Texas gets another coach a raise

[Texas Jefe]

oh heck yeah.

So now the conversation in here has turned to JJ who is pushing if not actually 70 years old. Didnt Texas just get rid of a coach who is 62? Are they not in the shopping for a long term answer to this problem? Yes JJ would get the recruits and he might even do well on the field if the game hasnt passed him by in terms of x's and o's, but lets be real here and seek a real, long term replacement for Mack and not a name.

Dont be surprised if the coaching search takes a strange turn due to the manner in which this has all been handled. At this point they need to be looking for a good fit, not a name. They need to actually find a coach, not a headline.

Next up...Mark Dantonio.

Michigan State administration might need to open up the wallet to keep Dantonio from going to Texas. This story just posted about an hour ago.

Yup

Dantonio will get a nice raise out of this if he stays with Sparty.

Probably to at least 4th highest in the Big 10.

Years into the future, old coaches will talk of these times as the "Golden Age", when head coaches everywhere added millions and years to their contracts. They will be sitting around, patting a 90 year old Mack on the back, thanking him for the "Golden Age" of big-time, life-changing raises they were able to secure.

Jeff Gordon and Rick Hendrick ponied up a big payday to keep him one more year. Promised him a title winning crew if he would stay also.

Texas is taking their sweet time on this. Maybe a few of their top candidates have said no.

Or more likely, they had the guy all along and are just waiting for him to finish his BCS Bowl.

I'd greatly prefer JJ to Franklin. ... and yes I don't think either will be the next HC at Texas.

Does Mack Brown get a kick back from all these coaches getting raises? He should. That's millions upon millions of bucks in their pockets.
