In what can only be described as work of pure comedic genius, baseball outcast Jose Canseco made a-go at the Texas Longhorns' opening as head football coach.
Using the hashtag #Cansecohorns, the onetime "Bash Brother" outlined what has troubled Texas under departing coach Mack Brown.Well, Nick Saban wasn't interested, so someone had to bid for the gig.
Canseco, a six-time All-Star, played for 17 seasons with the Oakland A's, New York Yankees, Texas Rangers and others. He has admitted to using performance enhancing drugs in a tell-all book in 2005. Since his retirement from baseball in 2001, he has tried boxing and mixed martial arts.
Canseco (@JoseCanseco) explained in his tweets that he knows football more than baseball, and how the real flaw with the Longhorns has been recruiting.
What follows is Canseco's five-phased plan to lead the Longhorns:
So sorry to hear about Mack Brown. hug for u buddy
Hey Steve @stevepatterson you need a huge name for huge job buddy. I know football even better than baseball.
Hey Steve @stevepatterson Here is my plan to fix Texas football.
First the lines are weak. It is our foundation and must be stronger. I know what to do. #Cansecohorns
Second what conference are we even in now? Just join the SEC already #Cansecohorns
Third why have we had all these 5'9 QBs with weak arms? Go get another Vince Young #Cansecohorns
Forth hire the Baylor recruiting coach he is killing us. #Cansecohorns
