PelvisPresley Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I'm just interested in who Texas could attract as a coach to replace Shaka...I think they will try very hard to get together the buyout money!!! Could Chris Beard be attracted from Texas Tech? I would have said no had he continued to 1 loss dominance they had going earlier where it looked like they may dominate the Big 12 but then they lost a couple in a row and scraped by the other day against Arkansas.

topher805 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Would Texas go after Pitino? Throw money at Billy Donovan to leave OKC? Eric Mussleman from Nevada? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxFight Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 How in the world you give up 98 points to one of the worst offensive basketball teams in the P5 conferences is beyond me. Get this season over with already. Wasting another lottery pick.ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelvisPresley Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 am I wrong or when you look at the team and roster...does it just smack of a team you'd see at a VCU and be like "oh cool" and it would be fine there against the teams they probably play game in and game out, winning a lot of them. they just look and play the same, not like you'd expect from Texas.

PelvisPresley Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 so you guys think Beard now has things going too good in Lubbock to make a jump unless it was to one of the big, big boys? since I didn't see you mention him...since Avery Johnson has done pretty well in Alabama, I wondered if a Jason Kidd type or similar would be a draw from the NBA? young, dynamic...

Idk if Beard would switch to a team in the same conference. But who knows. He's a very good coach. I could see a young NBA coach at Texas. Avery Johnson was a big get for Bama and has done a very good job with that program. I wonder if any of Coach K's assistants (John Scheyer comes to mind) would be an interest for UT.ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PelvisPresley Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Texas winning that game is more of the same trash from Shaka...play up (chip on shoulder) against better teams (just like his VCU team would)...but any team equal to or worse they lay down for...rather than the Horns running teams that stink outta the gym.ย That's why EVERY game is within 10 points.
