If Twitter is to be believed, we've already hired Smart.
It has also been reported that Patterson has signed an extension to stay at TCU.
Fuck you, Jay Jacobs.
This was our shot. We're 3-9. Absolutely zero risk can be taken. You completely fucked the last hire up on a gamble, and you go for the guy with zero head coaching experience, but by gawd, Saban hired him as a DC.
We are destined to mire in mediocrity. We can't get away from the good ol' boy bullshit. They want a puppet instead of a proven head coach. I know the Dye meddling is supposedly overstated, but it looks like he will get his man this time.
We are our own worst enemy. I expect to be below .500 for a good five years now. Maybe forever.
