Wikipedia says he retired as head coach but held an athletic admin position ther until 1980. Before my time and not a horns fan, but I would think it was mutual step down and not a force out. They named the stadium after him afterall.

Nope. Sometimes it doesn't come through in a post....

If you read my posts long enough, you will see I have a dry sense of humor...For example, in an earlier post there was a link to a middle school coach applying for the Ole Miss job. I found it quite funny that his slogan for the Ole Miss Rebels, if he got the job, would be,"Hotty Toddy's wit dem bodies"............

No problem Spud. I actually enjoy most sarcasm and dry humor. It's occasionally hard to decipher when read.
I read your post regularly and all is well. ??

Look at his record, year after year. Bowl games almost every


Jul 22, 2017, 9:14 AM [ in reply to Partner....it was joke....*** ]

year,and that was back when you only had about 10 or 12 of them. Not like now, when the occasional losing record team goes bowling....And then, 5-5-1...no bowl, next year Fred Akers is coach..

Royal was the era I grew up in. It was Texas versus Nebraska, Texas versus Oklahoma,Texas versus Arkansas....every week, it seemed like Texas was the game you got to see on TV. Clemson was Never on TV back then NEhhhhver.

Maybe the board elders can enlighten us, but DKR's record as a college headcoach was 16-14 with one year at Washinton and two years at Miss St. before his stint at Texas. Add in the fact that he played at Oklahoma it seems like the hire would have been unusual/questioned by the fan base.

Also surprising is the longhorns finished 6-4-1 in the first season under DKR that included a trip to the sugar bowl and a final ranking of 11th by the AP poll.
