There is only one reason Texas takes 3 coaches and 3 years (on the 3rd coach) to turn a program around and OU can do it in 1. (Think Riley's 1st year and Stoops 2nd year as well.) The Texas.

was a will their father, riley, had drawn up shortly before he died in 1997. riley s will specifically said that bonnie could live on that property as long as she was alive. and then when she died, the land would go to the boys. and then there was a small inheritance for connie. and if connie died, then there would be a trust for carl. but the majority of the inheritance went to bruce and johnny. reporter: though the property alone was worth more than $1 million, for the harkey brothers, it wasn t worth a dime because they could neither farm it nor sell it until bonnie died. bruce, especially, seemed to chafe at the thought of that. he said he was the poorest millionaire in san saba county. reporter: local pecan merchant shawn oliver says
was off to college, and bruce was shuttled off to live with his mother in nevada for a while. that left only bonnie s teenaged daughter connie at home. riley never adopted connie. she was an afterthought. she was never brought into the family. this is sounding less like the brady bunch and more like the ewings, every day. you know, it just the ewings without the the culture. you know, it was really just constant drama. reporter: the boys took different career paths. john became a businessman. bruce had a number of different jobs. at various times he was a cop in reno, a medicaid fraud investigator for the texas attorney general s office and a nursing home administrator. along the way he married and divorced eight count em eight women. still, as the years rolled by, the brothers feelings for bonnie seemed to fester. there were a lot of reasons for that, but maybe the biggest one
heated situation. very heated. reporter: that pot had been at a slow boil ever since that day in 1963 when bonnie harkey became stepmother to her husband riley s two boys, bruce and john. bruce and johnny just didn t like bonnie. they didn t like her at all. and so almost from the beginning it was acrimonious. reporter: what form did that acrimony take? bruce and johnny were just rude to bonnie. openly insulting her. reporter: and riley put up with that? let it go. he just let it go. reporter: a lot of blended families have rough starts. but this newly grafted branch of the harkey family tree never had a chance. i don t think riley made a real effort with his boys to say, this is a wonderful woman. i want you to grow to love her like i love her. i think he just said, here you go. reporter: riley seems to have been better with pecans than people. yeah. yeah. reporter: soon enough, john
