Mullen not wanting is understandable bc it's a lateral move from UF

He may have already been in talks with another party? Not sure. Or he really wants to stay? 
The rumor was he was contacted and was a no. But this is all conjecture and wild speculation. Not the careful thought out research and posts we offer here.

Lol. Campbell not wanting the Texas job is funny. One of the funnier things I've read today. 

[Loather 127]

The POS that is CDC says that Darrell Royal is not coming through the door. True. But we have not even had an average coach in ten years, that is all we need, people are starting to get discouraged like it is impossible to find a competent coach, it's not, the administrators have just made really bad hires, inexplicably bad hires

 

Mack Brown admitted he went through some kind of multi-year funk after Colt was injured. He was fired too early, but there was no way of knowing when or if he would pull out of it. He screwed the program he built.

Charlie Strong was hired for PC reasons. He had no business coaching the Texas Longhorns.

Tom Herman being hired was childish. He had 1.5 years of head coaching experience, only one successful season. One.

We Need:

(1) A basic coaching search to find a competent, demanding individual, I could find one

(2) Run some version of an Air-Raid offense. Despite Tom saying he runs a "pro-spread" and all of the other OCs we have had the last ten years claiming to be running a "Spread Offense" it has never been the fast paced, throw the ball all over the field offense that other teams in the Big 12 have been slashing us with, we need the real thing

(3) We need a quarterback that can throw a football. Card should be serviceable with the right OC, if not bring in a grad transfer 

(4) Top ten recruiting classes.

The last one we already have, that's why we are not Nebraska, we can still salvage this

I'd go all in for Urban or Eric Bieniemy, the OC for KC Chiefs.    It won't be long before the NFL makes Eric a HC, unless we got to him first.  However, about anyone or anything would be better than TH.

I would rather watch another year of Herman turtling the program to 7-6 next season than seeing Eric Bieniemy announced as the HC. That dude is nothing but a product of the system he’s attached to with Reid.

@closetojumping I think you mentioned that you heard that the push for Meyer was not 100% dead right? Or is it now the case that Meyer would need to be the one to come back and say he reconsidered as the administration/donors have moved on to other candidates?

I wouldn’t be surprised by anything at this point. I’m guessing Texas makes one more run at him.

if it was locked down then none of us would ever have known they were negotiating with Urban Meyer behind the scenes. We wouldn't have known a damn thing until they announced Herman's firing and his hiring. 

They need to get a control of that athletic department when it comes to football. Need to cut everybody out of the loop except the AD and the coach on everything from recruiting to information about the program or anything else. Make it clear to all the players and staff that anybody caught leaking anything that happens in the locker room outside will immediately be cut from the program or fired. Texas will never be back to national prominence until they can make the environment suitable for a good coach and not require a good coach and an expert politician. It's becoming obvious that is just fact at this point. 

The fact that we have to secure the buyout funding meant that there was not going to be a lockdown.  The people paying the buyout wanted to know what they were getting for their $25M.

It was locked down better than ever before, except for that.

good with option #2.  kingsbury is making 5.5 in the league, so next best option in the pirate tree to get an OC appears to be sonny dykes, making 1.3 @ smu, .500 record over 11 seasons at loutech, cal & smu.  would he step down to take an OC job if we doubled his salary?

I've seen that 1.3 figure as well. There is no fucking way we are only paying him that much - certainly not after this season.

[Nicole44 22059]

@closetojumping 

a) Thanks! 🤘🏼
 

b) I only have the one source but it sounds like “no” was not something deterring the chase for Meyer.

if they are making another run (and knowing a bit about my source they are), my fingers are crossed. 
 

I haven’t heard much else. Just that my Panhandle peep hates Herman (not new news) and was asked more than a couple of weeks ago, not pass the hat style, if he would be willing to contribute to the fire Herman/get Meyer fund. Said yes. Promised a sum of money. He was fine with this. Told me there was more than enough money to make the buyout happen and then some. Didn’t balk at saying if more was needed he’d be fine with it. His kids all do well (on their own and none are fuck ups) so he’s fine with contributing the cash as he has done so in various ways in the past. 

but that is all I really know. Still don’t know the backstory on why he hates Herman so much. But based on ur posts about ur meeting Herman I can only imagine.

You’re probably right, but it will be interesting to see if someone offers him a big job. Especially if he can keep what he has going into next year. He had a pretty salty team.

Yeah but he’s done it over the course of 4 seasons and built that program up. 
 

https://247sports.com/Coach/Luke-Fickell-88/AllTimeRecruits/

 

There was a segment where Urban was talking of Fickell and said Fickell was a 4-3 guy but now he has Cincinnati running 3-4 because the talent he has fit that scheme better. That says a lot about how he adapts and he’s a defensive coach initially but his offenses have been good too

I'm not even convinced he's an above average OC.   3 RPO in a row to open the game then releasing the kraken looked to me like No Turtle At All.   I know it was discussed, did we ever hear any more rumors about turtle being told to butt out and let the coordinators call the plays?

Charlie being the worst coach in program history doesn't absolve Mack of making us sit through 2 more absolute beatdowns at the hands of OU and inserting his old, flaccid penis in between us and Saban and shaking it around until Saban got scared off.
