    I don't think there's been a starting level football player from Anderson since Corby Brooks and Jason Reeves.

    Ed Small is at TCU so I guess we will find out if he made the right decision to go with the Horned Frogs rather than baseball with the Horns.  I think he's better at baseball but he is a good football player.

    My point is that CDC benefited greatly from inheriting an athletics department that already had generational coaches when it comes to Patterson and Schlossnagle. He’s a fantastic AD, but he doesn’t have a big time track record hiring national championship coaches in the big sports.

    This is Surly Horns, not Bitter Horns, and brother, you sound really bitter.  There were several coaches that I preferred over Miller, but let it go.  You're being a sourpuss.  But, I have a remedy, something to turn that fussy frown of yours upside down.

    I've seen plenty of people say Miller would get out coached by the likes of Bruce Pearl and Oats. Here's how many times each has been to the S16 or better. 

    Miller: 8 total. 5 at Arizona and 3 at Xavier 

    Pearl: 4 at Tennessee and 2 at Auburn. 

    Oats: 3 at Bama and a 4th if they win again.

     

    Also regarding his lack of championships and F4s at Arizona. There hasn't been a NC won by a school west of Waco Texas since 1997. He'll raise the floor of where the program has been since the late 2000s. 

    Oats was at Buffalo before Bama had the good sense to hire him.  Pearl was at Wisconsin Green Bay or some such prior to low T.  He's also sat out a few seasons due to his transgressions.  His last six years absolutely are not on a par with Oats and Pearl.

    1981 SMU game. #10 Texas playing at (Texas Stadium) #8 SMU. SMU had Dickerson and James in the backfield. Texas won 9-7, holding the Mustangs to 205 yards (70 came on one pass play for the sole Mustangs TD). 
     
    Sims had 11 solo tackles and four assists for 15 total tackles (SMU only had 68 plays, so Sims tackled over 1/5 of them). He had two sacks (McIlhenny went back to pass 23 times, but was only able to attempt 15 passes as he was sacked eight times), and four other tackles for loss. He forced a fumble and recovered a fumble (I can’t remember if it was the same play).

    He got hurt against TCU later that year, but there was a reason he was the number one draft pick. 

    I too, was at this game.  He was a good guy.  I've told this story before, but the UT football players had a couple of intramural basketball teams, and they were unsurprisingly pretty good.  I played for a very good team, but I made a bad mistake trying to take the ball to the hole with Kenneth Sims rushing over to, er... stop me.  He hit me in midair and knocked me a good 20 feet.  Yeah, it hurt.

    The amount of catching the ball/picking up one’s dribble and then taking 2 or 3 steps to get behind the 3 point line or over to the side and then launching a 3… WITHOUT TRAVELING BEING CALLED… is absurd.

    Just pure “I’m going to walk over to where I want to shoot it from just like I did in my driveway growing up.” 

    No one says anything and the refs don’t call it. 

    Double dribble and palming have gone the way of the dinosaurs.

    Has he been fired or not? I am seeing a lot of speculation but has any reputable source confirmed it yet?

    Not yet.  CDC is keeping his powder dry until he's ready to shoot his shot.
