[QUOTE="wbgvwbgv, post: 129351477, member: 1417056"] SI . . . . . . . Texas officials interviewed Luck, then the athletic director at [URL='http://www.si.com/college-football/team/west-virginia-mountaineers']West Virginia[/URL], in 2013. Luck, who graduated from law school at Texas, badly wanted the job and was among the large chorus stunned by Patterson’s hiring. Luck moved on to work at the NCAA in 2014, but he could likely be lured back to Austin. After all, the choice between one of college sports’ strongest brands (Texas) as opposed to its weakest (the NCAA) isn’t much of a choice. The Luck family perfectly crystalizes this current era of Texas incompetence. Former Longhorns football coach Mack Brown passed on offering a scholarship to Oliver’s son Andrew in 2008, a decision that potentially set the football program back at least five years. (Brown went all-in on ’09 quarterback Garrett Gilbert, who flopped in Austin. Texas hasn’t started a competent quarterback since Colt McCoy left town after the 2009 season). The baffling part of overlooking Oliver Luck was that the duality of his résumé from the athletics and business sector fit just what Texas needed. Luck brought MLS’s Dynamo to Houston and secured public financing to build BBVA Compass Stadium. As the CEO of the Houston Sports Authority, Luck also played a major role in the completion of the Texans’ NRG Stadium and the building of the Rockets’ Toyota Center. He brings an ability to relate to, connect with and lead people, which Patterson sorely lacked. . . . . . . . .
