Jimbo 2021: Meemaw's Got a Brand New Bag
I hope we hire Urban just so half of Liucci's screeds will be about Texas.

All these negative pieces on Herman do make it feel like the timeline is accelerated for whatever the heck is going on. Is it boosters trying to sully Tom's name? Or is it boosters AND administration laying the groundwork?

I'm on the Urban train because he's available. I'm on that train until Urban makes himself unavailable. It's a much cleaner courtship than having to poach someone.

Mack was a master of withstanding the surge

Mack lost by 52 points once. Mack got shut out with Vince Young. Tom needs to be fired, but I’m not sure last week’s game is even in my top five shittiest Red River Shootouts.

I love nostalgia. Now compare Mack's Red River losses to Chuck-Toms.

So are we talking in the next few weeks? If you're already making that play, then it's a foregone conclusion. Why let him hang around and coach again? I'm asking from CDC's perspective, not ours. I know how we all feel.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2022 - Idiotic Slapfights Unrelated To 2022 Recruiting
Well that's the subtext. What type of offense does a forward thinking coach like Urbs want to run?

Texas Recruiting Notes 2022 - Idiotic Slapfights Unrelated To 2022 Recruiting
I know Ewers is a great prospect that can make most systems work, and I'm assuming Herman won't be coaching him. What type of offense best utilizes his talent?

Urban and a vaccine will clear up what ails us.

I don't think it's about the Eyes. I think it's about an asshole fucking up on multiple fronts and blaming others. Herman seems to think he's in a Mexican standoff, but all the guns are pointed at him.

I know many have hit on this, but my takeaway is that I've never seen Texas sites report on a coach like this. This is new. Bobby is calling for a coach to be fired in October. And one thing we learned about Bobby from the Mack days is that he knows who butters his bread.

If you're not going to take the exercise seriously, then it's never going to work.

It's bound to happen before I die, right? Right...?

He's dragging us into a dumb argument. Saban lives in Alabama... willingly.

Let's not do this. I live in LA, too, and I might look at it differently if I made 8 million dollars a year. Both Austin and LA have their appeal.

You need to look in the mirror and ask yourself why you don't want us to have Urban Meyer. And then you need to not spend so much time on a Texas message board.

Are we assuming Clay Helton shits the bed? Tom has already shat.

If this Urban thing starts to happen, just get ready. Everyone is college football will be hating. How many words do you think Billy Liucci will write about it? Dan Wolken and SEC fans will link arms and sing kumbaya.

Shouldn't he get 3 times as much since he's won 3 more championships than Jimbo?

I could imagine a USC fan writing the inverse of this and it also seeming plausible.

2020 Transfer and Grad-Transfer Available Players
Yeah, and I bet Urban's contacts are more varied and loyal than Tom's.
-
Tom "the turtle" Herman [Lame Duck or greatest 5d chess player ever?]
Ok, it's so disappointing because Tom has done some things well enough that we actually compete in every game. There games in the Strong era where I wasn't sure we could score a touchdown. There were games in the Strong era that were lost in the first quarter. Think about that.

You know he's doing his due diligence and probably finds Texas very enticing. Smart coaches don't want to make things any harder than they have to be. We have a relatively easy path to the playoff. We underperform relative to our resources and talent on hand. He probably is even aware that Quinn Ewers is committed, so a path to a monster initial recruiting class is laid out.
