WCHusker Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I would be surprised if they passed on him unless it came down to $$$$$$. Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 TT just asked Baylor permission to talk to Briles.... I still think that they want Briles, but may feel pressure to hire within. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Saw somewhere that Briles has a $4 million buyout if he leaves. Quote Link to comment
WVhuskerXX Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Would be a great hire for TEch Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Local (omaha) sports talk radio just mentioned that "everything" they have heard points to Ruffin McNeil being named HC very soon. They did mention the other candidates, but said that Ruffin "nailed" interview and that he is already "in house". In their opinion, McNeil will be the next HC at TT. Quote Link to comment
NoKoolAidForME Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 If Ruffin gets the job great for him. IMO if you hate the way Leach behaved I would think you would want to clean house. Some of those bad habits may have we observed and tolerated by the coaching staff. i know the head man calls the shots. I would think that one of those coaches could have went to Leach after the storage of Adam James the first time and said something. Something like aye coach you know putting him in there was not a good idea. Otherwise you have a bunch of puppets with no backbone. If in his interview he says I think Leach acted appropriately he probably wouldn't be hired. If he says it was completely wrong why didn't he say anything at the time. Quote Link to comment

According to the TTU boards, there are several players who are gone if Ruffin doesn't get it. Quote Link to comment
WVhuskerXX Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 He is def a players coach Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 He is def a players coach I agree. I was impressed with his post-game interview after their bowl game. Seems like a good coach who cares about the players. Quote Link to comment
Nexus Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 McNeil makes the most sense, but I was predicting that Sonny Dykes would be up for it. It probably didn't help Dykes chances after the way NU dismantled his O in San Diego. Quote Link to comment

I agree but at the same time, the conference needs TTU (and all the other B12 teams for that matter) to at least be competitive. Quote Link to comment

Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I think that's actually a pretty good hire for them. Quote Link to comment
