So underwhelming and destined for failure. I really hope the 4th unidentified candidate is much better than this group.

I question the credibility of anyone who says Applewhite is the OC at Texas.

you wouldn't like the list if it included Meyers, Saban, Miles and Daddy Briles.

So piecing it together we have:

Meacham - Makes sense and seems to be the most qualified as he is/has been the play caller for some of the most high powered offenses in football.

Applewhite - Knows what it takes to win and recruit at a G5

Chambers - Most likely the mystery FOI candidate that Vito mentioned. I like that he is one of us but he has been a position coach at the same school for 17 years.

??? - Who is the fourth finalist

Major's stock is going up after Houston's win today.  I would take either one.  Both have their strengths.  Major makes a BIG splash across the state and gives you instant name recognition.  Meacham is the safer hire in terms of experience but does not have the name recognition.  Very interesting.

I don't think Meacham is the recruiter we need. I think he's more of guy who is suited to take a team to the next level after they already have the pieces in place, like he did at TCU. From what I've seen, I would be surprised to see him recruit at Dodge's level. He seems like a low floor, low ceiling guy. I'm still not sure what I think about Applewhite. I like that he has had success at G5 schools. I would be shocked if it were Chambers.

In regard to the recruits, I'd argue that neither would really have name recognition. Major is well known to us older fans, but few of these high school kids know what Applewhite did at Texas.

I think Meacham can get more mileage out of telling recruits he coached Boykin and ran that TCU offense.

I think Meacham should be known by recruits in the DFW area at least. For the record, I'd be fine with Applewhite as well. I'd say this is the next tier for me after Riley and others though. That's to be expected though.

Unless he was recruiting them or they're avid TCU fans, I doubt that. We often overrate just how much about college football these recruits know. Particularly before they actually go through the recruiting process (like the current juniors who will be our new coach's first full-cycle class).

Has he removed this tweet?  Cause I don't see it up there anymore.  You never know about these things but I would be good with both of them.

You mean recruits didn't know about McCarney's national championship at Florida?

He posted it two days ago but I never saw it or heard anything about it, so I too question the validity. Waiting on word from Zach Barnett before I believe it.

      TX State to the PAC 2?

      I think it has very little to do with what you're implying, but rather the Belt schools being a cheaper option due to the AAC having to disintegrate before individual entities cut 27M checks. Given the schools that are in the PAC they will be placed just fine in this hierarchy. Also, the Belt is a much better conference than we were in it.

      TX State to the PAC 2?

      Are we assuming a school has to have $27M cash on hand in order to make a more? Not sure that's the case. It's never clear how much really exchanges hands. Did Marshall, Southern Miss and Old Dominion ever pay the full amount to CUSA when they bolted early? It seems that once a school and conference have accepted that separation is a fait accompli, they work something out. Pay over time, give up distributions, negotiate a reduction, etc. Either way, it's probably financed anyway.

      TX State to the PAC 2?

      Interesting questions. I wonder...and this is not meant to disparage any school or conference, but I wonder from a purely perception perspective if some of the hesitancy (if that's what it is), is due to elevating a SBC school over other options? Historically, there has been a hierarchy or pecking order when it comes to schools moving up the conference food chain. Usually, the raiding conference looks to those schools in the adjacent conference (one level below) for replacements. SBC plucks from FCS, CUSA plucks from SBC, AAC plucks from CUSA, B12 plucks from AAC and so on. If the new PAC is somewhere between AAC and P4 and they need to dip down 3 levels to the SBC for a replacement what does that say about their placement in the hierarchy of college athletic conferences? Again, I'm not bashing Texas St or the SBC, I'm just thinking about the psychology of this and the egos involved. I think the overall perception of the conference hierarchy is still out there especially for those that don't follow the moves closely. Separating the SEC and B1G on the top level, the new PAC (certainly WSU and OSU) desperately want to be seen as on the same level as the Big12 and ACC. If their only choice is to elevate a SBC school (and let's face it, a relative newcomer on the scene), then it may be perceived as weakness (fairly or unfairly) and prima facie evidence that they are no longer peers with the B12 and ACC, but with the AAC and MWC.
