  1. It's a tough coaching job, but there are others that have their own challenges. Imagine taking over State Penn after the Sandusky thing. Your question, though, demonstrates one of the challenges of coaching at Texas. We're convinced that we're the ultimate in whatever it is we're talking about. Expectations are too high on an annual basis, and BMDs interfere. The spotlight is harsh. On the flip side, money's not a problem. Recruiting a kid to Austin has to be easier than recruiting them to Little Rock or Stillwater. Texas will get the benefit of the doubt in rankings over TCU, for example. If there's one thing that, IMHO, is the toughest thing about coaching at Texas, it's that the program has become more of a reality TV show than a football team. Sometimes it seems like football is just icing on the cake of the "game day experience." If Herman, or whoever, is going to make the team successful, they're going to have to isolate the players from the carnival atmosphere that has taken over pretty much since Colt got knocked out of the championship game.
  2. That's one long winded SOB. Started to write more, but that about covers it.
  3. Tom loved the Longhorn. He wanted to play with the Longhorn. But he squeezed it too hard and killed it.
  4. His directorial debut with "Ordinary People" was impressive. He was also great as the voice of the Hudson Hornet.
  5. Barry got fired cause one of his players shot another one and a drug dealing ring running out of the football dorm got busted by cops. These were unrelated events that happened on the same weekend. When Barry was coaching, a girl I knew graduated UT and went to grad school in Oklahoma. She said one of the first things she was told when she hit campus was "NEVER let a guy talk you into going into the athletic dorm for ANY reason."
  6. He hasn't really gone incognito until he threatens to shoot up a funeral home.
  7. NCAA should allow a no strings transfer policy if a coach is fired, but not if he leaves to take another job. Agree, this could blow up big time.
