Dammit--it's Brownsville. Brownsville is the asshole of Texas. The toxicity is so high it's known as the toxic border for its birth defects. But the answer to the riddle has been solved. It's not just poor, it's contaminated and poor. Now let's back away from the Texas sphincter riddle and ride the UM train to Austin.

Well I did a drive by on news out of Ohio, Oklahoma and Texags to see what they were saying about us and our circle jerk on UM rumors. Some stuff came up but mostly they are talking about recruiting. We are not doing shit in recruiting and CDC needs to get to it so we can celebrate the hire and then see all those guys pucker up on possible flips. They probably will not happen this year but it is fun to see folks sweat.

I know a preemptive pardon was given to Nixon but has anyone ever challenged it in the Supreme Court? One should challenge that a pardon can only be for a crime of which you have been convicted.
Just needed to do search.
QuoteThe Supreme Court already has clarified the scope of the President’s pardon power. In 1865, President Andrew Johnson issued a pardon to a lawyer from Arkansas who held office under the Confederate States, “for all offences by him committed, arising from participation, direct or implied, in the Rebellion.” In an opinion issued in 1886, the Supreme Court clarified that the pardon power conferred by the Constitution is “unlimited, with the exception [of cases of impeachment],” and it “extends to every offence known to the law.” The Supreme Court wrote that the President may exercise the pardon power after the commission of the criminal offense, before or during legal proceedings, and after conviction and judgment. In fact, so long as the President grants a pardon before conviction, then doing so prevents any of the “penalties and disabilities consequent on conviction from attaching” to the pardoned person.

Texas coach Tom Herman begins his Monday presser. "Obviously extremely disappointed and heart-broken, especially for our seniors in the outcome of last week's game."
Said that they needed to win to gain momentum on recruiting. Fuck you Tom Herman I thought you did not believe in momentum.

Urban is in good standing with a lot of people at Ohio St and I believe still collects a paycheck from them. I wouldn’t be surprised if their big money guys still let him use their aircraft to fly privately as part of his agreement.
So if he is still having to use donor aircraft Texas can now say fuck using someone else's have your own. We all know that Urban is what Texas needs but that is a lot of not my money that is about to be spent. Why is it that even though it is not my money it feels a little overpriced when we know winning pays for itself.

I have no idea why anyone thinks that some part-time, in-between gig on the Fox desk would keep him from taking a new job sooner than Dec 19th.
Does he have a buyout with that contract? What's the most it could be with 2 weeks left? $100k? I seriously doubt it would take much more than Urban calling his boss and saying "hey I quit so, find someone else on Saturday I guess"
People are acting like he's the sitting secretary of state or a chancellor at some big-name university or some shit.
@Burt Macklin you just barely beat me to it 😁 guess we had the same breaking point over that nonsense.
People = Fuck Chip Brown and that is it.
FCB already has an agenda here and it probably due to getting shutout on some info after feeling he did CDC a favor by publishing the Eyes of Texas info for CDC.

I change my vote from my semi-sarcastic Kalen DeBoer choice to Luke Fickell even if he does not beat Tulsa since he would be announced next week. Even with the worrisome bad record in his only year at Ohio State.I'm not sure Mack Brown falls into your "was a sure fire hire" category. There was another guy who lost 2 and 1 games his final year in the ACC before coming to Texas. He lost to Kansas. Picking nits, but Mack was by no means seen as a slam dunk when we hired him.
They proved to be slam dunks because none were slam dunks when they were hired. That is what I mean by sure things. Mack could have had 3 MNC appearances and 2 championships in a 9 year span had it not been for some bad luck. That is pretty slam dunk.

1 hour ago, orangebird said:So, how do you identify that coach ahead of time? I think there are only a handful of people in the world that could fit your definition of a "great coach." We might be able to pull off hiring Urban Meyer, but if not, then what? Saban has already proven that he isn't willing to leave Alabama for any amount of money. I suspect the same is probably also true of Dabo. So now we have to move to a tier of coaches that have potential, but are not yet proven to be in that elite category, should Urban not work out. And even at that, Urban is not necessarily guaranteed to be the guy. There are plenty of examples in history of formerly great coaches who stayed around too long, past the height of their career arc. Suppose Urban doesn't turn our hot mess around in three years - are you going to bail on him, then?
I'm all for no excuses, but at the same time, coaches are human beings and not God. At some point, you have to be realistic about what they can accomplish.
So lets take a look at the list of coaches with a national championship since 2000.
The crap shoot coaches (No prior experience or very mediocre before unexpected success)
Bob Stoops
Dabo Swinney
Larry Coker
Gene Chizik
Ed Orgeron
Les Miles
Pete CarrolThe sure things (Lots of success shortly before taking their NC job)
Nick Saban
Built a 10-2 team by his 5 year at Michigan State and beat #24, #3, #20, #13 and #10 on the way to that record. He only lost to #17 Wisconsin and #20 Purdue with a guy by the name of Drew Brees.Urban Meyer
Had gone 10-2 and 12-0 at Utah and had 4 years of experience. He took 2-9 Bowling Green team and turned them into a 8-3 team in year one (i.e. taking crap and turning it into gold).Mack Brown
Mack had a 10-2 and 10-1 in the two previous years prior to being hired at Texas. In his last year he only lost to #3 Florida State and made a basketball school relevant.Jim Tressel
In a seven year span he Won four national championships in division D1-AA. He was 47 years old at the time he achieved such a feet.So what we need is a coach that meets the following criteria:
1) Has at least 4 years experience as a head coach.
2) Has won at least 83% of his games in his final full season.
3) If he is from a lower division he has either gone undefeated or won a national championship. -

