  1. I keep hearing this. Where is this coming from? Has he given an interview that I’ve missed? I heard the same thing about Saban a few years back.
  2. 1. Because they weren’t getting the job done and Herman had no choice lest the calls for his own head become louder. 2. The fired coaches themselves as they weren’t getting the job done. 3. None 4. If the coaches didn’t address/support the social issues, they wouldn’t have any players to take the field 5. We had one of our highest revenue years ever with Strong as the Head Coach for football and Shaka being Shaka. The Dallas Cowboys are the richest franchise in the world despite 5 playoff wins since 1996. There is a huge fiduciary duty to keep Herman. We just paid off the last guy we bought out to hire him.
  3. Take your meds and call it a night
  4. Let’s see... We’re not getting Dabo or Saban. Brian Kelly isn’t leaving Notre Dame nor is Chris Petersen leaving Washington. Lincoln Riley could pull a boss move and flip to Texas, but I wouldn’t count on it. Maybe we can convince Mack to come back? Who fits this bill and why would they want to come to a program where they fire you every 3-4 years?
  5. We didn’t have Saban in 2013. If anything, Saban used us as leverage. Why would Saban leave a Championship level team in a town where he is King to untangle the mess that is Texas football? Especially when he was at the top of the college football mountain at a football powerhouse with no ego spats with his employer? It’s the same reason Dabo to Austin is a ridiculous suggestion. What exactly is Herman recovering from? Mack Brown wasn’t winning the conference on the regular. What standard are you measuring the success of Texas football against? All this “we expect championships” talk is horseshit. We’ve won the Big 12 3X since it’s inception in 1996. Once was a major upset, once was a beating of epic proportions and once was by a cunt hair. Our last title was 11 years ago. Our record against our rival has been shit in the last 20 years. 2004 - 2009 was an anomaly, not the norm. Jimbo isn’t doing shit with aggy. Hiring a coach with skins on the wall doesn’t guarantee success. Meyer has a tendency to coach for a few years and then leave on some trumped up medical issue. I’m more concerned about having to hire a new coach in 5 years regardless of his success or failures because he gets tired of coaching. There is no quick fix.
  6. We seem to hear that refrain a lot. Against BYU. Against Maryland. Against West Virginia. Against Iowa State. Against KSU. Against TCU... All of them seem to have a QB that plays the game of their career against our defense and shit the bed the rest of the season.
  7. I’m pissed that there’s now another thread on the same fucking topic
  8. What period are you visualizing where Texas is an Elite program? From 2004 - 2009 we had a damn good run. ou has won the conference more times in the last 3 years than Texas did with Colt and VY combined.
  9. So Jimbo to Aggy must be paying dividends.
  10. Why not? He can’t throw a long ball. That 6th rd draft for a practice squad spot can’t be more enticing.
  11. Plot twist, Riley goes to the NFL and Urban takes the ou job.
  12. Do we fucking practice special teams?!?JFC it’s been a decade since I’ve been able to unclench my ass cheeks when kicking is involved
  13. As long as they don’t pass, we’re in good shape
  14. https://www.southwest.com/rapidrewards/promotion?f=242bbun6x&clk=5141034&cbid=5141034 It’s something
  15. The fact that you can get 18 Bar S hotdogs for $5 should have tipped you off that your opinion is wrong.
  16. As a Long Islander, I’m frustrated. I’m paying 2 balls and a kidney in taxes without any real benefit from the city. I have to go in the office sparingly. But I could just as easily jump on a plane from Dallas and use points for a hotel as the need arises. (Besides that whole quarantine thing) Wife needs to go to the office about 2X a week. We went to the boardwalk only once during the summer because it’s just sad right now. I have zero motivation to take the LIRR on the weekend to no point or purpose. It’s just serves as a stark reminder of how we’ve fallen. Our house value has increased $178,000 in the last 5 years. That would be great If we were looking to sell.
  17. I had a low bar. It didn’t even touch it.
  18. We bought our oldest a 2020 Corolla last summer. With the care package, which covers bumper to bumper and oil changes for 3 years, I think it was $22K. I’d look at upping your budget a little for peace of mind. A $10K mid-high mileage vehicle will probably have $10K in repairs and maintenance over 72 months if you are financing. The cost almost evens out. I used Carvana to find my Mustang, which I got used. Was pleased with the experience.
