UT job about to come open

[shake_weight]

Look for them to come after Oats

But I think Beard will be their top choice

Texas wants to be Alabama so bad.

I am glad we have a coach others would like to have . It hasn't always been this way. But CNO and family are very happy here. Not to mention a monstrous buyout. RTR

I think Chris Beard is their #1 choice & from what I've heard he'd take the job.

 

[Jordan Harper]

No he’s not going to Texas. Just getting that out there lol

Why is Smart going to Marquette? Can I assume Texas won't put up much of a fight after the opening round loss in the tourney?

Their fans on the tMB seem pretty happy about it

Oats is not going anywhere for a long time. He and his family love it here and that speaks volumes with his family structure.

Texas basketball job isn’t that great of a job in comparison to football. And the football job has interference issues.

There is more to this story than meets the eye. Marquette is a step down from the Texas job and MU does not have the capacity to pay what TexAss can pay.

He was about to be fired. Or at the very least his seat was scorching hot

Disagree. Marquette is a better basketball job. Smart was definitely on the hot seat. Did Texas a favor though.
