I’m all for the Urban hire if we can swing it, but I just wanted to point something out.  There are a lot of mentions of him winning 3 titles, which is true.  I strongly believe that would be 2 titles if we hadn’t been fucked by the big 12 tiebreaker in 2008.  

Ok, carry on, let’s get Urban in here now!

1) Ohio State fans and worse media are pretty funny about this. "LOLZ Texas thinks they can get Meyer, there's no way, he doesn't want to coach again and he has health concerns that will keep him from ever coaching. Plus he'd never want to go to UT/Austin and he doesn't want to coach in the era of the transfer portal and name/likeness compensation.....

...but if he does LOLZ he'll get whipped by Ryan Day because he's old."

So we shouldn't go after him because of every reason you can think of, but even if he does it doesn't matter to Ohio State. Right. Whistling past the graveyard. 

2) I keep seeing people saying that he retired over health concerns. Not so. At least, not entirely. He also retired because he felt like the Ohio State administration threw him under the bus during the Zach Smith ordeal. There were a LOT of Ohio State people, ranging from internet dipshits to BMDs to people in the administration, that felt like Meyer's suspension was scapegoating him. Meyer felt that too. So this idea that it's just his poor broken brain that has him on the sideline-- nope.

Seems obvious that Urban is interested but not totally sure he's ready to coach again. 

Also, Texas will keep offering whatever it takes to get him.

Don't go to the 2nd candidate until Urban says no at least 10 times.

Ironically, unfucking the parity, substandard officiating and illogical scheduling (round robin + CCG) of the B12 might be the most significant agenda a new coach should bring to the program.

Here's a private plane with trips yesterday from Columbus, OH --> Austin and, after a one-hour pit stop, from Austin --> Orlando, FL.

Registered owner is Columbus-based real estate firm Joseph Skilkin & Co., presumably for use largely by Steve Skilken, President of the company who was an All-American diver at tOSU (and appears to be a significant donor to athletics - see page 37). Would cut against the narrative that UT BSDs are flying Urban around, but perhaps the Skilken and Meyer families are close given through ties in the tOSU athletic department and Columbus area and UT is footing the bill for the charter.

I have no idea why anyone thinks that some part-time, in-between gig on the Fox desk would keep him from taking a new job sooner than Dec 19th. 

Does he have a buyout with that contract? What's the most it could be with 2 weeks left? $100k? I seriously doubt it would take much more than Urban calling his boss and saying "hey I quit so, find someone else on Saturday I guess"

People are acting like he's the sitting secretary of state or a chancellor at some big-name university or some shit.

@Burt Macklin you just barely beat me to it 😁 guess we had the same breaking point over that nonsense.

People = Fuck Chip Brown and that is it.

FCB already has an agenda here and it probably due to getting shutout on some info after feeling he did CDC a favor by publishing the Eyes of Texas info for CDC.

Look at the dollars...high flyer like urb is worth $30 million.  Can easily add 30 to 40 more during next six years.   70 million x 4 % per year is over 2.5 times what they have now.

I was 100% serious. He built OU into a program that is light years ahead of Texas. They are about to win their 14th Big 12 championship.

We're stuck on three and have been for over a decade.

To be fair, I have never lived there, but as an outsider I will never understand the high regard in which Ohioans hold their state.  I've been to Cleveland and Cincinnati and just don't see the appeal.  It's gotta be like bottom 5 states in the country for me.

Seeing now that this plane made another same-day trip from Columbus --> Austin --> Columbus a week prior (11/18).

Urban is in good standing with a lot of people at Ohio St and I believe still collects a paycheck from them. I wouldn’t be surprised if their big money guys still let him use their aircraft to fly privately as part of his agreement.

Where does Urban’s agent live?  Could be him working out the negotiations and then to Florida to meet Urban.

So if he is still having to use donor aircraft Texas can now say fuck using someone else's have your own. We all know that Urban is what Texas needs but that is a lot of not my money that is about to be spent. Why is it that even though it is not my money it feels a little overpriced when we know winning pays for itself.

Would we really fly in Meyer before firing Herman? If Herman is doing a presser today, that's not good for our odds with Meyer. Signing day is coming up fast.

Yeah but if he needs to come to austin (which he doesn’t right now) a plane will be supplied for him.

He’s not saying “ok, let me call for my plane and I’ll let you know when it’s available”.

If he’s flying back and forth to LA then yeah, you probably right.

Shiiiiiiit, the opportunity to get whipped by Day in a playoff game is 5000x better than getting whipped by TCU in a regular game. Is there one true Longhorn fan who would turn that down? I mean besides Randolph and that boot chick.

Their odds makers give Herman staying a 50% chance and Urban to Texas a 20% chance. 

I'm not sure if those bets are actually posted anywhere - neither of my books does anything close to head coaching futures.

I would hesitantly say it's a good sign that oddsmakers are coming out with actual numbers for the scenario that aren't super far-fetched.

It's based on a bet of $100. If you bet $100 on Herman and he is, you get $200 (your initial bet plus $100). Meyer would be $600 ($500 winnings plus initial $100 bet)

I got accepted to UT within a month or 2 of the VY national championship, was there during the Colt years and moved from Austin the summer of 2010. Just accepted a job in Austin and am moving back at the end of the year. I really just wanted to say "you're welcome", and I'm sorry for the last decade.

Sorry bro. I got a cat in 2002. He died in spring 2010 along with Texas Football. I should dig him up.

If you bet 100.00 on Herm you'll win 100.00  You have to bet 500.00 on Urban  to win 100.

 

 

 

ABOVE IS WRONG.  Bet 100 to win 500 on Urban, meaning he's 5 to 1.  I think that means he's in play though

50% = virtual lock in my book. It makes more sense when you think about how all this frenzy started with Urban’s wife ambiguously replying to random tweets. There’s nothing of any substance. Futureman’s anus has hope yet. 
 

I won’t go as far as saying I’ll fist myself if Meyer is hired but the safe bet (literally) is on Herman returning.
