So, we still know basically shit. What we actually know: Team cancels practice after blowout win Team going into COVID protocols Herman cancelling a remote presser with COVID as excuse (this one is the biggest "something's up" to me; he held remote pressers all year. Makes me suspect he was gagged by CDC.) Herman is an average to slightly above average coach but not elite, who is an arrogant jerk so he gets none of the grace Charlie got Herman's recruiting class fell apart after the OU loss (as anyone with half a brain could see that a lot of that one was on poor coaching decisions) CDC has to do something to salvage recruiting even if it means not getting your number 1 guy as setting back the program 2-6 years on recruiting is worse than Herman and staff's buyouts The Fox Saturday team ribbed Meyer repeatedly about taking a coaching job and Meye was preoccupied with his answers Meyer praises Sam as a warrior and a leader and repeats that There is no journalistic integrity and major newspapers will report un-sourced trash like a gossiping southern church lady Other than that, we don't know shit. We have a Chip Brown report that Meyer is leaning no. We have all sorts of bullshit speculation from 9.95ers. And NONE OF IT MATTERS. Herman's not getting canned until after the regular season if he didn't get canned after ISU. So we must wait until KU is cancelled or after KU plays. If Meyer was ever in play (which we don't actually know and to what extent he is/was/ever was etc..), he's still equally in play. It's always a longshot. However, there's also a decent chance we don't get Meyer, or we get a less than slam dunk hire like Campbell or Franklin. And there's still the chance that if no other coach wants to come, we're stuck with Turtle Tom. So, until there's a formal press release or actual statement from CDC/Belmont, we still don't know shit, should smoke some meat and drink some whisk(e)y, and hope CDC doesn't fuck this up.

No. No rapists.

I was referring to the 2007 Pendleton cuss out. He's apparently lost a significant chunk of weight now.

Might need Mangino to come yell at CDC if something good doesn't happen soon.

Dr. Who and football? That's a first for me...

Yeah, Herman not doing a Zoom presser today is the only true data point we have today.

So he's the grinch that stole Christmas?

How about aggy hellspawn, gossiping ass clown, devourer of anal-fissure puss?

How about gossiping ass clown?

That was the last time in forever we had a competent OL...

Nepotism. It's easy to make a billion if you have $100M at age 30.

What are you basing that off of? No Herman firing yet and a Chip post? It's still possible. It's not probably, but still possible.

Look you surly horns... it's still possible. Chip is wrong all the time, and all the other stories are clickbait using Chip's reporting as their "source". Getting Urbs was always going to be a long shot. I have felt if you didn't fire Herman after the ISU game, you aren't going to fire him until the regular season is over. So let's wait one more week before doom and gloom. NSD1 is already screwed and nothing's going to change that at this point. Until CDC or Belmont holds a formal presser / makes a statement / issues a press release, this is all just guessing. I would hope that Herman is fired as the hit to recruiting is worth his buyout. Hell, I'd be fine with firing Herman and having Ash as interim. It's clear to me that our coordinators are hamstrung by Herman's stink. It's unclear if it's Hand or Herman or Yurcich that continues to insist on outside zone but we did look a lot better in that blocking scheme with Majors at center. Herman gets too narrow focused on his favorites / rewards seniority too much. I.e. Kerstetter at C or giving KI the rock instead of BR for the majority of the season. Which I think outside of keeping G5 coaches for 3 seasons is his biggest weakness. If we can get even a halfway decent Xs and Os coach who will institute a meritocracy, it will be an improvement over Herman.

Don't you dare trot out that reasonable thinking and reality! /s

KU wasn't the last game of the season in 2016. He was fired whether he beat TCU or not over Thanskgiving.

If we didn't fire Charlie Strong mid season, we're not firing Herman until the regular season is over. I think it's as simple as that. (whether or not Urbs is coming is a different question).

Ok... been gone for several hours... looks like you are all saying Urbs is a no go? What are we basing that off of? That Herman hasn't been fired yet? (Hint... he's not getting fired until after regular season is over, if at all. You can't let Charlie finish his season but not Herman.)

Boosters don't have to be the ones back channeling. All they have to do is talk to Hartzell/CDC and say how they are voting with their dollars. I.e. "We have $20M by December 15 and $X million by Summer 2021 if you Y".

I don't deserve anything. I *want* to win. But without going Jerusalem on the Brazos rapey.

Off topic: does this board have an IRC channel or discord or something like that?

While I personally don't want Herman to stay, all of you fuckers need to realize that it's quite possible, nay probable, that we're stuck with the turtle for next season. The AD's office obviously doesn't care about recruiting like we do and expect us to make money whether we are top of the mountain or not.

That's a "bug a salt". Shoots salt at bugs to kill them.

LOL. If CTJ has a flaw it's he likes JD instead of better whisky. Always seems to have good takes on the fooooosballll.
