If the first paragraph is true, that bodes well for us. I always felt that health concerns was the biggest obstacle. I don't think we balk at control, culture, or staffing at this point. I'm not worried if it doesn't happen today, and they wait until the  regular season is official over next week.

The only “yes but” would be staff. I can’t see him still being a maybe at all.  If he was a no we would hear it. So he’s a “yes” or a “yes but staff”.

I think it’s a yes. The staff angle is very interesting, could be true he doesn’t want to turn up the heat on his friends at Ohio St just yet.

I think theres som credence to this not taking place until after Kansas because of the pressure it would put his guys under while still at Ohio State. Obviously we all want this done ASAP, but i'm not gonna shit myself until its not CUM wearing burnt orange next year.

Burnt orange cum? Kinky...

I think he's a yes too.  If we don't hear today/tomorrow, then I'll start to bring my odds down, but today I think he's in.

Sorry guys, sounds like the decision was made last night, ole Herman is keeping his job. Directly from a BMD. Too much $$$ to pay out to existing staff & new hires with the current state of the athletic dept revenue is basically what it comes down to.

Money was never an issue and won’t be even if someone uses that excuse later. It’s an easy out instead of “he thought our fan base is full of spoiled big egos who won’t let the water come to a boil before throwing it out and starting over while bitching the coffee is never ready.”

For me, there are three options here:

OPTION 1: Urban is an asshole psychopath. It would be the only explanation if he currently knows he's not going to take the job. I don't believe this is the case, because if it were, it would mean that he is purposefully stringing out The University of Texas, to what? Just be a dick? I have a lot of objections to Meyer's handling of Fuckface McGee and his domestic violence shit, but otherwise he seems to conduct himself professionally. So I think it would be Busch League for him to just play us out like that. He could have, and would have put this whole thing to bed on Fox yesterday. Instead, it was awkward turtle crickets.

OPTION 2: He still doesn't know if he's going to take the job. Okay, maybe. But he's known it's coming to him for three months now. In my mind he's a YES, but could possibly be balking because he wants "his team," i.e., his specific staff he's worked with before. I don't necessarily buy this. Coaches aren't always able to walk in with all the assistants they want. And I don't see Urbs as the type of guy who is afraid to take a job unless all the stars are perfectly aligned. But this could lead to a NO if I've misread him and he's a little baby.

OPTION 3: He's a yes and waiting on word of Herman's departure.

 

Option 1: 0% 

Option 2: 30%

Option 3: 70%

Looks good to me. However……

Which is another reason why this may not happen today. Urban may want to wait until teams are done with the regular season to start poaching assistant coaches from other teams, or at least until they are announced. I can't imagine staff will be something we have issues with, regardless of cost. At this point we're in for a penny, in for a pound.

They’ll have the same pressure today, this week or anytime before the CFP because they’re likely going to be involved. I don’t buy Urban doing anything that would knee-cap the start of his UT tenure because of any loyalty to Ohio State. Urban-led Texas would immediately start going toe-to-toe with the Buckeyes over Texas HS recruits.

This is how I’m leaning right now. CDC is a professional and not an amateur like Patterson or Perrin. He knows how to hire coaches. If we’ve gotten to this point with the majority of the fan base wanting Meyer and with all the social media outcry and there has been no “no” from Meyer, I think he’s ours. He’s simply waiting for Herman to get canned and/or OSUs season to end.

I don't know that Urb wants to wait but knows protocol.  His guys are in the middle of a run for NC.  They need cover.  Maybe they told him they are in and is waiting as long as he can to give them cover or  maybe they told him to wait until after the season.  Urb may not know that part yet.  That said, my gut tells me Urb wants the job but wants it with his guys.  Infrastructure is everything per him yesterday.  I think Urb at the earliest accepts is next Sunday, and the only reason he would do that is, if he cares anything for NSD1 which i'm not sure is his highest priority.  Not to say it isn't important but he would be valuing strategizing how to get his guys over some 18yr olds.

Then why does Shelley tweat "lol" or "haha" any time someone asks her about Texas or Austin? If UM had conclusively turned down the offer, wouldn't she say "Please stop with these tweets, we are happy in Ohio and will not be moving to Austin"? That would be a simple thing to do, yet she continues to be evasive/cryptic.

I think those tweets rule out the possibility that he has already conclusively said no. Something is still happening. Perhaps they are still negotiating, perhaps they have a deal, or perhaps he's going to say no on Tuesday as Barton claims. Who knows. But he hasn't said no yet.

Houston matched up really well with those Bulls teams and when Grant went to Orlando they had no talent on the frontline unless you count 18 available fouls. The Dream frontcourt mismatch was greater than the MJ backcourt mismatch. They win at least the second and likely the first.

Definitely. Mad Max had a very good record of neutralizing Jordan during those years. It would have been a helluva Finals to see.

I was thinking the same way. He has to decide ahead of the early signing day. 

But we forgot about the new free agency rule. Urban to Texas will attract a ton of interest. And he knows this. So he's not worried about getting this done to lock in recruits. Because he expects to be able to pick and choose free agents after he signs. 

Which, I line with your covering for his tOSU people, is likely to be awhile.

Going back to the doomsday cult comparison for ol’RapGameLarry - there’s a phenomenon that occurs when a guru misses their proclaimed date for the end of the world or the aliens taking them into outer space - some of the followers rightly get disillusioned and head back towards reality and deal with the ramifications of their prior behaviors, but a good chunk of the followers just accept the newly stated date for exit and push even harder that this one is for reals for reals the right date. 

Anyone posting a fucking thing about the twitter dipshits after today unless something actually happens today is part of their silly cult and should be ashamed. 

[Mo Horn 8852]

I think the BMDs are waiting just like we are, at this point. They're in, money-wise, but are waiting for an answer. I have a secondary connection to a true BMD (I get that many here will think that's BS) who would absolutely be one of the people that would be contributing money to this effort.  My primary connection texted him and said they were hoping to hear some good news soon. The response was, "So am I."
