Not sure how anyone with anything above a 4th grade reading level of comprehension can see anything but that statement as the Kiss of Death. 
 

It had many key elements, but was far from any vote of confidence. “Is” the coach, for example. None of it said anything that meant he wouldn’t be fired at any given time. 
 

It could have, but sure didn’t wouldn’t have been difficult to say TH is our coach and will be on the sidelines next season. Or whatever, but you get the drift.

You know if the Urban deal doesn't work out I actually think our next best option is hiring Mack Brown. UNC is starting to look like a powerhouse and Mack's recruiting staff is no joke. Imagine what he could do with Texas' resources?!

[Truck Norris 88]

I’m not sure what else CDC should have said no matter who ends up being the coach next year, but it reads like something someone put together last minute after someone was bugging them about it for a week.

Friend just got off the phone with a contact in Tibet. He was told that there won't be any Urban Meyer but on your deathbed you will receive total consciousness. So we've got that going for us, which is nice. A little something for the effort, ya know?

O were my love yon Lilac fair,
Wi' purple blossoms to the Spring,
And I, a bird to shelter there,
When wearied on my little wing!
How I wad mourn when it was torn
By Autumn wild, and Winter rude!
But I wad sing on wanton wing,
When youthfu' May its bloom renew'd.

Here's a toast to a dream of Spring, and Longhorn football be renewed

Mullen and Boom if possible, I’d be sold.

Barring a playoff birth Mullen is just as gettable now as he was yesterday but this may speed up the process. 

One bad loss on a weird night where they were a once in a lifetime penalty from getting to OT and winning should not change our opinion on him. Get him a top flight DC and he'd shine here in a heartbeat 

Man, this the same type of posts I kept seeing when Herman was dropping games to Mumfis, Navy, and a fucking Chad Morris SMU squad (after Herman talked smack leading up to the game, as all mature coaches do): "The more he loses, the earlier their bowl game, and the sooner we can get him here!" I saw that reasonably often -- it seemed like each Cougar loss made Herman more desirable and that we needed him here faster than he arrived. 

It's like some of y'all latch on to some shiny flash in the pan coach and then become blind to all red flags, even when they are being waved right in your face. Herman could not win consistently without Greg Ward, he blamed his players for his losses, he got in pissing matches on Twitter and sportsradio with aggy morons, his recruiting skills were largely a fluke, he won with another coach's players, and showed a knack for playing down to his competition. 

Last night on this board I read that even Tom Herman would be able to beat this year's LSU team, who were described as being as terrible as a Charlie Strong team. This all while a large number of you believe

A) that Dan Mullen would leave a winning borderline blueblood  to come rebuild here in a far shittier conference; and

B) that it somehow doesn't matter that his team just lost to a sub-Charlie Strong-level LSU team.

It's "Hurr-durr they hate him in Gainesville now so that makes him easier for us to get!"

Would you buy a car like that? Or ice cream? if Blue bell drastically cut prices, would you rejoice because it was now cheaper than it was before it started sickening and killing people?

No, this is not a "Lost a game, do not want" post, and Dan Mullen hasn't poisoned or killed anyone yet that we know of but if we are really going to pony up $25m for a buyout, we need to do better than a coach with a regular proven track record of losing to lesser teams.

Lol - the tinfoilers on this thread would have overanalyzed the shit out of that statement to convince themselves Helton was most definitely on the way out.  

"will continue to be" - they didn't say how long continue will be . . . ohh, and "heading into 2020" only means a few dats into 2020.  Helton's definitely gone!!  

Except CDCs statement reads like someone writing the eulogy for a shitty boss. 
 

“He was the boss.  He told us what to do.  He did sign checks and that will be missed.”

Apologies I was late for night shift but its really not hard to say, if you already know you are keeping Tom, "Tom Herman will be coaching the Texas Longhorns at our first game next season.  We believe Tom is the right coach for our team."  Sure Tom could get caught doing lines off a strippers ass or get a DWI and get canned but that can happen at any time. You don't say "barring some unforseen circumstances Tom Herman will be our coach at our first game next season"

If you aren't sure but you need recruits to stay on board you say what CDC said.

Tom may already know and he and CDC have an agreement to play this out and Tom gets his 15M.  Tom probably already knew exactly what CDC was going to say so if someone asked about it he already has a canned answer.

I can see you're from the Night shift. Represent.

I haven't read the entire thread and I'm not going to. Read the past 10 pages.

I'm guessing Urban's sticking point is he either wants to be AD also and we weren't ready to fire CDC, or he found out our local sports media routinely shits on our program even when winning. Things like writing hit pieces before signing day, not voting for our starting QB for Heisman, etc. It's harder to hide recruiting violations when you don't have total control of everything.

Then, I heard he said no. That was also proved to be correct. The view currently is that we are looking for Plan B and Herman is definitely out. This aligns with ctj’s view as well. As a result, I’m sticking with the view that Herman is out and plan B is in the works.

That was never 'proven' correct.

Agree. I can't believe anyone thinks the romancing of the Meyer deal is over. 

This one isn't over. Things got in the way, but he asked for our best offer.

This deal in the works surfaced prematurely before it was even half-baked. Deals of this size take time. 

We are past the flirty stage. Meyer is asking to see the package in its full glory - make it simple, and memorable.

  Hide contents

 

++++++++++++++

troph - didn't you put together corp deals at one point? You know how complicated deals a deal in this environment would be - and the parties have haven't settled on participants and numbers. Meyer is asking for our last and best offer. I would assume that is in the works.

If it's not, why not?  All that has to be done quietly and surface when the time is appropriate. There is no way Meyer is becoming the story at OSU - especially if the lose. It's a good reason to root for them this year. And a good time for Meyer to create a winter home (for year round use). 

Hook 'em

 

 

Agreed.

What would be the worst way to end 2020? On Dec 31. a loss to Arkansas or a loss to LSU in the Texas  bowl? I want us to win every game, but damn if this just isn’t wrapping up as one hell of a crappy ending.
Tom doesn’t believe in momentum so at least we will have that going into next year.

People would probably be more inclined to believe you if you didn't post dumbass ninja emojis everytime you claimed to have "inside info". 

Or a couple weeks ago you when you told @RGBIII he could celebrate. Once you got confirmation from @Mr Orange and @Injury Prone saying they were the real deal. That Urban Meyer was in the bag. But if I recall correctly, you hedged on that completely and had come peace to the fact Herman would end up being the coach next year. 

So either put your nuts on the table (if you have any) and fill us in on what you "know". Or just shut the fuck up. It's that simple. 

Dude he's not gonna do anything. This is the same dude that posted a picture of Urban Meyer on a zoom call with ninja emojis, implying that he knew someone that was still talking to him, only for the board to discover to that it was a publicly available webinar about leadership that Urban was speaking on.  He still never explained that by the way, he's just hoping it gets lost among the McRib and Westerns talk.

He also said we weren’t getting urban.  So he’s going to be right either way.  Hfd steals from the 9.95 losers and Instagram and then posts them as their own.
