50% buyout, but still, we paid more to Butch to NOT coach here than we would buying out Briles TO coach here.Briles recently (like in the last week) signed a new contract with Houston 3 yr 2.1 million, with a 25% buyout. Briles would be my dream hire for our OC plus he is great recruiter plus he will open up Texas.
I'd like Freeze, but Fulmer/Pruitt pretty smart, and seemingly normal guys, so if they have their reasons for not bringing him on board, I'm OK with that...just make sure the decision is a good one...jobs ultimately on the line. But, then again, Chris Lowe meanderings haven't exactly been gospel here of late.Look no further than our “AD” for the snag. According to Chris Lowe.
All very good options. Just don’t believe anything reported by anyone anymore when it comes to UT coaching searches.He didn't say Texans' OC.
Per his Twitter, he said the following are candidates:
Houston OC Kendal Briles
Oklahoma State OC Mike Yurcich
Troy HC Neal Brown
Unnamed SEC OC
To be fair he's had 4 years at Troy and hasn't landed a P5 gig yet, maybe a bigger (better paying) OC position in the SEC can open up a P5 job?Yeah, I suppose money talks. Just seems weird to me to change posts when he could snag a P5 head coaching gig if he stays put. Heck, I wouldn’t have minded if we had hired him last year.
