Yeah I’m sick of the “winning is really hard” bullshit.  It’s amazing that Herman makes North of $5mil a year and somehow sees himself as a victim.  There were clear signs that he wasn’t up for this job and now he’s proven over four years he can’t complete with OU so not sure what else matters at this point.  Tom don’t go away mad, just go away.  Herman is a great underdog coach.  The problem is Texas isn’t an underdog school.  A great job for Tom would be South Carolina.

I brought up Michelle because a few days ago she was retweeting Courtney Smith and liking tweets talking about how Urban and Shelley Meyer are sacks of shit and abuse enablers.

Why would she be doing this now when we are winning games? Obviously the Urban to Texas talk is getting to the Hermans, enough so that there was a question about Meyer and a very detailed response given in the press conference. 

Probably means Urban is coming

Yeah that’s indefensible. She needs to shut the fuck up. Stop trying to sway my opinion on Urban because I’m unswayable. He wins football games consistently, and your husband (also a known piece of shit) doesn’t win enough.

You will find similar sentiments on Facebook (also recommend avoiding) because the people on there are fly by night fans that may know the name of the starting QB and that is the depth of their knowledge of football.  Their level of knowledge on cat memes is off the charts however.

I love Joel Klatt.  Him and Gus are the best announcers in the business.  Seems like a down to earth guy that is simply a fan of all football.  He knows bullshit when he sees it and is seeing a bunch of bullshit go on with Herman.  When a big talking head of a major outlet like Joel Klatt calls out Herman's bullshit, it only helps the narrative that he's a sinking ship.

Tom Herman confronts Urban Meyer rumors       😂😂😂

By Zach Barnett -   November 16, 2020

They went there in Austin today. During Tom Herman’s weekly press conference, the Texas head coach was asked if he’s concerned about the rumors that he’ll be fired and replaced by Urban Meyer after this season.

“I’m concerned about our players. I’m concerned about our program. I’m concerned about beating Kansas. I’m concerned about all of our goals still being in front of us,” he said.  “With our players it’s really easy because they know the truth. There’s a second of people within our enterprise that know the truth, and then there’s rumors. There’s unnamed sources, there’s agendas, there’s Internet reporters that claim their own opinion as fact. The player part is really easy, almost comical where a player will come up to me and say, ‘Coach, you’ll never guess what lunacy just came across my feed.’

“The recruiting part’s a different story. When you have the things that have been written about us and our program, myself and our future, very unfounded articles that state opinion as fact, that state unnamed sources as factual, that’s very hard to defend against. If I’m a competing recruiter, what do you do? You press print and you say, ‘Look, this is true. It must be true, it’s on Orangefans.com,” Herman concluded.  The ironic part about Herman’s answer is that the question was asked by Anwar Richardson, who works for Orangebloods.com. So it’s very possible Richardson or one of his colleagues wrote the very articles Herman just lamented.  And, yes, annoying as it must be to deal with job rumors swirling over your head while trying to sell recruits on spending the next 4-to-5 years in Austin, he’s far from the first or last coach to deal with that particular job hazard.

Just ask rival Lincoln Riley, who has been hired away by half the NFL by this point according to the rumor mill. While the genesis of those rumors are totally different, the message to recruits is the same — that the coach recruiting him won’t be around long.

Texas has won its last three games. Thanks to off weeks bookending wins over Baylor, Oklahoma State and West Virginia, it’s been five Saturdays since the Longhorns have lost a game.

With no recent loss to ruminate over, the Austin media has focused its palace intrigue on Chris Del Conte’s Twitter account. The Texas AD, you see, didn’t tweet about any of the football team’s wins during its ongoing streak, while making a point to praise victories by other UT teams.

 

 

“I couldn’t be more aligned with our athletic director, my boss, who we meet with constantly, who has assured me of his support and the support of university leadership, and who has commended me and my staff for how we have handled the craziest year in college football history,” Herman said.  “I know what is said to me eye to eye, man to man, in offices, in meetings and all of that. There is no stock placed in the tweet count of a 50-year-old man,” he said later.

