Urban Meyer or bust

[BurntOrange&White 39,934]

HOT OFF THE PRESS:

 

• #1

Much of the Texas internet is working itself into a frenzy by assuming Urban Meyer to Texas is all but done.

I don’t want to pour cold water on you, but some of you need it. From our vantage point, it’s not done. We know Texas hasn’t been told ‘no’ so that’s a win in itself at this late juncture, but too may are putting the quarterback ahead of the center.

There is a lot of misdirection out there right now (Steve Sarkisian? Lol, but I heard it too). I believe what my sources are hearing, but I’m not always believing what they’re hearing. Meaning, sources are acting in good faith, but they might not be hearing accurate info despite how close they are to the epicenter.

Urban Meyer

For those who are new, when we title a thread with a name only it’s bad news. It’s a respectful trigger warning that tells the reader “enter at your own risk.” That doesn’t apply to headings, but I’ll post the negatives we’ve heard recently under ‘name only’.

— We have an agent who is adamant Meyer isn’t going to take the job. He isn’t Urban’s agent, but we know him quite well. I’ve used his information in the past and when he would tell me Random Coach X was either taking a job or declining a job, I’ve always believed him in the past. He mentioned Urban Meyer golfing in Northern California before a picture made its way to the world wide Surly. He also said he and Shelley were wine tasting in Napa earlier this week. This doesn’t sound like a coach in deep negotiations. Could it be that he’s just getting some R&R in before the stress resumes? That’s plausible, but doesn’t necessarily fit his profile. Fortunately, misdirection does, and it’s possible he’s leading the agent astray.

— The agent said, perhaps hyperbolically, ”Fox will pay him more than he made at Florida.” He’s making over a million now and was “only“ making $4 million or so when he left Gainesville. It’s nowhere close to what Texas would pay him.

— We’ve heard Meyer will struggle to get his entire crew back together: that is Marotti, Pantoni, and other key infrastructure personnel. The reason given is he’s extremely demanding to work for. Hearing that reminds me of talking to former Saban employees. They’re grateful for the experience but their employment has a shelf life. However, we feel he’d bring at least one of his key guys. Marotti (S&C) is happy in Columbus but money talks.

— In the last couple days I haven’t talked to anyone outside of the Texas ecosystem who thinks Meyer will be the next coach. There does seem to be more people taking it seriously, though.

Clearly a lot of people are late to this development. They might still be getting their bearings.

On Urban Meyer

The ‘on’ does a lot of work for Inside Texas thread titles. This is good news, or at a minimum not bad news, which is all you can hope for the last decade. It doesn‘t apply to headers but the board needs more reps.

— Despite the rumors and chatter we have not heard it’s done. UT officials are ‘okay’ with where the current position is. Key officials have Texas as a very slight favorite to pull the hire off. Call it a real coin flip from their POV.

— Urban’s “control” requests have been met with nods of approval.

— We’ve heard the daughters are on board but Shelley is still a bit hesitant. She’s Urban when it comes to this — she won’t give up her position. If the daughters are on board, she is too. And yes, Corey Dennis, Urban’s son-in-law who coaches at Ohio State, would be in line for a big raise if he wanted it.

— At the same time Bobby was getting ready to make his much emulated Wednesday post, Justin forwarded information that corroborated: “Texas is about to make one final big push.” That alone tells you: A) he’s not a yes B) he’s not a no. (As does the information we’ve presented about Texas working contingency angles)

— Was that final push to close the deal, or make one last ditch effort? We don’t know that answer but the sense is the push has been a positive.

— Health issues aren’t going to scuttle the deal per two sources on Wednesday.

— There’s a key figure throughout this ordeal that we’ll shed more info on later, but it’s a pro-Texas figure.

— There seems to be a slight upward trend in confidence on the Texas side. After a positive weekend, Monday wasn’t a great day on my news front. Tuesday only slightly better. Let’s see what Thursday brings.

The info and fact patterns would have me feeling optimistic like everyone else, but the stuff we’ve heard from the agent is giving me pause. Also, this isn’t ordinary agent games for reasons I can’t divulge. But we know how to read through agent BS.

In short, we feel good about what we’ve heard on the Texas side but much less so externally. The way these things go, if Texas is a ‘no’ they’d probably be the last to know.

First note: We’re not going to post anything of substance outside of the ops. If you’re on page 14 that’s because you‘re engulfed in the Horseshoe Bae ceiling fan flight aware circus like everyone else.

The easiest thing to help you cut through the noise and find the signal is to click on our names and hit ‘follow’.

We won’t get to a point where we let you down slow. Urban’s either going to be in or out and that’s when we’ll hit you with the hammer or errant champagne cork.

That’s likely Freya’s Day at the earliest or Mani’s Day a.m. at the latest.

Hearne, TX is the worst city in the state. I get depressed every time I go through it.

When I was running title in Robertson County the local Sheriff told me then that Hearne led the state in the number of drug seizures (not amount). Apparently due to its proximity between 35 and 45, as well as being a crossroad in between.

Also, Franklin is a great small town.

As for Van Horn, back in the '70s I had the greatest hot shower of my life there. But only because my dad and I had just come out of the mountains to the north, where we'd been hunting mule deer on a remote ranch for a week and sleeping in an old shed that had been a goat pen in a former life. No running water at all.

So...any port in a storm. Even Port Arthur.

I'll agree that there are shittier places than Corsicana and someone above was right about the bakery at least having clean bathrooms, but it's not good when your big selling points are fruit cake, clean bathrooms and a HEB.  There are way crappier places between Waco and Tyler, namely Brownsboro, Kerens, Malakoff, etc...all bad.

[Mikey4 2,476]

If you boil it down to its essence - Burton's BOR scoop and the mainstream outlets picking the story up - even if it's a what-if or opinion piece - is a good sign.  All the chatter is discounted 100% and the flightaware stuff seems to at least partially corroborate Burton's scoop.
twitter squid, curtaingate, Mrs. Meyer's cryptic "lol" twitter responses, all mean close to nothing.  scratch that, they mean nothing.  they make it fun. 

Oddly, Mrs. Meyer's cryptic Twitter responses are the most direct, publicly available evidence that (1) there have indeed been talks between TX and Meyer, and (2) Meyer has not said no. The only reason for cryptic responses is if a deal is in the works or has been finalized but not announced.

That's not any groundbreaking revelation, but it's straight from Shelly Meyer instead of being related fourth hand from someone who probably read it on surly to begin with.

It’s not theater. The people tracking this accurately are some of the most pessimistic fuckheads around. Truth is, actual journalism should make skeptics of anyone in the profession.
