One word. Disaster.
When coaching candidates are coming up that keep on missing the mark that’s very concerning. Troubling.
The main requisite for a TU coach is having established roots or connections to Texas. It’s the lifeblood of the program.
Aside from GJ Kinne, no candidate has deep roots to Texas. Marion has skipped from job to job. Wells has spent the last decade primarily in Utah. Odom’s focus has been in MO, KS, and Arkansas.
We have heard nothing from or about Gillespie in quite some time. The old ball coach may have delayed any communique till after the conference championship, or he may have just taken a pass on the job.
The results at Arkansas this year don’t lend any great confidence in hiring Odom. None. Zilch. Marion? He’s never really held on to a job very long at all. He’s a professional “job hopper”. Look at his resume’.
