I see what you're saying but he's the politician that Mack is, but a whole lot better in the X's and O's, his philosophy is absolutely ingenious and it'll work until the NCAA is as good as the NFL (so always)

No more talk of Saban??? I like Diaz as a coach and recruiter but he doesn't seem like the PR type of coach that Mack is.

Hmm guess I haven't seen enough of him on the podium

I love the idea of major... I don't know if it will happen though

it will be a few years before it happens, maybe five. All of the Briles supporters keep forgetting he is only about 5 years younger than Mack. Briles is a good coach, but I don't think he is top shelf. His story will be told in the next 2-3 years wo RG3. Rhodes is good, but not the PR guy Texas has to have. Sark, Manny, Major are all good guesses. Give Harsin a few years and let his offense have some good years and his personality come out. Bottom line is, there will be a ton of great candidates.

We're all in love with Manny right now, and for good reasons. My only hesitation is that he's still a relatively young coach to be taking over a program like Texas. Further, unlike Harsin and Applewhite, Diaz walked in with a pretty full cupboard, and we all know talent tends to make good coaches. Remember who won the Broyles Award in 2005? Not that I ever want to find out what he can do with lesser talent, but I wouldn't mind seeing him with more seasoning before considering him for the head position.

I would be shocked to see Saban get the Texas job. There is too much dirt on that guy.

Mack likes Saban, which could be an indication that there may be more envy than substance behind all the rumors. With 3 national championships in the past 8 years, if Mack were to recommend Saban he would move to the top of UT's list in a heartbeat.

Harbaugh would have been my #1 till he jumped to the show, he's not coming back for awhile.

Manny Diaz doesn't have many skins but neither did DKR when he showed up, we would be wise (since we are gambling with anyone) if he was the leader

Chris Peterson certainly gets an interview but remember, both Kotieng (sp) and Hawkins didn't do so well with the jump to light speed. Again, my point about a gamble

Fitzgerald is a great coach but I'm really glad we didn't go with Gary Barnett

Paul Rhoades, Dan Mullen, Steve Sark. . . all very good coaches

Is Major even 35 yet? Not sure short term, I like making my RBs coach a head coach. 10-15 years from now, another story. Basically if it's Diaz v Major in the next 2-4 years, Diaz.

Granted I don't have the "feel" of assist coaches that Gerry Jeff would have so there might be another "Diaz" type out there to add to the list but Diaz is a devil we know.

OTOH, with Harbaugh in the NFL, I don't see a "can't miss" college coach but whomever comes is filling big shoes. This is assuming guys like Saban or Stoops aren't moving.

PS, no mention of Gary Patterson? Like him much better than Briles.

No to UM, sorry, seems a tad unstable but very successful coach.

Problem with Muschamp is the same with Mark Richt, if they are having success they aren't coming here. If they are on the market, we have to ask why we want them. Though I could see a senerio on both.
