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. -

Urban Meyer or bust
in Football
Lupe is close behind El Tiempo. Lupe has my favorite beef fajitas. The savory lime flavor is the best. But El Tiempo is better at Everything else. And the tenderloin/filet fajitas at El Tiempo are one of the best foods on the planet.
