let’s get this glizzy train rolling

[Dbeasy 15,052]

Here is an update that I would imagine I’d see from know nothing 9.95’rs.

“As I’ve mentioned before, it’s my understanding that some time before Sunday of last week the process with Urban went sideways, with Urban turning down the unofficial outlines of an offer from Texas.

Since that time, our crack staff has been searching for a better understanding of why he turned it down, and why rumors have continued into this week. After all, if he turned it down, we wouldn’t be hearing about flights, staff hires, and other details.

After exhausting all potential sources, it appears one of three things has happened. Either a) Meyer leaked out to those close to him that he turned down the offer but is still negotiating anyway, b) Texas has in fact moved on to Plan B and all of the rumors are fictional accounts by trolls and paid web site reporters, and/or c) Texas doubled down, didn’t take no for an answer and upped the offer substantially.

Evidence has emerged for a) and c), and we all know b) is always in play - see Saban Texas circa 2012/2013.

For a), our staff have learned from Surlyhorns that Meyer actually deployed the same negotiating technique for the Ohio State job, lending credence to the a) theory.

For c), two posters on Surlyhorns with connections in the program claim something changed Tuesday night. That would indicate that improved deal terms did in fact caused Meyer to reconsider.

Armed with this new information, we reached out to our sources for commentary. While our sources were surprised to hear about scenario a), they already expected that c) would happen.

When asked whether they thought the situation might have changed since Sunday, they indicated it was possible, but that they had still heard nothing different since Sunday.

Our staff noted that if Meyer was in fact floating his rejection out to those around him last week, a change in situation this week wouldn’t likely be leaked yet.

On the theory that Urban would have already publicly rejected the offer by now, we believe that Meyer is reluctant to address the rumor because there is no job opening at this time. “

Today and tomorrow morning are super important, not to get a yes but to not hear a no. This game means nothing. As long as we don’t hear a no we look really really good. I will only worry if Herman isn’t fired by Monday at the very latest, if this drags to Tuesday we may be fucked and I suspect we hear some other names

If he's not fired by Sunday morning we're probably in a goat fuck situation. It will at least be a goat rodeo, trending toward goat fuck.

I was saying this yesterday. Urban would want this publicly resolved before people start asking him awkward questions on live TV Saturday. If he nevertheless keeps quiet, then most likely there's a deal, and he can't discuss it for timing reasons -- TX wants to wait to fire TH, or UM wants to wait due to tOSU's season.

Yup, it will be business as usual. They've skated around the subject but they aren't going to press it or force an answer. 

 

It will be similar to his last weekend on ESPN back in 2011 I'd assume unless they learned from that ordeal and that's why there is basically no information out right now. Which I'm sure is something that Urban has to respect a lot from our side of the table.

So there isn't really a feasible way we get the news today is there? Firing coach a day before the game is not a good look. I think if it's a done deal we know immediately after the Saturday game or as soon as the KS game is cancelled 

The only way news could leak earlier, imo, is if this will be set up that Herman is leaving for another job.

I could see that coming in a press release, with Herman still coaching ksu, but with that being his last game.

I think chances of that happening are very, very, very slim, but there have been rumors that both scar and vandy are interested, and if we've negotiated a buyout with a soft landing that doesn't seem quite as bad to announce before a game.

If he's going to be fired, zero chance the announcement happens before ksu at this point.

Remember, if the squid man is to be believed, he said three more sunsets yesterday. That would mean either Saturday for Herman and Sunday for Meyer, Sunday for both, or possibly Sunday for Herman and Monday for Meyer.

This is going smoother than it did in 2011 for Urban in regards to information getting leaked. Which IMO is a positive for us to show we can run a tight ship under the new administration of Hartzell/CDC with Eltife being the chair of the BoR since 2018.

It's funny, they really didn't ask him that, even though if you're paying attention they did.

I bet a good portion of the audience who only casually follow cfb completely missed what actually happened in that exchange.

All they really asked him was if he'd pick Austin as a great college town. There was significantly more implied, and that was obvious from all of their reactions, but he still wasn't directly asked about it. I'm not sure they'd go that far.

[Nicole44 22,060]

Good morning! What’s for breakfast? Ha!

Stuff I expect 9.95’ers to say: 

1) Belmont’s super secret hideout for entertaining coaching hires has been exposed. They will now have to conduct their negotiations via Zoom as Plan B is now in full swing. Main candidates seem to be a “woke” Godzilla, Ironman and Thor. While it appears one may be deceased we can’t confirm that. Or if we could, we can’t say. Spoilers and all that.
2) All we will say is it’s a “coin flip.” There are some around the program who really really don’t want Thor. Something to do with the Hammer of the Gods and wanting full control of the practice field. Some of the demands like living in a Penthouse at the Top of the UT Tower are a non-starter. We are not changing our fight song to Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song.”
 

3) There seems to be a push among alumni to add the McRib to stadium food offerings as well. This is troubling and could spell the end of some negotiations with another candidate. As we said before Meyer is still in play and the ball is in his court. He could say yes, no or maybe. Or he could ghost us. Also,  Belmont has continued to assure Tom Herman that his position is safe as well. That’s what those close to Tom are telling us. All of these things could happen. None of them could happen. Surly is a Palace of Degenerates. Don’t visit their site. We may have to raise our monthly price a bit as the past few days of traveling back and forth from ABIA and Horseshoe Bay is expensive. 
 

4) It may be a day, week or month before we know anything we can report. But we know more stuff than a squid. We do. As proof of this, we are offering to our premium members a course in emojis and how to use and interpret them. We also have a spy in Shelley’s Twitter account. We have people all over. That’s why your news must come from here. Be the first to know. Nothing. It’s a coin flip at this point.

Despite reports out of Columbus from Kirk Barton, a former player of Urban Meyer, that Meyer is not taking the Texas head coaching position, I have no new reliable news on the Urban Meyer front as it relates to Texas as of 6:50 this morning.

The last I have heard from an unimpeachable Texas source is what I shared with the board yesterday afternoon. “It is all up to Urban at this point,” is the last text I have received on the matter.

It should be noted that unlike from the Texas point of view, I do not have an unimpeachable source from the Meyer camp.

I need to share that point with the community here. I am likely to be made aware of any decision that is communicated to Texas and will share it here as soon as I get it.

How any news will become official or public is out of any person’s control, except perhaps Meyer himself.

So we wait.
