If the girl comes with the deal I'm definitely all for it.

[Christopher Walker]

Sorry dude. Sam Ponder is not coming with.

[Got5onIt]

I think he's a great candidate. His history is exactly what NT should be looking for in a head coach.

 

As for the reaction over a plain white helmet with a purple M......... 

[Mike Jackson]

Great resume almost perfect.  The lack of Texas ties would be a concern for me.

pretty impressive resume but I agree about the lack of Texas ties.

[eulessismore]

Well, his team beat SMU this year, so there is that.  And it indicates he has been to Texas.  However, the lack of even one Texan on their roster makes me wonder if he's just someone with a great resume and there's no real reason to think he's a good fit for this position.  We haven't had that much Texas presence on our coaching staff recently, so maybe that's not perceived as a real factor.

He will be a great coach.... for someone on the Eastern Seaboard and in the South (think ECU)

[Got5onIt]

He can hire good assistants with Texas ties. If the man can recruit, he'll be able to recruit here.

He has some Texas ties.  He coached at UT from 1998-2000.

I'm betting the TX H.S. coaching changes over the past 15-17 years render those connections near useless.  Now, if he were able to keep up while at UNC or OHSt, then maybe...  but I wouldn't bet on it.

[medpilot21]

Is it too early to say no? Okay then.. NO. Texas "Guns-Blazing" Head Coach or Offensive Coordinator please with Texas High School ties for recruiting. Would also be nice if he has never appeared in a football movie so FFR wont have the opportunity to post that Armadillo Costume Pic again. 

GMG!!!

Just because he was out of state coaching in the NFL for 6 years and was/is a winning HC at 2 different out of state schools shouldn't be held against him.

I would bet that some of the young assistant coaches he met while recruiting at UT are now head coaches, some head coaches are now Ads, etc.

I would imagine he can find his way around the state without much help.

I was never knocking his NFL experience or anything.  I was only pointing out that the time he was at UT was quite a long time ago.  Many of those contacts are likely gone.

[ChristopherRyanWilkes]

I also question his ability to recruit in Texas. Other than that, he looks pretty good on paper.

forget that... BRING BACK ERIN ANDREWS!!!
