  1. Is Kyle unobtainable? No. Is he likely?? maybe. Is he exactly what this board has been saying they don't want----ie a sudden flash in the pan hot coaching commodity without longterm success? Yes. Is it completely unbelievable that he would dump the NFL for College?-No--see Jim Harbaugh. Will it happen? probably not.
  2. This board......Urban isn't coming and we should just quit playing football to we might be hiring Shanahan.......
  3. Agreed. Although I didn't realize it while watching, if you look back Tom turtled hard the 4th quarter of the Sugar Bowl.
  4. Man the longer this drags on the more I want to kick myself for being excited when we came back against Tech............it's possible this is already done if Tech had just finished it....
  5. Didn't ya'll read the news coverage after the Baylor game? Texas righted it's ship by beating that tough baylor opponent.......*barf*
  6. Mack got well compensated for his work here. Then he got lazy and burned out and was allowed to collect his salary while basically doing nothing. He could be pissy sure. He could also be a professional and not try to completely sabotage the program on his way out the door. Tom Hicks himself thought he was doing Mack a favor since he was burned out. Lots of people pour themselves into something and don't try to burn it to the ground like a high school kid when it is time for them to step aside.
  7. Sorry I think I was meaning to reply to @Fastbreak with that reply not you.
  8. I don't know, maybe there is a group of players that love him, but at the same time, we have heard from almost the outset how much his players don't like him and how often he has almost lost this team for me to believe the team in mass loves him. Then again, I can remember being extremely defensive about my dad complaining about my high school football coach so who knows.
  9. Really? Ya'll think his season hinged on OU and that choice? Was going for 2 all of a sudden going to make him a competent coach and his teams be well coached and disciplined? NO. We got beat in "HIS YEAR" by the worst OU team in 22 years or more and it took Sam going superman to get us there. Beating OU in overtime would have been nothing more then the comeback over Tech. A mirage that prolonged the suffering.
  10. It's not just this year though. He was very nearly fired at the end of last year and was supposedly given his marching orders to save his job or not when he got to redo his staff. The team is worse this year then last year. In every capacity. It isn't just practice it is everything about this team.
  11. That would depend...if suddenly getting pissy because Tom Hicks tells you that he has an agreement in place to bring Saban in as your replacement so you can ride off into the sunset and you scuttle the whole thing....then on top of that when you know you are leaving, you waste all of the head coach in home visits so your successor won't have any....
  12. I don't know why this keeps getting posted? Most people that enjoy that level of success or reach that pinnacle point learn how to be one thing in public and something completely different in other settings. Guess what... Saban is capable of being a total ass when he wants, Urban as well, I'm sure Dabo is same, as are Harbaugh(both of them), Jimbo, Malzahn, etc etc etc. Jimmy Johnson is a total waste of a human being outside of being a football coach 20+ years ago. I can't speak to Coach Royal ( only met him once) or Landry or others further back, but I will reference what James Street said in regards to Royal. "His door was always open for you, but you never ever wanted to have to walk through it." Lots of people that are "beloved in public" and highly successful are total ass hats in private. Tom's issue is that he's a total ass hat all the time.
  13. um....Isn't Chips buyout like $9 million? I know that is what UCLA has to pay him if they fire him early.
  14. Just gonna say, while I like the band....if it is a choice between EOT and the band....drop the band.
  15. CDC is gonna enjoy telling Herman this after all this crap is over...whether its Urban or not....
  16. I don't know....but CDC strikes me as the type who double dots his I's and double crosses his T's. I would reckon if he gave the coaches a directive that they will have the players stay for the eyes and all that, I would bet there is a written and dated version of that directive somewhere. If TH is truly as unlikeable as it seems, it shouldn't be too hard to find players/staff who would be willing to report him giving contradictory information to the players from what CDC gave to him. If TH was winning 10-11 games a year and competing for a NC every year would this be an fireable issue....no. But that isn't the situation. As for Ketch and his pile of garbage...I seriously thought he was about to try and discredit and smear Reese to defend his report. OH.....and the only image I have of Ketch that is associated with Jurassic Park is:
  17. I will state that was one person's comment on the situation. I hadn't seen anyone else say it. I can believe Dabo might not have been interested in James, but Dabo recruiting is on a whole nother planet compared to Tom's so yeah.
  18. Supposedly Texas told him they would take him as a walkon but not a scholarship offer. At the time I didn't believe Herman was dumb enough to state that but who knows.
  19. I don't buy the player excuses. How do you not know your QB is out on the field by himself after he basically willed you back from being down 35 to 17 to overtime. At least a couple of players should have been aware he was out there. I am not saying there is some big rift in the team.....I am just saying I think the team is done and has quit, they just don't care anymore.
  20. Supposedly Blake didn't like Herman and Hand's evaluation of whichever Brockermeyer plays center. So they continued to string Texas along as Blake made the recruiting process about himself and what he could get out of it even though he had told people in private neither of the boys would play for Tom Herman. Once Clemson also backed off being interested in recruiting both of them it was a foregone conclusion they were going Bama but they kept stringing Texas along and cost them an opportunity to recruit backup options. In addition it has been rumored that they have actively recruited against Texas and in certain circles Blake and Mrs. Brockermeyer made asses of themselves about Texas in general. That is the 3rd hand gossip I put together from this site anyway. Do with it what you will.
  21. After this I am done with the EOT. What do you do for a living? Just curious? If you work for someone or a corporation, you don't see most of the money that said employer brings in either. Yet you are expected to operate and conform to expectation of said employer. Just like the players are expected to pass class and not test positive for roids and such. Everyone has expectations they have to conform to. This is no different. The golden rule. He who has the gold makes the rules. Is the EOT the reason that Tom should be fired? No, but if it ticks CDC off enough to do it, if it gets some rich old blue hair mad enough to go after Tom when the other issues with the program aren't then so much the better. It's one more log on the fire. I am done with the EOT discussion going forward we have a giant thread for it.
  22. Just because on a certain level I agree with Blake's opinion of our illustrious head coach doesn't mean as a fan I agree with what he did regarding my school so FTB. Maybe Blake can be on that plane with Tom, Chip, and whoever else was on it earlier in this thread.
  23. Is Tom Herman Fired yet............has anyone posted fuck the brockermeyers in this thread yet.
