Urban Meyer or bust
Well what you said is really vague, so I don’t know. But if entitlement is an issue, then USC has problems too. Where do you live? I think your take is too Texas centric. Let’s not pretend their athletic department has been better than ours.

Urban Meyer or bust
So he wouldn’t want to coach at USC either?

If you hire Urban, you sleep easy because you know no one else could do better.

Some people really don't have the stomach for this. Texas is a great job, and it might be available before USC even plays a game.

I'm not assuming anything, but I really wonder where his head is at. Do you even want to keep the job if it feels like your boss doesn't want you? Conversations with CDC have probably been pretty awkward.

It's like being down 3-0 after 2 months in the NBA bubble. I'm not rooting to lose, but the thought that I'll get to go home and see my kids has crossed my mind.

Now that we know Urban likes Notre Dame, I really want to hear about his interest level in coaching Clemson or Alabama next year.

I'll take least interesting topics on the board for $500, Alex.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2021
I just want to see him recruit against our rivals this offseason. Screen shots of their anxiety will get me to the Spring Game.

Guys. I shelled out big bucks to sublease this thread through December. It's the "Fire Tom Herman, Hire Urban Meyer" thread until 12/1. Take all other coaching talk somewhere else.

Urban Meyer is still available. Let's show some discipline.

Seems like a step down from the Kevin Wilson / Ryan Day pairing. Is he old enough to rent a car?

Texas Recruiting Notes 2021
Urban would be a great gameday coach. I'm sure of that. I just need an Urban offseason to get me out of this malaise. The offseason is too long, especially if it's starting in November this year.

He’ll tell a compelling story from day 1.

Yeah, not to sound like a broken record, but everything that's going on is weird. Flame throwers are out, no one is defending the coach, and they're spending time doing podcasts about a potential new hire.

Support staff, I think. The guys behind the guy.

Tom "the turtle" Herman [Lame Duck or greatest 5d chess player ever?]
Ok, I’m done.

Coaches have to start somewhere. Matt Rhule? He’d have had us in the playoff. We just picked the wrong guys.

The reasons they failed were different. They had a much different profile. Your assessment offers little insight. But go get yourself a cookie.

Thanks for the reply. I can't imagine Burton going out on a limb unless he doing someone a favor. It's not in his best business interests to do so if Herman has the chance to return. He's not mincing words or hedging. Something must be up.

LOL. My thought was "when did everyone start talking like my high school principal?"

I hope we hire Urban just so half of Liucci's screeds will be about Texas.

All these negative pieces on Herman do make it feel like the timeline is accelerated for whatever the heck is going on. Is it boosters trying to sully Tom's name? Or is it boosters AND administration laying the groundwork?

I'm on the Urban train because he's available. I'm on that train until Urban makes himself unavailable. It's a much cleaner courtship than having to poach someone.
