Trooper to Baylor???

Taylor to interview with Baylor : Football : GoVolsXtra.com

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Have to respect the Bears for rolling the dice and making a bold move.

 

[TXA&M07]

Because I have gathered that many of you here really like Trooper, I hope this is not true. Baylor is the Vandy of the Big 12.

But Vandy wins a few games every year.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Baylor went to 3 bowl games in the 1990s. Your point is taken, but Trooper is a Baylor alumni after all.

 

[T-TownVol]

Then, how do you concider it a bold move? Just asking.

 

[NEW COACH]

We will offer him the OC spot B4 he goes.

 

[Lexvol]

Good luck Trooper!

Going after a guy who is not a proven commodity for the job you are hiring for.

 

[volbreaker]

Impossible........the braintrust here will flat out tell you "he's never called a play"

 

[vols461]

anyone heard any good news lately?

Neither was Urban Meyer when he was offered the job at BG.

Bowling Green is not that much better/worse of a job than Baylor.

 

[CABVOL]

I just saved a bunch of money by switching to...oh...nm.

 

[TXA&M07]

anyone heard any good news lately?

I get off work in 1 hour.

If this guy chooses to go to Baylor, do any of you think the progression to head coach will begin for him?

Oh, and nice shot about Vandy winning and Baylor not. Every confrence needs a slump buster to take to the woodshed!

 

[dickens821]

I say we let him go to Baylor, see if he is worth anything as an OC... then hire him if he is. If not... then we didn't lose anything.

 

[T-TownVol]

Going after a guy who is not a proven commodity for the job you are hiring for.

But my "sources" say he is ready to be the OC at UT.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Once he goes to Texas he is gone to us forever, except maybe as a head coach. There are schools out there that will pay more than UTK for the services of a good coach.

If Michigan snags Rodriquez add them to that list.

 

[rexvol]

Baylor seems like it could be turned around. If Briles can win at Houston, then there is enough talent in the state to go around.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Baylor had a good stretch in the 1990s. It seems that they have not really got it clicking in the divisional format though.

 

[UT IE 95]

Just look at Alabama, Florida, and Auburn. If you look for them in the SEC standings, you'll need to look down below UT.

do you really think that's a possibility?

 

[VolfanMike]

They generally have good baseball teams..

2 of those schools have won the SEC recently. The other is currently rebuilding, although they managed to murder UT, anyway.
