    It wouldn't be a good look if Urban turned us down and then takes the Jags job. 

    https://www.bleacherreport.com/articles/2925120-urban-meyer-reportedly-expects-to-replace-doug-marrone-as-jaguars-head-coach

     

    Seems very reasonable that Urban would take an NFL job over Texas. The top nfl coaches salaried are higher than Top college coaches. I suspect Herman would be paid the same or better at the nfl level than UT. I could see him saying I have won 2 championships at 2 different colleges. I want to test my self at the highest level of the game in the NFL. Hell maybe they throw in a GM tag too.  
     

    if I am guessing, it is most likely he was coming to Texas until the NFL called. It explains the UT confidence and then the sudden reversal.

    Anyone gloating about people in this thread setting themselves up for disappointment never really understood the point of this thread.

    Sure, we all really did want urban meyer to be our coach, but after the news broke that he said no hopefully most of us knew it was an extreme longshot at best.

    It was still fun in a time when not much and texas football has been. In the end, the only outcome that I would've been unhappy with is Herman returning, and that's not happening.

    Hopefully sark can give us more than a ridiculous thread to enjoy about texas football, but for the tail end of this shitty season this has been a fun distraction regardless of the outcome.

    All true.

    I think what bothers many on here is the number of “insiders” that continued to confirm he was coming after the “no”. Debeasy stuck by his reporting of the no and is safe in my book. The others (caddox orange 1 and reneg (or something like that) among others should be called out for their lies or at a minimum admit they have shit sources.

    Lol

    Caddox probably is referring to the “insider” post on orange bloods that is taking off. Says the answer is a firm no with pages of idiots arguing insider credentials. Sua Sponte jumps in with his “it’s not over” according to his source. Many know Sua and can judge for themselves on his credibility.  I will say if he knows something in real time many others would know  as well  

     

    i suspect the OP on orgebloods just took the post from Tiger droppings and used it as their inside info. 
     

    NFL job would explain the abrupt “no” from a few weeks ago after such positive BDE. And I won’t rely on a Shelly Meyer interview to be solid intel.

    This is where it really doesn’t make sense. He said he didn’t want to coach again. Of course, you can tell he does want to coach again so maybe he just said that, rather than air what he didn’t like about the Texas job. Not sure.

    Thanks. This would also debunk the “health reasons”.

    The only other data point, which may not matter, is that I know he turned the job down before the flights. It’s my understanding the frenzy of activity was as a result of him saying no the first time.

    It would mean that Fat Ketch (or other 9.95er) did not play a part in the turn down. But maybe that is not what CTJ was implying. 

    Any explanation given on why the turn down?

  6. I think it’s pretty clear that UM is not lined up and is unlikely to ever be lined up.   Denial is comforting though. 
     

    On the plus side, I strongly believe Herman is gone. The CDC statement fiasco was likely a (failed) attempt to buy time to start a coaching search outside of UM from scratch as we thought he couldn’t say no. 
     

    that is why I want to hear the reason we were so sure and why we were so wrong.

    Urban Meyer declined the offer. That happened last Sunday. Obviously Texas is still trying but that is not new information. Only delusional fans on this thread somehow missed that news. 

    Has there been a clear, understandable and believable reason why he turned us down?

    Maybe I should, but I find it difficult to accept the “health” reason after a long courtship since the OU game. Also do you really kick the tires on staff if you pull the plug based on health?  Seems that bridge would have been crossed much earlier in the process.

    From reports it seems like he wants to coach again.  Unfortunately I am not buying the grand conspiracy of he has accepted and waiting for OSU season to end.

    At the end of this, would like to know what caused the sudden reversal after what seems like a no brain  decision is to coach again for the money being offered.

    Had confirmation on Monday 🤐

    I believe you also claimed in your first post here that Herman would be fire Saturday after KSU. That looks unlikely at this time- agree?
