If Texas hired Underwood, that would be on the level of inspiration it took RG to hire Weber.

Let's see. Weber took over a top 15 team. Final AP ranks the previous 7 seasons  had been 19, 22, NR, 21, 4, 13, and 11.  His final AP ranks were 13, 1, 13, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR. 

Underwood took over a team that had not been ranked in a final AP poll for 13 seasons.  His third team was ranked 21st. His fourth teams was ranked 2nd at the end of the regular season.

That’s a pretty bad take imo

Underwood has 1 win in the NCAAs at a high major. He’s not a 40 year old highly coveted up and comer. A guy like Underwood probably makes the initial long-list of candidates Texas would consider. Almost no chance he would make their top 3-4.

Chris Beard or Pitino would be far better hires.

And that’s not a slam on Underwood (IMO), he’s done a fine job. But Underwood is a guy whose name probably gets brought up in the discussion, and gets quickly discarded. There’s a long list of candidates more likely to end up there. Calipari probably gets hired at Texas before Underwood does. Texas defers to no one.

Not that I like the guy or would like the hire, but I would bet that Sampson gets hired at Texas before Underwood.

I can hear the discussion now inside the Texas Athletic Dept. “What about that 60 year old up and comer with a unproven recruiting record and his 1 NCAA win up at Illinois..?”

C’mon guys, this is TEXAS.

Add Nate Oats to the list of coaches more likely to be hired by Texas than Underwood.

Why do only major program tourney wins count? The ones he won at SFA are more impressive that a drubbing of Drexel.

He’s taken three programs to the tourney in 6 years, won tourney games with 2 different schools. His year at OSU they lost in the first round 91-90 to a red hot Michigan team (a trendy dark horse FF contender) in one of the most entertaining games of the whole tourney.

Most likely a top 5-6 seed last year and that opportunity to add more NCAA wins was erased due to Covid.

He’d be in that Underwood, Altman, Sampson category. A name that gets brought up and everyone in the room simultaneously says “Nahhh!”

The fact that you think Texas would eagerly pursue Underwood is cute. Don’t ever change.

The list of candidates Texas is holding almost certainly consists of names like Beard, Pitino, Drew, etc. Texas can afford to buy out any program that would be willing to let their coach leave.

That means guys like Calipari, Wright, and Sean Miller aren’t totally off the table. Underwood isn’t on the level of any of the aforementioned coaches. At all.

Texas maybe would have ZERO interest because they saw how unprepared Illinois was at the start against the Great Porter Moser's Loyola squad and then he did jack squat at halftime to put his squad in a position to succeed against a team that got beat by a PAC 12 team that only got in the tournament by winning its conference tournament?
