  1. He wouldn’t get fired if we were 10-3 with W over LSU
  2. We’re a 9-4 team this year. W @kansas and the grimme game. L to LSU (given Herman’s penchant to get out coached). Is that enough to save him? Tcu ( the late fumble) and ISU (take the fg and later, don’t take the sack) were W’s that got away. We had a squad to make the playoffs. Urban has to see that.
  3. That’s bullshit: 1) they showed a replay where it’s pretty clear he hurt his shoulder (on the sack) 2) we were going to try and score on the last possession until the penalty on the kick return negated decent field pos 3) nothing in Sam’s history dictates he would do this
  4. no, I think he's saying if we get close to the date with no movement, then its likely we are staying status quo. He's saying that is a "date to watch".
  5. yeah, he gone. I stated yesterday as a part of the day crew, its happening (firing Herman), just not on the Surly timeline. This is why i think Urban Meyer is still in play and I wouldn't be surprised to see Sam return if that happens. Everyone got a free year, Card would still have 3-4 years eligibility with Meyer running things; may cost us Thompson, but that would open door for a recruiting flip late before NSD2
  6. we need a captain next year who A. is not going to leave early to prepare for the dradft and B. wont opt out
  7. I think we’re a blend. I fall in the category of all good things come to those who wait; as in it’s happening , But just not on our timeline
  8. I believe it’s because we have been pretty covid free all things considered. The season is lost, no sense deviating from the plan. The kids are following him, protocols are in place. No sense jacking around with safety. Maybe cdc is letting it play out while UM assesses things. Plus we had 18-19 kids Sign last week. We had to keep the integrity of the class in place.
  9. optics =“we’re Texas”. That’s the bs we need to get away from. You want to win, we need to get in the game and not pussyfoot around and worry about optics. Fuck that shit. You think Bama worries about optics? Clemson has a coach out talking shit. You need to lose this We’re Texas and optics crap.
  10. Welcome to the start of SEC bowl season in a few weeks. Just a reminder, you have two narrative options this year as always. 1) The bowl result proves how dominant the SEC is 2) The SEC team didn’t want to be there when they lose.
  11. I knew a sales manager once who only recruited guys with hot wives or gf’s. Seems like there was a football coach who did that too. Like you , neither was very bright.
  12. I believe Sark’s wife is from Houston , so there’s that.
  13. I don’t know how old you are, but HS was an absolute disaster at OU. So bad that he quit after less than year. He told the fans they would forget BUd and Barry after he was through. He coached for 10 years after that at FAU. His time at Ou makes Herman look like Knute Rockne Edit: had to look it up, they lost to both Kansas schools, by a lot.
  14. They are prone to HC gaffes. schnellenberger, Blake and Gibbs
  15. There are going to be some pretty salty ex-head coach coordinator types availabake
  16. Its a good job, not a great job. They can draw from premium rich states like FL, GA, TX (to a degree), AL and MS. Between those 4-5 states they can fill a roster of dudes and frisbie catching dogs . Add in the fact that the road grader lineman come from the deep south and you can win big as Chizik, Tubs, Malzahan have done. After Bama, LSU, FL and GA its next in line imo. Lay over the obesity map of country and all the SEC states are represented, hence the huge DL and OL that come with the SEC poaching grounds. If they were in the current b12, it would easily be the 3rd best job. Auburn is a quaint little college town a couple hours from ATL and close to Bham. You can get to the beach (Panama City, 30A)fairly easily, makes it decent draw for fans. I went to the AU UGA game last year and had a blast, great tailgate scene.
  17. Back to normal memba these years? Gilbert-Ash-derp-18wheeler-boo, well, they are back.
  18. Great tune, totally me era at UT. Listened to REM non stop in the Castle
  19. Playing the what if game.... Urban crafts the CDC tweet, buys everyone more time. He tells us he is a maybe but needs more time. That time is spent on staff alignment, family considerations, getting through Fox contract and letting Herman swing in the wind a little more. I think its plausible. He puts the wife on 100% lockdown, no leaks etc...If he opts not to come (the damage to Herm is complete) and if he does come, he's factored that in to how much more difficult building this class will be. Minimizing that point is the transfer portal... he would crush the market, thus making a delayed announcement less severe to recruiting. A lot of variables I know, but the CDC tweet gives me hope that he's still in play. CDC may have told him I will not fire a coach until the season is over, in which case he is keeping his longstanding standard in place. Plus he may be waiting for other jobs to come open. USC appears to be out of play, would he go to Aub? doubt it. Michigan? long shot. Would Kelly retire with a natty? maybe. Him not taking himself out of '21 coaching public;y is interesting. Next 30 days will be fun to watch.
  20. Next year at OU, Buckeye, Wisc, @Minn, Iowa, NW....looking like another tough year for Corn
  21. Pns-atl-srq and back this week I’ll keep an eye out.
  22. To the OP, I think the fact that we pay top top dollar for coaches and assistants has a lot to do with it. Texas is a destination job like few others, so when coaches finally get here, there is a certain sense of "I've made it". I think what motivates a lot of younger coaches is to get to a place where they feel like professionally they are at the top of their field and Texas touches that box. Once here, I really think they stop grinding like they did when they were younger and hungrier. They coast a bit. Throw in the huge amount of money we always pay and the coaches have realize a windfall if it doesnt work out. We do things the right way in terms of employment, its professional, coaches all get treated well and its not a grind anymore to them. Take Auburn, Maryland (only b/c they beat us recently), OSU, Baylor etc...coaches jump ship from there all the time to take bigger better jobs. The replacements are always working their asses off to make it. Unless TX coaches get fired, they would never leave, so all they have to do just enough to keep their cushy job. The only way to change the culture is to hire a stemwinder like Saban or Meyer. The people (I work with high net worth individuals) I work with that have the most $$ and run the most profitable/successful businesses have two things in common: 1. they have the best Leadership 2. they have a Plan We have not had the best Leadership since right prior to Mack winning the title. After the title, the rot set in. Everyone was getting paid huge amounts of money, Strength guy, Coordinators etc...add in Mack trying to change the plan (to go more Bama heavy run oriented Offense, missing clear signs the HUNH was coming), compounded with the the lack of hungry assistants (brought on by big salaries and a title run) and a lack of plan to deal with complacency is the reason we have under-performed the last 15years, imo.
