Texas is hunting for a coach

[Ficklone02]

Laughing out loud at the people thinking a coach would leave LSU, Alabama, or Florida for Texas... WHY???

Rhoads would absolutely take the Texas job, especially if he was the first guy they went after. Every coach in America wants to be THE BEST coach in America. Tough to do that without multiple National Championships...

I agree with alot of this, but I just don't see him makin a move within the conference. Seems like a major no-no.

I think Texas should hire Chizik. <inserts evil laugh>

[CyJack13]

There hasn't been obvious improvement in this program? Take off your Hawkeye glasses. Chip Kelly isn't going to UT. He has it made in Oregon and Knight will match whatever he wants to be there. Peterson would come before Rhoads. I'm not saying he is the first choice but I think it would be a hire that can be justified. It's nothing like Chizik.

7-5-6-??

That's Rhoads year by year win totals, to an outsider, no there hasn't been obvious improvement.

[Boxerdaddy]

I'm not saying he wouldn't jump if offered....as I don't know him personally and yadda yadda...
However, he did take less of a salary to make sure we got the new football facility done and was more interested in improving our facilities than making more money. To me this means he is looking to build something special. I just hope (selfishly) he stays for the long haul.

[CyJack13]

Why? Because it's the highest paid job in all of college football! Nick Saban has said that there are only TWO jobs he'd consider leaving Alabama for: University of Texas and the Dallas Cowboys. Mack Brown gets paid more money than Nick Saban!

Got a link? I highly doubt Saban ever said that.

If it was last year, I would have guessed Art Briles would be the next coach at Texas.

It sounds like Mean Eugene will be looking for a job.

Heard this discussed on sports radio this week after their loss to ISU. Briles should have bolted last year with RGIII. He could have been a frontrunner at Arkansas or Texas next year if they kept it together, but he is now is looking at going from 6-3 to 1-8 in the Big 12.

Like the Chiz and Cam, Briles seems to have been a product of RGIII.

You forgot the 3 and the 2. I guess if you're in a position where you are selecting coaches and you can't see there has been dramatic improvement in the ISU program, your own program is probably doomed anyway.

Aaaaarrrrgghhh! One of the guys that works for me is a UT grad and was JUST in my office talking about this same thing! I said, "Rhoads won't leave ISU". He said, "Do you understand how much money the UT job is worth? Rhoads would go in a heart beat, and we want him. Can you imagine what he'd do with UT-type talent?" To which I said, "**** you! Get out of my office!"

I AM A HUGE PAUL FAN. I WILL GUARANTEE YOU...HE STAYS. THIS IS HEAVEN FOR HIM!

You answered your own question?

Any outsider who follows Big 12 football closely would disagree with this.

I'm Ron Bergundy?

[UNIGuy4Cy]

Maybe I am wrong but as long we keep setting attendance records, improving facilities, win consistently, I see Rhoads going no where. And Texas is in conference, no way he leaves for another Big 12 school.

[CykoAGR]

Muschamp...

So why the hell would you leave Florida for UT?

I know he coached there but Florida is just as good of a job as Texas or at least in the ball park.

Only advantage that UT has is that while the Big12 is tough its not the SEC, however if you can win the SEC you are by default an automatic in to the NC game

You can do that every bit as easily at Florida, Alabama, or LSU as you can Texas... You can't do that at ISU

I was just throwing out high profile coaches. Texas will go after that type of guy. And pay him 5/year.
