Screaming and yelling at players used to be not frowned upon.

 

Hell, I heard Mack used to scream at the players while showering. "Yall cost Greg his job and now you're about to get me fired!!"

From some players I knew the last thing you wanted was to be called into his office

[Dijon Robinson 1511]

Lots of consternation in this thread when it's been made pretty clear that the job is Urban's if he wants it and that, if he's not on the Texas sidelines next year, it won't be because of lack of trying by the administration

And yet nearly every one of his star players from CSF & UT not only turned out for his memorial service, but spoke at it, often through tears.  This leads me to to believe that the “asshole” term is overblown.  And yes, I’ve seen the Linklater video.

I'm sure plenty of players would show up and be brought to tears if Urban died tomorrow.

His players loved him though so while he screamed and cussed and was a hardass I don't know about the asshole part.

Maybe not. He was certainly abrasive and didn't put much above winning.

In no way am I trying to disparage Augie. Just commenting that he was a complicated man not without fault. And was beloved and kicked all kinds of ass here despite it.

Mack brown liked one of my Facebook posts 5 years ago. It was pretty cool. I can’t imagine being called into his office would be much different than that.

The fact that CDC has almost literally said nothing even after that has become a talking point of the media and even his head coach would seem to be very telling.  I just hope he is waiting for the convenient loss to make the decision known.  

But I just don’t see how you fire him if he somehow pulls off a conference championship.  It would figure that he finally wins a conference title once everyone is done with him and Urban is available.  

If you have UM committed to come you sure do fire Herman.  He is just too much trouble.  Flipping off LHN, running on field to fight Gundy, whatever that was that he did at the Mizzu bowl game, his wife on twitter, his personal life, the list goes on and on.  And that's just the things we know about.

[MAUFRAIS 6633]

remember last year when he said his favorite thanksgiving food was ravioli?

[TexasEx 1667]

Therm has definitely hired some Russian twitter folk to peddle his narrative. I’ve seen the identical tweet posted from 3-4 different accounts.

None of that shit would matter if we were winning. Most people here loved the Mizzou thing at the time because we were kicking their ass.

I just remember some of his post game interviews where he was trying to hold it together but he was just so mad and trying not to scream obscenities in Craig Way's face.

"That was...CRAP...what we did today...I don't know what the...HECK...we are doing out here..."

It just made me feel so much better to know the coach was actually more pissed off about the loss than I was.

When Herman said this I thought he was trying to be clever and unique, like when he calls a deep ball on 3rd and short. They just both look and sound stupid.

Yep.  That won't stop a large segment of the fanbase from blaming CDC if Urban doesn't take the job.

Not everyone gets along.  At one job, on my first day, a colleague told me he wanted them to hire another guy - our relationship went down from there.  Complaining about working on your vacation? What are you, European? 

[troph 24905]

“Don’t you get it??!!! This isn’t a game, this is about life.” Or something like that.

“I’ve totally failed you.”

Values and expectations, for and of himself and his players, and that produced the results. His anger was based on failure to meet them. Not pride, not ego, not cya, not fear, not money. I’ll take people like that in my life anyday. That’s pure greatness. Herman will never play at Augie’s level. Never. Meyer yes. Now CDC make the hire.
