I tell you what, Coach Terry is definitely doing a better job with this team now that they're healthy. Weaver has made a huge difference for this team, imo. We'll see if they can make the tourney, two pretty gutsy wins but if Coach Terry keep's winning and somehow makes a run in the tournament, where we would he have to get to, to keep his job? Another elite 8 run?

I know it's not guarantee that we make the tourney but we've at least done what we needed in the SEC toruney, right? Get at least two wins. 

Needs to win a couple of games in tourney to ensure he has shot to stay. 

Lose in play-in game ... trajectory of program

Win play-in game, lose in round of 64 ... trajectory of program 

Win two ... given himself a chance IMO

Even with a "magical run" the program trajectory and fan attendance at Moody are not in his favor.

If Texas wins two games in the tourney, tough to let a coach go. Would likely be a kick the can down the road for a year scenario. 

But we shall see what happens.

Will Wade - nah. 

Others ... two for sure will be in it on some level.

Apparently there have been Big Cigars who never wanted RT, and there are fans on every website who despise him.  I think a fair assessment of RT is that he is a high floor but low ceiling coach, and there is pressure to find a high ceiling coach. 

What RT will get from a third NCAA appearance is another HC job and a reduced buyout for Texas.  He is a good enough coach to upgrade a lot of programs, given some support.  He is by all accounts a fine person and I wish him well.

If he is asked to remain I hope he is given a bigger NIL purse.  If he is released, I hope his successor is given a bigger NIL purse. 

I would like to see Weaver, Pryor, Codie, Vinson, and Pope come back, regardless.  Adding the right portalers and freshmen to that group could create a team with at least some semblance of togetherness from the gitgo. The "right" portalers would include at least one high quality distributor and one high quality BIG, at an absolute minimum, plus the best five remaining players available to fill the roster.

I'm not sure how this works but didn't CDC have a part in Shaka to Marquette to clear the way for Beard? 

Assuming we perform to season baseline the rest of the way (1 or 2 more games total) , Is this how its gonna shake out again, if the right guy has been identified and agreed?

He needs to let a few assistants go. I think going from Bob to Frank is a huge reason why our half court offense looks so awful. Haith is a good recruiter, but we are seeing why he's never been a successful head coach, he's a bad offensive coach. This team has way too much offensive talent to be this inconsistent.

If Terry somehow makes it back, he's currently 9-3 in the post-season at Texas, he will likely have a decent pool of players returning.

CG - Pope

G/W - Weaver, Presley

F - Pryor, Codie

C - Vinson

That's a pretty decent athletic starting point, though the offense would be abysmal with no true PG and really a lack of shooting across the board.

RT has to let his guys coach. 

Haith is a quality offensive coach IMO
