best football minds in the country to identify the top prospects. Hard for me to imagine Fisher or Herman would have made the top 3.

    Among other things Alleva is tone deaf. You don't fire the winningest coach in LSU history, during the season no less, and fail to make a splashy hire.

    Next, if Fisher and Herman are your top two candidates, you don't get played by them. Fisher demanding 8 million and a 55 million buyout? F*ck off Fisher. And Alleva doesn't find this out until the last week of the year long search??? Herman playing us for Texas not obvious all along? Especially after Kansas, this should have been an expected outcome.

    Stupendously bad search by Joe "I am the search" Alleva. Damn shame.

    And beat OU and Louisville with Houston talent, not SEC talent.

    Any AD worth a fuck with a year to land one of those guys, lands one of those guys.
    I would have had both fighting over it with the kind of money alleva had to play with.

    But we go low budget and pretend we did our best so the stupid fans make excuses and rally behind a milquetoast hire. like always with this administration.

    Spare me the we couldn't find anyone nonsense. You shop at Walmart you get a shitty product. It's that simple. They will never learn. But the fans will deep throat it and swallow accordingly.

    Not deep throating shit. Alleva got his shit pounded in by politics last year, still nutted up and cut Miles loose midseason, made a run at two well regarded candidates we couldn't get, and decided Eaux has done enough to manage the best coordinators money can buy. I'm down.

    Alleva settling for his 3rd choice is OK with you?

    one guy was using us to get a raise from his current team (turned down 6.8 mil.) and one guy was asking for harbaugh/saban money... what would you have this admin do?

    wait weren't you the one that said Texas has no shot next year? If I'm Nostradamus does that make you Negrodamus?
