Who would be your football consultant to turn it around?

I feel like a lot of you are really hung up in the past...but the reality is a lot of the names being mentioned are old geezers. 


Mike Gundy ran a pretty successful program up until the NIL era really took off....he's probably the guy if motivated to get back in would be an interesting choice as a "Team President/AD" if you want a Football AD. I feel like he was half burned out and half railroaded over politics at Ok State if i had to guess. Sounds like Cal sent a shot across the bow in support of HY but what he says behind closed doors may be different. I figure as long as Cal is in the loop and good with the hire it won't be a big deal.

You people are all fixated on old people and former coaches. No thanks. We need someone that is young and can come in and knows how to alayze film and tactical evaluations, good at networking and has the ability to navigate the NIL and use it to our benefit. None of these old rags can figure that out.

Michael Tomlin is available. There's no way he'd put up with college kids though.

I think someone like that would rather coach than be in admin
I need help and I know it.

It wouldn't make a bit of difference as long as YuraSuck is still there.  Whatever happens must start with that fucking loser getting the boot.

Apparently the answer to this question is President Jay Silveria is being tasked with doing a review of the program. 

After a lengthy and exhaustive review I'm sure they'll end up firing HY. This is mostly about the politics and optics. I don't think the UA wanted another deal where the AD is tied to the hip of the football coach like what happened with HY/Chad.

DJ would probably bring a lot of "I know it looks hard but that's how Coach P won here"... and then he'd be fired and no one would listen.

For $7 mil I'll put a webcam in front of my shitter so I can answer fan questions while I drop the Longhorns off in College Station.

This. You need an nfl guy that has experience with college kids. I really feel like this is a complete rebuild. Not just in the football offices and the AD. Shake up the BoT, the foundation, NIL collective (whatever the hell they're calling it now), and the marketing department. All of it. They need to kick out all the ppl that got their job because they were fresh out of college and cheap or because they knew/blew somebody important.

Don't think he'd do it, but I'd make him turn down a helluva offer.

Is there someone who is over all of that who could make the decision to blow it up and start over?

College football was better when players were being paid under the table.

The Save College Football act may just bring that back.
