Urban Meyer or bust

[victory88 5682]

One more thing to consider.  Urban could come here and if we win, he could hand the fuckkng keys to his son-in-law.

Too much of this makes sense for him to say no.

You won’t be able to ask any of us to bail you out.

Because we will be sitting in the cell next to you.

Harsh reality is Herman is the best option after Urban. Luke Fickel??? Come on

No, that's not the harsh reality. There are better options, you're just not gunna find it here on Surly. That's CDC's job, and he needs to fucking do it.

So how many coaches do you think can lead UT to the promised land in the next 5 or so years if they were hired by year end?  Urban. Saban, Dabo, Riley, Day, Mullen.  Kelly?  Anyone else? 

Sure, a certain number of coaches won't leave their current jobs for UT, but that list has to be pretty short I'd imagine.  If there are truly less than 10-15 coaches in the country that can win us a national championship given all of the resources (if utilized correctly) we have available at Texas, then we're doomed.  

It sucks Urban hasn't accepted our overtures yet, but I can't fathom Tom is the best option for us next year if we can't land Meyer.  I agree that hiring someone else, Campbell, Fickell, insert name here, is no guarantee.  But it gives us a chance.  And a fresh face and hopefully some sort of shot in the arm for recruiting.  I literally have zero hope of Herman getting us to where we need to be at this point.  And in the meantime, he is actively damaging the program every single day that he stays the head coach because of his lame duck status and inability to recruit right now.  If he couldn't win with the roster this year, good luck in a few years after we have a few more offensive classes like we're about to sign this year.  This is a huge offseason, especially with the transfer portal freebie coming up and the loaded 2022 recruiting class.  And I can't see any reason why Herman should be the one to lead us through it.

did anyone finish that statistical analysis of HSB to Columbus and back?  comparing month over month, year over year, and layering in the hunting/resort/covid issues?  seems really important.

Plan A - Urban

Plan B - Give Urban more incentive

Plan C - Rinse / Repeat

So if he says no, keep adding zeros to the end of the offer until he says yes?

4 years of watching Herman how can anyone think this is the best we can do?  Because that what these assholes who say 'bring back Herman' are saying - that this is the best we can do.

Fuck them.  And fuck you if you believe that.

They're confusing "best my dumb ass can come up with" with "best remaining option." Just because "you" can't think of anything better, doesn't mean someone else can't. CDC's paid to do it. Do it.

Welp, since this glorious thread, and our related hopes & dreams re Urb, will clearly not die...

let's include some new/necessary sidetrack of this bad boy with discussion of one or more of the following:

Chick-Fil-A - spicy v. reg sandwich/pickles or no pickles

I don’t know about the son-in-law thing but I keep landing on your last sentence for why I was certain this was going to happen, and still hold out hope.

I am choosing to remain optimistic re: Meyer as nothing official has happened. I unfortunately see this dragging out after NSD 1 and going into new calendar year before Herman is let go/new coach named.

I can see where Herman is let go and Ash or someone else coaches bowl game potentially though.

We will see. At the end of the day I would rather try a no head coaching model next year and let Yurchich and Ash run their respective sides of house vs keeping Herman in the role.

I’m in the camp that Urban has pretty much said yes. He just doesn’t want to disrupt anything dealing with ohio st since they are still in the hunt.

if he was coming here, his attitude towards disrupting Ohio State would be "tough shit". 

His loyalty and deference to Ohio State would end the minute he became responsible for the success of Texas' football program.

Maybe @Nicole44 should eat a McRib every day until Urban is hired, and then post nudes.

Maybe before and after nudes, for science.

Tom makes mistakes that come back to haunt him at the end.

Urban taking his job would complete the circle.

Tom’s sneaky move of leaking the Zach Smith story cost Urban his job at OSU.

But now that Urban is available, Tom’s job is more in danger than ever.

Poetic justice if Urban comes here.

Let's have Carrington be head coach and give him Herman's double secret decision binder and simply have him do the opposite of everything that it says to do.

True. My bad. I mean that the guys coming with urban do not want to disrupt what’s going on and have told urban they don’t want to disrupt but to wait until after the season. Urban agreed. That’s just a take tho. Tin foil thinking. Ha ha.

Sure.  On the field and in recruiting.  But he has a legacy and relationships there that are worth protecting there.  If he were to derail an ongoing National Championship run by creating distractions and poaching assistants, he would significantly damage that relationship and legacy.  I think it’s perfectly reasonable that he would be sensitive to that until after the season plays out.
