Who gets the Texas job?
- Thread starter SkyPrince1
- Start date
Calipari would legitimately be a good fit, given the recruiting potential there. If they don’t go for Calipari, I think they are nuts.
A coach with decades of experience.
A coach with SEC experience.
A coach born and raised in Texas.
A relentless recruiter.
That's right, Billy Clyde Gillespie will bring Texas back to their glory days!

Only downside is it's a football school but if you're someone like Pearl or Oats who can drum up excitement the skies the limit.
Oates wouldn't leave Bama for Kentucky but he would leave Bama for Texas?
Agreed. Will never happen.
Beard seems like a possibility with his state ties and there's Sean Miller chatter. Forgot Beard was at Texas when he got in trouble. Probably rules him out LOL.

Doubt Beard is going back to Texas.
Bungalow Bill, surely you know why they can’t hire Beard? Sean Miller I could see
Did Texas already fire Gus Fring?
Was Oates even seriously considered? I thought he was blacklisted during the coaching search.
Todd Golden is only 39 years old and from Phoenix.
His wife, Megan York, is from San Antonio. She played volleyball at St Mary's in California.
They are the parents of two (2) young boys.
They might want to move closer to home and grandparents.
Plus, he might want to establish his own legacy at Texas and lead them to a national championship.
As of the end of the 2023–24 season, Texas ranks tied for fourth among all Division I men's basketball programs for total NCAA Tournament games won without having won the national championship (40), tied with Kansas State and Notre Dame (40 each), and trailing Oklahoma (43), Illinois (45), and Purdue (49).
Just a thought ...

I'll happily take the job. I never played basketball, but I have a winning disposition and a desire to get paid a few million dollars over the span of three years.
Glad Wade took NC State.
He would be a beast at Texas.
He would be a beast at Texas.
I think that was exactly what Rodney Terry said in his interview
Texas Tech Coach Grant McCasland is one I wouldn't be surprised here.
Call me crazy but: Not sure I'd leave TTU currently if I were him.
Love that guy as a coach as you know.
Would someone like Sean Miller get a look? He was at Arizona, and had the NCAA issues there. Recruited very well, but never really had big time NCAAT success. But he's served his time in 'purgatory' at Xavier. Would another major D1 school give him a 2nd chance?
I would have fired him for his glasses alone!
Another name that absolutely makes sense. Big brand name, big recruiter. Offensive mind. Good choice
I would think he us on a short list. I think they look at the NBA closely. Snyder or Billy D. I don't know if they would jump to Austin.
Only three (3) years older than Mark Pope at 56, he has a lifetime winning percentage of 71.4% and is probably ready for a move ... after two (2) stints at Xavier.

How about Jai Lucas reneges on Miami and then takes the Texas job?
You only go to Lucas if you strike out on bigger brand names I think. He would do well there being a Texas guy with recruiting ties
Yeah if you can get them to turn loose of some of the football money for basketball.
They're definitely top 5 in athletic department revenue but they(UT) get to decide the split.
No. What am I missing? I know about his legal troubles at Tech but that hasn't stopped him from being mentioned for about every P5 job opening including here with many posters wanting him at UK. Now I get it. I forgot he was at Texas when he got in trouble. Senior moment I guess.

I posted last week that the rumor in Nashville was that they were firing Perry and intended to go after Cal.
But there were actually 3 names. Cal, Quinn Snyder and I don’t remember the other.
It ended up making the Austin paper.
You might look that up and see who the 3rd guy is.
