    The dudes on Columbus sports radio (Carpenter, Schlegel and the host) discussed Meyer "turning down" Texas this morning and were very rational.  Carpenter basically said that Urban apparently turned down the job for now but nothing would surprise him going forward.  Schlegel said Urban would want to secure his support staff (Italian mafia) before he goes anywhere and isn't going to disrupt Ohio State's season and current recruiting in doing so.  They also had a good laugh regarding what the support staff actually does (not too hard to read between the lines re: bagmen and practicing/training without coaches).

    They all acknowledged that Texas is a huge part of Ohio State's current recruiting plan and that makes it harder for Urban to take the job as it would disrupt a lot of work Ohio State has put in down there as opposed to USC where Ohio State isn't very active.

     

    That is a huge amount of hedging from a group that has no reason at all to not want this to be done.

     

    and like THUJONE just said above...if Urbs was over and done with there would be all kinds of rats....excuse me 9.95ers in the rumor mill reporting on where we go from here.  It's new subscription season after all.

    It looks like it's playing out exactly as conveyed regarding Herman being gone. As I've stated repeatedly and consistently to this board, I've asked time and again and no one seems to think or believe that Herman is staying. He's a dead man walking. 

    Regarding Campbell, yes, I believe there are folks that really like him and that he's a real candidate. Any talk of him not taking the job is laughable. Let's see what Campbell does if he's offered 5 years at $5.5million with ratchets and also total control and a commitment for facilities upgrades. 

    "But closetojumping, Matt Campbell has no Texas ties!" - neither did Matt Rhule. Nick Saban coached as a DB coach for the Oilers, so I'm sure he really figured out Texas and the south in that period, but then he coached at Toledo, the Browns, and Michigan State. He didn't know shit about recruiting in Louisiana or this area. Somehow, a coach that can identify talent and develop it was able to find enough guys to win a national title after arriving from the north, nonetheless. 

    The only legitimate whines about Campbell are a) he's not Urban Meyer and b) he's never been around a major program and all that that entails. The rest is handwringing silliness. 

    I'm same spot on Herman being gone.  Was just curious.

     

    Campbell I think has definite appeal.....I actually for whatever reason keep coming back to Fickell, but I don't pay enough attention to coaches out there to know if he really is worth pursuing or not.

    Except that's bullshit. I've been as transparent as possible and have said all along that I don't know shit about what was happening in the Meyer back and forth. If I know something, I'll say what I can. When I don't, I won't, and admit as much. 

    CTJ,  just curious if you still hold to what you posted back on December 1 of last year?  Things change and all that, just curious.

    -Herman is roundly despised by the academic side and the money. Tech win gave him another season. He has been told unequivocally that they should be competing for a national title next year, that he needs to win the fucking bowl game, and they better damned sure land a top 10 class this year. If he fails at any of those, his ass is fucking gone. Obviously, if he fails at the bowl win and the recruiting class and then goes to the CFP, he’s keeping his job. 10 wins though? Some shit like that? Nope. Dude is fucking despised by too many important people. I personally believe he is gone regardless, just curious if you are still on board with that prediction/information.

    - The guy(Matt Campbell you posted just this past week) they had lined up would have been pretty fucking great and it will be interesting to see if he goes anywhere this year or if he’s still available after Herman buttfucks 2020.

    Can you mother fuckers use the report button. Make it easier to clean up than having to delete 12 more comments quoting the fucking politics telling them to fuck off to cloak room. 

    But also, Fuck off to Cloak Room, keep that shit out of this board.

    Please, squid has better handwriting then that.

     

    Anybody able to read Japanese or Mandarin?  Squid has had some conversations that I am pretty sure refer to anime or manga but who knows.

    Mullen?  He’d be nuts to leave Florida. Are you serious?

    People on this board like to claim Saban was willing to leave Bama to come to Texas.  On that basis it isn't that far fetched.

    The "If Meyer doesn't return" is from a separate article he wrote earlier. Actually, so is the entire second half of the article which I think he just copy-pasted.

    Chip Brown: If Meyer doesn't return to coaching, what's next for Texas?

     

    Look people.....FCB knows squat.

     

    Whether Urban is coming or not I have no clue.

     

    But Thomas Herman III will not be the coach at the University of Texas.

     

    The BMDs want him gone.  Sure it's easier to write the check with Meyer coming in....but none of them what Herman another year.

    I know I’m just an anonymous asshole on the internet, but y’all need to trust me on one thing in particular. Herman is toast. There is nothing he can do to save his job at this point. I’m quite sure we are giving him time and dignity to bolster the pr line of “we just couldn’t turn Urban down”. That’s a much smarter and more savvy way of reducing his buyout compared to the alcoholic philanderer angle.

    So @Caddox you heard anything new in last 2 hrs?

    Let's start a patio furniture fund for Texas Renegade. That spot has so much potential.

    Just paid for the porch.  Actual furniture will have to be after Christmas. 

    Not letting us go into debt for patio furniture.
