If he wasn’t a former Texas player, he wouldn’t be mentioned at all. The list Jordan Allen said with the Iowa St coach, Snyder or Will Wade would be good. Quote

He may be a great coach but damn it seems like a risk for a current program spiraling out of control. See last years OU football coaching staff as an example. Venables, Littrell, JJF and Murray. How’d that work out for them? Give me someone proven. Texas fans don’t need an NBA style to show up to Moody. Texas fans rally behind winners. Look at our WBB games. 1 1 Quote

Took over for a team who went 0-18 in conference and immediately had ISU in the tourney. He’ll have them in it 4 years in a row now with two sweet 16’s. It’s an unpopular pick on this board but I’d be fired up for Musselman. Yes he had a shitty last year at Arky but had two elite 8’s and one sweet 16 the rest of the time. Will Wade The closet “unproven” coach I’d be fired up for is McCollum. I only say unproven because it’s one year in D1 basketball. But he’s done a hell of a job in year one at Drake and has obviously won a bunch at the D2 level. Quote

I'm cool with your list but now it's a matter of whether any of them would be interested, compared to Royal. Wade apparently would but there's a question if Texas would be interested in him. There's a real chance that Ivey would be the last man standing among that group. 1 1 Quote

Yeah it’ll all depend on what Texas is willing to pay. Bobby said on Coffee and Football that if the “right guy” was there that the money would be there. I’m not sure what that number is. I would definitely think $5mil but the “right guy” might not move unless it’s closer to $7 or $8 mil. Otz and Muss both make around $4mil. Ben McCollum, however, is currently making $275k. Quote

McCollum would be taking a massive leap to the SEC. We are in win now mode. He brought a lot of his D2 guys with him and maxes out their minutes. He’s proven he can win at each stop. Is it worth taking a risk after taking a risk(Terry)? Does he know how to pick the right guys in the portal and maximize their potential? No because he hasn’t had to do it at the SEC level. So it’s our hope that he can. I want the guy that has shown he can do it. That’s where we get into just how much money Texas will spend. 2 Quote

TJ has wanted Ivey at Texas for years. Quote

TJ has wanted Ivey at Texas for years. Yeah they have a relationship because they were on the final four team. Iveys name comes up because he played at the school, played ten years in the NBA and has been a successful assistant coach. The likelihood that he gets a NBA coaching offer is very real. TJ helps but he has his own resume. And if they are taking TJs recommendations, I am also quite sure Coach Barnes is part of those conversations. And he would also bring up Royal. What he did with the Sudan team is also widely known. Royal has put the work in. He hasn’t on the collegiate level which is the concern. 1 Quote
David Edwards Posted Monday at 11:42 AM Posted Monday at 11:42 AM U T can do anything it sets its mind on... however, I think we need to hire the young up and coming coach from Division 2 or Historic Black College ranks. Someone who can spot and develop talent that others over look. We need someone with vision AND character. In other words... a winner. Quote
