Candidates for Texas job include...Mike Tomlin, Nick Saban and Jim Harbaugh?

Nick Saban is staying. Damn what a raise he got.

Well, so ends that drama.

If they wind up going after a bunch of big names, and being rejected, it's gonna be a tad embarrassing.

No, teeray, Texas is not the best coaching job in the world. It's not even a top 5 in college.

 

And if you're a coach's agent, isn't your primary job to simply throw your client's name out there every time there's a vacancy? As soon as that happens, your employer will then throw huge extension with huge money to keep you in town, just what Alabama did with Saban, Sumlin at Texas A&M, etc.

 

We see this every week, so is anyone really surprised?

I thinkk the prestige of the Texas job has taken a major hit in the last 4 to 5 years.

Same source as the original story now says Jon Gruden is interested.

PFT suspects someone at the University of Texas is dropping names to make the job seem more attractive than it actually is.

That kinda tactic can backfire.
