This guy wasn't too shabby either: Bruce Chambers
Tight Ends (North Texas) One of the most respected high school coaches in Texas for 14 years, Bruce Chambers has continued that success at The University of Texas. Chambers begins his first season as UT's tight ends coach after spending the past five years working with the Longhorns running backs. CAREER HIGHLIGHTS Chambers joined the UT staff from Carter High School in Dallas, where he helped coach one of the state's most successful football programs for 14 seasons. He was the head coach and athletics director during his final two years and also taught speech and journalism classes at the school. In his 14 seasons at Carter, the Cowboys advanced to the state playoffs each year, won the 1988 State Championship, reached the state title game twice, earned four regional titles and claimed 13 district crowns. In his first five seasons at Texas, Chambers has coached three of the nine 1,000-yard rushers (Ricky Williams, 1998/Hodges Mitchell, 1999-2000/Cedric Benson, 2001) in school history and is the first position coach since Fred Akers (with Roosevelt Leaks and Earl Campbell in '73 and '74-75, respectively) to have two different backs earn first-team all-conference honors in three consecutive seasons (Williams, 1998/Mitchell, 1999-2000). He has had a 1,000-yard rusher in each of his five years at Texas. PLAYER HIGHLIGHTS Ricky Williams, RB - NFL, New Orleans Saints, Miami Dolphins. Heisman Trophy Winner, posted the fifth-highest rushing total in NCAA history (2,124 yards). Earned Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year honors and first-team All-America honors. Hodges Mitchell, RB - Earned first-team All-Big 12. Became only the eighth running back in UT history to rush for 1,000 yards in a season and the first in school history to rush for 1,000 yards and tally 300 receiving yards in a single season. Cedric Benson, RB - In 2001, Benson became the first freshman in UT history to rush for 1,000 yards and was tabbed the Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year, the Longhorns Offensive MVP and third-team All-Big 12. His 13 UT freshman records were topped by his 1,053 rushing yards, 12 rushing TDs and five 100-yard rushing games (all in a row). Currently ranks 11th on UT's career rushing list (2,346 yards).

Fobbs was the best black coach in the big 12 that we hired.
I don't think that big 12 coach was one of the criteria. I do think that she wanted somebody that was familiar with black college football, i.e. somebody that could understand those forwarded e-mails you get about "you know you went to an hbcu if..." At least that's what she said.
Carr doesn't fit that bill.

What about Chambers? He didn't go to a HBCU but he was the head coach at a highly-successful all-black high school.
Dallas Carter was the team that beat Odessa Periman in "Friday Night Lights."

OK, somebody remind me again why we didn't pick Carr? Because Doug Williams told Todd to pick his boy...that and Fobbs came from I-A...which is of course the most important thing you want when it comes to selecting a coach for a struggling I-AA program. Its the cure for what ails ya. |

You're probably right Freeze, but since we're playing "lets pretend we don't have a coach" why not dig this guy up and interview him?  |
