This post is a little misguided for me.
First off, no program was getting Jay Wright unless your name was the Philadelphia 76ers.
Second, Texas does have the gravitas to pull a pretty big name due to support, NIL, pay, amongst other things; however, as long as Terry was doing well, the situation was continuing to set itself up to where Terry had to be the choice. So I agree with you that for continuity purposes, you had to keep Terry. Where i disagree is Texas’ ability to draw a big name. What is unknown is who Texas could have drawn because Texas kept doing so well. Because we kept doing well after Terry took over, it was less and less likely that we’d go after someone because why would you? Combine that with the fact that Terry is well liked by coaches, recruits, media, and they were all lobbying for him to get the permanent job means there was no reason to let him go, especially after an EE run—our first in 15 years.
So everyone wanting to know “well what elite coach could Texas have gotten?!?!?!” Or for those calling people who don’t want Terry idiotic, you’re just yelling at fucking clouds. It’s well documented on this site that a lot of posters do believe we will be looking for a new coach in 3-4 years, but that doesn’t mean they/we aren’t supportive of Terry and want him to be very, very successful here. Those aren’t mutually exclusive.
Had Texas pulled a 2009-2010 season situation, then yes, I don’t believe Terry would be the HC right now and we would have seen who CDC could have pulled. That’s a moot point now, so onward with RT and he definitely has my support.
