    If we are going to have to fire Herman, I hope we do it early in whatever season we do it in. Then we can create our list, and systematically  throw money at the top coaches until they tell you “no.”  If you exhaust the no brainer portion of your list and no one wants the most lucrative contract in football history, go to the next list that should include the likes of Harsin and Fleck and other promising coaches and interview them to get a detailed plan for how they would win at Texas. Make sure they know that their OC and DC will be the highest paid coordinators in football with multi year contracts and we expect nothing less in the coaching search. 

    Then hire the one who offers the best plan for building the best staff money can buy. There is no point in being the Jones’ if you do not try to solve your problems with money. 

    I agree with everything except firing Herman early in the season.  That is a recipe for disaster and then it becomes big news every time a coach declines your offer.  Look at LSU and the shit show it was.  I think you do exactly as you say behind closed doors.  When you have your guy, you fire Herman.  I hate to say it but aggy executed it perfectly.  They had the Jimbo deal locked up mid season.  

  3. He's the only reason I have hope.  I don't see him firing Herman without a guy locked up.  It may take 2-3 years to get the right guy but I see him making calls behind closed doors to gauge interest of what it will take.  When he gets his guy, he will fire Herman.  I assume he's going to spend the next year raising money for Herman's contract and raising money for a big name guy.  Unless we win 10 games next year, I don't see him keeping Herman.  I don't think he's come here to win 8-9 games.  That guys wants us competing for championships.  He didn't leave good money and good success at TCU to come here to fail.

    Wouldn’t surprise me if CDC were to go for Gary Patterson. Supposedly GP has said he would only leave TCU for an HC job at 4 schools which Texas is one. Don’t know how well he would work at Texas, but I like the way he runs his program. No touchy feely BS.

    I hope so man.  I think he would still struggle with recruiting here with the dirty shit that is going on but at least he can evaluate/develop talent and can coach/game plan with the best of them.  

    Anyone else watch the broadcast last night when they brought CDC on while Tulsa was driving the ball down our throats to make it a one score game?  You should have seen the look on his face.  He did not look happy.  He isn't lost on the fact that Herman is a fraud.  He will publicly support Herman but he's going to be making phone calls behind closed doors if we start out 2-4/1-5.  He didn't fucking leave TCU that's having success in all 3 major sports to come here and fail.

     Agree on all that, and will also point out that having a huge alumni base is a positive. When Mack was here, though, there were a few "golden teams" in college football. There can be some quibbling, but it was usually considered to be UT, USC, Notre Dame, Alabama, Ohio State. 

     That's dated now. If UT starts winning, they're right back up there. However, they struggle with Tulsa, and high end coaches understand that this isn't a one year fix. The insistence that the Horns play at Alabama level, although they're closer to being Tennessee in terms of performance, makes coaches wonder if they'll get the time to make the necessary changes. As far as money whipping someone, yeah, the Horns can do that, but most large programs can money whip pretty well, and we'd have to go beyond money whipping to stupid level money whipping. 

    10 years ago, people were going insane when we were kept giving Mack a raise getting him to 4-5 mil making him the highest paid coach.  We set the market value at the time and other programs had to adjust.  Then bama offered Saban 5 mil because that's what it would take to get a proven guy and matched the market value we set for a winner.  aggy had to match the market value for a great coach and offered Saban level money to Jimbo which is what it took.  If it costs us 8 million to get Chris Peterson, Patterson, Shaw, Dabo, then do it. It's better than fucking offering 5 mil to guys from Louisville or UH.  

    We fucked up big time when we offered the job to Strong over James Franklin.  He's coached at 2 teams from power 5 conferences... both that required rebuilds.  I don't think he's at the level at Dabo, Saban, Meyer, Jimbo, but he's someone that has PROVEN he can make a team competitive that is in the dumps.  If he gets Penn State in the playoff conversation again, offer him 8 mil.  Peterson and Franklin both have successfully rebuilt programs within 2-3 years.  I would load the dump trucks if that's what it takes and if the bigger names all say no.  Fuck... I can't believe I'm about to say this... fucking offer 8 mil to Bob Stoops.  I'm ready to sell my soul.  I can't stomach another 10 years of losing...  I just threw up in my mouth typing that...

  6. There's the obvious two ways to success.  Hire a hot name or a proven winner.  We've rolled the dice twice with going after the hot name in Strong and Herman.  It didn't work out.  That's not to say it doesn't work.  Fucking Lincoln Riley is killing it.  Kirby Smart is killing it.  Peterson is killing it.  It's risky hiring guys without much head coaching experience or from G5 programs but if you hit it right, you're usually set up for success long term as trendy names tend to be younger guys with lots of years left to coach.  We got fool's gold twice.

