Other than the Shaka Smart hire.......he has been a disaster

[team first]

And that's still to be determined on that hire

Shaka will have more success than Strong. Look at how long Barnes stayed on.

Smart was a phenomenal hire.  As far as I can tell, may be the only thing he's done right since he's been here.

Did anyone ever take credit for flying the banner?

[Eagle11]

I was on hornfans a little while ago and someone said they knew but would not say a word.......said it may have been the same person that flew one years ago that said Dump Deloss

The debit card used to pay was from a bank in College Station. 

 

Haha

Something needs to change for sure... How can the University of Texas be so lackluster in all sports? To me its simple, if you are the CEO, and your stocks are going down every year, you have got to go... Its just like Charlie Strong, I think he is a good coach, but I think he was hired for a position he cannot succeed in... You have to play the politics in Austin.. Unless you are a Nick Saban type.....

[PhatMack19]

He gone

Quote:@kbohls: Texas has officially confirmed AD Steve Patterson has been fired.

 

@kbohls 
Former Longhorn LB Mike Perrin, a Hall of Honor inductee, will take over as AD during search for Patterson successor. 

[PhatMack19]

His is contract was guaranteed for $1.4M a year.

 

@BDavisAAS: To be clear, Texas not confirming  Patterson story. Buyout negotiations going on right now, two sources said. Look for that this afternoon.

[Eagle11]

Don't leave mad Stevie.........just leave

 

Bring Mack back....that is the perfect job for him

New interim Texas AD Mike Perrin from Houston is already in Austin

As a UT fan, I couldn't be happier... Patterson had to go and the decision was made quickly.

That is what I am liking about this.......it was done quick. No weeks of discussion to do it.

don't fret over dollars amounts at The University of Texas.  They can afford it.

Joe Jamail might pick up the tab himself

Jamail cancelled his suite at DKR this year.  This may be in part to try to get him and his checkbook back.

 

$5.6 mil guaranteed is what Patterson is owed.

I like Mack as commentator.

I would love to see Mack get an offer as AD. It would be a great fit for both him and the program. He is built for that type of job and he knows the program well.

I was told certain BMDs confirmed to Fenves that big checks were coming if Patterson was gone. 

[OldTimer]

I do think that Texas could do worse that having Mack Brown as AD.

I was a Mack Brown fan even when they fired him as I think they gave him bum rap when they fired him in the first place (even though several posters on this site disagree with me).

But the best part would be the irony of Mack replacing the man that fired him - gotta love UT if they allow that to happen.