29 minutes ago, orangebird said:I don't disagree. And I think there are enough red flags with Cristobal that he is not my #1 choice. All I was trying to point out is that there are a lot of unusual factors at play here. TBH, I think Oregon royally screwed up with the Taggart hire. That alone probably set their program back about five years. I do think Cristobal is solid, but there are issues endemic to the program stemming from the Taggart hire that are going to take time to sort out. Cristobal hasn't been on the job long enough for me to form a definitive opinion on whether he is the right man for that job at this point, but yeah, the issues with Oregon's defense are very, very concerning. No excuse for giving up 41 points to Oregon State.
More excuses, great coaches take crap programs and turn them into gold usually by year 3. That is how most of us knew Tom was not it last year and CDC threw out Dabo as the exception as to why we needed to give Herman one more year. Only thing I can say for Cristobal is he has not had year 3 to show all he can do and he did go 12-2 last year. So maybe he is better than Herman but losing to lesser talent has nothing to do with Taggart. So I do not want.

1 hour ago, orangebird said:My son goes to Oregon, so I have watched a fair amount of their games.
I wouldn't read too much into Oregon losing the Civil War game to Oregon State on Friday. That is one of those heated rivalry games for in-state bragging rights - throw out all the records, etc. It has a lot of the same feel as when Texas used to play aggy, although on a smaller scale, as Oregon is a much smaller state than Texas. Plus. this was kind of considered a rebuilding year for Oregon anyway, after losing Herbert to the NFL after last season. Throw in all the weirdness with the Pac-12 and the coronavirus pandemic this season (they didn't start playing until the beginning of November) and it's hard to take away anything meaningful from this season, when it comes to Oregon.
Having said that, I think Cristobal is a solid coach, although I am far from certain he would be a slam dunk at Texas. His biggest strength is coaching the O-line. I have always been very impressed with the way Oregon's O-line blocks under Cristobal. I'm kind of meh about his X's and O's - I think Herbert would have probably thrived more back when Chip Kelly was running the show, and Oregon was more aggressive on offense. However, the biggest red flags for Cristobal so far have been defense. Oregon's defense has been bad, especially this season. I'm kind of giving Cristobal a pass on that for now, given the recent turnover in Oregon's head coaching position. They went through three head coaches in three years: Helfrich, Taggart, and now Cristobal. It's really hard to build any kind of consistency with that much turnover, and I think Cristobal deserves a bit more time to see if he can fix the issues on defense. But so far, the early returns are...not great.
I think if it's not Urban, Campbell would probably be my #1 choice. Iowa State used to be one of the worst teams in the country, and he has not only managed to make them respectable, but actually put them in position to compete for the conference. That is the mark of a damn good coach. We need a guy like that around here.
Lots of passes were given to Herman on his loss versus SMU and the terrible defensive play for much of the Oklahoma game at Houston. Tom proved that those were not aberrations they were tale tale signs of the coach he happens to be. We need to make sure none of these candidates are given passes. Even Urban Meyer is who he is and will quit when he gets bored of us and leave us with scandal. Yet, as long as we pick a Ryan Day or Lincoln Riley that keeps things going when you know the type of coach you are getting I am all in.

Mario Cristobal just lost to Oregon State. Some dumb asses here said that Tom had lost to SMU because he was busy getting hired by UT and it was OK. Well, we come to find out he lost to SMU because that is what he does, he loses to lesser talent because he is unprepared. Cristobal last year lost to Arizona State and now Oregon Sate. I do not want this guy to be our next coach.
QuoteMario Cristobal on not picking up the 1st down to ice the game:
Everyone wanted to compete and fight but certainly important with the 4th down stop and we go three and out and gave them the ball in really good field position. Certainly we have to finish off the game. That’s the bottomline. There’s no way to change that or sugarcoat that in any shape or form.

Voted other. Kalen DeBoer Fresno State 70-4 record coaching teams that may get beat by 6A teams. Still 3 championships and did well at Indiana when he was OC.

Corsicana TX sure seems like a terrible place and I would only drive through it on my way to Tyler a couple of times a month three years ago. Everyone in their cars had a look on their face as if they were in the most miserable place on earth.
