Klatt describes why he thinks the UT job is the best in the country.

Klatt for head coach!

Sounds like he has finally shaken off the cobwebs from the big hit in the 2005 Big XII CG. I keed, he is actually good on the game broadcasts. It would be easy for him to be anti-Texas after that game and the one earlier that season, a la Aaron Rodgers still being a titty baby. But, he is very objective and seems to have a lot of respect for Texas.

Chris Fowler, also a CU alum is right with UT. Leading up to that historic USC-UT Rose Bowl on the ESPN Game Day panel, he complimented HornsFans posters for that famous thread of USC against the 300 of Thermopalye, etc, chuckling at how we all turned the skeptical press into humor

Good Buffs, boff of 'em.

FYI, CU is in the top 25 this week.

Still classic stuff.

As Sabre pointed out in another thread, Mack Brown was remarkably able to unite all of the factions of the fan base, and once he did that, winning 10-11 games a year was a snap. But the "politics" of this job make it more of a CEO position than a coaching position. The same situation exists at tOSU, Michigan, ND, Oklahoma and Bama. These are the best and the worst jobs in the country. Winning, without running at outlaw program at this level is tough.

It's like Barry said in "Bootlegger's Boy", "I didn't create the monster, they just hired me to feed it".
