  1. And I have a couple of interns combing this thread in shifts to enlighten me. CDC isn’t going anywhere. UM has sailed because the man is done coaching. He has health issues. He tried to ignore them once, then OSU happened. Now he’s happy. Money can’t buy everything, apparently. Herman will be our coach next season. Hopefully this episode scared him. Our big dicks aren’t going to buy him out and end up with Fickle. They swung for the fences and popped out. No shame in that. What do you expect to happen? CDC should be on notice because our top candidate didn’t pan out?
  2. Blow me. UM said no. What is he supposed to do?
  3. They aren’t announcing shit until after the KU game. It’s a fantasy to think otherwise.
  4. We're 100% painted into a corner. Tom knows he is a dead man walking. If UM says no, we aren't going to buyout Herman and insert another up and comer. That means Herman stays at a place where his employer tried to oust him and he has lost support of the fanbase. It would be an awkward situation at that point.
  5. You don’t have this much smoke unless it’s on track to getting locked up. UM doesn’t want to answer questions about speculation. If he wasn’t interested, he would say that he is happy with what he is doing and is not coming out of retirement to quash the speculation. Everyone in the free world know that talks are being had. The bridge with Herman has been burnt to the ground. He wouldn’t want to stay with all this activity anyway. Who wants to coach for a school that tried to oust you and got rejected? So we’re locked in on a buyout. We’re not spending $25 million plus to hire our 2nd or 3rd pick. If this wasn’t getting done, CDC would be a hell of a lot more vocal to save face and reassure our commitment to Herman instead of being radio silent. It would be a huge face plant for this not to happen at this point.
  6. Your dryer is finished. Time to take the laundry out
  7. He should have a Fox hat and a Longhorn hat in front of him.
  8. I’m clueless as to how the search would go, but I find it implausible that we would spend a truckload of $ to buyout Herman’s contract just to hire another mid-tier coach to replace him. You don’t spend Ferrari $ to drive a Toyota Corolla. If UM turns us down, I think it’s more likely that Herman coaches another year. There’s no one else worth spending the buyout $ for. It will get chalked up to COVID. Maybe I’m wrong.
  9. So we pay all that $ to have UM publicly turn us down? We're supposed to see if Fickle wants to be Plan B? Fuck no. You back up the Brinks truck only if you are guaranteed to get your guy. Odds are that Herman will be coaching us next year.
  10. I think there will be a lot of disappointed fans in the next few weeks. Everything is predicated on UM wanting to 1. Coach again 2. Coach at Texas. If he turns us down, we are not buying out Herman's expensive contract for Luke Fucking Fickle. So now we have a contracted coach, that most of the fanbase wants gone, that knows we tried to axe him.
  11. Or it could mean that UM is done with coaching and has said “no”.
  12. Biscuits aren't the question here. It's not burning the milk or flour in the cream gravy.
  13. I'd like to believe that, but the optics of firing a coach with only 2 losses will be considered, things may not happen like we want. What optics? He lost to .500 TCU and a rebuilding ou team with a freshman QB. He should have lost to Tech. 5 out of 7 games were won/lost by 1 score. When you pay a coach $5m+, you are buying wins and larger margins of victories. Herman has consistently failed to deliver. Not to mention, none of our players appear to be coached up outside of Ossai.
  14. They’re not making the playoffs. They won’t even win their division if they win out unless Bama drops 2 games. ND, tOSU, Bama and Clemson will make the playoffs.
  15. The Big 12 really backed itself into a corner this year. Doesn’t really matter to us. We win out and we’re in. Unbelievably, we are in the driver’s seat. We would hold the tiebreaker over everyone but ou, who also has 2 conference losses. But, if ISU’s only remaining loss is to Texas, things get messy. ISU would hold the tiebreaker over ou. But OSU would hold the tiebreaker over ISU. If ou wins Bedlam, they would hold the tiebreaker over OSU, but not ISU. So our opponent would be ou, OSU or ISU. Beating ISU and OSU made the TCU loss irrelevant since they aren’t challenging for a spot.
  16. In the end, I don’t think it means much. Biden certainly has a better Presidential decorum than Trump does. But, Trump will be tweeting non-stop and rallying his supporters. So I don’t think we’re close to revitalizing our image as a country. I’m worried about our Middle East policy and my retirement as the stock market will surely take a dip. This elections shows how divided the country still is. Hopefully we can start unifying, but that’s probably a pipe dream. We’re too far gone.
