1. They're trying. They've offered him an obscene amount of money. They aren't going to fire Herman and risk completely flopping on Urban just because some butthurt fans are angry about the team underperforming.
2. That $25 million buyout is no joke, that money comes from somewhere and I guarantee the buyout is conditional on the basis of landing a Urban Meyer type.
Jesus why is this so hard to understand?
Also Fleck? Fickel? For reals? We might as well just stick with Mensa at that point. I'd be down with Shanahan but I very seriously doubt he comes here or if the boosters want him.
Honestly if you have to fire Herman, go after a Joe Brady type. Try to find the next big thing, that said I doubt that happens and they probably just roll with Herman for another year.
They went & hired Herman (pre CDC) when he was seen as the hot new head coach. They won a negotiation battle vs LSU to do so. Sure Herman has been a bust but still it was seen universally as a solid move at that point.
They're currently offering Urban Meyer 12 million a year. What else do you want CDC to do? Go take Meyer hostage & force him to coach here? They don't want to pay $25 million extra just to a Campbell type of HC. Sorry.
- Urban isn't coming
- Herman will unfortunately be the HC next year due to money
- This fanbase needs to quit getting ahead of itself and stop cheerleading based off Twitter posts
Deal with it.
Urban isn't coming to Texas. That was always delusional thinking by our fanbase. Herman sucks no doubt but why drop $25 million for a PJ Fleck or Campbell type of comer up. Might as well stick with Tom.
