    Ugh. I can't believe I'm engaging a poster a cunt hair away from getting crowd sourced.

    But the answer is, 1) do everything you can to land urban

    If he says no, then 2) go through a formal coaching search, which includes vetting all kinds of candidates.

    The problem is that Urban is the only one coach right now that meet's CDC's defined criteria of what he's looking for in a coach - someone who has built and achieved sustained success at multiple programs. Urban's the only one that is realistically available. I guess we might make a splash and hire Shannahan for a shit ton of money, but he's never coached at the college level so he's far from a sure thing. You could theoretically look at someone like Brady, but I don't think we want to hire someone who has never been a head coach at the college level. Maybe you look at Fickell or Fleck or one of those dudes. You could choose to believe this season was a COVID-related anomaly and give Franklin a shot. None of those options sound very appealing to me, and I'm guessing to most of the fan base. Basically, we're going to be rolling the dice for a third time after crapping out the last two rolls. It's not ideal.

    That was obviously a joke. This isn't the board for you. 

    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.

    It really hurts when you take a post that was so obviously satire seriously...all the while questioning the intelligence of others. 

    Yeah I know it was satire, jackass.

    He's obviously playing 4d chess.  None of us could possibly imagine the strategic moves CDC could have in store.  CDC is so smart his moves are meant to look like he's a normal AD.  But he only acts that way to throw off other competing AD's.  He's that smart.

    Lmao Urban Meyer's arrival is imminent. Jesus this fan base is delusional.

    You don't think Meyer dropping into that living room this week wouldn't change things?  Because I do

    He isn't dropping into that living room so it doesn't matter. Next.

    So what happens if he says no?

    You can't keep Herman now in good faith as all this speculation and social media hounding of Meyer to Texas has completely lame ducked Herman. Any recruits know if he isn't going now he will be after next season pretty much no matter what. But there's no one else worth a shot to go after if Meyer says no, and definitely no one else worth paying the tens of millions to make Herman and his staff go away. 

    By not coming out and saying they're 100 percent behind Herman and calling the social media stuff garbage the AD has put themselves in a horrible position where they've allowed social media to neuter their current coach without any backup plan worth a shit. Unless they feel like a Fickel or Campbell type hire is acceptable to pay all that buyout money and whole new contracts for a whole new staff. Which definitely doesn't seem like it would be to me.  

    that's why you have to lie your ass off and be 100% behind the guy you have under contract publicly even if you aren't behind the scenes. I thought CDC was supposed to know this shit

     

    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.

    At this point I'm not sure your Athletic Department cares all that much about winning football games...as least not as much as making money. The only thing that will get their attention is for that to start to fade. Hopefully your boosters are making it clear if Tom comes back the money dries up. It's the only thing that'll matter.

    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.

    17 days > 10. Just like $12M > $4M. But unfortunately, this^ IS the truth of it. 

    No I'm just trying to counter balance all the bullshit coming from this fanbase. This Urban Meyer shit is a cope.

    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. 

    This. I have no interest in Fickle or Campbell whatsoever. Might as well stick with Mensa.

    I really don’t care about whatever is said at the press conference, but I still don’t understand the logic of not firing Herman until his replacement is a done deal.   Just get him out like we should have done after the OU game.  The rest of the season means nothing (if we even play the games), and his presence is probably a net negative for recruiting even if his replacement is uncertain.  

    Other schools aren’t waiting anymore to fire guys in season, especially now that we have the early signing day.   This isn’t 1970, and it’s not like we’re worried if we fire him without a replacement lined up that we can’t find someone to take the job.  

    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.

    Heard Herman wouldn't - was actually implied couldn't - hold team meeting to inform players.  Meyer found out before takeoff.  Figurative holding pattern...

    Give us a definitive answer, is Urban coming here? Is Tom Herman definitely fired??
