Kirk implying Urban holding out for a better deal:

Argument makes no sense - I am not aware of any oil derricks in Austin, so this is actually not a great deal for UM

Who are the names (or new names) worthy of the buy out that are still tied to a championship run.  Also could those be assistants that a head coach would bring or poach. 

 

Wondering the same. I'm thinking Sark, Mullen (if he beats Bama), Campbell (outside playoff chance but suddenly looking possible), tOSU assistants for Meyer, Brian Kelly (still don't see that being an option though). 

My guess is Mullen. My other guess is that Mullen ends up with a big raise at UF.

I’m sure it relies on UM’s less than voluminous knowledge of the greater Austin oil industry.

Clemson vs ND

Florida vs Bama

tOSU vs Northwestern

ISU vs homosexual tech (NTTATWWT)

Oregon (maybe) vs USC?

 

Tony Elliot, Venables, Kelly

Mullen,Sark

Dennis, Pacino, Deniro

Campbell

Mario?

Expect a CDC vote of confidence today or this weekend. I expect the wording will be carefully crafted. I also expect everyone on this thread to melt all the fucking way down. 

"Tom Herman is currently the Head Ball Coach of the Texas Longhorns.  No questions please."

I mean, they'd probably offer him every oil derrick in Austin right now. If that is all he is asking for this could have been done months ago.

no shit, we can just give him Santa Rita No. 1.  In fact we can move it to his backyard if he wants.

I heard that well was tapped years ago

So my Panhandle peep(s) was/were correct about Herman being DMW and not returning for 2021? That is what I was told two weeks ago and I am sticking by what I heard. About that and the money. We have it and we should be willing to give UM precisely what he is asking for. He is needed to clean up the rot. 
 

also, I think @immamac may have been on the NFL network this morning? Or was he not? Lol. As you can see below. 

that would be a sign that UM is happening! 

Day energy not as cool as the brisket, steak, fire pit stories and MSPaint we had going on last night. Fire pit!!!!!

I think he would do well honestly.  But are you paying 25 million just to get rid of Herman or to hire Elliot?

Elliott, not Elliot. I think he's going to be a really good HC, but I'm also not sure he's ready for a job like Texas right now.

Naked and Afraid contestant, model and pro surfer, Anastasia Ashley has sold her Miami Beach chic bungalow home for $870,000.

Anastasia Ashley is no stranger to making headlines, in 2013 the model/surfer became an internet sensation after a video went viral of her twerking to warm-up before the SuperGirl Pro tournament in Oceanside, CA. Anastasia has been a public figure in the surfer world, throughout her career as a pro surfer she has won multiple titles including the 2010 Pipeline Women’s Pro in Hawaii, she conquered gigantic waves on the Oahu’s Outer Reef for an XXL Award nomination, and has become one of the most successful surfers on the women’s tour. Anastasia was also a cast member on Naked and Afraid in 2017 but quit the show just after six days of filming for being attacked by sandflies all over her body.

FANTASTIC!  if you don't ever hear from me again you'll know what happened to me....

 

I don't follow the sport, but we have toyed with taking surfing lessons in various vacay locations ever since we took to wakesurfing.  Instead we sit on the beach get stoned and watch the surfers until the sun goes down.  not a bad alternative to riding the waves.

It's a hard as FUCK but I'll tell you, kite surfing is amazeballs. Corpus is actually one of the best places to learn as you aren't also dealing with big waves in the bays. Not only that, but hotels are cheap as fuck and you can hit up the original Whataburger.

Sure, Snoopy's isn't exactly 3 star dining and the crowds are a little low brow, but it's not absolutely terrible.

I'll add that to the list of maybes.  currently wake surfing, fly fishing and scuba (next) are the zen activities I'm working on.

There could be plenty of things at play here. We need to stop the bleeding in recruiting. Everything is completely shut down right now. Loudmouths are being quiet. If Herman's really coming back I promise the quiet would end. 

A lot went on for months, people started to celebrate, and then things went completely radio silent? Then all of a sudden the 9.95 morons start getting info from CDC? Who wasnt even on point for this deal? 

