  3. Is that class of 1883? How the fuck did it take you 3+ years to figure out how to sign up, sir? To be clear, there are some legitimate imbeciles posting on here and even they solved the sign-up problem years ago. Hell, one of those clowns is on this thread trying to move the campus of Northwestern 12 miles with his own special mental retard strength, apparently. 3 years? Wow.

  4. This guy knows how to DAY CREW. You guys are fucking slacking, I don't have time to moderate for 1 day and you are all in here talking about all these other limp dick coaches. We are here to WILL Urban Meyer to Texas. Take your talk about limp dick "Plan B" coaches to the Corching search thread.

  8. He's embarrassed himself during this fall season of coach courting. He's been sent to the kiddie table. If you think that's on the money or the powers that be, who are all pretty fucking bright, I don't know what to tell you. Steve Patterson leveraged the Saban debacle, where the BMDs ran their mouths to too many people and enabled Mack Brown, his buddy Powers, and their faction to fuck the deal up by telegraphing everything. With that fuck-up staring everyone in the face, the money was silenced for a hot minute and we somehow wound up hiring a fucking executive search firm and landed Chuckles, thanks to Patterson's effort. That process, to some/many talking heads and HR people, looks perfectly normal. How did that work out? It's crazy to me that you've been cheering for UT athletics for as long as you have and the fact that the AD isn't alone in the hiring process of revenue-driving sports is foreign to you. Athletic Departments are run by one of five things: 1) The Athletic Director - small schools without an overbearing donor type; a couple of places with their shit together for glimpses like OU in which an AD had been around so long that they're uniformly trusted; a couple of fucked up places, like USC and Tennessee, where the dysfunction is so rampant that it's hard to fathom even as a UT fan. 2) The President/Chancellor - Cal, for one; USC allegedly right now due to item 1 3) The Money - Giants with huge revenue and media coverage - Texas, Michigan, Auburn, UGa, Ohio State, FSU, etc 4) The Coach - Bama currently, in which the AD has to ask to get on Saban's calendar for meetings; Clemson is trending this way; PSU under JoePa 5) Other - The Catholic Church at ND; the academies; Nike at Oregon and UnderArmour at Maryland Any single one of these scenarios can be fucked up in its own right. If all things are equal, give me the one that provides the most flexibility and options - The Money. The fact that Texas can't get out of its own way at times with the Athletic Department is because of weak ADs who can't step up and help focus The Money and The Power. CC was flat-footed this fall and showed up thinking little - we couldn't get the money for UM; we needed to go after James Franklin or Sonny fucking Dykes. He (and you, apparently) was surprised he wasn't going to get to say whatever, do what he thought was best, and have everyone simply trust him because, you know, he made that softball and women's BB hire and people loved him for those. He's weak until proven otherwise from here. He's hired one FB coach in his career. He's worked to avoid firing Herman. He soft-pedaled firing Plonsky. He's proven that he can watch coaching contracts expire and not renew them, but he's not shown that he can even straight-up fire someone. This dude was entrusted to lead the work. He shit himself and whined to the press. Guys used to being in charge don't need to see that movie twice. I don't remember feeling this way. Not saying I didn't say that, but you might be thinking of someone else. I've heard Herman is a fake and many guys see through the act and don't enjoy being around him or playing for him.

  10. We must be in the SEC to win. If we're not in the SEC then we'll never be great like SEC teams or this other team who's not in the SEC but is still great and coincidentally takes a lot of recruits from Texas where we're located. Great post.

  12. I was a student of Hartzell's for several semesters, he was my thesis advisor, and I knew him decently well personally. The guy is an absolute shark. There is no way he isn't in the driver's seat. Whenever he is accountable for something, he wants to knock it out of the park (even if he has to tear down everything and redo it if he has to - see what he did with the business honors program). I seriously doubt he'd let himself be runover because it would be a problem if Eltife failed in that scenario. Trust me, the guy is a gamer. While I have limited insight into the coaching search, as someone who graduated recently and knew Hartzell well, this is the one part of the process I don't doubt.

  13. We can still have "hope" for Urban. It is not dead yet. Our practice field bubble sucks compared even to Texas HS teams. Posters having stomach issues from eating too many McRibs. The night shift has better theme music. I-35 should be demolished near campus or go under ground. CDC may be a card carrying moron and no one knows what role he is playing in much of anything beyond fundraising and the "lesser" sports. HCs may not want to come here because a look under our hood reveals bats and monkey shit.

