I went to every Gator home game in 2008 along with the SEC Championship and NC game while doing my MBA there. I have witnessed an Urban Meyer coached team up close and in person.
I am certain that Meyer will win at Texas if he is given the opportunity. I wouldn't expect anything past year 4, but who knows. I didn't expect Saban to still be coaching at Bama at this point, and damn sure never saw Mack's resurgence at UNC.
I hope that Texas does the smart thing and is working numbers with Urban right now. I don't care when Herman is fired, as long as it isn't more than 24 hours after our last regular season game. But make it known immediately after that Urban is our guy.
I agree completely with you about letting OU run this conference because we are scared to hire someone like Urban.
I had SEC friends texting asking if I was having a heart attack watching the OU game, and I let them know that I really didn't even care enough to get excited either way. It would have been great to win, but I figured we wouldn't.
I think that Urban is interested in Texas and that it could happen, but based on 30 years of following Texas Football, I highly doubt it.
