    I don't think they can afford to fire him and I don't think they can attract a good coach right now.

    The broader question is, do you fire the worse coach even if he beat the new coach? CDC didn't hire Miller after the EE. He waited two years and hired him.

    If you know you're right, you make the move and take the heat. If you are wrong, you may get fired.

    I had no idea that it was a 6A school.

    Unbundling was going to happen.

    Placekickers are expendable but they're also expected to be perfect. He'll get another chance.

    Working on 9 years with no new reports. If the idea was to stop doing bad stuff, it seems like he did that. Not saying Tucker is signing next week or anything, but he probably will find a new team at some point.

    Bowen might have been asking for less than what players get now. Maybe.

    Hugs for all! Amazing story, so glad it’s a happy one.

    The mistake about the SEC championship result tells you that all AI results must be reviewed carefully. But I think it's a good representation.

    Relatively few make money. Most of D-I loses money. It’s marketing for the schools, so they look at it as an operating expense.

    Iowa State should have been lobbying for collecting bargaining. That would have given them a chance. As it is, the SEC and Big Ten will choke them out. To a certain extent, we’re headed toward a sorting out back to the way things were in the ‘60s, when many of the mid- and low majors now in D-I basketball played in the NAIA. But the football change is what matters.
  13. BobInHouston
    Not sure about that. Thinking that basketball will include more schools.

    Most people -- you, me, anyone -- would take that bag and not look back. If he has a Stanford degree and the smarts to go with it, he'll be fine. Back before the NCAA realized how bad it made them look, it released the average SAT scores for each school's signees in football and basketball. Stanford was at the top of the list, ahead of all the schools with academic reputations.

    Would that make you happy?

    He's also probably not interested in having his program have to count pennies to balance that Jimbo buyout.

    But they could start a brawl. No, wait, that was a Chris Mack joint.

    2002-2011 was the best decade of Texas basketball by a mile.

    Barnes couldn't recruit in Texas as he once had.

    This is the problem. A money-whip (TM) only works when someone is willing to be whipped. If you have a pretty good-sized bank account by your own standards and don't want to lose the biggest job you might get in two years... you stay where you are.

    For those wondering: I'll believe it when I see it.
  22. BobInHouston
    Acknowledging this will require ability to observe.

    I dunno about preferring DeVries to Chris Beard, if that was a thing.
  24. BobInHouston
    I don't think he was, but as I have explained to people for years, the hard thing is not to talk about his team when he is out of the room, but to explain to him when he gets back in the room that his team is OUT and this is WHY it's out. I am not sure that a team under consideration that has had a rep on the committee has ever been left out. I'm sure it has happened but it is rare. First thing I thought of when I saw that they were in. And they were the last team in. The vice chair said UNC would have been out if Memphis had lost, but I wonder.

    That was the Terry strategy.
