Facts. Believe he has two top 20 players signed.

Or he could revert back to his Sam Houston Days

Nobody thinks that will happen. Coaches learn along the way. Vic apparently did.

Yep, in his only HC job before MSU he went 80-110. No way at Texas does anyone think anything like that would happen but it will be interesting to see if he can get Texas to the level he got State. He was given tremendous support by the fanbase at State and had a very rare chemistry here that is not always easy to recreate. I'm not really sure how many people at Texas really even give a crap about their WBB program. Texas can't even get their football program rolling where the entire fanbase cares and they have the largest athletic budget in the country.

Vic a little too old to revert back to those days...

Wonder if he regrets leaving MSU for Texas? I know he had family reasons but if he wants to coach a lot longer, idk if that was the best place for him to go. Like Mullen the table was set at MSU.
I don't wish Vic bad though, what would be the point? He gave a lot to MSU, didn't like the way it ended but coaching changes are never pleasant.

Sort of enjoy watching him go thru the trials of a rebuild, but agree that he will eventually get it done. Doubt he has many regrets about leaving. He can now transfer to A&M when Blair retires which he couldn?t do at MSU due to contract restrictions. Hail State & good luck 2 Nikki & the Lady Dogs.

Yeah and remember we got beat by 60 by a top team and a year later beat that team in Final 4.

He may personally regret it but strictly by facilities and resources he has everything he needs at Texas to be very successful and have a long career there. I?d be shocked if he didn?t succeed at a very level.

You do realize that he is in the neighborhood of 60 years old, +/-, so I would say a "long" career would be a very relative term here. However, I totally agree that he will be successful before he hangs it up.

A decade at any one place is a long career now in college sports, and I suspect Vic will be somebody that coaches as long as his health allows, so yes, he could have a long career at texas.

Texas boosters will provide him all the money he needs to buy players like he did at State. His recruiting class at Texas is already showing they are. He will be fine.
And before anybody gets on here and raises hell about my post- every recruit in the country for the sports of football and basketball gets paid. Baseball recruits also get money in the form of random scholarship money or payments as well. Top recruits dont go anywhere these days without payment. They know their worth

People make under the table payments to women's basketball recruits???
I'd really love to know the profile of the boosters that are that into women's basketball. Parents of former players? Former players that have been successful or married somebody successful? I guess if it's not as expensive then a lot more people can theoretically give enough money to make a difference, but that's still a little surprising to me.

Hold on now.....you're telling me people pay for WBK recruits? I'm gonna have to call BS on that one. 98% of P5 athletic depts. probably don't know when their WBK team is playing much less care enough to set up a network to pay recruits. I sincerely hope we're not doing that and if we are, please revert that money to Leach and Howland

And, this formula is working out so well for the Texas football team!
