OMG these assholes. So FCB calls CDC to verify with “so was our headline accurate?” Instead of “will he be back next year?” Then posts it on a msg board, yetCDC STILL hasn’t said “he will be back next season!”? These fucks are insufferable.

Any reassurances that this shit show isn’t headed to 2021?

Right, but that's my point. Leaving it open to interpretation, which he very much did in the statement is just bad if he's staying. Just say he's staying.

Simple answer is he’s coming back. 

Then fucking definitively say that in the statement. Agree that CDC showed his ass with this.

Fuck this. I'm going fishing(on xbox).

 

When I get back, y'all have this shit figured out. 

Which fishing game? I’ve never found one that I can play longer than 15 minutes

So what about the flight tracker?  What can we glean from that today?

The fact that he didn't is a statement.

Reading comprehension is hard.

Except he's staying. Rationality is hard.

 

This is piss poor reporting. Did he say it, or did he not say it? You don’t report ANYTHING ELSE! Anything but him actually saying the fucking words means dick.

I’ve been in the conspiracy theory camp that this is all a ploy until after tOSU’s season is done. But now I have no flipping clue. One of the podcasts this week was discussing how men’s basketball having a good season may be the savior for TH. Essentially they said that Shaka was on the hot seat and close to being fired, but CDC chose to stick with him and now it looks like the right move. They said that could lead CDC to doing the same with Herman this year.

Bloody hell...in 2020 it’s possibly that Shaka Smart saved Tom Herman’s job. What a time to be alive!

Or it's the we couldn't get anyone worth a shit to come to coach here that would justify the buyout. I hope you guys are right but I get the nagging feeling CDC isn't inclined to do anything. 

Could be. But that’s very clearly NOT what the statement says.

It's tepid, but he could have chosen to say nothing at least until after the bowl game ("end of the season").  That he chose to say this is bad. 

He wouldn't go out of his way to make himself seem disingenuous (at the least), if he was going to fire Herman.

Duuude...

Maybe a loss in the Cheez It Bowl will save us

"promising young talent"

Yeah I guess if you intentionally ignore the mass exodus of top recruits from our class. We aren't even getting legacy kids anymore like the Brockemeyers or lifelong Texas fans like Ewers. The writing is on the wall for another 4-5 years minimum of wandering the wilderness and CDC has chosen to be ignorant.

Shaka and Tom are not comparable in the slightest shut the fuck up with that comparison. Dumbest shit I've ever read

If Herman is coming back for 2021 and I stress “if” then we need to unleash the McKracken on CDCs ass! And never let up.

Chip brown has a bat signal straight to Chris del conte...he calls him direct when he has a question? You don’t believe that, dip your head in that cold Guadalupe water and rethink the fuck out of that. He spoke to an assistant who has some bullshit written down on paper that says if fuck chip brown calls here say this garbage for me. 

Asked by Horns247 for further clarification, Del Conte said, "Tom Herman is our coach moving forward into next season."

 

What a kick in the dick

If you really believe in the direction the program is heading you HAVE to say that or you have said nothing. 

What CDC really said is mediocrity is better than nothing. Shit put it on a bumper sticker.

The only things I got out of my time at UT were:

1) Learning my social security number  

2) Learning how to deal with bureaucracy.

3) Having an athletic program to pull for  

Retaining Herman reminds me what a waste of fucking time my years in Austin were. This fucking blows.

Our AD has an $18 million contract and can't even write a proper statement concerning his #1 job responsibility. 

Think about that for a moment.

Shaka Smart - the guy that should have been fired three seasons ago?

 

 

Bahaha. Is CDC this big of an idiot to keep talking around this? SAY IT! HE’LL BE OUR COACH IN 2021! Those are the words I’m looking for.

“Moving forward” into next season is also fucking vague. Water is wet. Sky is blue. Won’t say the actual words “Tom Herman will be our coach in 2021.” 

The press release looks like spin I’ve seen before a President or CEO cuts a fuck up.  How many times have you heard President ———————-   supports Mr/Ms Fuck up nd expects him or her to serve out their term or will not ask them to resign.? And then the next day, they resign either voluntarily or involuntarily.  
 

Having said that, if Tom is back next year it’s going to be very hard to get motivated to support another shit show.  If  it turns out to be a shit show, Tom and CDC will need to be fired together.   I will furnish the feathers for the Surly tar and feather rally when the time come.

If true, I will need more smoking/grilling recipes cause my fall Saturdays just opened up  

“Tom Herman is our coach moving forward into next season” is not the same thing as saying “Tom Herman will be our coach for the 2021 season.”

lulz

He still didn't say it in that quote. Tom Herman is our coach moving forward into next season. Well we are currently moving forward into next season and Tom Herman is our coach. I mean he certainly might be the coach in 2021 but there is a whole bunch of premature vaginal caterwauling going on in this thread right now.

Tin foil time - 

 

I think James Franklin shitting the bed this season really screwed over CDC's plan to hire Franklin after Urban predictably turned us down.

Assuming Franklin and Penn State rebound next season - expect him to be at the top of the list and the likely hire.

My advice is to find a second team to root for. I have chosen to adopt Iowa State - Nice fans, hard nosed teams - East program to root for. Have a hat from Amazon on the way.

 

 

If on the off chance he is seriously bringing him back id assume he'd be gone himself shortly. Oliver Luck would have no issue land Urban given the chance.

He still didn't say Herman would be the coach for the 2021 season.  He literally is the coach right now as this season ends and the next begins.  He is being very specific for a reason you dipshits.

If those are CDC’s exact words, one could argue he’s doubling down on the hedge. The amount of shadenastiness makes me believe he’s keeping the door open.

“Moving forward” into next season is also fucking vague. Water is wet. Sky is blue. Won’t say the actual words “Tom Herman will be our coach in 2021.” 

It’s talking around the “question.” CDC’s either not committing to saying Herman actually being the HC next season, or he’s the highest paid fucking idiot in Austin for not putting it to bed clearly and concisely.

Again with the delicate fucking language. "moving forward into next season"

WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN?!?!?! 

“Tom Herman is our coach moving forward into next season” is not the same thing as saying “Tom Herman will be our coach for the 2021 season.”

This.

For anyone who still wants Urban, this provides cover for NSD and allows OSU to finish their season.

The ambiguity of the statement gives me more hope that Urban is still in play.

Shaka still has plenty of time to F it up even with all the talent he has at his disposal this season

I’m going off the CDC published statement. He might not win at PR but it’s simple interpretation is herms is coming back.  Passing the language for coded signals isn’t usually the winning strategy.
