Willie Lyles tweets sarcastic suggestions for Texas AD

Texas has a problem, and Willie Lyles has just the solution.

Texas is currently have a rough time of things. After an opening 56-7 win over New Mexico State, Mack Brown’s program is in turmoil, suffering back-to-back blowout losses to BYU and Ole Miss, the latter at home.

Luckily, Willie Lyles is here to help! Lyles is a talent evaluator and scout based out of Houston who was implicated in NCAA violations at Oregon. He and Texas have had a rocky relationship for years now.

Major, of course, refers to Texas co-offensive coordinator Major Applewhite.

Lyles then got a bit silly, offering a fictional coaching service for the Longhorns to replace Brown, a play on the scouting service Lyles offered schools like, well, Oregon.

The calls for Mack Brown’s job have begun to rise to a loud roar, as the Texas faithful want a change at the top. At this point, the Longhorn fans may crowdsource the $25,000 and take Lyles up on his offer.
