Urban Meyer or bust

IT

he waiting game is a byproduct of not having leverage. Texas has no leverage, and so we wait.

Urban Meyer is in sole control of the situation, and, by proxy, your delicate emotions.

I guess we can speculate:

— if Urban says he wants the job, it will be his. Not so much speculation as common sense.

— the last remaining holdup we’ve heard is whether or not he can get his support staff to join the ride. I’m willing to entertain that as an excuse for why he doesn’t want to take the job but it would take some convincing.

— if Urban remains undecided he’ll be given time and Herman will coach the Kansas game. That would leave him very little operating room between being hired and NSD1. Recruiting is never a secondary concern for him so either he’s truly undecided on whether or not he can get “his guys” or he’s leaning no.

— there has been considerable noise stemming from CDC’s “useful” media stenographers that I’ve taken as misninformation. James Franklin? That has to be him doing his friend and Penn State coach a solid. Talk of bringing Herman back if they miss on Urban seems like buying time for Plan B’s but we’ve also heard they don’t like their Plan B options. If Del Conte truly believes that, he should be met with spirited opposition. It’s an excuse and a bad one at that. For someone who prides himself on making good hires he should relish the opportunity to conduct the rare “real search” at Texas with all its resources and newly refined sales pitch.

— we have heard Steve Sarkisian’s name. He is a better option than Herman and I know there are better options than Sark. If five years with Saban hasn’t led to a relapse he can probably deal with the pressures of @oneryhorn636970 (notice how I made him an old). Sark is just an example of how “there are no Plan B’s” is BS.

— I’ve heard they’re not all that high on Cristobal, though I wasn’t given any reasons. That’s either more nonsense or hopefully misdirection. Who knows at this point.

— recency bias drives me mad. It’s just as shortsighted to say it’s hard to fire a coach after a convincing win (over a bad team) as it is to not want a head coach who has a recent disappointing loss. If you’re not discussing a body of work you’re doing it wrong. Herman’s body of work, even before the other issues are accounted for, isn’t getting it done. A win over K-State changes nothing. It actually underlined his shortcomings.

— for now we’re waiting for unimpeachable word on what’s going on. We’ve received confirmation for what we posted on Friday but nothing new today.

— I’m confident the pursuit of Meyer has been handled quite well, but I’m unsure on the other scenarios

if Knight is involved at all he's not going to let us poach Cristobal.

Dude I explained it. Glad handing tomorrow with BMD in Houston and Dallas before arriving in Austin. 

Would this really happen if we're bending over backwards to get him? Make him spend the night in Houston and fly to Dallas before Austin?

edit: serious question, not being sarcastic

Not necessarily.  I’m confident the conversation has already happened.  Now whether or not it hits the media tonight/tomorrow is a different story.

If the conversation has already happened no way Herman's running practice tomorrow unless he's coaching against Kansas.

Matt rhule or Dave Aranda have us undefeated this year...prove me wrong. The way this Baylor team tackles and plays with attitude makes me erect. They are 2-5 and probably all rapists so maybe this is the drunk fuck face herman in me talking. 

Rhule was 11-3 last year Aranda is 2-5

Yes we would and he would be glad to. These are the guys financing it.  He’s a smart guy, it’s a few hours in Houston and Dallas then hit the ground running Sunday night and Monday morning.

Agreed, that makes no sense. They’d come to him, not make him take the local to Austin.

Yep. Those are the guys you need to make nice with - unlike what Herman did.

If his wife was indeed at Horseshoe Bay, it would make sense that she flew out to meet him, and then fly back with him. Interesting that this plane doesn't have it's next destination listed.

Yes.  It would be a surprise if Tom is not officially gone by tomorrow.

This needs to happen.  we waited long enough.  the original season end date was 12/5.  KU doesnt mean shit unless OU shits the bed at home against Baylor.  there is a reason the regular season ends first week in Dec and NSD1 is 12/19.  gives 2 weeks to recruit(not sure what is allowed during this period).  If we have Urban why would we want to hamstring Urban by waiting for a meaningless game that was rescheduled due to covid?

If he’s truly heading to Texas tonight (and Austin tomorrow), the courting is over.
