I don't see how things could possibly be any better. Coach Pierce continued the tradition of greatness at UT from Augie (and Gus before him) and has poured the foundation, and paved the road to many National Championship runs for the new regime--a regime that has already fared quite well at TCU and aTm.
So Pierce rides off into the sunset, with a bag full of $$$$, and the goodwill of the Texas Longhorns--which he retains, despite dumping us, since we got another really good coach to replace him after our loss. We make Omaha 8 out of the next 10 years We play in the National Championship game 4 out of the next 10 years We win the National Championship 3 out of the next 10 years All more than any of our competition.
Is that anything like getting all the ingredients and just needing to bake the cake? Asking for a friend.