Texas will likely be favored in its last three games, road trips to Kansas and Kansas State sandwiched around a home date with Iowa State. Win each of those and Texas will be back in the Big 12 Championship, likely against the winner of Saturday night’s Bedlam game.  Win that (B12 CCG) and Herman will have forced UT’s hand, to keep him for 2021 or fire the coach who just secured the first Big 12 title in 11 years.

Urban Meyer diagnoses the three reasons that teams struggle and underachieve

By Doug Samuels -    November 17, 2020

Whether it’s the craziness of brought by COVID, or any other variety of factors, the 2020 season has been a struggle for a number of teams that expected to be faring far better at this point in the season. Teams like LSU, Penn State, and Michigan are teams that immediately come to mind when you think of disappointing starts, but there are plenty of others.

On Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff show, Urban Meyer was asked about teams that are struggling and he mentioned the importance of “checking under the hood.” Asked to expand on that, Urban diagnosed the three reasons that teams struggle.

“So many of us are excuse makers, that’s just part of who we are and it shouldn’t be that way. When you see a team struggle, the first thing that the fans and the media blame are the players and then they blame the coaches.”

“Never make excuses. When I was a coach, I would never let one of my coaches say, ‘He’s a bad player.’ I would warn him, ‘Say that again and you’ll probably have to leave,” because now you’re just making excuses. Dig deep and find out why.”

“Every time that I have had a team struggle, every time, it has fallen into one of three categories; number one, there is some sort of trust issue. The player don’t trust the coach, or the coach doesn’t trust the players, or, often when the players don’t trust each other.”

“Number two, it’s called a dysfunctional work environment. Where the expectations are really high, but we don’t work hard. The coach has to be really clear with his team and realize that is going to lead to frustration, anger, disappointment, because we want to win a championship, but I’ve got news guys…we’re not working hard. Your work ethic must exceed or equate your expectations.”

The third one is “You’ve got a selfish team, man…Football is an unselfish sport. You’ve got to do the nasty; that means as a running back you have to go protect your quarterback, you don’t always get to carry the ball. Sometimes you have to run down and cover the kickoff at 22 miles per hour, throw yourself into someone running the other way at 15 miles per hour. That’s not fun. Why would you do that? Because you love your team and your teammates.”

“So when you hear teams like LSU, Penn State, and the Wolverines struggling, stop with the talk about bad players. I get so sick of hearing that. It’s not the players. I don’t think it’s the coaches. But there is something wrong. Lift the hood and find out one of those three things.”

See Urban’s full comments in the clip.

https://footballscoop.com/news/urban-meyer-diagnoses-the-three-reasons-that-teams-struggle-and-underachieve/

I hear what Urban is saying, but there's an implicit assumption that any coach can be successful. Some people suck at their job and others will never be more than mediocre. Trust, work ethic, and selflessness may be necessary for a team to reach its potential. Coaching (including recruiting, development, and scheme) sets the ceiling though unless you have a transcendent talent like Vince Young. Most coaches aren't Urban Meyer or Saban or Dabo and never will be. No matter how many Ohio State coaches he hires, Herman just is not in Urban's league and will never achieve the same level of success. He can do better than losing to TCU and squeaking by Tech, but I think Texas expects more than that.

I think Tom was watching Urban on TV Saturday and listened to that segment where he spoke about teams that aren't winning..  And he realized that the shoe fit, and that ruffled his feathers.

Joel Klatt blasts Tom Herman's recruiting at Texas

ByCLINT BUCKLEY 44 minutes ago

Despite a three-game winning streak, there are questions swirling around Tom Herman’s future as head coach of the Texas Longhorns. Earlier this week, Herman addressed rumors that Urban Meyer could be brought in to replace Herman after this year.

