Is the LHN an albatross around UT's neck in regards to their HC search? It sounded like Mack didn't like the extra demands it placed on him. Boo hoo if it did/does, **** Texas and while we're at it, **** bailor!

It's not just the LHN, it's everything that goes with being the ball coach at UT. If Joe Jamail, Red McCombs, or one of a dozen wrinkly old white guys say jump, you ask how high.
If by albatross, you mean $11M bag o' cash per year, then yes. The LHN was a cluster **** but I don't think it has much bearing on who they get as a coach.
One name I'm surprised we haven't heard more of this year is Tim DeRuyter. Maybe it's because of what jobs were available. But last year he was talked about a lot but the knock was he hadn't been at Fresno State long enough to prove himself. I would have thought that this season would have vaulted him to a bigger job.
I can see how at this stage they think taking someone from a non-BCS conference would be below them. It's a huge step down from Saban to a coach in the MWC.
Once they get turned down by enough people on their A list they might be glad to spin it that he was who they wanted but for right now they expect to take someone who is coaching a BCS school that is ranked in the top 25.
I didn't mean UT, but in general. I don't remember seeing DeRuyter as a candidate for any of the jobs.
Something smells with that deruyter situation. He's ****ed next year without his qb
What? So da yoots now have three OC? Dennis the Menace Erickson, Brian Johnson and Dave "**** you flyboy" Christensen?
Apparently Christensen will be the OC, Erickson will coach RBs, and Johnson will coach the Qbs

This does not bode well for the CU defense.
Whittingham must have some huge buyout on his contract if Utah is bringing in all these name offensive guys (and 2 former HCs at that) while Whittingham continues to meddle around.
I bet the real problem with Utah is that they expect to have the same success in the Pac-12 as they did in the Mountain West.
Florida Atlantic: Pelini resigned Replacement: Charlie Partridge
USC: Kiffin Fired Replacement: Steve Sarkisian
UConn: Paul Pasqualoni fired Replacement: Bob Diaco, former ND DC
Miami (oh): Don Treadwell fired Replacement: the ND OC, forget his name (Chuck Martin?)
Wyoming: Dave Christensen fired Replacement: Craig Bohl from NDSU
Wake Forest: Jim Grobe retires, Replacement: Dave Clawson former Bowling Green HC
Army: Rich Ellerson fired Jeff Monken, Ga. St. Fmr. HC
UT: Mack Brown resigned
Secondary market:
UW: Sark to $C Bringing in Boise Pete
BoiseSt.: Petey to UW, Replacement: Bryan Harsin, former Boise OC and Ark. St. HC
Bowling Green: Clawson to Wake Replacemetn Dino Babers, fmr. ECU HC
The UT HC coaching cluster continues.....
Oh, and Bill O'Brien reworked his first contract at Perv St. reducing his buyout if he leaves for a NFL team from $19M to $6.5M, now is seeking a further reduction...IMO he wants out.

Why would Penn State make it easier for him to leave? The only thing I can think of is if they don't want him if his heart isn't in it. Do they really want to deal with this circus every year (will he or won't he go?). He's not exactly Pete Carroll (atleast yet) in terms of it being worth it IMO.

As long as he wants to stay, I believe. I don't think he's getting too many job offers due to his age. I think he's basically there because he doesn't want to sit on his bum and do nothing. Must be a bit awkward to go from winning national titles at Miami to being an assistant in SLC.

Good / bad choice?
That looks like a "home run" if I'm an Army fan
He used to work for Paul Johnson(Ga Tech/Navy),so I guess they are going to try and keep fighting fire w/fire(beating Navy at their own game).He's 38-16 as HC so he's won more than he's lost,FWIW.I thought Grobe would've been a good fit,but I'm positive the powers at be know more than I do about whats best for USMA.
