I'll take an unbeatable UT in exchange for a terrible Baylor, thank you very much.
Texas should be able to do better than Strong. What has he done beside ride Bridgewater's coattails?
Pat Jones brought something about Briles to UT that scares him. It's not just Briles having UT's talent. It's that Briles is so liked and admired in Texas HS coaches. Part of it is they will protect their good players from A&M for him. The other big thing no one is talking about is how honest they will be with him. He'll get honest feedback form a players coach and opposing coaches about who is a hidden 3-star gem in a bad situation and who is a highly touted fraud that is a result of their situation and surroundings. He'll have probably the best recruiting and scouting system in the best state any college coach has had in a long, long time.

He just isn't that scary and I don't know why everyone constantly shits their pants over him. He's very good, but certainly not scarier than Gundy or Stoops.That being said, it is best for the conference if he stays and a different top-flight coach goes to UT.
Would Baylor want the Pirate?

Can you imagine Briles with Manziel or Winston? He offered both of then at Baylor and would have got either of them at UT.

Manziel and Winston both said they wanted to play at UT but Mack tried to make them CB.
Winston said he wouldve gone to UT if they offered, so it prob means at least something.

briles is the easy and obvious choice if you're are texas. offering anyone else before him (minus saban or urban) would be stupid.
