  1. Herman will get his 3 years.  However, in year 3 back channel inquires should be made (indirectly), feeling out who is interested in coming for $10-15 million a year.  Then, we conduct a real search led by CDC and advised by football people, not a consulting firm or rich oil guys.  Maybe we get lucky and get a top 5 coach.  Maybe we get another Strong or Herman.  Such is life.

    If anyone remembers this, Herman had clearly said three backs (kind of like Tier 1) in his own presser before Maryland, but Beck kind of kept sneaking in "4 backs" a few times about the running game and I had this sinking feeling...kind of played out how I feared.

    what's hilarious/maddening is they know it's a bullshit move or at least it will be perceived that way.  So they try to hide it from the media and fans.  

    Accountability!!!!  Culture!!!!  Never change!!!!

    Man Beck sounded shook today. Seems like a nice guy but you can tell he's not cut out for the job.

    I would almost feel bad for him if he were not getting paid $800K per year to be terrible at his job.

  4. Cross posting this from the beck thread. 

    Here’s Tim on Herman’s involvement in play calling during the Maryland game and how the crowdsourcing pick a play model works. I don’t see how this could go wrong. 

    “I thought it was great. We communicate things I see up there to him. Things that this might be good right here, or hey, what about this? So does he. He sees the same things. One thing that he has that I don’t is got the feel of them. He can look in their eyes and say, ‘Hey, we’re going to run it here because I can tell the o-line is ready. We’re going to mash them right here. Let's do this. I think it was a great adjustment. It was awesome. We kind of do that anyway. It’s always been that way. You get Drew (Mehringer) and Derek (Warehime). Herb (Hand) is going to say, ‘Run the power here.’ Okay, we’re going to run power. We’re kind of all in that together. As I mentioned before, we game plan, we have a list – here’s third down, here’s what we’re going to call. That’s what we kind of go off of.”

    how could this possibly go wrong?

  6. If you like true crime, Framed is pretty good.  By one of the hosts of Generation Why.  He uses voice actors to reenact scenes, which is a bit cheesy to me, but works OK.  

    It examines the disappearance (and presumably the murder) of a young man in a grocery store about 15 years ago.  In some sense, it's basically a real life locked room or dinner party mystery, where we know the killer is one of two guys or both.  Which is it?  We don't know.  If this catches on, I can see the online debates about this being unending.

    I'm almost done with Season 1 of up & vanished.  It's been tempting to google this story to learn more but I decided to play along and stick to the podcast only.   

    The guy who annoys me is the private investigator that is on the podcast from time to time.  He thinks everything and everyone is in on the conspiracy.  and then when new evidence is presented that conflicts with his opinion, he does a 180 and comes up with new theories.  

    The attorney was a great addition to explain the intricacies of criminal and Georgia law. 

    Up until recently, there was really not much on google about the case.  Then, there came a, uh, surprise.  Pretty cool if you were listening roughly in real time.  

  8. So if you want this guy fired, and you think he is a dickhead ect...
    Are you rooting for Texas over USC or is it like hedging your bets where if Texas loses you will be happy because it's another reason to fire Herman immediately?

    I don’t really care about the outcome of any particular game per se. I want to see improvement across the board from game to game, season to season, in play calling, scheme, personnel decisions, staff upgrade, etc. basically, do we look like we are on the trajectory of a team that will compete for the conference year in and out? I see none of that. Winning or losing to USC doesn’t really make a shit.
