    Its about removing variables and increasing your odds that you made a good hire.  Neither of the places where those guys are succeeding has as many demands of its head coach as Texas does, rightly or wrongly.  Would either of those guys have been successful taking over Texas without a P5 head coaching gig elsewhere?  I don’t know, and neither do you.  But what is beyond a doubt is that we are incapable of identifying an up and coming coach who’s success as a coordinator at the P5 level translates to head coaching success at Texas.  So stop trying.  Limit the experience gap between what a new coach has done and is being asked to do.  Texas is not a program that should have to resort to unproven coaches that will be learning on the job.

    And that’s all the fucking problem here. Let’s be real. All the added bullshit that we have created and the ceo type shit needs to go away. Just go out and hire the best fucking guy whether he’s a current head coach somewhere or a current coordinator somewhere. Get the best no bullshit football first guy.

    Unless he is fired mid season, there is way too much season left for T&C to come up with an excuse to keep him another year. 

    You have to fire Herman mid season and get a jump on a candidate, especially if you can get a guy like Urban. 
     

     

    Now more than ever with the early signing day. It’s not like the old days where you can wait and fire a coach after the season. 90%+ of NLI are signed early in December. 

  3. Well all know what’s going to happen with this song. If they try to cancel it you’re going to have big donors from academic and athletic side threaten to pull funds. With that threat will come a massive shift in stance and the song will stay and there will be a rule about the song put in place. 
     

    money will win out just as it always does and did with the NBA players in their less than 24 hour hold out.

    So after sleeping off the booze, weed and knee jerk anger, I now feel like Herman needs to be executed and his head put on a pike outside Belmont as a warning to any UT athletic director who would hire an unproven head coach at the P5 level in the future.  Any more time given to Herman is delaying the inevitable.  He has lost all credibility with fans, recruits and even the team.  If the players believed in his sorry ass, they would translate his weekly post-game admonishments about the team needing to play better into, I don’t know, maybe actually playing better?  But they don’t.  They just hang their heads and say they need to be better while continuing to repeat the same self-destructive mental mistakes over and over and over and over.

    Herman’s done.  All that’s unknown is how long it takes CDC to realize it and act accordingly.

    Kirby Smart was an unproven head coach at one point. 
     

    Lincoln Riley was an unproven head coach. 
     

    we need to stop creating bullshit criteria and just go hire the best coaches we can find whether they be a HC currently or a coordinator.

    I’d say boneheaded penalties committed by O line:

    unsportsmanlike when Sam had run to 1yd line 

    offsides on 4th & 2 moving Texas out of FG range
     

    holding in OT making 1st and goal be from 19yd line

    Texas has an OL coach who neither recruits well (king of the three star) or coach well. Every week this group torpedoes the team with shit play. 
     

    This team is fucked. 

    At this point you can’t even blame the individual coaches because the rot is coming from the head guy down.

    A friend of mine is with a company that provides stat analysis for college teams. Their book said that Texas should have gone for 2 at 31-23, but not at the end of regulation or in the 2nd OT. 

    Analytics isn’t everything. Sometimes you gotta make a “football” decision. The longer a game drags on like this one did the worse and harder it is for us.

    I thought I saw that, but LHN kind of cut away from it.

    After the first or second match, when they pretty conspicuously ignored the song, they interviewed Logan Eggleston and she confirmed that they were "not supporting it."  She didn't say it in a strident way or anything, it sounded more like solidarity with those who found it offensive without expressing an opinion either way.

    I would have to guess that students said something to them about the sort of "awk" nature of just ignoring it, so they quit doing that.  I guess students because I don't think Elliott or anyone on staff would say anything, and I think volleyball players are a bit more integrated with their fan base and students generally than most of our other high-profile athletes.

    I think this tweet is why there has been a change. That’s why I said earlier let’s see if other teams follow suit. I think some big money guys are getting pissed at the thought of it possibly going away. 
     

     

     

  8. None of that shit even matters. When they come here they are going to be coached by a weak minded all bark no bite pussy head coach. What we see on the field is literally Tom Herman’s bitch ass personality.
