I'm not really a huge fan... but he is a top tier coach and available now. I don't know that UT would get immediate recommits or that Boulware might hang around to be "re-recruited"... but it would provide some certainty where uncertainty is blowing the program up.
Anybody think DJ Durkin would be a reasonable hire? Not saying I do (or don't), just asking?
Just do it already!! There's Stoops, Strong, Mullen, Petrino, etc. just off the top of my head. ALL are better than Jones!! All would have at least 9-10 wins a year and would push for more.
If we miss on all major targets he is who I want.
1. SEC experience
2. Phenomenal Recruiter
3. Coached under great coaches like Harbaugh and Meyer
4. Just beat Texas by 10 with a 2nd string QB in the 2nd half. Beat PJ Fleck with a 3rd string QB. Only loss to a ranked UCF where the 2nd string QB got hurt.
5. Is a defensive guy which is rarer these days.
Not being rude but may I ask why you're still a Jones supporter? I'll hang up and listen...
