has this been posted yet? THIS is the coaching search you will tell your grandchildren about.. .not last one.

Ketch's list

1. John Harbaugh (Baltimore Ravens): His contract expires after the end of this season and the Ravens do not look like a playoff team at this point. With a Super Bowl ring on his finger, he could be looking for a new challenge in his career and if the Longhorns wanted to break the bank, Texas could make him an offer Baltimore might not want to match. He's making seven million a year in Baltimore. For those wondering if he would do well in college, I've told this story before, but I was around him for an hour in Baltimore a couple years ago when he spoke to 100 of the best high school players in the country and by the time he was done, he had those kids eating out of the palm of his hands. You'd never have to worry about a team being well-coached and not being great at the details ever again. Be bold and dare to be great.

2. Chip Kelly (San Francisco): The constant speculation about his return to college football won't go away and if there's an interest in a return, Texas should at least explore it. Yes, he's got a little bit of dirt on him after his stint at Oregon, but he's in a tier just below Urban Meyer and Nick Saban. That's it.

3. Chris Peterson (Washington): It's possible he'd be impossible to pry away from the Huskies, especially in the middle of what might be a special season, but if you're Texas, I think you have to make the call and potentially make him say no. The man is regarded as all class and he's a proven winner.

4. Dabo Swinnney (Clemson): I used to be a Dabo Doubter, but he's moved himself up into the near-elite category of coaches with his recruiting and on-field performance over the last few years.

5. Tom Herman (Houston): All of the pieces seem to be there, but if you're Texas, are you really going to hire another non-power five coach with a very short record of success as a head coach? He recruits lights out, he's a great offensive mind/developer of quarterbacks and he checks a lot of boxes, but he does not come with a guarantee on the box.

6. Gary Patterson (TCU): He's the coach that Charlie Strong is supposed to be.

7. Chad Morris (SMU): A future power fivecoach at some point down the road. Hecoached circles around Herman this weekend

He left off Bret Bielema.

The way I see it, it's less than 25% chance that the next head coach is even on that list.

The most insane name on that list, which is insane in itself, has to be Gary Patterson. He is going to have that stadium in Fort Worth named after him eventually.

The only people on that list that wouldn't out right tell the sips to go **** themselves are Herman and maybe Morris.

So that's it, sips. Good luck.

They can't afford his buy-out.

Well, if they are set on following our footsteps and they have their Fran as we speak... that means they should be looking for an ex-NFL coach who will coach teams to a good first half lead and then blow it in the 2nd half. What does the list of candidates look like now?

They could do a LOT worse than Morris.

Way to not have a black candidate you racist gravity well.

Good to know you're putting texas' core values to work with your list.

Other thoughts:

Ketch is going out on a limb by not being a Dabo Doubter any more. Perhaps the coach that's had his team in the top-10 for the last few years is good? What a risky take.

"Make him turn us down" is the same crap that got you laughed at by all of your targets last time around. They eventually made Charlie Strong turn them down, then get talked back into it.

Didn't they bark up half these guy's trees last time? How will this supposedly work any better?

Morris and probably Herman are the only names on that list that are attainable. As for the others, the sips will "make them say no" just like last time.

Be bold. Dare to be great.

Ketch's list

1. John Harbaugh -- EL OH EFFING EL.

2. Chip Kelly -- Same as John Harbaugh.

3. & 4. Chris Peterson & Dabo Swinnney Both of these coaches have great stability where they are at. At best, the sips are a means to a pay raise.

5. & 6. Tom Herman & Gary Patterson -- both fairly "meh" names at this point.

7. Chad Morris -- may actually be realistic

You mean it's an 8.5/10 chance he's not on the list?

That ketch is a sly manatee. He's holding back the real number 1 choice.

Notice this list stops at 7--one spot before the coveted position to be in.

They would simply because they have made it clear that their schedule is full.

Riveting.
Horns that pay attention to him are the reason we sit at the big table and they are looking for a floor seat next to the children's table.

Just a thought...but, isn't Saban or Belichek (sp) their 100 year decision?

Ketch isn't going to list someone who could out-eat him.

I like how he was "around" Harbaugh for an hour and he knows he is the answer. First of all, when Ketch is in a room he ain't "around" anyone. Fat *****er has his own gravitational pull. Secondly, he tells all of the 9.95'ers that story like he gained some keen insight from being one(third) of 300 people in a room when Harbaugh spoke.

This has to be one of the most thought out, long play trolls in the history of the internet. Just has to be. That or he is a con man.

Before the Tom Herman phenomenon, I always thought Chad Morris would be their next coach.
