Steve Patterson´s future as Texas AD in doubt
- Thread starter Jens1893
- Start date
So, you're saying he wouldn't get Texas into the Pac 12?
I found the problem:
The thing about the chart that's misleading (or just plain wrong) is the labeling: he conflates "price" with "total revenue". We don't know how the actual number of tickets changed between 2014 and 2015 as he only lists ticket sales for 2014. Where I think this is evident is in some of the decreases (big ones, at that) in the lower tiers. I find it hard to believe that the AD would make a big increase on the big-time donors and give the little guys a big break on pricing. What I think actually happened is that the pricing increase (which Patterson said was ~6% on average) drove out some of the "casual" season ticket holders, whereas it didn't impact demand with the die-hards who had tickets in those upper tiers.
Remember, this appears in Chipper's article, and he always has an agenda when it comes to "reporting" on UT.

Well, they didn't say RG is a candidate. It was the Louisville AD, Mack Brown, and some NCAA guy.
The Louisville AD?
Think about that for a second. They hired Strong out of Louisville. The natives are restless with Strong. You think they're going to THAT well one more time?
It'll be Mack Brown, and the natives will be happy once again. Except for the fact that the team will still suck. That'll annoy them.
That's what they said on the radio. I don't follow Texas and could care less.
My guess is it will be Mack Brown. He will get to fire his successor, he will hire a crony, UT will stink it up for another 3-4 years until the big cigars run Brown off again, this time for good. By then OU will have beaten them like a read headed step-child every year in the Red River Shootout, I mean Showdown, well, even that sounds to un-PC, by that time they will probably call the game the Red River Football Festival.....the Baptists and the Horned Frogs will take a bite out of Bevo nearly every year, and ISU will finally sneak up on UT. Still, UT fan will be every bit as arrogant and snotty, convinced they should go independent like ND, or have all the P5 conferences re-align them selves to accommodate the mutant cow.
Brown actually seems like a decent fit, in a Texas way. He was very good with the boosters and handled the program more like an administrator than a coach. I think he could do okay with keeping boosters happy. Having successful sports programs is another matter.

I hear it's like a round Brillo pad. Allegedly.
agree. He would not keep Strong
Yep. He would actually be perfect in my eyes.
that sign always gets me.
I couldn't help but laugh at this quote Joe Jamail about not meddling in UT's decision to fire Patterson:
It reads like something out of the Onion.

to the above poster. why would Saban want to leave Bama for Texas? no shenanigans there.....Texas historically underachieves.....and the SEC is where it's at these days either in Reality or just on ESPN hard to know. and as much as we bang on about how much the Big XII sucks, is doomed to fail, etc....why ignore that logic when it comes to being the Saban?
if they hire Mack they are insane....Mack should tell them to go F themselves anyway.....and only allbuffs that wet themselves to hire Jon Embree and has endorsed "back to the past" logic for eons (he bleeds Black and Gold)....would think that was a good idea.

Actually Mick, I think the history with hiring 'back to the past' is EXACTLY why we want them to hire Mack. If there is any way to turn Tejas into a bigger shyte show, I am all for it. I think Hawkins is available for HC if they dump Strong too.

I'm for saving Hawkins for the Baylor coaching job after the Title IX Rape investigation cleans house in Waco.
Texas sucks.
