    This will not come down to a Texas NIL deal … it will be a part of it, but a small part She’s got real opportunities outside of Texas One Fund that will be much more lucrative

    The Nike vs Adidas decision has always been the hurdle for TT. She’s always been a Nike kid We shall see

    I don't see another year - as of today

    The Moody is already selling out ... in terms of tickets sold. Some empty seats affect concession sales, but not enough to off set a 16-18 mill all in in that type scenario They would have to jack up ticket and concession prices quite a bit to keep hoops in the black. I'm an interested observer
  6. Gerry Hamilton
    The other thing to consider if Texas goes the route of 16-18 mill a year all in... 1. Texas currently makes money on hoops 2. Texas would very likely be in the red in hoops ... unless they jack up ticket and concession prices.
  7. Gerry Hamilton
    100% And Florida is a better hoops job, if we're being honest.

    As someone else pointed out ... I just said Texas has never made that level of investment in hoops. Until they do, I'm in prove it mode. If Texas is willing to go all in at 16-18 mill a year in hoops ... the pool of coaches goes to another level 16-18 mill a year broken down for me: 7-8 for HC 3-4 salary pool for assistants, probable GM, S&C, etc... 5-6 NIL guarantee as part of deal If Texas tries to go that big, it's a mercenary hire that will have all the leverage on Texas in the negotiations.

    Will Wade is working to get any high-major job he can right now. I do not think Texas will be an option for him.
  10. Gerry Hamilton
    Yep. And now have a guy that eventually will get the 6th Final Four ... who knows maybe this year. If they keep him 7-8 more years, they may get a couple of FF's out of him.

    Lon Kruger got Florida going (FF in 1994). He didn't have sustained success, but he showed what it could become. Then UF made a young unicorn hire and won the 2 NC's and played in 3 NC games. So they have been to 5 Final Four's since 1994.
  12. Gerry Hamilton
    I'll be very surprised if Will Wade is the choice.
  13. Gerry Hamilton
    And he’s at a better job too … which will pay big to keep him

    Until they do it … they never have before in hoops When Beard was hired … his salary, assistant pool, NIL (which has escalated since then) was likely around 10 mill a year all in … he wanted the job badly. This next hire will be a mercenary type hire if it’s one of those very big names. They would force Texas’ hand in a way it never had been before IMO It would take 16-18 mill a year all in now to get one of those guys like Oates, Pearl, etc… I would love to see the commitment, but it’s never happened before to that level
  15. Gerry Hamilton
    Oates makes 5 and will make 7 long term is he stays. Has a 10+ mill buyout Thats what I’m getting at … Texas would have to make a guy like that (Oates, Pearl, etc) a 7-8 mill a year coach plus a large salary pool, 5-6 mill a year NIL commitment etc… Texas has never gone to that level in hoops They would have to make a massive investment in hoops to pull that level coach
  16. Gerry Hamilton
    I agree Texas can do it … but the brass will have to make a level of financial commitment they never have in hoops With salary escalation… it will take 6.5-7 mill a year, larger salary pool than ever at Texas, larger NIL commitment in men’s hoops, plus the coach buyout, etc… Plus the RT and staff buyout Thats a level of financial commitment Texas has never gone to in hoops
  17. Gerry Hamilton
    My current college coaching list … at 4.5-5 mill a year salary and 4 mill NIL commitment TJ Otzelberger Brad Brownell Mick Cronin - don’t love the style, but results are there Doug McDermott - tremendous offensive coach Sean Miller ***Guys like: Tommy Lloyd Todd Golden Pat Kelsey Are at better jobs and will all be making 5-6 mill a year in short order with solid NIL backing Grant McCaslin (Tremendous coach) will go to Baylor if Scott Drew is the pick at Indiana
  18. Gerry Hamilton
    You think a coach would turn down 6-7 mill a year with a 5-6 mill NIL commitment, one of the nations top arenas in one of the two future power conferences because Texas fired Chris Beard for hitting a woman? The coaching community knows Rick Barnes stopped recruiting with the same vigor at the end of his time in Austin.
  19. Gerry Hamilton
    Texas can get someone of that caliber … money and financial commitment to program talks a lot Texas would just have to come over the top of whatever the school the coach is currently at with a huge financial commitment But Texas has never made that level of commitment in hoops
  20. Gerry Hamilton
    I actually really like the idea of Royal Ivey … he would just have to have the correct staff around him with zero college recruiting experience. But NBA offensive mind, guys would play hard for him and the job would mean everything to him. But it would require thinking outside the box. The Rockets brass believes he’s likely an NBA head coach somewhere in two years. If he’s on the track … I would likely go that route if I were Ivey.

    If Texas is going to pay in the 4.5-5 mill range with a 4 mill NIL range budget Texas will still have a quality list of candidates But not the dream hot board list
  22. Gerry Hamilton
    A lot of Texas fans will say go hire Nate Oates … 1. I’m sure there will be a feeler 2. Nate Oates may be at a better job long term for him 3. Getting a Nate Oates level coach would be a basketball investment Texas has never made. It would take a 10 million buyout of Oates, plus 7.5-8 mill a year, plus a larger assistant pool that now. Plus a likely 5-6 million commitment in NIL And You have RT and staff’s buyout on top of it. Texas has never made that level investment in hoops. If Texas decided to make that type of investment… then the head coaching pool of candidates looks totally different

    OnTexasFootball can report that members of the Texas staff (Chad Scott) have made contact with Forney (Texas) High 4-star++ RB Javian Osborne. OTF can also report that Texas remains in the mix for the ultra talented in-state running back. And an OV is in play.

    That would be awesome for Jai

    If Texas opens, and hires a coach on the level of a Sean Miller ... he will do well in Austin IMO.
