  1. The corollary: everyone knows Harrell is not a comfort hire or a buddy hire. 

    But isn't he an "almost comfort" hire? I mean, Herman did coach Bru McCoy for two seconds, who Harrell also coached, so shouldn't we be wringing vag over this?

  2. Have you not been around for the past 3 months?
     

    No, I haven't. "I missed it!"

    I usually don't venture onto Surly during the regular season, and if so it's the recruiting board.

  3. Chris Ash and Rhett Lashlee would be so on brand for Herman. A buddy and a lazy hire slightly outside his coaching tree. It would be 2017 all over again. 
     
     

    Oh man now we're doing "almost comfort" hire complaining of hires not yet hired.

    I had forgotten how miserable people could be on here, and tbh I missed it!

    Right. Dude is still out there working the recruiting trail hard for USC. If not strongly considering other options, it's be in his best interest to shut that distraction down. Like, today. Plz. Thx

  5. Why would we pay through the nose to bring a guy in to run the same shit we’ve been watching?

    The number of people who think Harrell would be coming in to run what Tom wants him to is baffling. Tom is Tom and say what you want about him, but he wouldn't be wasting Harrell's, and his own time if that were the case.

  6. Anything new on the Traylor-to-Lamar rumor? Like to get him here for recruiting purposes.

    He's supposed to be interviewing with Lamar today.

     

    Have also seen rumors that he could be retained by next staff at Arky.

  7. He makes 750,000 at App St not to mention much more notoriety here. 

    I think immediate $ would be about the only reason. One more successful year at App State and his name will be pretty much blazing in HC conversations.

  8. Why is it risky?  It’s fucking Texas.

    And if you think about it, staying in the situation he's in right now is a risk within itself. And it's not like there are a ton of risk-free lateral moves out there he'd be turning down.

     

    Coaches take chances. Not sure why this is being viewed as some new concept Harrell would be exploring.

  9. If you were Harrell why would you roll the dice with Tom Herman and Texas?

    Coaches and players often see things differently than fans and media. You and me may see it as rolling the dice, while Harrell probably sees it as an opportunity to prove himself, and probably has enough confidence in himself/ego to believe he'll succeed.

    Or maybe that's the way he feels about the situation at USC.

    And then there'$ money$, if it all adds up correctly.

  10. Great point on a Co-DC setup being used for lots of CFB coaching staffs.  If Chris Ash is hired for the Texas job, Mensa should bring in a strong DL/LB coach to help balance the defensive coaching staff.

    The part you quoted was the part from 2 days ago. The stuff earlier in the article is more recent. Since they are rather contradictory. 

    Yah, that's just fucking annoying.

    It was on the open post that was posted today. Again, i'm not sure when the update was posted since there aren't any time stamps. 

    https://texas.thefootballbrainiacs.com/2019/12/open-post-weekend-december-6th-8th/

    I mean, it is an update, from the 6th-8th open post, 

     

    "***Was just told that it’s looking very likely that Harrell will take the Texas job. Was told that the offer is just too good to pass up."

     

    I can see how that is confusing if this is indeed old information. That is annoying, if it is.

    he regressed this year IMO. yes he is a very good QB and is definitely better than his freshman year.

    Agree with this. More "WTF?" moments with sailing balls or skipping them to receivers. Not getting it out in front of them over the middle/down the seem, letting dbs catch up. Some interesting decisions with his feet. Maybe a little hesitation when there used to not be.

     

    Not sure how much to credit coaching. But, whatever...

  14. 95% of P5 FB coaches are on the hot seat if they shit the bed, this is not unique. 

     

    Let’s remember this is coming from FCB, who’s always been for hire and agents use him often.

    Super K is FCB?

     

    Obviously it's not unique, but when you're Texas and shit is taking this long to get turned around, who really gives a shit?

     

    If it's not capped, and not my money, I'm not gunna be that concerned about someone else's pockets.

  15. You're asking an up and coming coordinator in demand to relocate to a situation where the HC is sitting in a pretty warm seat. Yah, you're probably gunna have to overspend.

  16. Gary Kubiak would be an interesting candidate. Good at quickly improving offenses and has Texas ties. Bonus... Would piss off a lot of Ags if he came to Texas and helped turn the program around.
