So when do the "Harbaugh done deal to Texas" rumors start?

Right before the "Texas is so big and rich that they have found a way to bring Bear Bryant back to life and make him their next coach" rumors start.

Hopefully Chip Brown isn't a member.

 

[RobToxin]

Chip Brown's not a member. He doesn't work for ESPN.....

They were already discussing it on espn yesterday afternoon, so I guess the answer is before this thread was made.

Edit: did I miss read the thread title or did you change it?

Around the 3:10 mark.

I'm hearing it's already a done deal........

 

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

Let's be honest, Brown is staying at Texas. He's their Lloyd Carr.

What you guys missed the Harbaugh brothers wrestling over the position thread? It was in the last week or so.

TEXAS is important.


These threads keep popping up. The PTI guys keep discussing it. ESPN leads with it.


Every freaking sports radio guy has his opinion.


It is like TIM TEBOW. You can make fun of the coverage all you want, but these are topics that bring in chatter.


There will be at least 100,000 rumors about Texas each day for the next month.


There is a reason TEXAS is the #1 brand and sells so much merchandise.


It draws interest...good...bad... or indifferent....

It'll show that Texas can't have whoever they want.

Or just maybe it will show that Texas is the most delusional fan base who thinks that money can buy whatever it wants.

Trolling. Name the Longhorn posters on this board who wanted Saban. IIRC only one wanted Saban.

The power that is the Longhorn Nation helped give raises to at least 3 coaches this season.

Texas does seem to be the Tim Tebow of CFB, I will say that.

Congrats on that!! The power that is Trojan Nation got Petersen to finally leave Boise!!

... and USC has created at least 4 new 2014 HC's. Sark., Petersen, Harsin and the new Arky State coach.
Sumlin probably got a raise because of USC.

It has nothing to do with a delusional fanbase.
Do you really think all the national guys like Colin Cowherd, PTI, Jim Rome, and countless others simply are catering to a niche fanbase of delusional message board guys?

No, Texas purposely built a broad stretch of love and hate that reaches even casual fans.
It might not be the best program, BUT it certainly creates discussion.

Even abject hatred, derision, and mockery is $till conver$ation and expo$ure.
Heck, Poor Aggie is learning that with Johnny Football.....

That moves the dial. That makes the brand valuable. That puts it front and center.
It is better to be hated and induce criticism than be completely invisible.

It gets repetitive and saturated no doubt, sometimes you want it to go away....
But, this is how TEXAS decided it would generate than mountains of cash. It works for them.

Darth Vader sold a lot more T-shirts than Luke Skywalker ever did.

Not all conversation about a program is good conversation. There was lots of conversation about USC when Lane Kiffin was our coach.

Pretty sure most Trojans would have preferred that there wasn't that much conversation.
