Del Conte changing Texas, and not coming after TCU ... yet | Fort Worth Star-Telegram

In a matter of months, it's apparent that Texas found the right person to be their next DeLoss Dodds and lead the giant, organized mess that is Bevo's athletic department.

The scales are different, but what former TCU AD Chris Del Conte is doing at Texas has countless similarities to his tenure in Fort Worth, from the sweeping construction plans for stadiums to handling the uncertainty surrounding his basketball coach. And possibly even his football coach.

The specter of a few more ish seasons in Austin from its two money sports has a lot of good people in Fort Worth fearing that the old boss will call his former TCU coaches and summon Gary Patterson and or Jamie Dixon to the state capital.
