In that scenario you are either hiring a coach and not telling him he will have a new AD soon or you are telling him. Either way it is likely to scare of candidates. An AD that didn't hire you is more likely to fire you...

This is true but lets go back to my business example... He has the Chairman's approval, that means more than the CEO's

Withers is not the same as the other hires mentioned. (Hauck & Mac)

He does have Texas ties with 3 years at UT.

He has won at both the FBS and FCS levels.

He coached 7 years in the NFL, which gives him a lot of street cred with potential recruits and current players.

When he tries to recruit some really good DBs they are going to listen to what he has to say.

People need to stop saying this about him.   Those connections were 15+ years ago.

Can you imagine saying you have MS Office experience when you haven't used it since the 97 or 2000 versions?

He was at Texas from 98-00.....

Yes, I will agree with you that hes won at both levels.

I'm not saying he's a bad coach, you just don't get the hype from the fan base that you would get from the other guys being mentioned.

 

My point is that this goes back to RV... He said he wants this and that but then and goes hire someone completely different.

The problem with firing the AD at this precise moment is you risk hosing the football coach search.  While we can point to instances where it has been successfully done, you make it way more difficult a process and potentially scare off some good candidates.

I would not be shocked if RV retires towards the end of the athletic year.

Candidates will be scared off by the prospect of working for RV. Of having donors and fans walk away because RV is still AD. Of counting on RV to do something he has never done, fill Apogee. Of having to coach the games that RV schedules.

RV is a liability.

He was at Texas from 1998-2000.  They had cars, airplanes, and TVs back then.  Most people even had phones and computers.

It's a moot point anyway because some P5 is going to snatch him up in short order.

      If you honestly think what happened to SMU was in any way fair treatment given what other programs were doing at the time (or what has happened in the subsequent 35 plus years since) then are you divorced from reality. SMU was made an example of and it did absolutely nothing to curtail paying players or offering inducements to high school recruits. Nothing. The NCAA has long since acknowledged had they known the fallout from SMU that the death penalty would've never been on the table. It took all of one year playing in a power conference to see SMU's potential now that the administration, boosters, and athletic department are all in alignment.

      Odom DC??

      It was the highest paid assistant position in all of G5. We're in DFW and its recruiting potential. We'll get looks. I haven't dug into who's available, though. I'm sure NIL budget would play into this, too, but I don't have any insight into that.

      I guess it depends on the DC. The LaTech guy may want to make the jumo to the AAC. Same for the Sam Houston DC. The Rice DC just had their HC fired.

      sure. so maybe it's just semantics, but nothing above equates to "elite" for me. both from the standpoint that "elite" is rarified company and too when we start using language like that the @untbowler's of the board will show up only after every loss to blame our deified coach and the AD that didn't go after Will Wade I guess. just trying to help keep ten toes on the ground for everyone and make sure the basketball conversation stays intelligent and not at all resembling the football forum.

      That just sounds like delusion to me. If the defense breaks into the top 80 next year statically, I will be very surprised. Of available job openings at this level will be low on list. I would much rather join a brand new staff with 2 years of stability guaranteed than come here.
