Aside from the absolute certainty that Texas will not win another game this year -- or maybe if they get really lucky end up beating Oklahoma State at home on Saturday -- the other thing I love about this forum is that these are the number of 20-win seasons Texas coaches have had dating back 50 years:
Abe Lemons: 2 in six seasons (26, 21)
Bob Weltlich: 0 in six seasons (closest was 19-14 in '85-'86)
Tom Penders: 7 in 10 seasons (26, 25, 24, 23, 23, 23, 21)
Rick Barnes: 15 in 17 seasons (31, 30, 28, 26, 25, 25, 25, 24, 24, 24, 23, 22, 20, 20, 20)
Shaka Smart: 2 in six seasons (21, 20)
Chris Beard: 1.5 in 1.5 seasons (22)
Rodney Terry: 0.5 in one season; currently 17-10 with at least five games to go (29 total wins including Beard's 7-1 start) TOTAL: 28 in 47 seasons
So suddenly we're absolutely confident that we should be tossing a coach out the door -- before the end of his first full season and in the wake of an Elite Eight run?
I must have missed where Texas became Kansas, North Carolina or Duke and is entitled to reach the Sweet 16 more years than they don't.
