That is the Tim Floyd/Mike Price argument. It’s dumb. If we have a good coach and achieve success and they leave; that is better than retaining mediocre coaches and results. UTEP is a stepping stone program. Embrace it.
Coach Terry to UT?

Yeap. "If other programs don't want our coaches then we have the wrong coaches." Something like that is what the UNT AD said.
Maybe Wilson will hire BCG as both AD/Head BB coach? I'm joking a bit, but that doesn't mean I'm not on team Billy Clyde.
Terry’s silence confirms his interest in joining the staff at UT.
100%. As long as they’re not leaving for NMSU, UTSA, Ball St, La-Monroe, SJSU, etc. It hurt when Billy, Doc, and Barbee left, but they all went to bigger schools. Maybe one day a good coach will fall in love with El Paso and UTEP will pay them close to what they’re worth to stay, but that’s unlikely.
You think? I know I wouldn’t say shit until some kind of agreement is reached...or not. I don’t think he’s going to publicly confirm “interest” in a job until he has it in writing. Nor would he deny interest until it no longer is a possibility. Just my thoughts on it.
I look at it like he should say “I’m the UTEP head coach and not interested in being an assistant coach at this time”.
Meh, I don’t see a point in that...unless that statement is true. The dude isn’t hell bent on endearing himself to the utep community at this point.
He is very stubborn. I could see him sinking with the ship. Then again this is a nice opportunity for him to go back to his roots and get a fresh start. Ogden is a wise man. He saw it wasn't working out in Arlington and took the job. Terry would be smart to follow. More money less responsibility and a chance to be part of something historic.
I was completely unaware that CRT’s first run in Austin lasted 9+ years.
It’s almost like home. He should go home.

Maligi has an excellent reputation as a recruiter in Texas.
Look, I could be wrong, but I’m just not feeling it.
Beard is looking at kicking some ass for the next 10 years. I think he wants young, hungry coaches.
Terry is on the downside of his career.
Terry is probably using the rumors to fool Senter into giving him a huge raise. Senter is incompetent enough to boost his salary to 800k.
The longer this goes with no word I'm becoming increasingly worried Terry is using this to negotiate a raise an extension. It seems like a preposterous idea. However, we all know Senter is an idiot. Any other AD in the country would tell Terry to GTFO. We all know Senter is f***** stupid. I hope to hell I wrong but this is something so insanely stupid that it's right in Senter's wheelhouse.
Haha. I can already imagine the press conference. "It wasn't easy to outbid Texas but I'm proud to announce we have signed Terry to a lifetime contract and new salary that will see him as one of the highest paid coaches outside the power conferences." - Senter
Miner fans all around the world 🙄
.....and lifetime lease from Porsche of El Paso or Land Rover or Jaguar, you get the point. Hey why not? Price got the same and he chose a Hummer at the time.
Seems to me the longer this thing drags out, the more likely CRT is to stay put. Get that damn contract signed, UT.
Beard must be thinking to himself why the f*ck did I even offer him this opportunity. From listening to his press conference he seems like a guy you don't make wait. I wouldn't be surprised if he moves on before Terry says no.
Do we know that he offered? I thought this was speculation the whole time. Either way, Terry is in a very situation at UTEP now.
Odds are he did. They have a close friendship from what I've read. The speculation came from outside EP. So it's not just wishful thinking from local media and fans.
Wait, so Terry was considering leaving us to become an assistant at Tulsa. He's gone. He wants out.
