This is exactly the concern I've had the last few weeks, except that UM may not still be available a year from now so there's nol happy ending then. It's why I wanted them to go ahead and fire TH after OU when there was justification so we wouldn't risk losing UM by just assuming TH will step on his own dick one more time rhis year when he knows he has to win them all.
I've seen this program fuck up golden opportunities time and again by being indecisive and worryimg about optics over winning, not the least of which was missing out on Saban. I'm fully preparimg for TH to fuck us over by winning out, CDC deciding he can't make a move this year, and UM going off the market. All because we hesitated when we should have acted after OU.
If we fuck up this chance I don't care if TH stays or goes. We'd just make yet another underwhelming hire and rinse and repeat history. There's too much going on in life for me to obsess over a second rate program that can't get out of their own way to realize their potential. My interest has already been fading for a number of years, and if we don't get it right this time with UM I don't think I'm going to really care much anymore anyway.
I gtew up a diehard Cowboy fan and now I can't even stand to watch the NFL at all anymore. It just wasn't fun anymore and I lost interest. I've been starting to feel the same loss of interest in UT and am afraid it's on the same path. Losing UM may well seal the deal like hiring Switzer did in Dallas.