    The other way is to money whip proven guys like bama did, osu did, and a&m did.  At this point, we can't afford the risk of going after an up and comer as the last two have driven the program into the ground.  This is a major rebuild.  We have more money than any program.  a&m, bama, osu have set new market value for proven winners.  That is what it will cost us to win again.  Sounds insane but the next hire has to be right whether after this season or next.  Offer 8-10 mil a year and make them say no.  Tell them they get a blank check for proven coordinators.  Offer 10 mil to fucking Pete Carrol and tell him he can fucking offer 2 mil to the likes of Brent Venables or Kliff once he gets fired.  Make those guys say no.  The amount of money this program is going to lose in the upcoming years due to people not attending games/stopping donations will dwarf the amount it will cost for a proven staff.  Get hungry proven recruiters that can go toe to toe with fucking Tim Brewster to fill out the rest of the staff.  This program is too broken for unproven guys to fix.  

    Or we can roll with MensaTom and his staff of incompetent guys.  To put in perspective how bad this staff is, I bet you see guys like Mehringer, Warhime, Beck land at lower level G5 programs after being let go here.  No decent coach will hire those dipshits. 

  7. All of those teams would butt fuck us.  Brian Kelly, Harbaugh, and Frost would run circles around Herman.  I think Taggart is extremely overrated and I think FSU is heading for dark times like us.

  8. To be honest, we chose money over future potential.  The pack deal was all but done.  The conference was already on it's last legs with Nebraska, colorado, mizzou with one foot out the door.  Fucking ESPN came in to money whip us with the LHN so they wouldn't have to shell out huge chunks of money for super conferences.  We could have been in the PAC, BIG or SEC.  We could have fucking named the conference and joined it.  I was so excited for us to join the PAC 16 deal.  It would have been Texas, ou, USC, UCLA, Oregon, Stanford, Washington with solid programs like oklahoma state, arizona, asu, cal also in the conference.  Instead we chose the money and stayed in a conference with baylor, kansas, isu, ksu, tcu, tech.  Fuck these schools... I honestly don't think our players even get excited to play half our schedule.  And fuck the LHN.  The content is shit, it requires the coaches to commit more time to useless shit and hasn't helped with recruiting.  All it did was bring the athletic department more money.  I think DeLoss was an amazing AD that brought so much success but this move was purely about money and not about what was best for the fans or the program.

  9. He'll be fine.  He's got the deer in headlights look which we all knew would happen.  I bet we see him become much more consistent and become a solid punter towards the end of the season.  That Aussie punting program is legit and the punters they choose to send to the states have all had decent success.  We're not exactly helping him with blocking either.

    First it wouldn't matter who we put in, save perhaps Vince Young, we aren't winning with this staff calling plays. I'm not saying youre wrong, I'm saying it doesn't matter.

    As to your last question/statement, do you really need to ask?

    Shane isn't hurt.

    Completely agree.  As much as we suck, we actually have enough talent to be an 8-9 win team.  The problem is this staff is getting constantly out coached.  They got out coached by an interim head coach at Maryland and they got out coached by fucking Tulsa.  Tulsa would have fucking won that game had they made their FGs or not had a case of the drops.  I have no confidence in Herman/Beck/Mehringer/Warhime/Drayton to out coach OSU, TCU, OU, WV, ISU.  All those teams have good coaches that can gameplan.  Hell fucking Kingsbury out coached us last year with his job on the line.  I think USC will be a toss up and if we win, Herman is going to sell false hope right before we get our butts fucked by TCU, OU, OSU, WV.  I think ISU beats us this year.  Matt Campbell is a 10x the coach Herman is.  I think we can squeak out wins against USC, KSU and should beat Kansas, Baylor, Tech.  Looking at 6 wins again...

  11. Yeah, I would bet the house Sheppard flips.  He literally tweeted his recruitment was still open the next day after his commitment.  He's also teammates with Demas. 

    We've entered the dark ages guys.  You can't keep selling the future.  After 7-8 yeas of continuous failure with 2 programs on the rise in ou and a&m will bury this program for a while.  Maybe I'm still down from our shit start to this season but I just don't see the light at the end of the tunnel right now.  Hopefully we can steal a game from tcu/ou and beat both usc and ksu.  That's the only way I see us still being relevant in these next two recruiting classes.  If we start 1-5, 2-4.... we're going to be so fucked.  Guys like Jake Smith are still keeping the door open with the likes of Bama... these out of state guys will not go to a failing program.

  12. unreal.... fucking herm edwards is better than tom herman.  

    happy for him though.  he's been very involved with the high school all-star games coaching up high school kids during those weeks.  maybe he's figured out how to run a college program.

  13. Yep... kiss Zach Evans good bye too.  This program is fucked.  Herman has fucking driven it into the ground.  I don’t know how CDC is going to fix this.  Unless we money whip a proven coach and/or start paying players, we’ll be fighting osu, tcu, tech for recruits.

    Make no mistake..

    What you're witnessing here is the net result of Longhorn suckage for the better part of a decade. If we don't restore balance pretty soon it may be too late..

    If aggy wins tonight... we're entering a dark place.  not sure the 80s were even this bad.

  15. Y’all remember when Kyler called Charlie to see if he there would be a spot for him in the roster as a transfer and we said no bc we didn’t want to upset Buchele? Lmao

  16. Why did Sam even audition for this show?  She hasn't played the game one bit.  She quits in every comp because she doesn't feel like trying.  She talks no game to anyone.  Just kick her off the show, she clearly doesn't want to be there.
