    How long is his contract?

    Here's the link for those interested:
    Texas A&M athletic director Ross Bjork, women’s basketball coach Gary Blair to discuss future

    Blair is 74 years old and heading into the final year of his contract. I can't help but wonder if his vision was to retire after the graduation of his current junior class, as his team was very junior-heavy including Chennedy Carter.

    Just one more reason why I was gobsmacked that UT accomplished the "double steal" from the clutches of both MS State and A&M.

    That still doesn’t mean that Schaefer wouldn’t change his mind and decide to go there if it opens up today or after next season.

    Final year of his contract - in 2017 aggy extended Blair through the 2020-2021 season.

    Yeah I am leery of this possibility as well. The buyout should be substantial enough to provide a major barrier to this scenario, but there's no way to rule it out completely.

    Any of y'all thing MSU might look at Goestenkors? She's said she's ready to get back in to coaching.

    Let's get something straight. Karen isn't gone because she couldn't beat that scum in Waco. She's gone because she was continuously getting beat by teams with less talent, and that was the result of no offensive strategy, lack of discipline, failure to develop players and failure to take care of the ball.

    One of the most important points Vic made in his interview is you can't score if you keep giving the ball back to your opponent. Unfortunately, Karen couldn't figure that out.

    Not for $2M... but if it came to her being hired there, if current players stayed I think she'd do very well until it came to getting more recruits. The issue with the MSU job is Starkville...a town of 23k in Mississippi. That's not real attractive to kids, and what Vic accomplished (in the exact same amount of time as KA's tenure at UT) with zero high school All-Americans speaks volumes about his and his staff's abilities, particularly in the area of player development.

    She couldn't make Joyner and others figure that out.

    Well, she also couldn't make any of her other teams figure that out as well. It has, unfortunately, been a trademark of all of Karen's teams at Texas. IMO, it is because of lack of not only discipline and development, but very poor half-court offensive schemes. That has simply not been one of her strong points.

    According to the ballout.com:
    The primary target for Mississippi State is Louisville’s Jeff Walz, sources tell The Ball Out. The Bulldogs have definitely reached out to Walz and are offering a contract in the range of $1.7M and $2M annually. And with probable budget cuts at Louisville, don’t rule out the possibility that Walz could seriously consider Mississippi State.

    Also, Mississippi State Associate head coach Johnnie Harris has been offered anywhere between $450,000-$500,000 a year to come to Texas.

    At 59 yrs old, who knows how much longer Vic plans to stay in coaching. Let's say 8-10 yrs down the road he decides to retire, Harris could possibly inherit the program then. Come to Austin, Johnnie!

    This article has more holes in it than a block of swiss cheese. Let me guess the columnist is an Aggie?

    Saying he fired Karen and didn't fire Shaka leaves out a huge part of the story. I'm not happy Shaka is back and am on the fence about renewing men's tickets next year but to pay someone $10MM to not coach when you may not be playing football in the fall would be insane.

    I agree on ya'lls interpretation of the of the article. When I was reading it this morning over my coffee and toast, I almost choked. Sherrington knew just enough to get himself in trouble.

    Agree. A little of background research would have put an end to that column. But then the Dallas News is all about aggy. A couple of days ago there was a long piece on Jimbo and how aggy was going to conquer in 2020. That writer must have glossed over the fact that Alabama and LSU were still on aggy's schedule. That spells 10-2 and another trip to the Texas Bowl.

    I don't understand why Jeff Walz would want the job at Mississippi State as he's from Kentucky, Louisville just won their 3rd consecutive ACC regular season championship, and Dana Evans is returning.

    My guess is he remains in Louisville and is using Mississippi State in order to force Louisville to increase his salary of $1.475 million to $2 mln.

    Louisville is having money problems and the highest paid employees have to take pay cuts which is why he might decide to leave.
