  1. TFB-Know nothing but at least they have backed off the it’s not happening stance

    Early on in this Urban Meyer saga, the chances of landing Urban appeared to be good. Recently we noted those chances had dwindled. Then, as K reported, this past weekend a source informed us that an increased offer was made to Urban, clearly signaling that Texas wasn’t going to let this go without a fight.

    I talked with a source with ties to the administration that stated “Urban wants complete control” of the Texas program before he agrees to any deal.

    What does that entail? Well Urban wants the ability to name or replace the following:

    • His entire coaching staff (with three year guaranteed contracts)
    • All individuals that work in football support
    • The Assistant Athletic Director that overlooks football
    • Academic support staff
    • Physicians, trainers and physical therapy team

    Urban also wants to have input on facility upgrades. He mentioned the possibility of Urban wanting a promise of an upgraded indoor facility from the Texas administration.

    Something odd that was also mentioned was the desire from Urban to have a grass practice field and two turf fields, each with different turf.

    Let me be upfront by saying in no way does this confirm Urban to Texas is a deal done. However, this, along with reported contract offer Texas unofficially made earlier in the week, is the price it may take to get Meyer to Austin, Texas.

     


    We talkin’ about practice fields? We talkin’ about practice facilities? Not a game field, not a game field. We talkin’ about practice fields.

  2. It is amusing that people react so violently to amounts of money that they will never have to pay. This will all be financed by very rich men. I am glad my interests are aligned with such persons so it is free for me.

  3. What’s Jabba got to say? Anyone got it


    I don’t have it but I can venture a guess:

    Spoke to some insider sources that are plugged in.

    They said it might or might not happen.

    Lots of balls in the air.

    Situation is fluid.
