Texas has had money the last decade and still sucked

Why is the big focus on Texas coming in, at least as far as football goes, they are small potatoes. OU has won the big 12 11 times and Texas 3, with Nebraska following at 2.

It isn’t playing them on the field - it’s inviting them into your house.

Well if playing them on the field isn’t a problem I really don’t see why it matters. They can do whatever hey want, as long as their product on the field is shite who cares. OU has dominated them, despite the Big 12 placating them in ways the SEC never would.

Texas money in the SEC will mean even less than it did in the Big 12. You have at least 6 other programs that will spend as much money as Texas and they aren't known for being toxic employers.

They really haven’t had money the last decade poor management of resources has put them in a tight spot which is the only reason they are following Oklahoma and begging for entrance to the SEC

Bottom line: Head Coaching hires.
Money doesn’t always translate to good decisions.
OU has made out far better with Lincoln Riley than did UTex on Charlie Strong and Tom Hetman.
Jury’s obviously out on Sarkisian.

I think people focus too much on our short comings without analyzing how a blue blood program in the state of Texas only won 10 games once in 9 years. To summarize it, I would basically say Texas had an alignment issue. It all started with Mack’s loss to Saban in 2010. He had an idiotic reactionary response to his QB being injured in a national title game. He tried to implement a pro style offense in a state where highschool ball is 95% spread/air raid systems. We did not have the personnel to do it. Mack’s recruiting strategy wasn’t consistent to the style of play he wanted to implement either. It was obviously going to fail, especially playing in a league that can bury you on the scoreboard every week. Our AD steps down. We bring in some bum who try’s to monetize every aspect of our athletic program, i think students were paying full price admission. He hires Charlie Strong, his philosophies were destined to fail in the Big12 as well. Now you’re 5 years removed from a national title but you’re desperate to remove yourself from mediocrity. Charlie & The AD are fired, we have an interim AD in place and we rush a Tom Herman hire to intercept LSU. Tom recruits well but his initial hires were terrible and his teams consistently play down to competition. It was basically a series of bad leadership decisions from the coaching level up to the administration.

A&M had just as much money and didn't show much hardware for it.
Texas was middle of the pack in the Big12 behind much smaller budget schools - like 30%-50% less
Money helps but it doesn't mean success.

So what’s the problem? OU has had zero problem running over them, and in a conference that placated them way more than the SEC would. Will LSU, Bama, Georgia, Florida have a problem but OU doesn’t? How does that make sense?

Yes but they've had a bad run of coaches. Having Sark should change that since he was the mastermind of the 2020 Bama team. /s

We now have one of the best ADs in the country, if not the best. Our athletic department is a machine right now. We have a dynamic coaching staff that I believe will be effective. We have a top 10 roster in the country. Only the roster part has been true the past decade, maybe, we also had a big issue with misevaluation late in the Mack Era & in The Charlie Era.

And also had at least competent coaching. Stong and Herman win at an LSU or a Florida. Programs that really have an advantageous set up. Miles and Orgeron struggle at Texas or A&M.

Not that simple. Strong came in with a ball control, good defense approach. His OC hire was awful. He might have got away with it in the mid 2010 SEC, but he struggled to adjust when Big12 teams would jump out with lead on us.

At LSU strong would've had a bigger staff budget than he received at Texas if we're being all the way honest.

He was given a staff budget and decided to stick with his Louisville buddies.