While Texas has regrouped following early-season losses to TCU and Oklahoma, the Longhorns (5-2) have taken a significant hit on the recruiting trail. Texas lost two major quarterback commits in recent months, and another significant 2021 pledge to rival Oklahoma.

FOX analyst Joel Klatt did not hold back in his criticism of Herman and Texas’ recruiting.

“It's a problem,” Klatt said this week on The Herd with Colin Cowherd. “It certainly wasn't the case when Mack (Brown) was winning a lot of games. They've gotten a lot of good recruiting classes but they've lost that luster in the state. It's not just Oklahoma and Texas A&M. LSU and Alabama have been getting in there. Ohio State….Tom Herman came out and said it's hurting us in recruiting that there are rumors about Urban Meyer in Texas. You don’t address that. Tom you don't address that. Go out there and win games, keep your job and you'll be fine. I don't quite understand, Texas A&M has really hit the recruiting trail hard and Lincoln Riley is an excellent recruiter.”

Tom Herman confronts Urban Meyer rumors       😂😂😂

By Zach Barnett -   November 16, 2020

They went there in Austin today. During Tom Herman’s weekly press conference, the Texas head coach was asked if he’s concerned about the rumors that he’ll be fired and replaced by Urban Meyer after this season.

“I’m concerned about our players. I’m concerned about our program. I’m concerned about beating Kansas. I’m concerned about all of our goals still being in front of us,” he said.  “With our players it’s really easy because they know the truth. There’s a second of people within our enterprise that know the truth, and then there’s rumors. There’s unnamed sources, there’s agendas, there’s Internet reporters that claim their own opinion as fact. The player part is really easy, almost comical where a player will come up to me and say, ‘Coach, you’ll never guess what lunacy just came across my feed.’

“The recruiting part’s a different story. When you have the things that have been written about us and our program, myself and our future, very unfounded articles that state opinion as fact, that state unnamed sources as factual, that’s very hard to defend against. If I’m a competing recruiter, what do you do? You press print and you say, ‘Look, this is true. It must be true, it’s on Orangefans.com,” Herman concluded.  The ironic part about Herman’s answer is that the question was asked by Anwar Richardson, who works for Orangebloods.com. So it’s very possible Richardson or one of his colleagues wrote the very articles Herman just lamented.  And, yes, annoying as it must be to deal with job rumors swirling over your head while trying to sell recruits on spending the next 4-to-5 years in Austin, he’s far from the first or last coach to deal with that particular job hazard.

Just ask rival Lincoln Riley, who has been hired away by half the NFL by this point according to the rumor mill. While the genesis of those rumors are totally different, the message to recruits is the same — that the coach recruiting him won’t be around long.

Texas has won its last three games. Thanks to off weeks bookending wins over Baylor, Oklahoma State and West Virginia, it’s been five Saturdays since the Longhorns have lost a game.

With no recent loss to ruminate over, the Austin media has focused its palace intrigue on Chris Del Conte’s Twitter account. The Texas AD, you see, didn’t tweet about any of the football team’s wins during its ongoing streak, while making a point to praise victories by other UT teams.

 

 

“I couldn’t be more aligned with our athletic director, my boss, who we meet with constantly, who has assured me of his support and the support of university leadership, and who has commended me and my staff for how we have handled the craziest year in college football history,” Herman said.  “I know what is said to me eye to eye, man to man, in offices, in meetings and all of that. There is no stock placed in the tweet count of a 50-year-old man,” he said later.

Texas will likely be favored in its last three games, road trips to Kansas and Kansas State sandwiched around a home date with Iowa State. Win each of those and Texas will be back in the Big 12 Championship, likely against the winner of Saturday night’s Bedlam game.  Win that (B12 CCG) and Herman will have forced UT’s hand, to keep him for 2021 or fire the coach who just secured the first Big 12 title in 11 years.

Same, I've kind of lost interest in the football program except for possible changes.  That's a big change for me, and I'm not a super donor or anything, but I've definitely helped the program until recently.
