Genuinely curious.

ETA - retracted Saban/LSU parallel.

Wouldn't care really. Hopefully we wouldn't have to play them.

If that happened, A&M, Oklahoma and Arkansas would start getting the best Texas prospects.

Eta: LSU also

What are they going to hire him as?

His future is more likely to be in the NFL before college at this point.

First off: What is he getting hired for? Head coach? Hah.

Second: Didn't Texas just get done paying $400k to settle some sexual harassment claims? Not sure they want to invite that type of stuff back into their athletic department just yet.

I would congratulate them on hiring a quality OC and move on.

Exactly. Petrino left on his volition for the NFL, for two years, didn't work out, so he stepped backed down. The difference is the Saban situation has nothing in common with this. Outside of that...

As long as he isn't hired by someone in the SEC, I won't really care. He is going to win wherever he goes so it would be crushing to see him do it against us.

It wouldn't upset me as much as him going to UTenn. That would be crappier because we'd have to be constantly reminded.

But if he went to UT, I have no doubt in my mind they'd be a much, much better program than what Mack Brown's trotting out there. What Petrino did at Arkansas was no small feat and we have nowhere near the advantages UT has in terms of recruits.

I don't think his wife would let him put in the hours necessary. I was really surprised they are still together.

Now, if he were single -
