It seems that I remember many people were pissed that we didn’t hire Napier.

"Fire the DC and OC yesterday?"

I'm ok with this when the season is over.

Unfortunately, Huepel has never fired an assistant in his entire career, so I don't expect him to make any necessary changes, and that will eventually be his undoing at UT.

It will cost him.

I wonder if his (semi-unwarranted) firing at OU has left him loath to fire an assistant who seems to be trying to do his best.

I’ve wondered the same thing.

Does Lane want to win in front of 65,000 or 90,000 fans each Saturday?

franklin? lol yes please.

got to be lane & i'll be very surprised if he turns them down.

could also try to bring urbs back. he's been tending to his health & family for long enough now.

after that it's eli. they'll have to overpay b/c mizzou understandably loves him & will pay whatev to keep him but that's the game. i guess they could look at the guy at washington too. maybe the az st dude as well.

if it's not one of the above it's probably gone sideways unless i'm forgetting somebody.
