Yup. Looks like we're going to have to hit a homerun in the portal. Harold Perkins released his top 3 with us in it but you already know he's going to the Aggies.

Aggie is paying above market value in attempts to have one of the best classes ever.

Nahlin says Gary Patterson to UT is back on:

Rumblings of Gary Patterson joining UT in some capacity

IT is hearing rumblings Gary Patterson will join Texas in some capacity.

The fabled TCU coach was let-go midseason after choosing pine box over parade. That was a very Gary Patterson way to go out.

As soon as he was out speculation emerged regarding him ending up at Texas. The connection of course being his close relationship to Texas AD Chris Del Conte. Those two are so close many suspected Del Conte would never leave TCU while Patterson was still the head coach.

Given his first in-season freedom in eons, Patterson was soon spotted in Austin. Sources quieted that down by saying there was nothing to Patterson and Texas. We were tracking it just in case, but then @BobbyBurton heard Patterson coming to Texas was very unlikely.

This is from Bobby this a.m.: “A mea culpa on my part. Two and a half weeks ago, Coach Patterson told someone I trust that he wouldn’t be going anywhere next year, that he wasn’t “moving.” That being said, things can and do change.“

Indeed, at the time I also heard it was just too close to his TCU tenure for Patterson to assume a role at Texas, a school he relished in beating while captain of the Horned Frogs.

As Bobby said, things can and do change. It probably didn’t sit well when SMU’s head coach was assigned Patterson’s office.

But still, Gary Patterson and Texas?

Yesterday IT asked someone extremely close to Patterson if they could see him at Texas. His response, “Yes. He would take a DC job where he thinks he could win national championship.”

Say what you will about UT’s chances to win a National Championship under Steve Sarkisian, but IT knows Patterson thinks highly of UT’s head coach.

If this does happen, two first-order questions remain: 1. Is this something Sark truly wants, and 2., what role would Patterson assume?

1. We’re not sure about Sark’s feelings but we know he’ll have the money to get it done if he wants to. This is the big question remaining.

2. We’ve heard potential roles being everything from analyst to being in charge of the whole defense. We think analyst is highly unlikely and would be a foolish move.

To be clear, we have heard of no current defensive coaches being removed and it’s conceivable Patterson‘s know-how in the back-end could be married to Pete Kwiatkowski’s defensive front.

Patterson would also bring some much-needed toughness and aggression to the program, not unlike Will Muschamp in 2008.

It remains to be seen if this goes through, and exactly what his role would be, but the title is certainly accurate.

Not sure if any of you caught the above post before I edited it but I was basically saying Ewers was going to battle for QB2 at TOSU before possibly transferring in the Spring. As soon as I hit send I literally got word he was transferring.

But you know what, I can't even let myself get excited about the possibility.

I'm weary about going after Ewers, because I don't want to lose Arch Manning. Plus, I have a feeling Ewers is going to fleece A&M for a couple million and end up there anyways.

Since Ewers reclassified there is more separation between him and Arch. Ewers would be NFL eligible after Arch's freshman year. Also Ewers is the more talented player IMO so you can't pass on him for a kid that isn't even committed to your school. Also I'm almost sure A&M would be willing to drop top $$$ for Ewers. So can't discount them.

 

[dtownreppin214]

Who cares about Arch. Just get Ewers and worry about that shyt later.

Steve Wiltfong and Dennis Dodd join CBS Sports HQ with a reaction to Quinn Ewers leaving Ohio State and where he could end up playing next. #CollegeFootball #QuinnEwers

According to this CBS Sports clip from last ight, Texas Tech is confident about getting Ewers. They think they have better than 50% chance.

I said I believe Ewers WILL end up at A&M. He's going to get a couple million from them and go there probably.

Why the hell would Ewers go to Texas Tech?

Ewers??
