Thought he might leave but seeing as how he won't be playing in the title game and more than likely won't finish in the top two in Heisman voting it is looking more and more like he is going to come on back for his fourth year. After seeing these comments I have crossed back from "he will surely leave" to "he probably won't." Especially if he won't even pursue his draft stock like he says.
Would like to see Gilbert get a redshirt year and learn the ropes.
Texas Longhorns quarterback Colt McCoy will return for his senior season, the Austin American-Statesman reported Monday on its Web site.
"I'm not going anywhere," McCoy told the newspaper.
McCoy, who had previously said he would file paperwork to receive feedback from an NFL advisory committee about his draft prospects, is hungry for a national title after the Longhorns fell just short of a berth in the BCS championship game, the Statesman reported.
"I'm coming back because we have a solid coaching staff," McCoy said. "And I'm coming back because I feel like I can develop the young receivers we have."
Texas finished the regular season ranked third in the BCS standings behind Oklahoma and Florida.
McCoy, a redshirt junior, said Monday he had also decided against testing the waters for the draft or seeking an evaluation for his coaches at UT from the NFL.
McCoy had hinted before that he would stay for a fourth year at Texas.
"I've been blessed to be able to play here," McCoy told The Sporting News in October. "Not very many people get to [start] here for four years, so what an opportunity."
