  1. Eh, 5 days ago Herman had never fired a single person, ever.
  2. Let him call plays as HC in the booth. Spend another $6M for a DC who is also coHC for the field. Profit.
  3. Probably Greg Davis recommendation for DC, because finding coaches is really really hard The circle of mentors is extremely small, right Tom?
  4. It's more complicated than that, playing archaic offenses makes defenses look better, making players look better, putting more players into the league, and boosting recruiting. UT suffers from playing much more prolific offenses, causing the inverse. Take a look at LSU and Bama this year, the better the offenses they play the worse their defenses look. And the faster their own offenses play, the worse their own defenses look. The best team with the best coach with consistently the best recruiting classes every year for the past decade had a their defense fall significantly this year, particularly when facing a really good, fast offense. LSU spun up their offense and either forgot how to play defense or are feeling the effects, particularly when facing good, fast offenses.
  5. The Braille edition sounds pretty awesome, actually. Are they life size?
  6. All true, and proof FFTH wasn't retained because of his buyout. Buyout will drop $5M next year, guaranteed assistant money will probably increase ~$10M, when we fire him next year.
  7. OU, aggy and pig relatives? Holy shit, I'm glad my extended family is a bunch of dumbasses. Brothers inlaws are uneducated fucktards from OU, dude was harshly correcting the grammar of his 4 year old son, incorrectly.
  8. Cool, do you need a DC, and does it pay more than $3.50? Maybe give Sushi a look at OC and we can go fuck up an aggy season if we don't get fired before they play again.
  9. Whole lot of words, and apparently we are getting Urban Meyer in 2020. Its going to make the 2020 farewell tour much more tolerable knowing we will be back to winning in 2021
  10. More like Urban wants to silently bask in the team he put together and the MNC that should have been his, and is working on his contract points to replace FUTH next year. USC recruiting has been in a nosedive, 20th last year and 60s this year with an 84.06 avg, woof. That's not "the class is tiny but talented", that's just bad. 11 commits, half are Ots, so basically polar opposite of aggy. Meanwhile,, UT has a lot of young talent and UMs agent can keep the recruiting hot by getting an early start on the rumor mill. A lot of posters who aren't thrilled about an Ash hire will be more than pleased when he's retained by the next coach.
  11. He looks like he might head butt terrific tom repeatedly before each game. So, he might be an improvement?
  12. He's ash my dude is going to be our DC for 1 year, isn't he?
  13. Fuck that, it's Gus for OC. Serious splash hire recruits have heard of, should have a great impact on this class.
  14. Fucking agreed. never wanted assface as a coach, now I'm just pissed we have to deal with him for another year. If reports Fedora are moving on then he's not an idiot. I figured all staff replacements were already here and we would see Ash, Beaty and Fedora fill in as Tom really dug deep through his extensive coaching contacts. Either way, his buyout next year is going to increase after you add in all the guaranteed money we have to sign replacing half his staff.
  15. Ya, that connection probably led meh to think they had a certain level of trust, that he could be critical to his former boss and it would stay between them. Meanwhile, Ash is like, "I need a fucking job. I'll cut you." Meh sucks, but fuckhole hired him, and kept him, so he sucks at his job worse than meh.
  16. It's a popular opinion around here that he hires his buddies. I think he's just so inexperienced that he doesn't have much of a coaching circle to look at or lean on. His first HC gig lasted 2 years with 1 staff, and he brought them along to Texas. He's never fired an assistant, but look at his lack of experience. 2 years at first stop and in his 3rd year here. And who does he have to lean on, "mentors" and whatnot? Urban would probably be the #1 guy to call, you know, the guy you worked for who is the best college coach in the past half century not named Saban. He was actually asked the question about mentors, his reply? "Well, there Mack, Greg, Larry Fedora, and the wife. The circle is extremely small". I see the real problem is he has no idea who he should hire, he doesn't really know that many coaches, and he doesn't have anyone competent he can ask. In other words, he is completely unprepared for the job. Being a good playcaller and OC does not translate to being a good HC. Job #1 for a HC is hiring and maintaining great assistants.
  17. By multiple recruiting services we are the composite #9 team talent ranking for both 4 and 5 years. Its fairly indicative of where teams rank with only FSU and aggy matching our failure to produce results in line with our talent.
  18. Pics of wife
  19. Is Harbaugh related to Al Bundy?
  20. Mensa/conspiracy level theory: good recruiters should be far more abundant and easier to find than really, really good coaches. Ones who do both are rare. rebuilding a dumpster fire can be accomplished by bringing in a shit load of talent or bringing is a great coaching staff. if you bring in a great coaching staff ala Matt rhule, ~3 years and you're winning big, recruiting will start to pick up steam. If you bring in great recruiters and stock the roster with blue chips for ~3 years, then bring in really good coaches....Profit OR insecure narcissist who is also a very very inexperienced HC, brings the only coaches he really knows. He's in so far over his own head that he's frozen into inaction, he constantly checks his bank account online because hes amazed the checks keep coming.
  21. So that means at least 2 coaches are leaving after our game, let the speculation begin
  22. The best coach in the past 40 years not named Saban is sitting on the sidelines for 1 year. Yeah he's probably a narcissist and an asshole. But you are one of a handful of teams that could get him (I think you can add a few more, probably 10 or so) You have to at least reach out and talk possibilities. he will take the call. If not for an extension Tom is likely coaching for his job Friday if it hasn't already been decided to move on. Every single aspect of the program has fallen into shambles outside recruiting and that rope is fraying. with contracts these days letting 10 mil be the deciding factor in not hiring Urban would be incredibly dumb.
  23. His particular coaching fraternity is extremely small, he basically said so himself. When asked about coaching mentors he can talk to, he mentioned Mack who had an office down the hall, Fedora who is on staff, GDGD lolwtf, and his wife. The circle is extremely small, his words. The best bridge he had is burned, Meyer could probably offer up some damn good advice from the outside looking in and no distractions like his own team to coach. And he might just be a good resource or for an introduction to potential assistants. I believe job #1 is hiring/replacing/firing good coaches, and he fucking sucks at that. Being good at Xs and 0's does not translate into being good at hiring first among a metric ton of other duties as HC of a big program. He doesn't have enough friends and contacts in the coaching world and he sucks at hiring/firing so I personally do not trust him.
  24. Yep, and too bad del conte didn't just say "fuckface has my full and complete support, along with that of the university". Because that's what ADs say right before they drop the axe.
  25. Link or summary?
