But Briles would do to Tech what he did to Houston. That sounds bad. He didn't do to Houston what Dykes did to Tech, but he did leave them for a better job after a few years.Quote:

Tech hasn't got the money to do what Baylor does, but I am ok with them leaving for better (their opinion) jobs. You want others to want your coach. We wish someone wanted ours. Much worse. I don't post much and I am not big on bashing player or coaches, but someone has to be accountable for this season.
What is wrong with hiring a coach every 3 years? If your search committee is smart they will just hire another good coach.Quote:

Maxfield could very well come in and be one of those exceptions.
I concur, I was pointing out that it could happen. I don't have a dog in the hunt, or know who Maxfield is. But as to whether his hiring could be worse? Wow, that would be tough. To be as compitant as a coach so out of the box with his thinking to call a run up the middle on 3rd and 19, your next coach could be wearing a helmet licking the window on his ride to the game in his bus of less than average length.Quote:

This has to be right up there with the worst hire in history.Quote:

Totally agree. Also Higgins will never be a very good.Quote:

I disagree. Higgins will be a good qb at tech. He needs to stop throwing into coverage but he is the best option. The O responds better with him in. Maybe it is because scotty is so bad that Higgins looks better.Quote:
