Vince Young Named Assistant AD At Texas...

[BUBear]

after being fired in 2019. Could this be a reminder to Sark what Texas expects of him in Austin? Sark was at USC when VY beat the Trojans for the Natty.

 

[BUBear]

Or they simply do not want to see VY on the corner of 6th and Congress with a cardboard sign.

Pretty much the same capacity that Earl Campbell has held for decades. Meet and greet and get a big check from the alums for the athletic department. VY failed miserably at this same job for the Longhorn Network...ya gotta show up at the meet and greets.

I too worked at Dunder Mifflin back in the day......as we are aware, there is a great divide between the two titles, at least an episode's worth!

They work hard at it. Second time they've given him a 6 figure walmart greeter job.

First thing popped in my head. Thread title says Assistant AD, headline reads Assistant TO the AD. Lmao

There is a huge difference between "Assistant AD" and "assistant to the AD."

He's one sad, cautionary tale. The stories of how he blew his tens of millions from the Titans are legend

Didn't he like to go to Cheesecake Factory and drop $20-25k at a time?

Wtf

 

[05_never_again]

Wtf

Ok, memory was a little fuzzy. It was "only" $15k during one particular visit, and he spent about $5k at a time.

Is this what "privilege" is?

 

[butchna]

Is this what "privilege" is?

It’s what “little grey matter” is. I remember during his press junket after the legendary championship performance, remarking to my Longhorn crazy bro-in-law “This is a very stupid man!” He argued with me...then!

Is this what a 7 Wonderlic gets you?

Six. You must have spotted him the PAT.

Yep. He'd fly in dozens of his 'posse' to some regional city, buy (rent) an entire restaurant for a weekend, and blow >$25-35k at a shot. Im sure the published stories are only the tip of the iceberg

Earl was a good guy that never embarrassed Texas. Give VY time. He’ll do it again.

“Until the University of Texas realizes —, and nothing against Ehlinger, you got to have a talented, black quarterback,” Campbell said.

I was thinking more along personal stuff but that’s pretty bad.