  15. Nahlin shit the bed with that post. I don't care if that's what an agent actually told him, he has to be more lucid than that. It reads as if he's sleepwalking. They interrupted a game on Saturday on ABC or FOX to highlight the fucking Crystal Conte statement about Herman. There's virtually no other school that gets that kind of silly coverage while being as thoroughly mediocre as Texas has been. CC needs to get money in for upgrades across the facilities as soon as he can, but the rest regarding Texas not being a desirable place to coach is silliness constructed to pander to a self-loathing audience by an agent that thinks he's being funny or enlightened.

  21. I have pretty much been on this thread daily and what has been discussed/posted/heard/intimated: We approached UM. He was interested. All of the sudden he was not. Some 9.95 reports and other posts indicated that he wanted certain things like an Assistant AD for football, etc... and we were not willing to give that? Then it went to UM is declining to take the HC position at this time due to health reasons. Then people were posting etc...that UM was not completely dead in the water but it barely had a pulse. Then it was we are keeping Herman because no one wants to pay the buyout and pay for new unknown quantity of HC if it is not UM. Then CDC statement. Which has already been picked apart. Then it is we have a Plan B (coaches not named UM) and we are actively pursuing and TOM is still DMW. NOW it is UM is still being pursued and it never really stopped (that pursuit) and he has always been in play and there is a good chance>

  23. Very well done speech. Biden accomplished all of the big objectives: Reassured the electorate that they participated in a fair & secure election Thanked the election workers & volunteers for their hard work & dedication Called bullshit on Trump & the GOP's fraud & conspiracy claims Called the citizens to come together, de-escalate the rhetoric, & work together to expedite our pandemic recovery Nice to have an adult speaking for & representing the US again.

  27. Fished the Guadalupe yesterday with a guide by myself. It was glorious. Gf didn’t want to go she thought it would be too cold. I told her to come she rolled over and snuggled with the puppy. I said ok, and went. caught 7 in the net, only one under 12 inches. Hooked another and almost got it in the net but he didn’t take the bait clean so I just couldn’t keep him on. those were the two biggest. They jumped and ran and we had a great time dancing. Had the moment we all want where the world stops, my mind is empty and it’s just me and the fish. Man I love that moment. scenery was great too. finished strong. Gf met me at maudies and I ate josie’s enchiladas and a crispy taco like a fat girl.

  29. Bobby Burton Member Who Talks While there was a public statement of support for coach Tom Herman put forth over the weekend by Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte, high-ranking officials at the University continue to consider various coaching options and are resolved to hold a more thorough coaching search following conference championship games that are to be played this weekend, going possibly until the end of bowl season and the NFL regular season, according to two different sources within the university. “This is not over, not at all,” one university official said of the coaching situation yesterday. A second official told Inside Texas that Del Conte made a mistake in releasing the show of support and that the final statement was “watered down” by other officials. Inside Texas continues to report that Del Conte will not make the decision of Herman’s future in a silo, nor even have the largest sway in the decision to replace him. Instead, it is a group of three, including university president Jay Hartzell and board of regents chairman Kevin Eltife, along with Del Conte. Other factors will contribute to any coaching change, including the money available to the university to pursue such a change created by the contract buyout of Herman and several assistants, which total to around $25 million. While Del Conte has privately bemoaned the amount of money it would take to change coaches and used it as a political factor in any such decision, other universities seem to eschew such problems. Yesterday, Auburn decided to terminate its coach, Gus Malzahn, who is owed a $22 million buyout. Furthermore, Inside Texas has been told that the money is there for the Longhorns to change coaches. Unlike what has been previously reported, Inside Texas is told that the money is there for any number of candidates vetted, not just for Urban Meyer, who was the initial candidate that galvanized alignment from several donors and the three university officials in charge of the decision. Inside Texas has been told that the Horns will look at possible college coaches involved in conference championship games and in the NFL, so long as they have head coaching experience in either the pros or colleges.

  30. None of it makes any sense. In fact, I don’t see much of anything associated to the Texas HC job/replacement making any sense. As such, you could tell me almost anything right now and I’d at least have to consider it. That appears to be the mood of this entire thread, as well.

  32. Thank you for the warm welcome. Apparently the sign up process worked for lower functioning imbeciles and I didn't realize that I needed to just dumb down the process. Similar to how whales communicate via methods that make human speech appear retarded. You would understand that. I'm apparently down at your level now and signed up.

  38. 1) I'll take Brian Kelly's "next step" if it means potentially going to the CFP twice in 7 years, and playing for an MNC before that. 2) ND has academic standards that prevent an even playing field with the rest of the blue bloods and near blue bloods, which makes running the CFP gauntlet unlikely for anyone. 3) Meyer to ND sounds nice, but consider that they don't pay well for assistants and support staff; they're not going to make someone the highest paid coach in CFB; and they're going to scrutinize hiring a guy with Meyer's background through a lens that other schools won't, and that may make him unhireable.
