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!

Yep, and everyone thought it was just a comedy routine Herman had going on about not acknowledging his special team players by name. TH is just a stupid fuck, plain and simple.

Give me Sarkisian. And hope he brings Muschamp as his DC.

I didn't hear it either, but Jared Wiley is my guess. He took himself off the field in the 1st half with what looked like a shoulder injury.

He's a 2022 and takes a Redshirt year.

Ehlinger (1 year) --> Card (2 years) --> Ewers under Meyers coaching staff doesn't seem too bad.

Exactly. Feel terrible for Derek, but that's 100% why Cosmi opted out.

It gives him another week to work with Anwar on questions for next weeks press conference.

Kansas

So the Ash/Yurcich job audition will be December 12th? Kewl

Kansas game postponed...this guy lives another week.

Haha, whatever dude. I was passing on a quote, but if you feel like it was made up I don’t know what to tell you. Go back and listen to the show, or better yet, check his Twitter where he was asked about it later in the afternoon and doubled down and backed his info, and even gave a tad more detail.

He called in to do the picks for the weekend...was asked about it at the end and that was his response.

I also posted this in the Quinn Ewers thread in Recruiting... On 104.9, Trey Elling just said that he's hearing in recruiting circles that Herman has been saying some negative things about Ewers, and that stuff got back to the Ewers family and that's how all of this came about. Also said that Herman made no effort to rectify the comments or keep him committed. I'm officially on the "he knows his fate and he's burning the place down on his way out." It was a totally WTF moment.

You must be reading impaired or too lazy to read the rest of that paragraph/post.

I hope he takes a look at Samples too. I know his coaching resume is small, but the guy is putting some skins on the wall quickly. And it’s clear he has the keys to the Metroplex in terms of recruiting.

I’m not terribly worried if Ewers and Co commit to tOSU. Herman is gone, Urban is on deck. And Urban will pull some of his staff from tOSU, those guys have loyalty to him. That gives us a chance to get them all back by signing day 2022. And you’re crazy if you don’t think an Urban hire changes the recruiting landscape drastically and immediately, even in the 21 class. Hell, Bowman is still out there uncommitted, playing the long game of wait and see. If we lose a close one in Stillwater, Herman is done on Sunday. If we get shellacked, he’s gone Saturday night. CDC is a smart man, make no mistake about that. He could not afford to be reactionary up until this point, because it’s sets a bad precedent for the future. But now he wouldn’t be reactionary...recruits and their families are sending a clear message, not just fans. When the team is officially eliminated from title game contention, this shitastic Herman era is over. Regarding staff...Urbs keeps Yurcich and Drayton on offense, Ash, Vilai and Hutzler on defense. He pulls the rest from tOSU, and hopefully leaves a spot to cherry-pick someone from the SMU staff since honestly they are locking down DFW right now. Urban can’t be announced right away, but Yurcich and Ash can sure as shit get on the phone Sunday afternoon and start locking recruits in with the future of the program under an Urban Meyer regime.

Take me back there please.

Maybe you're looking at this all wrong. Urbs is in, is working on his staff, and is having those guys start to form a relationship with the kids Texas wants. One can dream, can't they?

Probably my favorite part was, when asked about Ossai's injury, he said "in lay man's terms" then proceeded to give the medical journal name. It may have actually been the most condescending answer to a question he's ever given.

I think it would depend on how early it happens. If Urban is named at least by Thanksgiving, I think all bets are off with this being a "transition" class. Give Urban one month before ESD and I think our recruiting outlook would flip quickly. He is one of the few guys out there that has some serious name value that would resonate with recruits.

And why the hell is Kai Money playing every down. WTF?

I swear this is Tom giving everyone the middle finger. This asshole will literally do anything to prove he is the smartest asshole out there.

Rod Babers mentioned earlier in the week that Tom coaches the Punt team and FG team, so Boulware isn’t responsible for those two.