Confidence was high for a long time, meetings take place, and Urban wont put the issue to rest? This deal isnt over. Its in hibernation. Ive been having fun in this thread, but we are likely a month away. There's gonna be a ton of noise like today. The 9.95ers will have to keep their subscribers at bay while theyre in the dark or being fed horseshit. Dont let the timeline mind fuck you. 

 

Herman is gone period.  If CDC and crew thought Urban wasn’t happening they would move to plan B with lightning speed.  The fact that they haven’t moved to plan B tells me we are going with Urban as soon as OSUs CFP chances are done.

Wait, Herman wants Austin oil derricks.  Santa Rita No 1 is an Austin oil derrick, Santa Rita is the patron saint of lost and impossible causes.  getting Urban seems like a lost.....holy shit this bitch is happening!

Don’t even fucking talk to me about tacos if they use grocery store tortillas, like Torchy’s does.  Having grown up and living in South Texas, I’m amused by the “who has the best tacos?Austin or San Antonio” debate.

One thing to think about regarding "Urban Meyer is waiting for the ND job" is that it's not even close to an ideal situation for the guy. They don't pay well, they have high academic hurdles that impairs recruiting, they don't throw money at assistants and don't pay for a ton of support staff either. It's also not a slam dunk that they'd be willing to pursue Urban Meyer, either. If Meyer is truly holding out for some other place, I sincerely doubt ND fits the bill.  If Kelly bolts, Matt Campbell has already notified ND that he's got dibs on the job, so it's probably moot anyway.

Why settle, as the name of the thread states Urban or bust.  We're getting our first choice, relax.

Mike Elko confirmed out of left field. Thanks.

ND being his dream job seems odd considering he chose UF over them back in the day.  That was obviously a smart business decision given the talent in the program at the time, but hardly leads me to believe it's his dream job.

I've reached "relax" finally. I'm happy to consider the other possibilities and discuss in the meantime, but the Urban Meyer possibility has not been put to bed, for me. I haven't seen enough to believe that Tom Herman is returning, and haven't seen enough to say with any type of certainty that Urban Meyer has completely turned down the Texas job. I won't have my hopes sky-high, but I'm just confident that the UM avenue is not yet finished being explored.

I get that, but there is definitely something to be said about the Catholic part of it.

I haven’t read the thread since about 10:00 last night. I’m not going to try to catch up. I’ve seen what’s being reported by CTJ, et al, and I don’t even want to know the meltdown that’s probably only in its infancy. I’ll just say this:

This shit is messy. If you fire Tom, you put yourself in the position of having to fill the spot RIGHT NOW. That’s what got us Charlie and Tom. I’m perfectly content with how it’s going. CDC is being methodical and he’s not willing to mortgage our future on another gamble. He’ll either stick with the gamble he has (Tom), which I don’t think will ultimately happen, or he’ll find as close to a sure thing as possible. Even if our worst case scenario happens (Tom stays), we will have our kids in the second year of the same system, hopefully with a spring and fall camp. Our defense should be filthy with a real year of preparation. Our offense might even get better, especially at QB. Maybe we get a new OL coach with a brain and everything gets better. Who knows?

Things aren’t good right now, but we’re a hell of a lot better off than we were under Charlie. It’s not dumpster fire time, yet. We can be patient if the final result is the best possible result. Until we know that result, temper tantrums will only make things worse.
 

Obviously, I’m choosing to trust CDC. The fact that he’s not making knee-jerk, purely emotional decisions should encourage all of us.
 

Go find something to be thankful for. All will end well. 

So, you all are hearing Tom is going to be coach next year? Are you all sure that it is Tom Herman and not Tommy Bowden? I thought maybe Tommy Tuberville was a possibility but it looks like he is choosing the senator job over the Texas coaching job.

I'm gunna disagree with this part. When they canned Charlie, they didn't put themselves in a position to HAVE to hire Tom right away, they fired strong so quickly in order to put themselves in a position to where they COULD hire Tom right away, because that's who they wanted. He was the hot name. Everywhere. We were all wrong (unless you weren't).
