Kntu On Firing

I don't want Bower either, but the way Rick answered my question during the press conference made it seem like he was already leaning that way. My choice would be Major Applewhite, who is a huge Texas name and I think would utilize Dunbar properly and Byrd in the future.

Id take Bower before Applewhite, who has Z E R O head coaching experience.

[GoMeanGreen1999]

I might consider re-hiring TD over Bower

NO to any assistant that has not been a HC. We don't need a learning curve time loss again/

[NT91]

Leach would not come to NT. NT does not have the $$$$$ to pay him.

Wish someone one had come out and asked "Has any consideration been given to Jeff Bower?" While RV probably would not have directly answered the question, the way he danced around it would have been interesting for all to watch. Anyway to read the tea leaves! And sometimes, they actually do answer the question.

There is no doubt in my mind that Bower will be a finalist.

You really think anyone at Texas knows how to use running backs? You can't be serious.

No, no, no. A thousand times no!

Major Applewhite is a position coach at UT. He's the running backs coach. And, how has the Longhorn run game looked the past few seasons? Awful.

Also, OU bangers, no to Josh Heupel. No, to any position coach. Applewhite and Heupel aren't even coordinators yet.

Look, we've got to stop thinking of ourselves as some bush league "try out" school for unknowns and assistants. If we want to be big and win consistently, we've got to hire someone who has already proven they know how to do it at this level.

Applewhite and Heupel were handed jobs by their alma maters because neither of them were good enough to even so much as hold a clipboard in the NFL. Neither one has been given even partial coordinator responsibilites - and both have been coaching at their respective schools for about a decade!

Okay, no! No to position coaches. No to hometown and regional heroes. Go out and get a real football coach who has real skins on the wall from programs that he built. Not some free-riding position coach that a few in that fanbase think about with some twisted nostalgia from their long gone playing days.
