Who would be on the Short List for Texas? - Dallas Cowboys Forum

**ABQCOWBOY** · 12-11-2012

Just for the sake of discussion, and please don't everybody get all bent out of shape for suggesting Mack is gone, if Mack Brown were to step down or get promoted, who would be on the short list to replace him?

Thoughts?

Jerry Gray.

I suspect that might make a pitch toward Peterson.
But with only 50-50 odds of getting him, they may not want to risk the look of getting turned down.

I would guess that Texas might look for a big name coach.

Would Les Miles consider Texas?

Would Brian Kelly consider Texas?

Would Muschamp consider Texas?

It will be the usual suspects - Petersen, Patterson, Saban, etc.

Peterson I don't know. Patterson just signed an extension for more money and Saban, I don't see him leaving Bama. Why would he? They can offer as much as Texas and he's already got it going there.

ESPN was on a Saban to the NFL kick on Monday. I don't think he would go to another school but moving back to the NFL with the right team would be a possible move

How about Briles? He can recruit and knows how to play a Big 12 offense. With the right DC he could do big things at Texas.

Briles doesn't fit Texas IMO. Texas loves Mack because he has the right personality, reflects Texas well and makes them a lot of Money. Briles, he's not that guy and I think Texas would rather have that. Besides, Briles can't coach defense and that's a problem.

I think Saban would be a candidate. As rich and powerful as bama is, Texas is the only school in the country that could offer him a 2 or 3 million dollar raise.

Outside of that chip Kelly would get a call, so would guys like Jon gruden, Texas would go big time to replace Mack

This Saban talk is just pure comedy gold. No offense to my longhorn friends here, but be serious.

Saban would never sniff an offer from Texas and Texas would never pay him nearly 8million / year. You are out of your minds.

Maybe the idea of Texas spending that much on a coach is far fetched, but the fact is they can afford it and nick Saban would more than just sniff it

I would love to see the Oregon offense at Texas because I think we have better personnel to run it than they do but idt Texas considers him because of of the street agent shenanigans with him.

Muschamp is where he wants to be imo. Saban is waiting for the right opportunity for the NFL imo, he has proven he is the best in CFB and a guy like that isn't content with being the biggest fish in a lake, he wants to be the biggest in the ocean. Much like pete carroll.

I do wonder if urban meyer could be swayed like the kiffen debacle in Tennessee

I just find it funny why you think he would. Championships out the boots @ Alabama and you already are saying that Texas spending that much is far fetched. Please tell us what is it about Texas and its program that would entice Saban so much? If it isn't money, why would he leave a place where he walks on water and is pretty much the top program in the land year in and year out w/ him at the helm right now.

I am being serious here.

honestly the biggest difference would be ease of recruiting, more money, and the city itself
