Title: 2 parter, who goes first, Lame or Mack, and when? Post by: 2Stater on September 08, 2013, 04:01:31 PM I will say Lame goes first. The first day after their last defeat leading to no bowl game. Let's go with Dec. 1.

Title: Re: 2 parter, who goes first, Lame or Mack, and when? Post by: Catch Prothro on September 08, 2013, 06:24:43 PM I think we learn about Mack Brown leaving first.
The "fire Mack Brown" fire has been burning longer at Texas, and they're more serious about their football. They've given him his chance, but the "chairman of the board" approach to coaching is old school; Texas needs someone who actually coaches in charge. Otherwise, why pay him all those millions? They've invested hundred of millions in their facilities, not to mention the flailing contingency of the Longhorn network, so they have more at stake. Yes, he has a national championship, but that was yesterday. I'd be surprised if he lasts the entire season -- the Oklahoma game sits ominously on the horizon. USC is in a unique situation with scholarship limits and a reduced number of players, giving Lame some excuse, plus making it harder to replace him. USC is accustomed to success, but has never really put much effort into achieving it, at least as an institution. They have not invested the money that Texas has. I think Kiffin makes it to the end of the season, then they fire him. Title: Re: 2 parter, who goes first, Lame or Mack, and when? Post by: Chechem on September 08, 2013, 06:32:22 PM As hscoach said, Texas has the inside track for recruiting every kid in that state.
Think what LSU has done over the years by keeping in-state talent. UTx should NEVER want for talent; should always be loaded. Time for a change. :-* Title: Re: 2 parter, who goes first, Lame or Mack, and when?

Southern Cal plays Boston College next at home, if they lose that game I think the fat lady sings. Title: Re: 2 parter, who goes first, Lame or Mack, and when?

One thing I will say though, if Mack looses to Ole Miss the Fat Lady just fell down with her soprano voice. RTR! Title: Re: 2 parter, who goes first, Lame or Mack, and when? Post by: 2Stater on September 08, 2013, 07:28:34 PM Mack's buy-out is going to be larger than Lame's. That's why I think he'll be gone sooner.
Title: Re: 2 parter, who goes first, Lame or Mack, and when? Post by: hscoach on September 08, 2013, 07:38:15 PM I still think Bobby P will be one of the first contacted by one of these programs. Also, how long will Kansas put up with Charlie Weis?

I'd venture there are more Texas fans (with 10-gal hats and $Billion assets) than USCw fans (with berets and $Million assets). And the Texans spend theirs more freely. If CNS made himself available, I'll bet Texas fans would outbid any other fanbase.

Post by: pmull on September 08, 2013, 07:47:16 PM I know Missouri is 2-0 but they have not been impressive wins. I think Gary Pinkel will be lucky to keep his job. Even joining the SEC could not put any excitement in that program. It is time to re-energize that program IMO.

Kiffin is a punk and I'm betting Pat Hayden is already tired of his act. I think Hayden grudgingly will let him last to season's end. Title: Re: 2 parter, who goes first, Lame or Mack, and when?

But he will be back by Sunday. :lol: Title: Re: 2 parter, who goes first, Lame or Mack, and when? Post by: Chechem on September 08, 2013, 08:22:20 PM ... :lol:CNS is going to Texas.

Post by: hscoach on September 08, 2013, 09:46:45 PM According to some of my buddies out here in Tx and they are UT fans, they say there are a couple of guys who will buy him out right now. They were ready to do it last year and maybe even the year before last.
Title: Re: 2 parter, who goes first, Lame or Mack, and when? Post by: Catch Prothro on September 29, 2013, 09:26:57 AM Kiffin, but a lot sooner than anyone expected.
Title: Re: 2 parter, who goes first, Lame or Mack, and when? Post by: Chechem on September 29, 2013, 09:30:56 AM Kiffin, but a lot sooner than anyone expected.

Post by: Marshal Dillon on September 29, 2013, 09:58:59 AM I'm surprised USC fired him in mid-season, that's not their way. I think Haden (AD) is trying to send a message to other coaches that USC is available & this gives coaches time to think about it and let's USC get into coach search mode. Plus, I think it finally dawned on everyone that Kiffin was not a fit for USC and was a poor coach with a way to irritate everyone with his cocky attitude.
