    How about Singletary for AD? McCaw staying is unthinkable anywhere except Baylor

    My feeling is that whoever takes the job next is doomed to failure for the reasons above. My bet is that the next "permanent HC" they hire won't last long.
    They might as well bring in someone whose upside is discipline, PR, and cleaning up the culture, at whatever cost.
    They can't count on winning anyway. They're Baylor.
    Clean this mess up, and maybe in a few years when the culture is "normal" (not quite so rapey) and the expectations balanced out, they can put a priority back on winning--- and by that I mean being bad to mediocre at football gain.

    Speaking of a guy named Patterson. It would be great if Baylor would hire Steve Patterson as their new AD. That should fix them up real good.:hookem:

    With 41 wins per season, on average, we sure wouldn't want him coaching against us....LOL.....
    I know you're being funny, but Augie's the greatest baseball coach there is, and he's a man with character and values.

    56,

    1) Thanks for the laugh on Augie

    2) Yes, and his daughter is a country music singer

    3) Don't think Franklin Graham would even do a revival, but that does bring up the possibility of Bill McCartney?

    As long as they don't coming calling on Gilbert, I don't care who they get.

    It would be even scarier if they hired coach Gus, since he averaged 50 wins a season, never had a losing season in 29 years at Texas, plus the 22 conference titles, and two national championships.

    Chip is saying Teaff is pushing for Mack Brown I doubt Mack would take that job. I'd think they would go after Doug Meachem Or Lincoln Riley

    Some fail to realize Augie was not the best coach in Texas history when strictly comparing the time they coached here.

    Well since Coach Gus never coached anywhere else, but South San Antonio High School, it's all I got.

    He did win 7 state titles there in 14 seasons. He might haved won a few more game at Texas, if he had coached 19 more years, for 48 seasons.

    A record of 1466-377-2 is not too shabby though.

    We're Texas fans so their production here is all that counts. :smile1: And yes Gus' .795 winning percentage was superior to .658 for Augie. That's before considering conf titles and CWS appearances divided by years coached at Texas.

    Loved all the good years with Coach Gus. But baseball was about 30% as strong, nationally, as it is today. There were a handful of great programs....which we were one....and that was about it. If Gus were coaching during the last 25 years, he'd have far less wins, especially given his inability to 'win the big one' with so, so, so many opportunities and talent to do so.

    Given the criteria of "then and now," Augie's the better coach, in my estimation.
    But you're welcome to your opinion, obviously, as I am.

    I don't think all th0se better teams are being played every season.

    Those powers you talked about would come to the Disch and we would go there. Always had ASU, Miami, Stanford, Fullerton, come and we would go there.

    That's much like it is now, a few good teams come into the Disch and we go there, but not the big names. Stanford is a shell of what they used to be, who else did we play Cal, UCLA, UNLV, and Tulane, not exactly powerhouses, yet we still lost to them.

    You get to the CWS and all those powers were there, we could have won more titles, but regular season wise, there isn't that big a difference.

    I think Gus could still handle our powerhouse midweek schedule too, that hasn't gone to well lately.

    But you really can't expect to beat UT Rio Grande Valley every year and that streak against Texas State had gone on way to long. I mean the school had a different name the last time they won in 2005, for goodness sake. That's just tacky.

    How many more championships might we have if it wasn't for that meaningless Friday night game we had to play in Omaha? Punishment for going through undefeated. Of course, the whoring out of the tournament to ESPN put an end to that, but also put an end to the best overall team winning. Before the change, you really needed at least 8 arms in Omaha and better with 9. Now, you need two plus a closer.

    The real whoring out was the 1989 CWS, changed the format. Then the Championship game against Wichita State was going to be rained out. We had no losses and Wichita State had a loss, first time that went into effect.

    But CBS said they wouldn't broadcast the game if we didn't play, so we had to throw second line pitching, instead of our best, which would have been ready, the next day.

    It rained cats and dogs all morning and the game was at noon, for CBS, I was there. It still irks me. I knew the CWS officials well and they told me the game wouldn't be played, till the CBS brass laid down the law to them, so we played and lost 5-3.

    The debacle against Miami, with all the rain gets me too. That was 1985, again I was there for the CWS, that wouldn't end, went on for over two weeks.

    But this is the football board, we can't be taking over, with baseball talk, there will be gutteral cries and the gnashing of teeth.

    I'll start by saying I know nothing about this....
    I wouldn't expect NCAA sanctions--was this an NCAA-type problem?
    Seems it was more of a campus problem that was a social and PR problem.
    For example, if Briles had been fired for making racial comments, or for having an inappropriate relationship with a student, or for DWIs, would that be an NCAA problem?
    Getting rid of the head coach and moving the president out is a pretty strong move, I would think.

    And, they now have a recent history of bowls, a Heisman, conference championships, a new stadium, lots and lots of NFL players.... I wouldn't expect them to fall off the map so quickly. I think they'll get a good coach and still be a factor.

    Finally, the idea that Briles never coaches again seems far-fetched. I do wonder whether, if he took a job at Cincinnati or Rutgers or Clemson or wherever, he could recruit as well, if taken out of his Texas comfort zone.

    According to SportsCenter, it will be Phil Bennet (the current DC) that gets offered the job.

    Leach (84-43 , 47-33) had a better winning percentage at TTU after resurrecting their program than Briles (65-37, 39-30) did at Baylor.

    He also had eight consecutive 8+ wins seasons to Briles' five. Had one less 1st place conf finishes but two more 2nd place endings.

    The pirate's alleged offenses of mistreating players were far less damaging to victims than Briles' allegations of shielding rapists.

    Even so Leach spent two seasons with no takers before a Pac 12 bottom dweller finally took the minor PR risk.

    Any decent big school program who eventually embraces Briles will endure a media bashing way beyond Washington State levels.

    Bennet promoted to HC....so they get rid of the wolf and turn it over to the wolf cubs. That makes perfect sense. :rolleyes1:

    They really need to clean house of any and all of the Briles assistants.
